Top Sintra Hotel Reviews

Arribas Sintra Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I discovered the Arribas Sintra Hotel on Instagram and knew right away that I had to book it for our family—and it did not disappoint! The views are even more beautiful in person than they are in the pictures, with breathtaking sunsets, a stunning setting right by the ocean, and such a special atmosphere. It truly feels like a little piece of paradise. We had such a wonderful stay and would absolutely come back one day. Highly recommend!"
