    Beautiful apartment in an old quinta. Magical atmosphere - there were azulejos in the room! Everything was clean and the host very nice. A tea kettle and a coffee maker. And Netflix! The old town is either 40 mins walk, mostly up the hill, or 7...

    The owners personal service was lovely, the ambience and the size of the rooms and waking up to the farm animals was just fabulous. It is close enough to Sintra for an active couple to make a short uphill walk via a small Camino and not be caught...

Quinta de São Tadeu is a family house whose recovery project and opening to the public arises from my passion for hostelry, the service and the will and desire to make each and every of our clients feeling as they were at home. I work with the commitment that each guest that visits or chooses us for an event, or to share a special moment, feels like one more friend, feels like someone important for this project and this is what makes me believe that although it can seem very difficult, dreams come true. I love the countryside, decor, painting and winter in Sintra. The smell of wet grass, cottage chimneys, read, travel, the ocean. I am passionate about people, long talks, family, friends. Marvelous Colares red wine, cheese, baked cod, seafood rice, chocolate and of course, a Sintra must, travesseiros and queijadinhas, My passion for music comes from my grandmother, and exquisite pianist, the best for me...her piano.
