Great location virtually on the beach and close to a couple of good restaurants. Friendly staff and a nice buffet breakfast. Room was as basic as they come but clean. Pillows were inadequate and only one each until more requested. No tea making facilities in room and no bottled water supplied: so just a bit lacking.

We had a beautiful long weekend stay here. Staff were so welcoming and attentive, the pool is phenomenal and our room was clean and modern with a balcony overlooking the sea. The restaurant is worth a visit even if you’re not staying at the hotel because the food is great. Dying to go back already!

I went there from 14 until 16 of January and I had an amazing experience. This hotel is so good, calm, comfortable, perfect for a good couple moments, has a good food, cleaning, location from Sintra City with so many castles and medieval era places to know. And what I have to say about the staff? OMG! Everybody is wonderful hosts! I just have to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for all! Keep going this way I really wanna to come back as soon is possible :)

What a beautifully curated interior this hotel has! A very special ambiance has been created by Vitorino through a delightful mixing of classical and modern design influences, suffused with a sense of calm well-being. We had a most comfortable stay here. Vitorino's attention to detail did not stop at the furnishings - daily freshly prepared breakfast treats were another stand-out feature. Vila Vitorino got our vote for best Portuguese custard tart of the holiday too. Thank you very much for looking after us so well! Our dinner recommendations from this hotel are Otto's (across the road) where we had tasty freshly cooked pizza, pasta and some regional dishes and Colheita 71 (about a 15 minute walk away). This latter proved to be one of the best dining experiences of our week-long stay in the region, with wonderful regional dishes and a particularly kind hostess who was able to help with some dietary requirements under fairly short notice.

We had a great time during our 5 night stay at the Vila Gale Sintra. I’ll start with the pros of the resort. The property itself is beautiful. The pools, the scenery around the hotel are amazing. The family room layout was great for us. It was essentially what appeared to be what used to be two rooms combined into one. The large balcony was great for sitting out at night. The sunset was spectacular from our room. The kids activities were great as my kids got to enjoy the carousel, playground and trampoline park. Be aware though that they only open these at certain times throughout the day. The breakfast was great and had a ton of selections. There were a few cons, the first was the buffet dinner. It was quite expensive at 29 euros per person and the options werent great. They only really had one meat and one fish that they were cooking and there was a line to wait in if you wanted it. We only ate dinner there the first night. The room was partially refurbished. The carpet looked older and the sliding door within the room kept coming off the tracks. And the bathroom was a little odd in that the vanity was open to the rest of the room. So if someone needed to use the lights for it they would light potentially wake up the person in the room if they were sleeping. Then the WiFi, while it worked well for the most part, kept having to reconnect to the network. This happened on both my phone and iPad several times each day while I was there. The location of the hotel has its pluses and minuses. It is a quiet resort away from the city of Sintra. And it’s also located in a place that makes it easy to get to the beach and Colares. But there isn’t anything else right around the hotel so you need to rent a car or take an Uber to get around. We took and Uber and it did work pretty well. Nothing is within walking distance and the nearest bus stop is a 20-30 minute walk away.
