Quinta de São Tadeu is a family house whose recovery project and opening to the public arises from my passion for hostelry, the service and the will and desire to make each and every of our clients feeling as they were at home. I work with the commitment that each guest that visits or chooses us for an event, or to share a special moment, feels like one more friend, feels like someone important for this project and this is what makes me believe that although it can seem very difficult, dreams come true. I love the countryside, decor, painting and winter in Sintra. The smell of wet grass, cottage chimneys, read, travel, the ocean. I am passionate about people, long talks, family, friends. Marvelous Colares red wine, cheese, baked cod, seafood rice, chocolate and of course, a Sintra must, travesseiros and queijadinhas, My passion for music comes from my grandmother, and exquisite pianist, the best for me...her piano.
Quinta de São Tadeu is located only 2km away from Sintra historical center hence its proximity to the main sights of the Villa: Palacio da Villa, Palacio da Pena, Quinta de Regaleira, Palacio de Montserrate.

In addition, just in a 10 minute drive you can access the most beautiful beaches of the coast such as Praia Grande, Maças, Adraga and Guincho unmistakeable beauty spots making our cottage enjoy a prime location halfway between the Atlantic Ocean and Sierra de Sintra.
