Quinta Das Murtas B&B

Lovely old fashioned premises perfectly situated in the Sintra area for walking to superb sights and castles. Good gardens with and small but enjoyable pool and a Jacuzzi. Breakfasts were good. , Poor air conditioning system in the annexe and none in the main building which caused serious problems for others in our party. Management / owners need to upgrade their facilities and awareness of customer needs

If you want to experience authentic Sintra holiday,- this is a place to stay. Beautiful property, nicely decorated. Both receptionists were very helpful and friendly. We had a lovely stay and enjoyed our holiday.

This is a wonderfully quirky hotel/bed and breakfast. The building is a large and impressive old house, built right on the edge of a rocky slope, with impressive gates and front door. You can park briefly in front to unload, but must park lower down the hill in the rather informal parking area reached through iron gates for which a code is needed. The lane to the hotel and on to the car park is narrow between stone walls, one way and steeply down hill with tight corners. We could not turn the car outside the hotel and had to reverse out, nor could we turn in to the car park and had to reverse in and turn inside. To bring the car back to the front door is a significant journey all the way down, round and up to the top, then down again. The interior is nicely and intriguingly decorated with original features, such as the original and ill-fitting shutters in our room, the balcony outside our room (which flooded in the rain, but did not flood the room), the parrots in a cage outside the conservatory used for breakfast and the birds painted on our bedroom ceiling. Breakfast is taken in half-hour shifts and is perfectly adequate, but you may have to wait for the next batch of scrambled egg, then compete for it before it runs out again. Occasionally the lady who organises breakfast will also provide an evening meal, which needs to be ordered and selected in advance and is served by her husband in the conservatory, and paid for in cash directly to her. There is no restaurant in the conventional sense. The managers could not have been more friendly and helpful, speaking good English. The staff also friendly and helpful, but needing to use the translation app on the phone to find out what we wanted. The historical centre is about 7 or 8 minutes downhill on foot (as is the train station in a different direction). We decided to return the hire car and rely on walking locally, tuc tucs and the train for Lisbon.

The location of this nothing short than amazing guesthouse, left me in awe! I have never in all my years of travel been so welcomed and accommodated by Romulo the manager. I rescued a cat on Azores and was carrying him around Sintra. I had several days before departing back to the USA. He did everything in his power to make things easier on us. He even gave Azores a cat brush from his cat “Sushi”. I will never forget his sincerity and helpfulness. The breakfast was absolutely incredible and the building had so much character. I hope to come back to Sintra again one day and revisit. Obrigado!!🙏🙏💕

The place is very nice, both the inside and the gaden. The place is clean and has good atmosphere. The room is very equiped. Romulo was very helpful. The breakfast was fine.
