We were treated like royalty! Due to the covid virus we had to leave Portugal 4 days early. They were so kind as to allow us to change our night of stay and because we had to leave for the airport at 2am we would miss the breakfast at the cafe so they packed sweet little to go boxes for us to take away. Wonderful and beautiful place to stay and the staff is incredibly thoughtful!
United StatesExcellent, informative, knowledgeable, helpful staff.
United KingdomThis chalet reflects perfectly how Sintra is. Charming, full with warm hearted helpful people, colorful, cozy, warm atmosphere... Everything smells soo good, especially the soap and the body lotion, both available in cute authentic bottles. Entering the building already feels absolutely calm and spending some time in the living room while drinking the free offered port wine - you will never want to go home again. (probably cause you'll feel yourself at home) Yes, true that one has to go out like 1 min walk to have breakfast but that Cafe Saudade is one to be discovered more. Warm hearted welcome, nice interior, great smells, pretty good coffee... Highly recommended!
HungaryBreakfast at affiliated restaurant was outstanding. Perfect location to walk in-out of main Sintra center. Steps from train station. Room was spectacular, rustic character, modern bathroom, shower. Beautiful lobby sitting room, sunny, views of the Sintra Palace, games, cards. Free port! Inexpensive drinks on honor-system. Staff was wonderful, friendly, helpful, went out of their way to make our stay exceptional. IMO the best place to be in Sintra!
United StatesBreakfast was a fixed set but had a good mix of items of very good quality. It is served in a cafe not far from the Chalet. The Chalet itself - the salons and the rooms - are tastefully decorated. Get a room with a view of the garden or the front yard. Staff were engaging and helpful.
SwitzerlandGreat location, lovely breakfast, comfortable bed, big cups for tea in the room, friendly helpful staff. Looking forward to staying again there is so much to see in Sintra. Highly recommend.
United KingdomThe easy friendly hospitality of all staff in the Chalet and cafe.
United KingdomEverything else! Superb breakfast at the Café Saudade each morning
United KingdomExcellent breakfast. Very comfortable room. Lovely atmosphere. Warm, welcoming and very helpful staff.
United KingdomThis is a very beautiful house with exquisite decoration located in quiet area, convenient location very close to the train station and 20 minutes walk to Regaleira. The staff are friendly and helpful, the Porto wine offered to guests for taste is really good. Breakfast is rich and quite delicious, fruits are also provided for nutrition. Bear in mind to pay for parking fee every four hours if you come with your car, cause you can only park by the side of road.

Host Information
Located in the center of Sintra but away from the touristic venues, Chalet Saudade´s architecture dates back to XIX century and offers scenic views of the surroundings.
In 2001 we drove by a quaint, beautiful, old rose colored chalet in Sintra with a «FOR SALE» sign hanging on a white door. Having searched for months for a home in Sintra, the locale of Luís’ dream place to live, we thought – why not look at this charming “fixer upper”? It was twilight as we entered the stunning rooms with painted high ceilings and as the remaining sunlight flowed through the winter veranda overlooking the lush green gardens, it was love at first sight. After a 5 year period of a total renovation of the property, our home is renewed and refurbished, all the while keeping true to the style and essence of this particular type of architecture.
With the Sintra Train Station and Bus Station 100 meters away, Chalet Saudade offers a privileged location for guests to explore the mystic places of Sintra and coastal and rural towns. It is a ten-minute walk to the old historic center, with the Pena National Palace 5 km away and the Medieval Moorish Castle is a 20-minute walk. There are also nice restaurants, cafés, and bars on our street to frequent and enjoy a wonderful meal.
