to get started.

The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was fabulous with ample options. My husband especially loved the daily cake. The accommodations are close to several wonderful restaurants and not far from public transportation.

A, USA

Beautiful room, spacious and sparkling clean. Delicious breakfast and friendly and helpful hosts. Best place we’ve stayed in Portugal.

Cheryl, Australia

Excellent location, super cute and comfortable and Sofia was incredibly welcoming and helpful. Lovely breakfast too!

Lisa, Australia

Everything was exceptional during our stay. The staff and owner made our stay memorable as they were ready to help with everything. the room was spacious and very clean. The bed very comfortable and the view from the balcony stunning. Would definitely recommend it to my friends.

Katerina, Sweden

We absolutely adored Aguamel- while many things about it were lovely it was the hospitality of the staff that was really incomparable. Sofia greeted us upon our (early) arrival and made sure we were put into a room. She offered refreshments and cake and with advice on what to do in town and how to get around. That evening she spent time chatting with us to answer our questions about the town and provide restaurant recommendations. The morning of our departure we were heading out early to catch a train and the gentleman downstairs was going out of his way to make sure we grabbed food on the way out the door. We felt so taken care of and at home. This was our favorite accommodation during our time in Portugal.

Kinsy, Mozambique

The location is great as it is at the top of the village and I liked this area best. There is a nightly noise of people near the hotel if you have your windows open. Completely silent if you close the windows. But you should bring earplugs just in case. I was in the Orange Blossom room and it was magnificent. Been traveling almost a month and it’s one of my favorite rooms so far. Amazing breakfast. Stayed 3 nights.

Deborah, USA

Very kind to offer us breakfast even checking out at 6 am!

Carlo, Italy

From the host, to the location and breakfast in the morning- everything was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay in Sintra. Close to all the main attractions, across the road a lovely tapas restaurant and also right by the little town with all the shops. The owner was exceptional - very friendly and helpful, he also made a lovely cake for the guests to enjoy!

The host was extremely friendly and helpful. I was having some slight problems with my train ticket to Faro from Sintra and he offered to call the ticket office for me, on top of that he also offered to go down to the train station with me in case of the language barrier. The place is extremely clean and quaint, the staff are also very friendly and kind. They gave me a tour of the guesthouse and a slight description of the main local attractions from the guesthouse with recommendations for dinner just across the guesthouse (1min away). I had to check out very early the second day to catch my train and they even took the effort to prepare breakfast for me in a cute little tray. Would definitely recommend this guesthouse for a pleasant and fuss free stay! The host and his staff will definitely make your stay a great and worries free one!

“Excellent location to explore the local area and even for a trip in to Lisbon”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 5 nights
The breakfast was an excellent buffet, everything was very fresh. A wide selection of fruits, meats, breads, homemade cake, juices and coffee. There was an "honor" fridge in the kitchen with wines, beer, snacks. Our hostess and host were very helpful with suggestions of things to do and places to eat. The location is perfect, on the edge of the center of Sintra. Parking was a bit of a challenge, but it was free, street side parking just before you get there, you don't want to overshoot because at times the return loop could take about 30 minutes! So grab the first space you see and then move the car later in the evening after all the tourists have gone home. Plenty of restaurants, a laundromat nearby (if you are carry-on travelers), quiet at night even with the windows open.
