10/10 Exceptional

Stay was great, we were slightly delayed receiving the room but we were provided keys and our luggage was stored and put into the room for when we came back. Checkout was early so we were able to leave the keys on the counter and leave through the side door which locked behind us. Free parking was available in the lot across the street.

8/10 Very good

Room was clean and decorated beautifully. The only issue we had was the electricity would randomly shut off- happened a couple times in a 12 hour stay. Seems to be a common occurrence at this property.

10/10 Exceptional

We loved this hotel. The staff was kind and helpful, especially Bonnie who kept our room spotless…anything we needed they provided. It’s not a modern property but we preferred the roominess of having 2 bedrooms and close to many restaurants. There is a great little coffee shop next door with delicious pastries we went to every day!

Staff went beyond their duties. It was raining hard when we arrived and the cleaning/night shift person not only helped us get our luggage into the room, got us an umbrella and helped us settle in.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a tremendous stay at the Storytellers Villas. We cannot recommend this location highly enough. We stayed in the two bedroom room, and it was the perfect amount of space; our nine year old was thrilled to have her own room and bathroom. We had the pleasure of being served by Bowani who is not only the housekeeper, but also the receptionist, and the server at breakfast. Obrigada, Bowani! You are a gem. Breakfast was a great selection of breads, croissants, ham, cheese, yogurt and hot beverages. All you need! We will definitely be back.

6/10 Good

Pros: Well designed, comfy rooms; rather than a kitchenette, a nearly complete kitchen; great house keeper; convenient location; easy parking. Cons: Lousy back office. Before I even arrived, I received a weird request from the Storytellers through Hotels.com to pay an additional 176 euros. I was fully paid and ignored it, nothing more was said of it, but in view of what came later it deserves mention. At the end of the stay, the management hit me up for an extra 20 euros for using the sofa bed. Mind you, I booked for myself and my son, so obviously we would use the extra bed. I had to ask for bedding on arrival and nothing was said until the end. So that was both surprise/hidden billing as well as nickel and diming, because I've never been charged for using a sofa bed before. Not anywhere. Although they honored my VIP-Platinum status for early check in, I was also supposed to get a bottle of wine because of VIP and that wasn't there. The kindest way to describe it is the back office/management is confused; the unkind way you can probably guess, but I will leave that unsaid.

Walkable to restaurants/cafes, and the Moorish and Pena castles. Was very relaxing. Staff were helpful with their recommendations. Lisbon only 20 minutes away and after spending day in Lisbon we were very glad we stayed in Sintra instead. Would stay again.

The property is more like a Airbnb than a hotel as the description. It is a very old property. The bathroom door is broken, can’t close.

Great place, but very noisy. If you are partying until late it's great and close to everything, but if you have an early flight or want a good sleep on a Friday or Saturday night, look elsewhere.
