We had booked at this beautiful former palace several months in advance as a planned 2 night post-cruise stay. I had contacted the concierge by email to arrange for a driver to pick us up in the cruise port in Lisbon after an 11 day cruise on the Crystal Serenity. As promised a very informative and professional chauffeur was awaiting... More

Everything perfect , all we could expect from a historical portuguese palace, we strongly recomend it. More

A splendid hotel in a beautiful old portugese manor house. Over the years we have traveled a lot and stayed in some very nice hotels, but I don't think we ever slept in such wonderful comfortable beds. Our room was beautiful appointed, with a large very privat terrace with fantastic views. Even the walk to our room was a pleasure,... More

Palacio de Setais is an architectural gem nestled in beautiful lush gardens. Walking distance to SIntra, it was nice to be away from the crowds in this amazing paradise. The pool and terrace area made it hard to leave the grounds to visit the nearby sites. There were many exquisite sitting rooms and a lovely terrace overlooking the pool and... More

The staff are welcoming and professional. Our room was furnished with antiques and had a modern bathroom designed in harmony with the period. The rooms overlooking the citrus orchard and pool...

Last year my wife and I stayed at this grand hotel, at a not particularly busy time, only to endure several days that could hardly be called restful. We had no problems with the grounds or the appointments of the hotel: our room was splendid, though a bit on the old world stodgy side, and the staff friendly and efficient,... More

I can't believe there aren't any more recent reviews on this impeccable place. I stayed at the Palacio de Seteais for 5 nights in late September 2009 with my boyfriend. We could not have asked for a more romantic spot, up in the hills above Sintra. Everything at the Palacio de Seteais was flawless -- the room, the bedding, the... More

Our first trip to the Seteais was in 2005. Upon finishing a college program in Spain, our son, my husband and I had driven through Spain into Portugal. It was fabulous and we secretly vowed we would come back again someday. This July, we returned with our son and his wife because we couldn't think of any place more special... More
