Hotel Quinta de São Thiago (Sintra, Portugal)

About Quinta de São Thiago

Quinta de São Thiago sits elegantly and majestically on the lower slopes of Sintra hills. Through the centuries, Sintra (beloved of artists and writers) has been the home of Royalty and aristocracy. Covered with magnificent trees and gardens, it is lapped by the sea and there are many beaches within easy reach. The lighthouse of Cabo da Roca with its dramatic cliffs marks the most western point of Europe. Secluded in its own private grounds, with huge eucalyptus and umbrella pine trees, Quinta de São Thiago is conveniently situated near many celebrated monuments, palaces, the Mourish and Pena Castles, etc. Commanding lovely views and all-day-long sunshine, this early XVI century house was once inhabited by monks. Modernized a few years ago, it keeps its original character. With chapel, old tiles, antiques, well-stocked library... São Thiago has its own large swimming pool, tennis court, with riding and golf courses nearby. Excursions can be made to sights of interest in the surrounding area. Sintra is two miles away, Estoril is nine miles and Lisbon airport is less than one hour driving. A private home atmosphere where guests are considered and treated as friends, not just clients.
