Sintra Townhouse

A Traditional Townhouse Remodeled by Pedro Reynolds

Set in the center of Sintra bordering the forest, this vacation home for rent in Portugal is full of small delights. We love architect Pedro Reynold's modern adaptation of the historic structure and the charming design details. 

Located on a quiet street bordering national park lands, this vacation home for rent in the heart of Sintra allows you access to both the city and miles of forest.

Designed in the traditional style, the historic townhouse is charming and picturesque with newly remodeled interiors by architect Pedro Reynolds. The house's unique features have been updated and reconfigured with modern custom finishes while preserving the provincial charm and original character. 

Divided into several intimate rooms, the living and dining area overlook views of the forest and are adjacent to the fully-equipped kitchen. 

With two en-suite double bedrooms and a sofa bed, the house can accommodate up to six guests. The furnishings and design by Sparrow Creative Solutions are creative and cheerful with unique handcrafted art and detail throughout. 

The terrace is the spot to dine on sunny days and soak up the views of the Castelo dos Mouros and from where you can wander down to the center of town.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Wifi, cable TV with DVD player, bath and kitchen essentials, books, kid's games and local guide to the city.

AROUND

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the town of Sintra has a rich cultural heritage that includes both Moorish and European influences. Located a half an hour from Lisbon, it is an area that is ideal for enjoying the city, the sea and the over 100 miles of protected National Park land. 

Lined with great shops, cafes and architectural splendor, central Sintra is best explored on foot, where you can wander through the winding cobblestone walkways and intricate masonry walls among lush greenery. 

Don't miss Pena Palace and Gardens, Sintra National Palace, Regaleira Palace and Monserrat Palace and Gardens. The nearby Atlantic coastline is lined with beautiful beaches, including Praia Grande, Praia das Maçãs and Azenhas do Mar, while the nearby Roca Cape is a dramatic headland formation and the westernmost point on the European mainland.
