If payment is not carried out according to the accepted booking conditions, the booking may be cancelled without reimbursement of the amount already paid.

We reserve the right to cancel unilaterally the reservation and evict from the room anyone who appears to be under the effects of alcohol or illegal drugs or practicing potentially illegal activities, as well as violent or disrespectful behaviour, physical or verbal, of any kind. We also reserve the right to refuse access to the Quinta do Pé Descalço to whoever acts improperly or contrary to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

A valid photo ID is required at the time of check-in, in compliance with national law. The credit card used to pay for the booking must also be presented. In the event of failure to present the requested documents, we reserve the right to refuse access to the accommodation.

4. MUNICIPAL TOURIST TAX

Since February 2019, Sintra applies a municipal tourist tax for overnight accommodation, which is collected by tourism firms and local accommodation establishments.

Revenue from this tax benefits projects, studies, equipment or infrastructure that promote sustainable tourism growth, environmental quality of the region and maintenance of the municipal cultural heritage.

The tax must be paid at check-in or check-out, if not already paid at the time of reservation.

Fee: 2€ per overnight stay per guest (over 13 years old), up to a maximum of 3 consecutive overnight stays. Click here for more info.

5. BED LINEN AND BATH TOWELS

We provide our guests with high quality, 100% cotton, bed linen and bath towels. In keeping with our ecological policies, we ask guests to think about reusing their towels. To replace a towel, please place it on the floor in the bathroom.
Bed linen can be replaced from the third day of your stay, upon request.

6. CLEANING SERVICE

The daily cleaning service is from 10am to 1pm, when guests are not in the room in order to avoid disturbing them. If you decide to stay in your room during these hours, we will consider that you do not need the cleaning service that day.
