The room was very clean and obviously recently renovated, the location is just opposite the station, no need to walk far with your luggage. There could be a bigger table and a more spacious wardrobe in the room, and some additional shelves in the bathroom, somehow we couldn't find enough space for our things. What really spoiled our stay was... More

I have mixed feelings with that place. From one hand it is located well (near rail station) and you can reach everything by walking (including national palace), owners are nice and very helpful, rooms are clean and the place has its charm. On the other hand room we got on the 2nd floor was very little, the bathroom though was... More

Hotel is located directly opposite railway. Looks like a house converted to a Hotel. No parking at Hotel, but available about 120 metres. We had a room on the 1st floor, which made it very difficult to gets luggage to room as the stairway is very narrow. Noise from entire Hotel travels up the stairs. We could clearly hear all... More

Conveniently right by train and bus station but their schedules means noise is not an issue. Nice down comforter on a comfy bed on a chilly night. Had an interesting chat with the owner about changes in Portugal since her childhood. We want to take her home with us. She had great recommendations for meals.

I found this place after searching TripAdvisor. The reviews are absolutely true! We left Lisbon at 8am and went to Sintra by train. Monte da Lua is located just across the train station and as someone had already pointed here on TripAdvisor, there is NO noise from the station. In fact, you don't notice you are in front of the...

Great location, just in front of the train station (and no, the trains don't wake you up in the morning). You come out of the guesthouse and turn left to go to the new town or right to go to the old town of Sintra, both of which are 5 minutes away by foot. The staff are friendly and competent,... More

This was one of our favorite accommodations during our 2 weeks in Spain and Portugal. Monte da Lua was a simple, sweet little guesthouse situated in the middle of one of two commercial districts in Sintra. It is located in the less touristy of the two, and is directly across from the train station (30 minutes to Lisbon). It is... More

We had a great stay in this pensao, unfortunately, it was just for one night. After visiting a few other pensaos in the area we decided on Monte Da Lua because the owner was so friendly and the rooms were definitely the prettiest in town (at least within our budget). The owner went out of her way to make us... More

Whether you are traveling with family, on business, or with your partner, you'll find whatever it is you're looking for here - whimsy, fun, inspiration and romance are here at the Monte Da Lua. My boyfriend and I enjoyed a two evening stay and our only regret was not staying longer. It is conveniently located walking distance to the train... More
