I booked the hotel back in December for a wedding this weekend (august 2008). Having arrived late Friday afternoon we were told that they did not have our booking. There was a party of 8 of us staying at the hotel and they only managed to secure one of the bookings so unfortunately our first impression was not that good.... more

We were married on a Saturday morning in the US. By Monday morning (very early -- 7:00a.m.) we arrived at the Quinta da Capela. We knew we were very early to check in so we sat in our car to wait for a more appropriate time to wake the management of the quinta. Exhausted from wedding hoopla and "across the... more

The area around Sintra is Portugal’s lush quadrant between Lisbon and the Atlantic coast, and Quinta da Capela is an excellent hideaway smack in the center of this natural playground peppered with palaces, gardens, and a Moorish castle. An unassuming inn that has the feel of a manor-house, Quinta da Capela is situated amongst dense and varied vegetation naturally laid... more

*The only drawbacks were a slightly weak shower and a lengthy walk to Sintra town (latter is not a problem if coming by car). *The house was beautifully set and tastefully furnished, breakfast was perfect! *Loved that it was a really "feel at home place" with a "honesty bar" that you can help yourself at anytime and a big library... more

This small former manor house is a real gem. Nine rooms in a restored farm house (2 of the rooms are below th main house offering even more privacy & self catering facilities with private outdoor lounge areas) Very friendly staff gave great recommendations for dining and driving in the Sintra area. Breakfasts are included but could be better --... more

We loved the Quinta da Capela. This manor home is spectaculor, beautifully decorated and the setting is magnificent. The owners are very nice and informative. We can't say enough about this place. Sintra is a magical place and staying here was the right decision. We can't wait to return. more

We had heard about the Quinta da Capela online and it sounded wonderful. When we finally arrived, after being lost most of the day, the staff was cordial but not overly solicitious. We had booked 6 months prior to our arrival and had anticipated getting the beautiful room they showed in their website. We were led down the stairs to... more

I have been meaning to write about this charming Inn since we returned from Portugal. It would be a shame to go to Sintra and miss staying here. But I would echo previous reviewers sentiments regarding the charming rooms/vistas and the lovely relaxing garden. From our attractive comfortable (never did find a soft bed in Portugal or Spain unless staying... more

This place is simply magical - a perfect antedote to the stresses of modern life. Set in a lush green valley in Sintra, every window of the old manor house has stunning views; distant domes and palaces (illuminated at night), beautifully manicured gardens and patios filled with exotic plants. The interior is spectacular too, with all the rooms tastefully decorated... more

I felt in love 25 years ago. and I came back every year. Quinta da Capela is my loving place, my relaxing space, whenever I want. In all this years I took the best of my friends and lovers to Sintra, to Quinta da Capela. I know every room in the house, everly little walk through the gardens down to... more
