HOWEVER, when booking your Suite with me in all the public areas of the Sintra WOW Palace, here’s where History Meets Technology!

And ALL public areas are for you to use! And you can go use them as if you were at your own home. Every day of the week, any time of the day. This is where I live with my son, Pedro,, and my giant dog Charlie (a Great Dane), and other amazing guests from around the world!!! (every day!)

The palace features a large patio with a Hot Tub, Mini-golf, a giant Chess game, and numerous seating areas to relax, couches, chairs, swing, dine, or read a book.

Additionally, there's a massive outdoor movie projector and a top varanda surrounding the patio for further enjoyment. (the couch on the Veranda corner is Charlie’s) hahahaha!

Indoors, you'll have access to the Gym, Snooker table, a grand dining Salon with a mirror table for 24 people adorned with a chandelier crafted from colorful Mannequins (my son does this kind of things) two living rooms with fireplaces, a library, a Grand Piano, a PlayStation 5 with connected with a Movie Projector (it has Playstation Premium PLUS account with several games installed), and the entire Villa is adorned with antiques and unique decorations, some bought in museums.

You can freely move inside and outside of the palace every day of the week, at any time!!

The only restriction is access to the bedrooms and suites, which are secured with different door codes.

However, all the public areas are available for my esteemed guests to enjoy, as if they were at their own house. My Palace is your Home now!

The only thing I ask is to keep the public areas clean and respect the more quiet time after 10 PM.

During your stay
You have self-check-in with a code to use on the smart lock, so you can check-in by yourself at ANY time of the day you wish, after 3PM.. And you will receive a check-in video as well, so you can learn how to use the house and the smart features. This means you can enjoy your stay without ever needing to see me.

However, I am always available to assist, chat, and interact with my guests (I actualy enjoy that, my son as well). Additionally, I have a private chef who can prepare breakfast upon request, organize dinners, offer cooking classes, and serve the Forbes-winning Sangria, which you can order on the Sintra WOW site.

Whatever you need, I'm here to help you out :)

Other things to note
FIRST: You will have Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video, Disney Play and Apple TV for free! All these streaming services are already logged in your TV

SECOND: In the Palace you might find my dog CHARLIE, it's not a dog, it's kinda of a "Horse", Charlie is a gigantic Great Dane (Scooby-Doo), but he suffers from Gigantism, so he might be the biggest dog you will ever seen. He weights 91kg, (198 pounds), BUT, he is the Sweetest most amazing Dog ever, you can pet him, and take him with you to your bed for a sleep over. Never be afraid of Charlie please, he plays with babies, kittens and he's the best Dog in the world!


THIRD: I provide a variety of experiences and add-ons for all my guests, available through Sintra WOW, including:

Sangria Jars (One of them was featured in Forbes)

Where you’ll be

Sintra, Lisboa, Portugal

Sintra is the most MAGICAL place in all Portugal! This Stay is nestled right in the heart of Historical Sintra, in literally 8 minutes BY FOOT you are in the Sintra National Palace, and in the middle of the Historical Village. Sintra is a UNESCO World Heritage site. And my Palace Suites, Chapel and Tiny House accommodations are infused with the rich tapestry of Portuguese history and culture, with a touch of Technology!

Located amidst the charming, winding streets of this historic town, the house is a stone's throw away from the enchanting Moorish Castle, approximately 600 meters away, and just 1.6 km from the magnificent Pena National Palace​​.

Why did I choose this neighborhood? Sintra isn't just a town; it's an immersive experience, a journey into Portugal's majestic past. It's where you can explore centuries-old palaces, castles, and gardens that narrate tales of the captivating epochs they've witnessed.

The neighborhood offers an unbeatable blend of natural beauty, history, and architectural marvels. It's here, in the heart of it all, that I've chosen to make my home, and I couldn't be more excited to share it with you.

Waking up in this neighborhood is akin to flipping through the pages of a storybook each day. From the window, the historic town of Sintra unfurls beneath you, with its traditional Portuguese buildings adorned in soft hues of yellow and white.

The air is crisp, clean, and the tranquil silence is occasionally punctuated by the distant ring of a tram bell, serving as a reminder that you're residing in a town that beautifully harmonizes its historic allure with the rhythms of modern life.

A leisurely stroll from the doorstep will lead you to the iconic Moorish Castle, proudly perched atop a hill, offering sweeping vistas of the town and the surrounding countryside.

A bit further lies the Pena National Palace, a stunning architectural masterpiece boasting a fusion of various styles and vibrant colors, providing a visual feast for the senses.

These are the sights that greet me every day, and they never fail to captivate.

What I cherish most about the neighborhood is its equilibrium. It exudes peace and tranquility, yet it's never lacking in excitement. Every corner holds a piece of history waiting to be unearthed.

But beyond that, it's a lively town with a dynamic culinary scene, charming cafes, and local boutiques showcasing Portuguese craftsmanship. It's the kind of place where neighbors exchange greetings on narrow cobblestone streets, fostering a sense of community and warmth that truly makes it feel like home.

Furthermore, the neighborhood's strategic location provides convenient access to a plethora of Sintra's renowned attractions. From the impeccably preserved Sintra National Palace and the mystical Quinta da Regaleira with its enigmatic tunnels, to the exotic Monserrate Palace with its splendid botanical garden, and the picturesque coastal village of Azenhas do Mar, all are easily accessible and offer unique experiences​​.

This is more than just a neighborhood; it's a place where each day feels like a voyage through a captivating and diverse landscape of history, architecture, and culture. It's a place I am proud to call home and one I am eager to share with you.

A place where the past and present coexist harmoniously, crafting a symphony of experiences that will linger with you long after your visit has concluded. Welcome to my neighborhood, welcome to Sintra WOW.
