Our take
Views of the Moorish Castle and Pena Palace set Valverde Sintra Palácio de Seteais apart, a 5-star palace hotel rated 9.0 across 368 reviews. I would recommend it to couples on a special trip and to families who want a pool and a spa between visits to Sintra's palaces and gardens. Guests who prefer minimalist design may find the richly decorated rooms too classic.
- Explore the hotel's historic grounds and gardens; they are as impressive as the interior.
- Take advantage of the spa facilities for a truly relaxing and indulgent experience.
- Request a room with castle views to fully appreciate the hotel's unique location.

Why guests love itA pool and views of Pena Palace and the Moorish Castle are what I would point out first to families at Valverde Sintra Palácio de Seteais: children can see the day's sights from the hotel. Rooms are richly decorated and air-conditioned, with a minibar, satellite TV and a Nespresso machine, and many have scenic views. The spa lets parents take a quiet hour in turn, and the hotel offers family-friendly amenities. Expect a formal palace setting rather than a playful one.
