Sintra, Portugal

*

Nestling in a majestic place, Casa da Confraria offers you a peaceful and private setting in the heart of Portugal's enchanting Sintra region. The recently refurbished manor house, thirty minutes from Lisbon airport, is situated in one of Portugal's most treasured areas, with magnificent views of the surrounding mountains, the village, and the distant coastline. The picturesque old town of Sintra, with its 18th-century pastel-hued palatial facades, is only five minutes distant, and within another fifteen minutes you enter the colorful, bustling seaside towns of Estoril and Cascais, with their lovely vistas and beaches.

The Casa’s two houses are individually and tastefully furnished in period antiques. The sitting room and the traditional dining room give Casa da Confraria a warmth and home-like atmosphere that is rare among luxury guesthouses of its type. The terraced gardens are perfect for a quiet and relaxing visit.

The House is located in the most elevated area of the town. It is surrounded by the large estates. Sintra train station is about 1 mile away. The train is scheduled every fifteen minutes and it takes about thirty minutes to get to Lisbon. The distance to the coast and the town of Cascais with several beautiful beaches is about 5 miles. The Lisbon Airport is located eighteen miles from Sintra. Casino Estoril, the largest in Europe, is only about ten minutes by car.
