Amazing place to stay once in Sintra. Location is perfect, really in the centre. You can feel there as at home. Everything met my expectations, I even got the room upgrade. Super thanks for the host! ….and this breakfast, you can not miss it. It was rich and fresh and delicious. Highly recommended!
EstoniaWe're Portuguese so we knew the location was as good as it gets in Sintra. Still, we were amazed by the beauty of the building and common spaces. The room and bed are super comfy and the hostess is a gem. If you get a chance to stay here, don't miss it!
PortugalThe location was perfect for exploring Sintra but was also quiet enough to be peaceful and restful. The suite was stunning throughout with beautiful views of the Royal Palace and the Moors Castle. The furnishings and decor were beautiful throughout the entire chalet and the bed was extremely comfortable with hand stitched sheets. The staff were lovely and welcoming without being intrusive. The breakfast was provided just around the corner at Cafe Saudade and was a magnificent spread of fruit, yoghurt, breads, meats, cheese, croissants and pastries, with freshly squeezed orange juice and hot drinks, we had to leave early on our final morning and the staff were very accommodating to our needs. Chalet Saudade made our stay in Sintra utterly magical and we left with lifelong memories of a wonderful honeymoon.
PortugalThis place is an absolute 10! It exceeded my expectations which were already pretty high. What a great hospitality combined with high aesthetics and caring for the customers with attention to detail! The rooms are super comfortable and lovely, the location is great and the tips and recommendations very much appreciated.
GreeceBeautiful little house in a great location, right in the heart of Sintra. Really close to everything and the staff was very helpful with giving directions, suggestions on where to go and what to do and even gave several recommendations on where to eat. We even got upgraded to a larger room with garden access which was very kind and appreciated! Breakfast, though a set menu, was tasty and fresh. The croissants, bread and pastel de nata were delicious, and the coffee was good and strong.
SwedenWe fell in love immediately. A sweet villa in vintage style with a lot of heart, where we would have loved to stay longer. Breakfast is served in the café belonging to the villa. Since we had to leave very early on the last day we were offered a lunch bag. We were given many valuable tips on how to get there, restaurants, sights, etc. After an eventful day in Sintra we could end the day with a glass of port wine in the winter garden. We will come back with pleasure!
GermanyHonestly we liked everything about this place. The hotel itself was so charming, with an extremely nice and helpful staff. The house itself is beautiful, and there is a backyard terrace that has amazing views. The only bad thing was that we only planned on staying here for one night. Would absolutely stay here again next time.
NetherlandsLocation was perfect, few great restaurants around, close to the train station. The view was also very impressive - from the terrace we had a view of the trees, while to the left the Sintra centre with astonishing buildings. Moreover we could also see the moorish castle from the terrace, which also was pretty cool. The interiors were lovely. The breakfast in the Cafe Saudade was nice and the rooms were comfortable.
PortugalEverything was amazing. The place is beautiful, the rooms are big and the beds super confortable and king size. In the area you found a lot of coffee and restaurants. Minutes walking from all the attractions there. WiFi works perfect.
GermanyBreakfast was serviced at a nearby restaurant that was just wonderful. I would recommend going a la carte, rather than having the fixed menu.

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.
