Really good Stay with Amazing Views

I enjoyed the hotel's location directly on the cliffside. The views of the two beaches from the hotel rooms were a highlight for me. Breakfast was comprehensive, with a wide range of quality products (especially the fresh pastries).

The hotel features a Michelin-starred restaurant. It also offers a casual dining option named 'The Spot' with a bar. Both dining venues provide distinctive culinary experiences.

My room included an enclosed balcony. It overlooked the sea, providing unique views (I really enjoyed watching the kite surfers). The bathroom looked recently updated.

The hotel is set away from the main bustling area. This ensures a quiet and calm atmosphere. Sintra is easily accessible via Uber or Bolt from this location.
