Casas da Biquinha

The house is nice and the price for the 2 bedroom was reasonable. The view was nice on a hill. Wifi was good. Amenities were fine with stove, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and more. The house was clean. The only issue we saw was that one of the walk in closets had mold on the walls so we could not use it. Also hot (or even warm) water was not available all the time. I think the boiler was too small for the number of people they had in the house. Communication was good and check in was seamless. Overall good experience and I would stay there again.

The most wonderful apartments, charmingly furnished. Fully functional kitchen, nice decor. Beautifully tiled bathroom with modern sink and shower. Very close to center, train station. Easy public transport-would not advise driving. Narrow lanes and minimal, if any parking.

Horrible area for parking, streets very narrow, the apartment dosen't have elevator, both matresses in very bad conditions, all the facilities very poor and inadequate. Of course, we will not come back.

The standard of accommodation was poor but it was in a very good location

Clean. Spacious. Not great communications about location, etc. Seem to forget that jet lagged people might not have much battery left either in the phone or the brain after an overseas flight making it stressful to connect when the location given isn't the actual location of the room.itherwuse really great.

Owner was not clear about ability to reach the apartment via car. The apartment is located in the historic center and access is restricted until 7 pm. We were told that all we had to do was show our reservation to the authorities and they would let us through to drop off our luggage. We were turned away quite strictly and made to park far away. We had to walk a very steep, narrow and dangerous road with cars coming at us in the opposite direction. My daughter’s backpack was actually hit by an oncoming car’s side mirror. If you have anyone in your party with mobility issues, steer clear of this accommodation.

The view from the apartment was stunning and it was well-located to the historic centre. But be prepared to park your car elsewhere as you cannot access the apartment (even to drop off your luggage) until 7 pm. The owner had told us that we could show our reservation to the authorities and that they would let us through to drop our luggage and then park elsewhere but they turned us away and we had to park far away. The walk up to the house is very steep and narrow with cars coming in the opposite direction. My daughter got hit by a car’s side mirror. It hit her backpack so nothing serious but it was not fun. Another member of our party has mobility issues so that was also challenging. We ended up leaving a day early. Definitely reconsider this location if you have someone with mobility issues (small children or elderly as well.)

This place is one of its kind, spacious, with a kitchen and a backyard. There’s no front desk, but the communication was clear and in time. It is close to attractions, restaurants and transportations.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Casas de Biquinhas in Sintra. Not only was the 2 bedroom apartment clean and comfortable, but the property manager responded quickly and thoroughly to our enquries in English! Our beds were comfortable too. Shower pressure excellent. Spacious showers. No bathtub. While the apartment entrance, floors, windows, and kitchen were dated, it was clean and well furnished. We used the dishwasher and supplied detergent. The gas stove worked well. Frying pans look new. Satellite TV worked very well. Instructions provided very much helped for stove, TV, and dishwasher. Everything worked as expected. Finding and unlocking the safe and check in went smoothly. Bonus was early check-in for apartment! Much appteciated! Oh and the views of the historic municipal hall tower from the 2 bedrooms and kitchen were impressive. Estrada Macieira 6 was address. Oh and there was a private deck with table and 6 chairs. Overall a 5 star experience that exceeded our expectations. Thank you Casas de Biquinhas! This 2 bedroom apartment was more comfyable than similar and slightly more expensive apartments in Lisbon, Porto, Manteigas, and Lagos. To access the apartment one needs to descend about 12 outside stairs. We would definitely return the next time we are in the Lisbon area. Trains are frequent and cheap between Lisbon and Sintra.
