Chalet Saudade underwent a 5-year complete renovation and offers modern and comfortable accommodations, elegant living rooms with trompe l’œil frescoes and romantic gardens with antique water fountains and ponds. Rooms include tea making facilities.

Perfect location - right in the heart of Sintra. The breakfast area ("Cafe Saudade", which we believe is owned by the same people who own "Chalet Saudade"), was only a 1 minute walk from the Chalet - and served up a lovely, varied breakfast every morning - and that kept us going until late afternoon. Breakfast times were also very flexible - available anytime from 08:30 - 12:00 and the staff serving the breakfast were very friendly & helpful. We only interacted with staff at the Chalet when we were checking-in / checking-out, but they were very friendly on both occasions. The room itself was a great size (significantly larger than most of the rooms that were offered at the Tivoli Sintra hotel for a similar price) and it was like a small apartment in many ways, with a separate bedroom and living room area .... and a separate closet for hanging/storing clothes and shoes. We also had a great view of the park area, looking up the hill to the Moorish Castle, which is lit-up beautifully at night-time. All of the small modern amenities that you'd like to have were available - fridge, hairdyer, tea-making facilities and a large, flat-screen TV (which we didn't turn on once because the weather was so good in Sintra). In terms of cleanliness, the collective space within the one "room" was immaculate and the three air conditioning units (one in the bedroom, one in the bathroom and one in the living room) were working perfectly - and this was greatly appreciated given that our visit occurred in the middle of an abnormal heatwave. As long as the price remains very reasonable, I would have no hesitation in staying here again if I ever get the opportunity to return to Sintra .... in fact, I can't imagine that I would even bother trying to book anywhere else. The owners of the Chalet Saudade & Cafe Saudade should be very proud of themselves and the staff who run the operation of both on their behalf.

Olga Cadaval Cultural Centre is 10 km from the guest house, while Sintra Natural History Museum is 11 km away. The nearest airport is Humberto Delgado Airport, 12 km from Quinta das Pedras.

This place is just a jewel and paradise. But the quality of this stay is not only about the place and incredible property, but even more about the incredibly gentle, kind, polite and attentive owner and host Ricardo. We have never experienced such relaxation and beauty of a place. Also Ricardo has an amazing taste regarding the interior and outside of the house. We will come back for sure and can highly recommand this unique oasis of relaxation.

    Great, great location. If arriving by taxi, ask them to drop you off at the tourist information office. The guesthouse is down the little alley between there and the Paris Cafe, on the right side. Beautiful old European charm and decor. Comfortable bed. Quiet location. Hosts clearly care about providing a good experience for their guests.

    The host is pretty kind and available. It was very easy to communicate at all times. The house is in a great location, very close to the train station and the city centre. The house is also very new and clean.

    Absolutely delightful staff and such a charming place. We felt so welcomed and had a very comfortable stay. Its within easy walking distance of the main city center and public transport to the various castles and sites in the area, and within walking distance to a nice little laundromat. The yard and grounds are lovely with lots of places to have a cup of tea or coffee. When we left we wished we’d planned time to relax at the guesthouse because it was so cozy.

    It was new and clean. But very small inside a 4 bed dorm. Would be crammed if everyone is there at once. This hostel had no vibe. It’s very chill and quiet but it just seems sterile and the energy seems meh. If you’ve been to great hostel before with a great vibe. You’ll know what I mean. Location was pretty central and close to everything. Beds were comfortable and the AC was on and you can control it in the room. They also provided a blanket which was a nice touch.

    Great location! 1 street away from the train station, but we didn’t hear any noise. 10 min walk to the historical city center. Kind hosts who show you around the guesthouse and give lots of recommendations, have a nice chat. Clean rooms, they made the bed everyday and gave clean towels everyday. Divers breakfast, Very delicious! You feel at home!

    Chalet Relogio Guesthouse is charming, rustic, quiet and comfortable, and is close to Sintra's restaurants and sights. From the spacious outdoor deck seating we had views of a castle, and from our room we had large windows overlooking the gardens. Breakfasts were also very good and fresh, and included cheeses, meats, fresh fruit and bread. They also kindly provided us with gluten-free bread. We had a wonderful and restful stay.

    Host/owner has mastered the art of making people feel welcome in this beautiful little bed and breakfast. 100% recommend staying over night in Sintra and equally 100% recommend staying in this quaint little guest house. Lovely breakfast- she took a universal continental breakfast too the next level. Unique set up, tasty food with cozy tables, it was a full experience and I would come back again just for breakfast alone!
