Beautiful property and lovely accommodations. Super close to restaurants and cafes. Highly recommend Cantinho de Sao Pedro. Excellent traditional Portuguese food for reasonable prices. Communication at the villas was excellent, however we were never told how to book breakfast so if you’re interested in that, I suggest asking ahead of time. We had a two bedroom Villa for 6. Space was tight but we were only there to sleep. Would definitely recommend these accommodations!

Beautiful rooms in central Sintra; quite peaceful with nice garden, pond and outdoor seating to relax in the evening. Rooms have lots of kitchen amenities fridge, microwave, coffee maker. Lots of free parking at park across from apartment. walkable to palaces but it's all up hill and takes 35 - 45 min with kids family. Book Uber to palaces early since it takes long to find driver and 20-30 mins in traffic.

The staff was amazingly welcoming and helpful. Parking was easy and plentiful directly across a small street- we had no problem taking our luggage into the property. This location really provided a magical experience with a beautiful garden which had décor from across the world. Even a koi pond and turtles. There were multiple places to enjoy the outdoor seating. the room was a very nice mix of an historical wall with new amenities. Very clean. We loved the room keys! Breakfast was exceptionally good with a variety of items to choose from.

The property inside was cozy and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was delicious and they accommodated our early departure times to get to castles by delivering breakfast early. The staff were fantastic and extremely friendly! The outside and area was not as nice, but that is how Sintra looks overall. The location was safe and pretty convenient as far as Sintra goes. Sintra is an odd place with a lot of rain and almost non existent sidewalks. Outside of the castles, it is not as nice. We enjoyed our stay inside Storytellers and would stay again in this property, but we’d would not stay again in Sintra.

Cute boutique hotel. They were working on restoring hot water when I arrived, at 9pm there was loud drilling just outside my villa. After that, staff was nowhere to be found for the next two days - although their mobile no. is left in the room. Breakfast room was dead in the morning. Left the keys inside the room when I left, since there was noone to leave it with.
