Quinta da Capela

Sintra - Lisbon - Lisbon Hotels & Sintra

Manor House

Number of rooms: 8

Built in the 16th century by the Duke of Cadaval, Qtª da Capela was destroyed by the great Lisbon earthquake of 1755 and rebuilt in 1773 in its present Portuguese rural style. The end result is considered to be one of the most attractive small hotels in the region. The main house is of a long stone structure furnished with Portuguese antiques and surrounded by stunning gardens. It accommodates seven rooms, all of which afford spectacular views of the area. The grounds also include several cottages with self-catering facilities.

There is a gymnasium, sauna and a little swimming pool in a secluded part of the garden, which offers views of the Atlantic coast. There are also several beaches only ten minutes away and horse riding and tennis are available nearby. It is worth reminding that the Quinta is located in one of the loveliest spots in the country – Sintra or “Glorious Eden” as Lord Byron described it.

ll	Activities

The romantic town of Sintra, praised by Lord Byron, is a must for those visiting the Estoril Coast. Less than twenty kilometres away, this area is particularly attractive for its lush vegetation and the original architecture of the houses, mostly dating back to the XIX century. Most important monuments are the Sintra National Palace (Paço Real or Palácio da Vila), situated in the old quarter and the Pena National Palace and Park, approx. 4.5 km from old quarter. The Queluz National Palace, 15 km from the historic centre of Sintra is also worth to be visited as are it's parks and gardens.

The Estoril Coast line and the coast to the west – at the foot of the Sintra hills is worth visiting at all the times of the year. One of the most important places for the visitor is of course, Lisbon - capital of Portugal and relatively close to Cascais. There are many places to see and things to do in this area. We suggest you check out the information in the contents section of the Lisbon hotels.

Cabo da Roca
The most westerly point of Europe, a magnificent cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy the delightfully unspoilt countryside, the low-growing vegetation and in the spring, the white carpet of Armeria Pseudarmeria, unique to this area.

ESTORIL

An internationally known resort, Estoril has all the facilities you will need together with a natural beauty and individual architecture blending with the surroundings. It is worth taking a stroll along to Monte Estoril, where you will find many pretty buildings on the way. In the park in front of the Casino, a colourful scene pleases the eye, edged by tall, tropical palm trees. Without losing any of its natural charm, Estoril has spread and now offers many facilities for the visitor.

Beaches:
Guincho beach, lying at the foot of the Sintra hills and facing the Atlantic, should not be missed. Also visit Praia Grande and Praia da Adraga in Colares after Cabo da Roca.

Carcavelos market every Thursday morning - good bargains can often be found - and Cascais market every Wednesday morning. Food and, like Carcavelos there are many good bargains available.

Y. A., England

We just came back from a short vacation in Portugal. I have never been in Portugal before and must first of all say that Lissabon is really astonishing. But the most amazing discovery to us was the Quinta da Capela, an extremely charming and peaceful country inn, outside of beautiful and UNESCO-protected village Sintra.

If one of you needs a rest from our dizzy world and feels like chilling in all its best, don’t hesitate for a second. Book a flight to Lissabon, catch the little suburban train to Sintra and then take a cab to the Quinta da Capela where nice hosts will give you a warm welcome and your mind will really be in vacation.
