Fantastic hotels in Sintra, Portugal
A UNESCO World Heritage Site of unparalleled beauty, fairytale landscapes of hills and magical castles, Moorish ruins and woodland walks, steeped in history and appreciated by such luminaries as Luís de Camões and Lord Byron; this is Sintra!
For generations, the Portuguese Royal Court (and everybody who was ‘somebody’) retreated to Sintra’s cool hills to escape the hot Lisbon summers, leaving after them more than their fair share of castles, palaces and notable buildings.
It’s not just the dramatic architecture that gives this place its well-deserved accolades but also its location; set 18kms inland and not much further to
Lisbon this is the ideal location to find a hotel from which to explore the capital and the stunning coastlines, right out to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe. Sintra is certainly one of Europe’s ‘must-see’ destinations.
