I converted my 300 years Chapel, into a Coozy & Luxurious Technological Home, in the historic center, the best Sintra Location! Includes 1 RARE parking at the door! With 3 large TV's, PS5, Virtual Reality Games, Karaoke, PacMan machine, and very, VERY comfy Beds. A full equipped Smeg Kitchen. All areas have Smart Speakers, you can control music and light colors with your voice. You also have access to my Palace next door, with snooker, hottub, patios and meet Charlie, my giant Dog (scooby doo)

The space
The 300 years old smart Chapel is entirely private for you, with a private entrance door directly from the historic streets of Sintra! Simply put the code, and voila, you're in.

It's incredibly cozy with a funky decor, and museum paintings and art! It has 2 great Bedrooms, with flat screen TV's and smart voice activtation speakers that you can play any music with by asking with your voice or change the light colors everywhere " Hey, change my room to Red and play Barry White! " for example :) There's a fully equiped Smeg Kitchen with a coffee machine, microwave, kettle, fridge and freezer, stove and oven, all the cutlery, plates, glasses, and a delightfully luxurious marble bathroom with a big shower, also with smart speakers commanding it to change to play the Rolling Stones while you enjoy a hot shower!

The beds are both big, super comfortable, with four premium pillows each, both bedrooms have windows, Heaters and a portable AC, it's perfect for 4 people to have the best time possible in Sintra. Walking distance to everywhere due to its prime location!

In the living room, you'll also find a PlayStation 5 with 4 remotes, the new Virtual Reality set game, with premium PS5 plus account full of games installed, a 85" flat Smart 4K Samsung TV, with colorful lights that respond to your voice commands, and a round table for 4 people to eat.

You have an Air purifier, a Dehumifier and an Eletrical fireplace!

Undoubtedly, the best part of booking our Smart Chapel is that you will have access to the Palace next door where I live, and you can use all the public areas, at any time of the day, like the house was yours. Play some snooker, go to the HotTub, play mini-golf, play pour Long Piano, turn on our Exterior Movie Projector, meet my dog Charlie (a gigantic great dane, don't be afraid of him!) And much more!

Guest access
Exclusively for you, you have private access to 1 Free Private Parking Spot, the full Chapel, the 2 Bedrooms, 1 full Bathroom, 1 Kitchen, a Living Room with Dinning area, a small exterior with patio with a BBQ and a Table with 2 chairs and 2 benches.

However, when booking the Smart Chapel, you'll receive the code for the smart lock granting access to all the public areas of the 300-year-old palace right next door, just a 10-second walk away or less.

I also rent suites and bedrooms here on Airbnb within the palace.

The palace features a large patio with a hot tub, mini-golf, a giant chess game, and numerous seating areas to relax, swing, dine, or read a book. Additionally, there's a massive outdoor movie projector and a veranda surrounding the patio for further enjoyment.

Indoors, you'll have access to the gym, snooker table, a grand dining room salon with a mirror table for 24 people adorned with a chandelier crafted from mannequins, two living rooms with fireplaces, a library, and the entire villa is adorned with antiques and unique decorations, some procured from museums.

You can freely move inside and outside of the palace every day of the week, at any time, as I reside there! The only restriction is access to the bedrooms and suites, which are secured with different codes. However, all the public areas are available for my esteemed guests to enjoy at their leisure.

Other things to note
You have free Netflix, HBO Max, Disney Plus, Prime-Video and Apple TV for free! All these streaming services are already logged-in all TV's

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.
