Find the Cheap Sao Joao Das Lampas Hotels

I did not expect to be so disappointed with my night in this guest house when I met the owner who was my faith very friendly. But for that price, the service was really horrible. A bed as hard as a stone bench, pillows surely found in Emmaus. The water of the cumulus which is connected on the three rooms of the house so huge variation of pressure and temperature when taking a shower/ bath. The room was infested with mosquitoes, I spent all my evening and a large part of my night to track pests because I am allergic to it, I warned the owner who gave me an anti mosquito bomb before telling me that there were no mosquitoes in the house (Something that is false because having lunch with other guests they lived the same night and were very disappointed. They did not understand the notes of the establishment and made fun of those who had left such lies). The soundproofing is horrible also we hear the owner who watches the TV downstairs, the other rooms but also the dogs of the neighbors who screamed all night and cherry on the cake, wake up at seven o'clock by the parakeets of the owner just below the room plus the TV that did not work. A little ashamed to ask for a positive review when you have such a ridiculous establishment that only serves to catch tourists who want a typical homestay stay instead of the coldness of a hotel. Let’s talk about breakfast, not fruit juice but a brick of ice tea coming out of the lidl, which products mark see below. All in all, when the owner of the establishment accepted us and advised us on the visits to be made the next day, it was chiquement apprété with a set of jewel worth in the 1000/ 1500 euros. A bit ridiculous such a gap between the appearance of the person and the quality of service offered for the three rooms. For the same price, I would have had access to a 4-star hotel with a buffet breakfast and the calm we would have liked to have seen the standing of your slum. Thank you however for the advice, only thing to remember from this stay, the talent of tourist guide of our host but absolutely not to receive. To avoid if you wish a good night’s sleep and a good breakfast. When we allow ourselves to beg for a review we must be irreproachable, otherwise we are ridiculous. If I wasn’t a rat I would have asked for a refund:)

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 .

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 came for 2 nights here in Sintra and this B&B was fantastic. The beds were the most comfortable beds we've had in a hotel room, the room wad tidy, modern and clean. Breakfast was delicious and had a range of nice options. The bread and croissants were particularly good. Service was brilliant throughout. We arrived very late (1am) but we found the check-in super easy thanks to Mariana. Overall, a great place to stay. Highly recommended.
