Hotel Nova Sintra — Hotel in Sintra

Our recent stay at the Hotel Nova Sintra was nothing short of exceptional. This generational, family-run gem, managed meticulously by a father and son, offers an experience steeped in tradition, professionalism, and genuine hospitality. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm and heartfelt reception that made us feel like long-lost family returning home—a true reflection of Portuguese kindness and charm. The attention to detail throughout our stay was remarkable and deeply appreciated. The check-in process was seamless, and the warm, personal touches extended right through to the end of our visit. The rooms were a perfect blend of authentic Portuguese style and modern comfort—spotlessly clean, spacious, and exceptionally cozy. Waking up to the stunning view of a mystical castle was an experience we’ll never forget. The terrace was lovely with plenty of seats to enjoy breakfast, or drinks as well take in the views of the Moorish Castle. The location is simply unbeatable. Nestled in the heart of Sintra, the Hotel Nova Sintra is just a short walk from the town’s iconic sites, delightful restaurants, and charming shops and boutiques. Whether exploring historic landmarks or indulging in local cuisine, everything was easily accessible, adding to the overall convenience and magic of our stay. Our time at the Hotel Nova Sintra was not just a stay—it was an experience filled with warmth, authenticity, and memories we’ll cherish forever. We can’t wait to return and reconnect with our newfound friends at this exceptional hotel. Highly...

My sister and I spent two nights at the Hotel Nova Sintra and had a great experience. The hotel is family-owned and located about 1/2 mile from the historic center, an easy walk and away from the tourist throngs in the historic center. The room was very clean and comfortable and there is a very nice rooftop plaza out front. Breakfast offered hot (scrambled) eggs, sausage, and potatoes. There was fresh fruit and sliced tomatoes, pastries, and a machine that made a nice cappuccino (among other coffee drinks). The service was great. The hotel arranged a car for us from the Lisbon airport. They referred us to two very good local restaurants for dinner and even made reservations for us. The morning we went to the Pena Palace it was pouring rain. The hotel lent us an umbrella and called us a taxi that took us to the palace entrance so that we avoided some of the rain. They also told us the route to take to walk down from the Moorish castle to the city. The proprietor and his son were very kind and accommodating. I highly recommend Hotel...

From start to finish this was truly a splendid stay. The hotel is very close to the train station. Walkable for sure although i did not use it. We booked 3 rooms and one was with a terrace. The terrace did not offer a view but was a great place to hang out which we did often. Rooms are clean and the breakfast makes this place seem so homely. Add to that Rui the owner and it is a truly winning combination. He gives you all guidance on what to see and how to get there. There are lots of small restaurants close by and some of them are open till late. There is parking very close to the property but I don't think it is guaranteed and would not want to put Rui on the spot. Reach out to him directly because he is so friendly and being a local he is privy to nuances of the area that only a local can give. I would stay here over Lisbon and in this hotel...
