Joao Jungle — Hotel in Sintra

It's an ok place. I can't comment on the separate apartments but the one on the main building is ok (well, it is a basement or at least it feels like one). It has 2-3 bedrooms a bathroom a kitchen a living room and outdoor space. Just be careful when booking this and confirm that you have the 2 or the 3 beds (to avoid further surprises). Although even if you have booked the 2 bedrooms, the third one should still be free (unoccupied) as it does have access to the rest of the "apartment".

Now, the rest of the rooms are ok. No air con but there are dehumidifiers. Two of the rooms have no window (or they open to a store room/garage). The bathroom could do with some love. There is a washing machine but you'll be charged for using it.

João Jungle is a lovely place to stay! Situated in beautiful natural surroundings, you can go on hikes and walk to unspoilt beaches right from your door.

Hosts Johanna and Ron are warm-hearted people with a passion for Portugal, who will give you lots of tips and always make time to help you find your way. The apartments are exceptionally comfortable, well-equipped and clean, with very good beds and a cozy personal touch, including garden-picked fruit on your dining table. And the swimming pool is perfect for a refreshing dip. It’s truly a very relaxing place that I’d love to revisit any...

I had a great time in Joao Jungle. The hosts are incredibly nice and always willing to help you. Everything is done with love and attention and you can see that in everything. The studios are clean and super nicely decorated. What a magical place where you can completely unwind. In the garden you have enough different places where you can read a book or something similar. In addition, you can use an authentic stone oven, with accompanying pizza dough recipes, and BBQs. And besides all this, you are in the best location in the world in terms of surf. What...
