At our “Barefoot House”, you can kick off your shoes and enjoy the many sites and wonders of Portugal

Set in the foothills of Sintra, our Quinta is an ideal starting point to discover this UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape of palaces, castles and woodland gardens. You can also explore further afield to Lisbon, Cascais and the breathtaking Atlantic coastline, all within easy reach for a day’s outing.

Our typical country house is set in lush gardens boasting citrus trees, aromatic herbs, vibrant hydrangeas and blushing bougainvillea. The outdoor swimming pool includes a spacious sun terrace and dining area, as well as a open air barbecue. You can also relax with a book, play games or enjoy the wide open fireplace in our large common living room.

Every morning, we serve a freshly prepared breakfast with local breads and cheeses, freshly-squeezed juice with Portuguese oranges (from our garden when available!) and homemade jams. In the evenings, we will be happy to introduce you to local wines and other regional products.

Rooms

Would you like to enjoy the whole Quinta do Pé Descalço exclusively with just your family and/or friends? No problem at all! You can choose to rent all our facilities and enjoy the entire house and annex, inclusive of pool and garden, entirely to yourselves.
(max. 13 adults or 12 adults and 4 children).

This Quinta is heaven! Patricia and Ricardo are wonderful hosts who were very welcoming and caring. We stayed 3 nights in the family room and enjoyed every minute of our stay.The Quinta is perfectly located to serve as base for day trips. Uber works great in Sintra so we left our car at the Quinta and booked an Uber for every trip (to the castles, train station or restaurants). And after every trip we were so happy to be able to return to this quiet and peaceful hideaway. The Quinta itself is beautifully decorated, the rooms are cozy and the garden & pool are perfect to relax. Patricia and Ricardo prepared a delicious breakfast every morning and helped with great recommendations for our trips. Thanks a lot for a great time and we will definitely come back!

Estoy de vacaciones con mi familia, hemos elegido Sintra y este hospedaje que nos ha parecido maravilloso nada más entrar por la puerta. Un matrimonio de portugués española lo llevan juntos desde hace poco tiempo pero con un encanto espectacular. Tiene rincones maravillosos que me recuerdan a las novelas de cuentos para niños, mi hijo se lo está pasando fenomenal corriendo por toda la finca. Lástima que no acompaña el tiempo para bañarse en la piscina sin embargo podemos tomar el sol tranquilamente después del desayuno que nos preparan tan amablemente. ¡Saludos!

We spent some days at the Quinta and it was a wonderful stay. Patricia and Ricardo are amazing hosts and are doing a great job taking care of this B&B. The breakfast was wonderful, with a nice mix of fruits, jams, fresh bread, granola and delicious cheese 🙂 the house, garden + swimming pool are also very beautiful, a perfect stay to relax and also to visit a lot of things in the area. Strongly recommended! Beijinhos and hopefully we can see each other soon, thank you for everything

We stayed here for a week in june 2019 and simply loved the place. The house and surroundings were beautiful and the daily breakfast was nice. The owners, Ricardo and Patricia, also gave us some amazing restaurant tips, and other advise to do activities in the nearby area. Ricardo and I also shared a passion of cars, so we had some nice talks during the week! We'll definitely come back some day :)P.s. we also loved the house-parrot

Hemos pasado 2 semanas en agosto, disfrutando del entorno excepcional y de la casa y jardines, muy bien acondicionados, decorados, y cómodos. Habitaciones muy amplias y con gran armario, baños bonitos, amplios y con espacios para las cosas. El jardín y la piscina, inmejorables. Además el microclima de la zona hace la estancia muy agradable.Especialmente recomendable si un grupo grande ocupa toda la casa, ya que entonces la barbacoa y las zonas comunes son aún mejores, si es posible mejorar. Los anfitriones, muy amables y atentos. Lo hemos recomendado a nuestros amigos y volveremos.
