    It was such a unique property! We really enjoyed everything about it. The location was good and it was great - even imperative - to have a dedicated parking spot in Sintra. Breakfast was provided at a nearby cafe, although there was also a...

    Unser Host Joana war sehr nett und zuverlässig. Alles passte wie in der Beschreibung. Die Lage ist toll und wie eine kleine Oase in der Stadt. Auch die Pfauen haben sich sehen lassen. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Beautiful renovated 1789 Chapel set in the heart of Sintra. Private outdoor lounge area with breathtaking mountain views of the Moorish Castle. 3 minutes walk to Sintra Station as well as the main meeting point for site seeing tours. Very close to all the beautiful quaint cafes, shops and restaurants.
The A Capela Team is always on hand 24 hours a day to assist you.
We definitely recommend doing a tour to see the main sights over a couple of days, including Pena Palace, the Moorish Castle, Quinta da Regaleira, Monseratte Palace and Sintra’s National Palace. You can also take the beach tram to visit one of Sintra’s many beaches or even visit one of our local vineyards for wine tasting!
