Casa da Estefânea stands out among the best boutique hotels in Sintra for one simple reason: it does everything right. This building was once a private residence from the early 20th century. Its careful renovation preserved the structure’s architectural charm while giving it a refreshed, contemporary look. The decor is tasteful and relaxed, with warm colors and thoughtful touches throughout. They also offer complimentary evening snacks, chilled beers, and glasses of delicious port, just what you need after a day of walking.
The staff is quick to offer walking tips and restaurant recommendations, so you’ll get the best out of Sintra without the usual crowds.
For breakfast expect a generous buffet with local pastries, eggs, fruit, cheeses, and fresh coffee that’s actually good. The space is bright and welcoming, and it feels more like staying in a well-designed home than a hotel.
