Find the Cheap Praia das Macas Hotels

Lovely staff, lovely included breakfast, but the room was just too noisy. Maybe it was because we were at the front of the hotel, overlooking the ocean and 'apple' beach? Also overlooking the main road. Saturday night we had dance music till 2am from the club next door. Sunday was laughing and shouting and then the street cleaning machines started up at 7am. Because the room had no a/c or fan we had to have the window open, which compounded the noise issue. Didn't get much sleep. No iron or kettle, weak wifi

Loved this bed & breakfast!. Rooms were well designed with balconies overlooking the ocean. Breakfast was reserved when you arrived and in the morning it was ready when you arrived to the dining room. The staff was very lovely and helpful. This B&B is perfect place to stay for a visit to Sintra and the surrounding areas. It is located in a small town with a great restaurant by the sea. It can get quite windy with winds coming from the sea in the morning and evenings - bring a jacket! Keep in mind that the chalet does not have a restaurant for lunch or dinner. It is a lovely upscale B&B. I highly recommend it.

Extremely kind and accommodating staff. Excellent food, much of it sourced from the Atlantic Ocean. Increadible views from the dining deck, outdoor swimming pool, room balconies. It's a bit of a hike to the tram stop, and you'll need the tram to get to Sintra. If you have a rental car, then you'll be happy to know that Arribas has plenty of parking for you.

The room was nice and tidy, the staff was very lovely and helpful, breakfast was good and the sourroundings very beatiful (i had been to sintra and the cost). I was there by car and found it usefull, i don't know how good the bus connections are...

What a beautifully curated interior this hotel has! A very special ambiance has been created by Vitorino through a delightful mixing of classical and modern design influences, suffused with a sense of calm well-being. We had a most comfortable stay here. Vitorino's attention to detail did not stop at the furnishings - daily freshly prepared breakfast treats were another stand-out feature. Vila Vitorino got our vote for best Portuguese custard tart of the holiday too. Thank you very much for looking after us so well! Our dinner recommendations from this hotel are Otto's (across the road) where we had tasty freshly cooked pizza, pasta and some regional dishes and Colheita 71 (about a 15 minute walk away). This latter proved to be one of the best dining experiences of our week-long stay in the region, with wonderful regional dishes and a particularly kind hostess who was able to help with some dietary requirements under fairly short notice.

We had a great time during our 5 night stay at the Vila Gale Sintra. I’ll start with the pros of the resort. The property itself is beautiful. The pools, the scenery around the hotel are amazing. The family room layout was great for us. It was essentially what appeared to be what used to be two rooms combined into one. The large balcony was great for sitting out at night. The sunset was spectacular from our room. The kids activities were great as my kids got to enjoy the carousel, playground and trampoline park. Be aware though that they only open these at certain times throughout the day. The breakfast was great and had a ton of selections. There were a few cons, the first was the buffet dinner. It was quite expensive at 29 euros per person and the options werent great. They only really had one meat and one fish that they were cooking and there was a line to wait in if you wanted it. We only ate dinner there the first night. The room was partially refurbished. The carpet looked older and the sliding door within the room kept coming off the tracks. And the bathroom was a little odd in that the vanity was open to the rest of the room. So if someone needed to use the lights for it they would light potentially wake up the person in the room if they were sleeping. Then the WiFi, while it worked well for the most part, kept having to reconnect to the network. This happened on both my phone and iPad several times each day while I was there. The location of the hotel has its pluses and minuses. It is a quiet resort away from the city of Sintra. And it’s also located in a place that makes it easy to get to the beach and Colares. But there isn’t anything else right around the hotel so you need to rent a car or take an Uber to get around. We took and Uber and it did work pretty well. Nothing is within walking distance and the nearest bus stop is a 20-30 minute walk away.

We spent six days here. This is our second visit. We love the quiet rural situation of the Quinte. Andre and his Mother are most hospitable people. Friendly and nothing too much trouble. Fantastic breakfast as much as you want to eat. Lovely swimming pool and pretty gardens. We visited Mafra, Sintra and various small rural villages in the region . Recommend Tabunas restaurant in Varezea but advise booking. Lovely beaches especially Magoito On a warm but stormy day, just us and the surfers. Car hire advisable as you are quite rural tho still in walking distance of Varezea but if you want to go out to rural restaurants or sightseeing it’s a must. If you want to visit Lisbon then there is a great train service from Sintra where you can park the car for free ( speak to Andre). We hope to be back again .
