Charming setting, very clean, especially for older Victorian-style decor. Comfortable bed. Very pleasant airy sitting room to take complimentary port. Attentive and kind reception, and included breakfast at nearby cafe is excellent. Perfect location for walking from train station and then up to old town and Royal Palace.

Such a cute place to stay. Our check in was fabulous with front desk staff being so friendly. Easy and convenient to walk to many local wine bars and restaurants. Train station just 2 min walk away. The breakfast was amazing and too much food we asked for half the next day! Beds were comfortable. Shower was a little small if you are a bigger person. Would Recommend.

Gracious hosts, comfortable, and charming.

Warm, accommodating, comfortable, convenient. This chalet, its hosts and owners, are welcoming and so kind. We were there during the infamous power outage, and it felt as if we were with family. Also, the setting is magical, the rooms are comfortable, and the location is excellent for exploring. If we ever return to Sintra, a stay at Chalet Saudade is an absolute given. Oh! One more thing: The breakfast at the cafe was absolutely amazing.
