3-Star Hotels in Sao Martinho

My wife and I stayed for three nights at the start of March and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is great: easy to find and a 3-minute walk from the main square in the historic centre but nonetheless in a very quiet area. We booked the ‘suite with private terrace and balcony’ which was huge and exactly as pictured on the website, clean and bright with lovely large windows and patio doors. Because the house sits on a hill, the room was at ground level at the front but at first floor level at the rear and it was reassuring that, I assume for security reasons, the windows accessible from the street could not be opened. The room had a large TV with Netflix available. Water pressure in the bathroom was very good and lovely soap, shampoo and conditioner were provided. (The only watch out is the water pressure can easily blow out the shower curtain, so water ends up on the bathroom floor. Still, you only make that mistake once.) The breakfast was buffet style and taken in the kitchen or the room next to it and it does feel like you’re in a family house. The food was lovely, with hot scrambled eggs, beans and sausages, along with coffee, juice, toast and pastries, cereals etc. available. They also make snacks, wine and beer available in the kitchen overnight and operate this on an honesty-book basis. This is really convenient if you’re really tired after a day of sightseeing. The host Karen was really welcoming, friendly and helpful, as was her assistant Bianca (who we saw most of as she seemed to be receptionist, housekeeper, chef, waitress etc, all rolled into one!) This is a guest house rather than a hotel so bear that in mind for the level of services - there’s no 24 reception for example. However Karen is accessible by WhatsApp and she replied quickly when we had a question about car parking on Saturday evening. We arrived by train (less than an hour from central Lisbon and dirt cheap - about €3) and the walk from the station is easy along pleasant roads and takes about 15 minutes. We got a hire car part way through our stay and used the car parking token (payable) from the guest house for parking in the Old Town. Even though visiting in low season, we were very lucky to find a space so plan carefully if you are intending to drive to the historic centre of Sintra. It’s also worth noting that Sintra has its own microclimate with relatively high humidity which means it can feel quite damp and there is often a lot of cloud and mist, even in summer. (Anyone with a respiratory condition might want to do some research.) Given the time of year we visited, this meant our room felt quite cold whenever we arrived but the air con unit was effective and warmed it up very quickly. Also, even though there is modern double glazing, there can still be some condensation on the windows in the morning so don’t leave things on the windowsill overnight as they could get damp. All in all, we had a lovely stay in the town of Sintra and in Sintra 1012, a

More like a weekend holiday place, sit on the terrace for breakfast, facing the rolling hills, overlooking several of Sintra's main palaces and manors. The breakfast is rich, especially the bread is still hot, the taste is excellent, it is said to be ordered from the country workshops. 10 minutes walk from the center, the recommended restaurant is great. There is free parking. The city of Portugal seems to be not easy to drive in the city, climb and descend, drive by car parked in the hotel can walk or Uber to attractions and restaurants. Hotel service is also patient and provides the help you need. If summer can also swim in beautiful outdoors.

This is a perfect little spot for being a few blocks to the center of Sintra, yet a little off as to not get all the noise. The hostess here, Dulce, is a very kind, caring woman. My phone fell into the sink and stopped working. I travel alone and had no information to my next place. Dulce took the time to sit with me, let me use her personal phone and assured me that everything would be okay. She did absolutely everything she could for me. This is the place you want to stay if you are traveling alone and need assistance within daytime hours. Not sure about night but I am confident they would help within their capability. Please note, the houses are very old and you can hear the people above you. There was an elephant staying above me so, PLEASE be aware of the people below when you walk across the room. Or ask for a top floor ~ all stairs. I also wish there was a small fridge in the room. Overall, an excellent place to stay with caring people there to welcome you and bid you farewell. I would highly recommend staying here if not having a fridge isn't an issue.

We stayed here 2 nights and everything was fine except for having a toilet in the bedroom. Especially one with only slightly frosted glass doors and without any kind of extractor fan. I’m quite liberal but I do prefer to do my business in private and the room can potentially smells so this was a definite disadvantage. And hence 1 star less. That aside, the breakfast was good, there is free cake and coffee downstairs but beware no alcoholic drinks in the bedroom. This B&B has a lovely court garden and is very central. Note the bell is off to the right outside (we arrived and tried the keypad on the left so it’s slightly confusing).

La camera è in realtà un grazioso mini appartamento con camera, bagno e cucina con buoni spazi a disposizione. Avrebbe bisogno di qualche lavoretto di manutenzione (la porta della doccia non chiude bene, pareti un po' rovinate, filtro del bagno cieco non pulito...) La pulizia generale è buona, peccato solo per il pesante odore di fritto presente all'interno (non abbiamo capito se qualcuno avesse cucinato o se veniva dell'esterno, pur tenendo aperte le finestre non è andato via). La host ci ha accolti con molta gentilezza parlando bene in inglese. La posizione è molto comoda per raggiungere la zona centrale a piedi ma è assolutamente sconsigliato arrivarci in auto. Pochi giorni prima dell'arrivo abbiamo ricevuto una mail da LovelyStay.com che ci informava che il centro storico è interdetto alle auto dei turisti e ci suggeriva una via vicina dove parcheggiare. La via in questione è stretta e con pochissimi parcheggi a bordo strada e impostandola sul navigatore non si trova. Dopo oltre 3 ore alla ricerca di un parcheggio con code chilometriche abbiamo lasciato l'auto in stazione e pagato un taxi per arrivare alla struttura (c'è anche l'autobus che arriva nella piazzetta principale). Ovviamente il traffico congestionato non è colpa di chi gestisce la struttura ma ritengo che sia necessario informare meglio chi la deve raggiungere per evitare disagi. Pur essendo partiti con ampio anticipo da Lisbona abbiamo mancato l'ingresso a Quinta de Regaleira, che purtroppo non siamo riusciti a vedere, perdendo anche i soldi del biglietto per 2 persone.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Casas de Biquinhas in Sintra. Not only was the 2 bedroom apartment clean and comfortable, but the property manager responded quickly and thoroughly to our enquries in English! Our beds were comfortable too. Shower pressure excellent. Spacious showers. No bathtub. While the apartment entrance, floors, windows, and kitchen were dated, it was clean and well furnished. We used the dishwasher and supplied detergent. The gas stove worked well. Frying pans look new. Satellite TV worked very well. Instructions provided very much helped for stove, TV, and dishwasher. Everything worked as expected. Finding and unlocking the safe and check in went smoothly. Bonus was early check-in for apartment! Much appteciated! Oh and the views of the historic municipal hall tower from the 2 bedrooms and kitchen were impressive. Estrada Macieira 6 was address. Oh and there was a private deck with table and 6 chairs. Overall a 5 star experience that exceeded our expectations. Thank you Casas de Biquinhas! This 2 bedroom apartment was more comfyable than similar and slightly more expensive apartments in Lisbon, Porto, Manteigas, and Lagos. To access the apartment one needs to descend about 12 outside stairs. We would definitely return the next time we are in the Lisbon area. Trains are frequent and cheap between Lisbon and Sintra.
