Great location, clean and great service
This hotel is beautiful and the perfect location for exploring the Medina. It was clean and the service was superb. Our only complaint was the bed was very hard but maybe some people would appreciate that.

This is a truly unique boutique hotel. The staff are lovely and the beds and showers get 10/10. The location is fabulous, and so is the building. But the thoughtful and quirky touches that make it a home from home are what really gives it the edge.
Sintra is a beautiful town to visit, this Chalet made it even more memorable. I wish there were more (affordable) unique places like this in the world.
Don’t stay anywhere else if you visit Sintra.

Chalet Suadade is the perfect spot from which to explore lovely Sintra. It's a easy one block walk from the train station, about a block to the public bus stop, an easy spot for Uber/Bolt drivers to pick-up/drop off and within walking distance of multiple sights & restaurants. Our room was comfortable, quiet and had everything we needed. Most importantly, the staff was extremely helpful with recommendations and tips and easily accomodated both an early check-in and a request to leave our (bulky) luggage behind as we explored the sites. We stayed one night -- wish we would have stayed two to fully enjoy the comfortable and cozy common spaces and to spend a bit more time exploring, especially the surrounding neighborhood. Sintra is a special place and really deserves more time. Chalet Saudade is a easy spot to just relax and enjoy. Book it!

The most beautiful hotel with the friendliest and most knowledgeable staff. We loved our family room(s) and the balcony and views were incredible!! The only suggestion we would add is to install some more table and bedside lamps as it was either main lights on or darkness. Parents with children who sleep earlier love to have a little light to themselves. Gorgeous property overall and well appointed. Would definitely stay here again!
