Isabel Dream II, 300m from the train
A two-bedroom apartment steps from Mem Martins station
About this stay
Isabel Dream II occupies a residential building 300 metres from Mem Martins station, close enough that the walk with luggage takes a few minutes rather than fifteen. The apartment runs two bedrooms and a living room around a fully equipped kitchen, useful for a family or a pair of travellers cooking through a longer stay rather than eating out nightly. A balcony looks out over the surrounding city, and a washing machine handles laundry mid-stay without a trip to a launderette. Check-in and check-out are private and self-managed, with the host reachable in advance to confirm arrival timing rather than a staffed front desk on site. A minimarket nearby covers breakfast basics and top-up groceries, and the apartment sits within the same short radius of Sintra's palaces and Cascais Municipal Aerodrome as the parish's other stays, roughly six and ten kilometres respectively.
- Two-bedroom apartment
- Full kitchen
- Washing machine
- Balcony with city views
Our take
This suits a family or two travellers who want space and a kitchen over a hotel room, and who are comfortable managing their own check-in without a front desk. The two-bedroom layout and washing machine make it a stronger fit for a stay of several nights than a single overnight, when the extra space and laundry access pay off. Travellers wanting a staffed hotel experience, or a walk to Sintra's sights rather than a short train ride, should look elsewhere in the parish or closer to the historic centre itself.
- Confirm your arrival time with the host ahead of check-in, since there is no staffed front desk to greet late or early arrivals.
- Shop at the minimarket near the station on arrival day before it closes, rather than after a full day out sightseeing.
- Use the balcony for morning coffee before the short walk to Mem Martins station for a Sintra or Lisbon day trip.
Why we love it
- Two full bedrooms and a living room, not a single hotel room
- A fully equipped kitchen for cooking through a longer stay
- A washing machine on site, useful for a week or more
- 300 metres from Mem Martins station on the Sintra line
Why guests love itIsabel Dream II is a two-bedroom, self-catering apartment 300 metres from Mem Martins station, with a full kitchen, a washing machine and a balcony over the town. The second bedroom and the laundry make a week with children easier, and trains reach Sintra and Lisbon without a car. A minimarket nearby covers the basics. It has only 5 reviews so far, rated 8.6 out of 10. I would choose it as a practical family base for covering both Sintra and Lisbon.
