We stayed here because they offer laundry facility. The overall ambiance was lovely with great options for snacks and breakfast.
Only thing I would mention is the hotel is not new, with older windows and some rust/mold. Room also smells bad, but you can air it out with open windows.
Keep in mind this town/area is not modern, so I still give it 4 star in reverence to other facilities in the area and reasonable price.

We had the most special stay here and wish we could have stayed longer. The property is so clean and the attention to details are incredible. Douglas was more than helpful with any of our needs and a great help with dinner reservations as well as entrance tickets to the major attractions. I would highly recommend staying here and enjoying the hospitality.

Staying here was absolutely fantastic! The whole place is beautiful and feels very cozy. A lot of love was put into the tasteful interior design. The room was perfect, very comfortable and equipped with a big TV and a Nespresso machine. It was very quiet as well. The breakfast was excellent. Fresh, high quality products and a lot of options. Douglas and his team are absolutely lovely and make every guest feel welcome. Don‘t miss out on this gem!

Nice, nice, nice. Very accomodating and comfy. Beautiful, peaceful decorating.
Would recommend in a heartbeat but must know only very limited public parking. Especially on weekend. Less stress if take a train from Lisbon and plan around that.

Great stay in Sintra
Great location in Sintra with nice rooms, common areas and other amenities.
The laundry appliances do need to be cleaned but other than that, our short stay was wonderful.
Breakfast was delicious and the complimentary wine and beer was a nice touch.

Wonderful and welcoming host. Thank you, Douglas, for the hospitality and the information about the area and the Jeep tour. The breakfasts were delicious, as were the afternoon treat times.
It was a very comfortable and unique place to stay. It seemed truly Portuguese.

Just outside the historic part of city which was great because it is easy to walk into town but you don't get stuck in traffic
No one to greet you at entrance or desk, but very easy check in process
Wonderful breakfast with fresh fruit, eggs, yogurt, meat, cheese, bread, cake, local pastries and coffee and then afternoon always has free beer, port and pastries
Overall clean, convenient and lovely, but not luxury

The best Bed & Breakfast i’ve ever experienced. I have much appreciation to all the staff and Helena, who prepared fresh local food every morning and was very friendly and helpful with any questions we had. She even packed breakfast for me and my wife the night before we left since we were leaving for breakfast the next day. Thank you!

We appreciated that they contacted us via WhatsApp which allowed for quick and fluid communication. Anything we needed there was a response in less than 5 minutes. They kindly sent a map of nearby free parking and we were able to secure a spot less than 2 minutes walking from the property.
Check in was easy and the property absolutely precious! Our room was spacious, spotless and filled with amenities such as a mini bar with beer and juice and soda free of charge, hats to use during our stay, robes and slippers and plenty of hangers, which I find important. Bathroom was stocked as well.
A special touch about this place is the lounge area they have downstairs with free snacks, coffee, tea, beer and the local favorite port wine to be enjoyed by guests in the afternoon till 12am.
We were able to walk to dinner as well as the center is about 5 minutes walking from this place.
All in all, would highly recommend!

Frustrating check-in
Arriving into Sintra we were extremely disappointed with the check in process. Prior to arriving we did not receive any instructions on check-in and had to borrow locals phone in order to contact the property group. Despite calling multiple times staff did not answer our calls and it was extremely frustrating to get into our room. Although the check in process was bad the hotel was nice. Rooms were clean and staff working in the kitchen were extremely friendly. I would recommend this hotel if not for the poor management.

A memorable stay
Everything about our experience was exceptional from the moment we arrived. We were warmly welcomed by Douglas, who went out of his way to ensure our stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
The room and the property were exactly as pictured: clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated. We appreciated the complimentary drinks in the minibar and especially loved the view from our window, which overlooked a peaceful "Quinta" where sheep grazed each morning—an idyllic and memorable moment. Street parking nearby was easy to find and cheap (Rua José Antunes dos Santos.)
Access to the building and room was seamless, with entry codes sent in advance via email. Communication through WhatsApp was also very efficient—any questions we had were quickly and clearly answered.
Breakfast each morning was a highlight: freshly squeezed orange juice, homemade cakes, fruits, eggs, cold cuts, a full coffee bar. The small details really stood out: fresh flowers on the tables, replaced daily by Douglas, and soft fado music playing in the background, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Complimentary evening treats available until midnight! (Porto wine, small pastries, fruit, and beer) —perfect after a long day exploring Sintra. On our final night, when I casually mentioned the Porto wine had run out, Douglas generously gifted us a bottle as a parting gesture—a thoughtful and memorable way to end our stay. We would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

A fantastic place to stay!
Casa da Estefanea was a highlight in our portuguese roadtrip and I cannot recommend it enough if you're into a quiet, top notch luxury and elevated B&B experience.
- Before we arrived:
Douglas, the general manager, reached out to us and shared the check-in details, parking area, sightseeing recommendations & booking links & dining recommendations as well as all the needed information to make our arrival smooth and hassle-free.
- When we arrived:
* We followed Douglas' instruction and were able to easily park the car a few meters from the house.
* We were positively surprised by how beautiful and charming the property was, the decor, the ambiance, the cleanliness, everything was spot on!
* Besides their complimentary breakfast which was very generous and tasty, they offered afternoon snacks (cookies and fruits) & port wine (à gogo), talk about generous hospitality!
* As for our room, it was first set up with twin-beds, they were kind enough to offer to re-arrange the beds and bed covers to create a double-bed (at our convenience).
The room was just magical, modern yet very warm and inviting. The bed was super comfortable worthy of a 5-star luxury hotel, the soft high-thread count linen smelled heavenly. The towels, bathrobes were soft and of very high quality.
Our room had a mini fridge stacked with complimentary beverages, a Nespresso machine (and pods) and a kettle and a 50-inch smart TV!
* The property had a laundry room & locker room.
It had it all and much more!
