The house and property are absolutely amazing. The house has so much history and such a unique feel. It is awe inspiring walking through the rooms and looking at all of the decor, photos, and historical pieces. The library is stunning and the gardens on the property are wonderful to walk through. Idalida, the manager, is incredibly hospitable and accommodating to any needs. They make a wonderful Portuguese breakfast for you every morning that consists of fresh squeezed juice, coffee, cold cuts, cheeses, toasts, jam, and usually some sort of pastry or egg dish.
The only negative thing about the Quinta is the location. The Quinta is situated down a long and very narrow dirt road that many Uber drivers are weary to travel. It is difficult to get picked up by an Uber at the Quinta and we usually had to walk down about 10/15 minutes to the main road to fetch an Uber. And because of the one-way roads in Sintra, it can take up to 30 minutes to get to parts of town even though they are very close geographically.
Other than that, the Quinta is a wonderful place to stay and we really hope to come back and relive the magic of the property. It is truly magnificent.
