Summary: We loved how private and beautiful the property is! We loved having dinners outside with our 2 families and watching the sun set. We also speedier having plenty of room to spread out.

Summary: Tucked in the Sintra hills, this quinta is perfect for those who want a quiet getaway close to Sintra and especially those who like to hike around the area. Ana and Diogo were great hosts and chefs. Highly recommend at least one dinner at the Quinta by them! Thank you.
Sherri K. Apr 13, 2023 12:45:30 AM
Summary: The pictures can't capture how beautiful this place is. The property manager and the housekeeper were wonderful, too. Our whole family would highly recommend this property!!

Summary: Our group of 3 couples celebrating turning 60 had a wonderful 5 night stay. The property has a beautiful view, lush grounds, and well appointed bedrooms and common rooms. We had dinner prepared on 3 nights by Diogo, the house manager/chef, which allowed us to fully enjoy a cocktail hour sunset from the upstairs patio followed by dinner in the dining room. Overall, a five star experience.
Charmaine S. Apr 30, 2022 06:02:41 AM
Summary: This place is amazing. Very beautiful and special. Ana, the caretaker, anticipates what you need somehow, with minimal English, through her translation software.

Summary: The villa is very beautiful and being run by the lovely Anna and Diogo. It’s a bit out of the way and getting a transportation in Sintra can be tricky, but otherwise it’s an amazing place. Highly recommend.

Summary: We had an amazing stay in an amazing house with gorgeous surroundings. The house is spaceous and full of interesting details. Kitchen is modern. Everything is very well kept. Spend the day in the pool, or on the terrace overlooking the Atlantic ocean. It just doesn't get any better than this, if you are looking for a relaxing holiday. This place really treats all your senses! If there will be a future opportunity, we will be returning guests for sure.

Summary: Fabulous Quinta in the countryside. Beautiful and historic property with gorgeous gardens. Working with the owner and his local English-speaking agent was very easy; they were incredibly accommodating, helpful, and responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Summary: Quinta de Sao Bento is even more wonderful than the on-line photos indicate, which as experienced travelers know, is often the opposite! The house, grounds and gracious staff all exceeded our expectations. Our family ranged from 11 months to over 70 and all of us had plenty of space, two lovely terraces, a spacious kitchen, a wonderful library, a spacious drawing room, and a beautiful garden and pool. A quiet retreat from Sintra's busy scene.. What a special find. Obrigado!

Summary: Our group of eight from the U.S., stayed for two weeks at Quinta Sao Bento. It exceeded all of my expectations. The Quinta is tranquil, on beautiful grounds and yet close to everything in Sintra. Even with a large group there was plenty of space. The layout makes it such that everyone has privacy and their own bath and plenty of common areas. We especially enjoyed the upstairs living room with its fireplace and balcony overlooking the valley, the sea and Monserrate, with its majestic dome lit up at night. It felt like a fairy tale. We also had several dinners in the formal dining room with its coved brick ceiling. The 500 year old chapel was a marvel. I'm grateful for the staff allowing us inside to experience its frescoed ceiling and tiled altar. Coming from such a younger country, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience living in the midst of history and natural beauty. What we experienced was taking a step back in time while still having all the modern conveniences. The ten acres of grounds and fruit trees were a welcome respite to our long days of sightseeing. We were 15 minutes from the beaches and took in many a sunset at Praia Grande watching the waves. Ana was an excellent housekeeper and treated us so well during our stay. And Jonathan also put us in touch with Sofia Quintana who helped us arrange tours and oh so many other things including a cake for my 50th birthday and a trip to the dentist for my husband when he broke a tooth. She is a treasure and we wouldn't have had such a wonderful experience without her help. I can't rave enough about the beauty of this place and the impact it had on our journey. It was a beautiful sanctuary. If you are coming for the first time I recommend arriving during the day or following someone to the house. The roads nearby are narrow and there is a narrow dirt road leading to the Quinta which can be hard to spot at first. You should make sure you have a rental car or be prepared to take a lot of taxis. But it is worth it!
