Holiday Rentals in Sintra - A Guide to Sintra
Sintra is one of the best known tourist sites in Portugal and holiday rentals in Sintra reflect this popularity. The Atlantic coastline near the town of Colares boasts the kind of beaches one has come to expect in Portugal and inland, the city of Sintra itself has had poets waxing lyrical for centuries.
Sintra is easily reached from Lisbon but most holiday makers will prefer to take a Sintra holiday rental and visit the capital for a day rather than the other way around. Many people from Lisbon visit for weekends.
Those lucky enough to choose a Sintra holiday rental will find a wealth of palaces, castles and gardens to explore. A trip up into the mountains will afford amazing views down to the ocean.

Types of Holiday Rentals in Sintra
There are two main centres for Sintra holiday rentals – the coast and Sintra itself. The Atlantic coast is a paradise for surfers but there are plenty of beaches for families as well. There are a few apartments but villas to rent in Sintra are the most popular.
If a pool is important to you, check the details because they are by no means de rigueur as in the Algarve. You will also find traditional cottages to rent in Sintra, some of which are converted farm buildings.
Generally these Sintra holiday rentals are quite small with only one or two bedrooms. I have, however, seen a “cottage” to rent in Sintra with 6 bedrooms! Often this type of Sintra holiday rental will be set in the hills and described as a “romantic getaway”. Sintra municipality is part of the District of Lisbon and therefore is quite populated so “secluded” probably won’t mean “isolated”.
From your Sintra holiday rental you will be able to explore Lisbon and the coastal resorts such as Cascais without having to drive for miles.
Sintra Useful Information
Lying to the west of Lisbon, Sintra is easily accessible from Lisbon Airport which is really the most logical point of access. It is a long drive from Faro Airport to a holiday rental in Sintra and even further from Spain.
