Hotel Sintra Jardim
Historic residence with a garden, pool, and views of the Moorish Castle
About this stay
Stepping into Hotel Sintra Jardim feels like entering a tranquil oasis, despite its proximity to Sintra's bustling centre. The 150-year-old residence exudes a quiet charm, with its garden providing a refreshing escape. Mornings here begin with breakfast in a dining room featuring cottage-style windows, offering a pleasant start to the day. Afterwards, guests can relax by the swimming pool, surrounded by lush greenery, or find a quiet spot to read. The hotel's spa offers a chance to unwind, and younger visitors have their own dedicated spaces. The views of the Moorish Castle from the garden add a touch of historical grandeur to the peaceful setting.

Our take
Hotel Sintra Jardim trades modern polish for character: a 150-year-old residence, a garden with a pool, views of the Moorish Castle and bathrooms with painted tiles in some rooms. I would choose it for families and couples who want to explore Sintra's palaces and return to a quiet garden. Travellers who need contemporary rooms and extensive services should look at a larger hotel.
- Take advantage of the garden and pool for a relaxing afternoon after visiting the palaces.
- Explore the unique, colourfully painted tile bathrooms in some rooms for a touch of local artistry.
- Walk into Sintra's centre for dinner; it's a pleasant 10-minute stroll from the hotel.

Why guests love itHotel Sintra Jardim is a 150-year-old residence set in a garden with a swimming pool and views of the Moorish Castle, and I find that mix rare for a two-star hotel in Sintra. Children can swim after a morning of palaces, while parents enjoy the castle on the ridge above. Rooms are simply decorated, some with colourful hand-painted tile bathrooms. There is also a spa. A 9 out of 10 score from 1,933 reviews shows guests value the character.
