Quinta da Sao Thiago is a tucked away sanctuary for those looking for a stay off the main stream of Sintra. The home belongs to Maria Theresa and her family, who reside on the premise and very much part of your stay from the beautiful piano music to the conversations at the breakfast table.
One must know that this location is on the south side of Sintra near Montserrate and not easy to find, and once you have found the last turn, you travel down a winding dirt road for a few kilometers.
One must also know that you are a bit isolated,mexico was our beauty,mount no food,restaurants etc are provided or surrounding the Quinta. We picked up some food and used the refrigerator in the kitchen for storage.
The grounds are lush and moderately maintained as well as the Quinta itself. Our favorite was the surroundings of the Sintra forest and all of the trees in the backyard, around the pool.
Our family stayed for 4 nights and so enjoyed Sintra and all the beauty it has to offer and the history of the Quinta di Sao Thiago.
