Blending old world charm with modern elegance, Quinta Velha is completely enveloped by the Sintra Mountains but also just 1.6km from the village and 10 minutes’ walk from the Pena Palace. Situated in two hectares of private lush forest, a stay at our House means plenty of space for our guests to explore and immerse themselves in the magical beauty that is Sintra. An oasis for inspiration. Quinta Velha has held onto its unique history by staying true to as much of the original architectural structure while also adding modern comforts on its latest renovation in 2019. With twelve bedrooms, each room is adorned with antique Portuguese style furniture and sleek contemporary lines. Featuring a lounge with fireplace, a library and a dining room where guests can enjoy a small exquisite breakfast with fresh fruit, several types of bread, homemade jams, tea or coffee and homemade pastries. A wonderful home-made dinner can be served everyday upon request. Guests can also choose to explore the surroundings in our electric bikes.

We love nature, history, discovery, adventure, ecology, happiness, travel, the art of hosting..
