Excellent choice - location and Value

Great location and very nice rooms. The hotel is very close to restaurants, shops, and attractions. The staff was very accommodating and spoke excellent English for those like me with limited Portuguese language skills. We were able to be dropped off and picked up at the door from our taxi.

This was one of our favorite stays in Portugal. The Inn is beautiful and clean. The staff is outstanding and the breakfast delicious. We loved that it was just short walk to the best sites and down into the town. We were so glad we spent the night rather than a day trip. It was quiet at night but we loved that! The train ride from Lisbon could not have been easier and it was a quick uber ride from the train to the Inn. We would definitely stay again.

In order to get a fulfilling experience from Sintra, I highly recommend staying at Bella Vista. This place is truly worthy of 5 stars from the location, spectacular view, contemporary appearance, comfy bed, large window doors, clean bathroom and a delightful breakfast. The staff was so helpful and accommodating to us from day one till the last day when we were having difficulties with our transportation. My wife and I want to plan a return trip to Sintra just to stay at Bella Vista. The only negative from our stay was that we were only there for 3 nights. Magnusen Family

We stayed 4 nights at Villa Bela Vista and found the hotel luxurious, comfortable, and clean. The staff was very friendly and cooperative. The breakfast was elegant, delicious, and served in a wonderful dining area with a beautiful new of the valley. It feels like a very well appointed home with a great service. We recommend this hotel to those who travel to Sintra. Sintra is not very car-friemdly and if you can avoid driving, it will be more practical and comfortable. Uber is easily available if you need a car although you will end up walking to most places.

The property is beautiful and beautifully decorated, and our room was spacious and very comfortable. Our suite included a mini-kitchen area with a refrigerator, microwave and dishes and utensils, together with a small fold-out table and chairs which came in handy for storing food for our departure before the breakfast hour started. The breakfast was outstanding so we were sad to miss it on our last morning, and the property manager was very pleasant and provided lots of recommendations of restaurants and things to do and see. I highly recommend Villa Bela Vista. Its one drawback is that it is a little difficult to reach from the town, due to Sintra's system of one-way streets. It was about a 7 euro cab ride from the train station. When leaving, we rolled our suitcases down pedestrian streets to the main square in the old town and were able to catch a taxi there. We didn't have a car for which we were grateful: traffic is heavy and I don't know if the Villa has any parking available.

Beautiful property near the heart of Sintra. Great

Beautiful property with fantastic views of Sintra. Newly renovated and appointed. Our bed was very comfortable. The room was fantastic, replete with tall windows and shutters, a marble bathroom with a stunning tub and shower. Located just a few minutes walk from center city Sintra where there are bare, restaurants, and shops galore. The only issue is getting into the hotel. The street be is busy in front of the hotel door. If you have a lot of luggage or bags, you’ll have to carefully manage getting them across the street from the parking area. And you have to be very careful not to miss the hotel as you drive the loop to Sintra’s most popular historical sites — the Moorish castle and the National Palace.
