Casa Holstein Quinta de Sao Sebastiao Sintra

We had a very pleasant stay at Casa Holstein. The hotel is set in large, expansive grounds, with little hidden paths one can explore. There's even a beautiful peacock who wanders around. The hotel is contained in an old estate and has a bygone sense of charm. Our room was very large and comfortable. The bathrooms (we had two) were very spacious and well appointed. The shower was excellent. The host was very pleasant and available to help and answer questions. They served breakfast at the hotel. Highly recommend!

Arrived with my fiancé thrilled to finally see our wedding venue to find the beautiful gardens they advertised and sold to us for the backdrop of our wedding was completely removed without any prior notice, replaced with a barren landscape and black fence. The property is unkempt, broken rusted railings, dead decaying flowers, short staffed, paid outsider events supplement income which hotel guests have to pay to attend while losing access to hotel, weird owner of the property who intrudes on your stay (and cautioned us not to get married as he shared his divorce whoas), no chef - you'll find the hotel manager making your omelet while he avoids customer complaints. The property is outdated, molded showers, dilapidated and uncared for. They pocketed our deposit despite changing the complete facade of their hotel, are unresponsive and dismissive and it's simply not worth the time or money. Sintra is gorgeous and provides no shortage of hospitable, charming and memorable stays - Casa Holstein is a joke.

Very disappointing experience. Outdated rooms, poor landscaping of the property, difficult to find, no amenities and rude management. There is a strange owner that watches people from his estate window. CREEPY. Not sure why they post photo's of this property as listed when it looks like the images attached... If you have a reservation cancel while you can!!

I rated it a 3 because of the friendly staff and large room. The hotel was very hard to find by car, we were given written Instructions but a visual map would have been better. The room was large but noisy. Our room was Over the reception area and we could hear people coming in and out all day and each time the front door slammed our room shook. The stairs were noisy. The Sunday of our last day there was a party at the pool with very loud pulsating music all afternoon u til 9 PM which we could hear in our room all afternoon that prevented us from napping as we had wanted to. The breakfast buffet was nice. Staff again were very nice. But it was hard to get anyone on Sunday due to the party at the pool. The room was big with a sitting area. Light and airy and a nice view. Bed was comfortable. We had a car pickup at 7 am to take us to the airport. We had to carry our own bags to the car down stairs.. for the price we were charged we felt like we did not get the value. The staff was very helpful before we arrived in making dinner reservations

If you want to have the same feeling of living in a palace of Sintra this is your hotel. Near the center, with a nice parking. Great and tasty breakfast served on a nice balcony. Friendly and helpful service. The apar**ents are spread around a fresh and beautiful garden. The swimming pool was great in the hot days.

The property was beautiful, the food at the hotel was great and the staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating. The pool and gardens were another great bonus and the hotel location was perfect for walking around Sintra.

The perfect place to stay in Sintra! Free parking, amazing breakfast included, very clean, great location. Our room was comfy and cozy, with beautiful details. The grounds are beautiful and the location is perfect for walking to all of the attractions of Sintra. The staff was helpful.and friendly. If you're looking to stay in Sintra, look no further. Such a hidden gem.

Room with terrace was delightful Staff amazing Breakfast was the best breakfast in a long time Such a hidden gem of peace and tranquility in a busy yet stunning town Highly recommend. Sintra is such a special place and it was lovely to escape back here and recharge.

Lovely setting with great views from the gardens and the pool, and convenient location in between the train station and the centre of town. The room was a good size, and clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful and the continental-style breakfast was nice, with some of the small open-sandwich style choices particularly good. The coffee wasn't great though, as with the other hotels we stayed in in Portugal. The gardens were a little underused/unkept as it was off season but include a petanque and croquet area which might be nice during the summer. The (unheated) pool has a great view of the Sintra Palace and the Moorish Castle. The one remaining peacock is a good breakfast companion!
