Mixed reports: one serious housekeeping lapse (staff entered without knocking, towels not changed) and other guests report satisfactory cleanliness.
Service
9.8
Generally praised — many reviews call staff gracious and friendly and the reception director made a conciliatory gesture; however there are notable complaints about reception responsiveness and isolated poor service incidents.

Consistently highlighted as excellent — very good location close to Sintra center and lovely setting for walking/hiking.

Several mentions of small, dated bathrooms, worn fixtures, chipped bathtub, broken toilet seat and tepid water; some guests still found rooms peaceful and attractive.
Amenities
9.8
Spa and outdoor dining spaces are praised and seen as standouts; some functional issues noted (hot water/plumbing, shaver-only plug), but overall amenities receive strong positive mentions.

Mixed — a number of guests felt the price did not match the experience (one guest explicitly called it poor value), while others enjoyed meals and the setting and found the stay worthwhile.

Divided: several guests reported poor or cold breakfast and low-quality coffee, while others had very good meals; overall food sentiment trends slightly negative-to-mixed.

A melhorar, não só em pormenores.
Pros:

A localização é excelente, embora o estacionamento seja difícil. O ambiente é muito acolhedor e simpático.

Cons:

O pequeno-almoço podia ser mais variado e a qualidade da cozinha pode melhorar bastante. Por vezes, a fruta sabia a pouco fresco, não havia iogurte grego e a ementa variou muito pouco ou nada. As umbreiras das janelas não são limpas, e fiquei com a sensação de que a casa de banho não era bem limpa. Por vezes, deixaram a porta do quarto aberta e só ao sexto dia, dos 15, mudaram os lençóis da cama. Fizeram uma grande confusão com as toalhas de duas pessoas, por serem todas iguais.

Pessimo, não vale um real do investimento
Pros:

Camareira entrou no quarto sem bater na porta com nós sem roupa e pediu para nos retirarmos para ela limpar! Limpou de qualquer maneira, não trocou toalhas e nem colocou amenities

Cons:

Serviço

Would love to come back and stay longer
Pros:

Room was beautiful and peaceful. The grounds surrounding the hotel are lovely. We also had three wonderful meals. The staff is very gracious and friendly. The only negative I might have is a lack of really hot water. Wished we had stayed a few more days.
