A Magical Location

Set on Rua Barbosa du Bocage,  the old magical road of Sintra that links most of the palaces, your guests will pass in front of some of the most noteworthy sites of Sintra, such as the Sintra National Palace, the Palace of Monserrate and the Quinta da Regaleira. Quinta da Bella Vista is a 35-45 minute drive away from the center of Lisbon, and a 15-20 minute walk from the historic center of Sintra.

​

The Sintra Hills (Portuguese: Serra De Sintra), is a mountain range in western Portugal. Its highest point at (529 meters [1736 ft.]) is near the enchanting UNESCO world-heritage village of Sintra. The range covers about 16 km (10 miles) from the resort town of Sintra to Cabo da Roca (Cape Roca) on the Atlantic Ocean. It was known in the ancient world as Lunae Mons (mountains of the Moon) and was the legendary retreat of Diana the Huntress (known as Cynthia to the Romans, hence “Çintra”).

A superb south west orientation gives our Quinta the name “Bella Vista.” A captivating warm light bathes our land while you watch the sun set in the far ends of the Atlantic Ocean. The estate is also protected from the strong north-northeasterly winds and the southerlies as it is hugged by the Sintra hills. Only strong westerlies can be felt. A moderate dry micro-climate, similar to mid-northern California, provides for cool evenings, and pleasantly warm days. 

Creating memories that will last forever, the views in the evenings are enhanced by the nicely illuminated Palacio Monserrate in the foreground.

The Estate

​

Four hectares of land host the Palacio, Casa Comporta, Villa Camelia, Villa Monseratte, and Casa Bohemia.

A total of sixteen well-equipped bedroom Suites and Residences can accommodate up to 36 lucky guests with amenities such as heated floors, fireplaces, Sonos sound system throughout, high speed internet, and closed circuit television security coverage throughout the grounds.  

Our estate features two swimming pools that are available depending on your booking: The Villas Pool of approx. 11 x 5.50 m with Sukabumi green natural stones which contain a mineral called zeolite, whose ionic properties purify water by reducing the amount of chlorine or salt needed, and the stunning heated Palacio Pool of 14 x 6 m, both of which come with an underwater sound system, and offering unhindered expanded ocean sunset views and cozy fire pits. Both have been former irrigation tanks that were converted for swimming, and are surrounded by very comfortable sun lounging areas.

​

Our Lawn and Garden Theater, the 300 square meter restored Victorian Greenhouse, and our Adega in the Palacio can please the most discerning guests and can host the most demanding events, from weddings and anniversaries, to music festivals, product launches, company offsites, retreats, and lectures. The biggest event we have hosted to date has been a 900-person "business festival".

Our Vegetable Gardens and Animal Farm provide us with fresh milk, eggs, organic vegetables and fruit. Further, seven well-equipped kitchens, four outdoor grill areas, and other possibilities to cater to events abound and will offer guests plenty of choices for the most exquisite gastronomic taste buds. 

Back at the times of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the rich gardens of Quinta da Bella Vista were famous for the aromatic lemons that were used for the cocktails of the glamorous Ritz Hotel of Lisbon. With six natural springs supplying its unique rich in minerals water, the lush gardens of Quinta da Bella Vista provide the perfect setting for your visit to Sintra.
