Tivoli Palácio de Seteais

We absolutely love Tivoli! We shot luxury elopement there & it was fabulous! The service they showed us & our couple was fantastic. The rooms were stunning + extremely photogenic, our favorite is of course the piano room & all the details of each area! It’s just a great place for an elopement & wedding. It’s impossible to be disappointed!

We definitely recommend this to all our couples!

Stayed at this hotel many years ago with my husband for a romantic getaway. It was stunning with beautiful wall murals and the bedroom was exquisite and very befitting of a Palace. It is only accessible by car as it is not walking distance to the centre of Sintra. Would highly recommend if you want to experience a romantic stay in the closest hotel to a palace.

One of the top ten hotels I’ve stayed at in my life. Beautiful, great service, amenities, great food. The restaurant is beautiful with fresh flowers everywhere. I loved the nespresso machine in the room so much I bought one when I got home. When you arrive in your room there are delicious small treats. The building is historic and the pool has a beautiful view. There are sights nearby and you can walk to town.

Queena tea time on Valentine’s Day. Service is awesome as always and the tea time food and champagne are highly recommended. Especially with fire stove nearby. ❤💓 Very good experience.

We loved our stay at Tivoli Palacio. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Our room was majestic. The breakfast was amazing. We highly recommend planning on a big breakfast at the hotel and a light lunch or snack elsewhere. The general spread was delicious and they constantly ask and offer to make more custom to your order. They offered us complimentary portions wine in our room.

My only complaint is that our room was facing the central square and it’s a popular destination for tourists so it could get quite loud outside our window and the tour groups seemed oblivious to that fact that guests stay there. But that was mostly during the afternoon and evening.

It’s also a little tricky driving. If you miss the last turn, you can end up with another 25 minute drive to loop back around.

We had a beautiful view of Pena Palace and Mouros.

I can not say enough positive things about this place and the staff. Just wow. I travel on AMEX points. Within two days of my 7 day stay, the entire staff knew my name, what I liked and ensured I was always taken care of. Room 3 is amazing. This is a true Palace. Congrats to everyone who runs and works at this fabulous establishment.

We stayed here for a wedding, and everything was flawless. The staff were all exceptionally professional, knowledgeable about local restaurants, historic sites, and things to do. The views were absolutely incredible, and the property was well maintained.

In particular, the front desk staff and the bartender went above and beyond for all of us. They made this a true 5-star hotel experience.

My expectations were exceeded with every staff interaction. I highly recommend booking travel to this property!

Wow is the 1st word that comes to mind when describing this luxurious place.
The view, the service, the food, the catering, the ambient music, the stairs, the corridors, the dining rooms. Trully a piece of art.

I didn't stay overnight at the hotel, but I went to the Spa. I have been to spas all over the world, and I can't recommend this one enough. It was amazing. I got the jetlag relief service with Magdalena, which was a scrub, massage, and mini facial. She made me feel so special and relaxed, and I floated out of the Spa.

The Spa doesn't have amenities like a steam room, etc., but it feels so nice and private. The treatment rooms are luxurious and modern, and I got to sit out on the terrace and enjoy the view with a cup of tea that was prepared for me before my service. After my service, I was able to walk through and enjoy the gardens. I did not want to leave. I can't recommend this Spa and Magdalena enough.

Obsessed with this place. Can’t wait to come back. It was a magical start to our trip. The staff was so friendly and in a great arena close to everything!

Just wow…
I spent two nights in the wonderful palace and had my small wedding in their garden.
The team is just absolutely lovely. They are so kind and helpful, each and everyone of them. The location is astoundingly beautiful.
I want to give special thanks to Joana, Diana and Marianne. You were too kind.
The food, gardens and pool are lovely too.

Definitely coming back here.
Kind regards,

Romy

One can visit their grounds and gardens for free!

We were extended a very warm welcome by the staff at the entrance to the palace and were escorted to the cafe / restaurant.

The interiors transform you to a magical pastel and candy shade ambiance. Very romantic and perfect for our 31st Anniversary high tea!

Their hot chocolate was delicious and their espresso perfect! Accompanied by complimentary delicate chocolate and pastries !

We walked around their elegant interiors and common areas and the exterior lemon orchards surrounding the sparkling blue pools overlooking the Atlantic Ocean!

Great location in the heart of the mountain, cosy and well maintained place.
Staff is friendly but the housekeepingshoil try to be more silent.
Lots of activities to do nearby.

We absolutely loved having our dream wedding at Palácio de Seteais. The staff at the hotel, especially Raquel and Ana are absolutely amazing and helped make our stay so special. We ended up having a tented wedding which wasn’t typical and they ensured it all went smoothly. Service was unparalleled. The grounds are beyond stunning, the food and drinks were some of the best we’ve ever had. We truly felt at home during our wedding weekend. Our guests can not stop raving and continue to say it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. Thank you so much for everything you did for us! Can’t wait to come back and visit…it will forever be a special place for us <3

Beautiful rooms in a historical palace built in the 18th century (though don’t expect anything like Versailles). Very serene with the surrounding forest and view of Sintra. Within waling distance to the town and Quinta da Regaleira. We booked the superior double room with valley view and was gifted with a private terrace, the room was fairly big. The staff were incredible and we felt exactly as though we were the masters of the house. An incredible mountain retreat experience.

We stopped off for lunch - the food was fantastic and the service was exceptional - the wait staff/concierge were above and beyond. Highly recommended the Sete AI’s for lunch. We will stay here the next time we are in town.

Wonderful hotel. Great staff. Lovely atmosphere. Only hiccup: the a la carte dinner menu items are tiny and the prices don‘t make sense compared to the prefix menu. Nevertheless a fantastic stay and would absolutely recommend to friends.

My wife and I got married at this beautiful hotel this month. The stunning grounds and history of the building surpassed our expectations. This coupled with the attentive and considerate service of the staff made our stay all the more special. We would in particular like to mention the events team Raquel and Margarida who ensured that the day would run smoothly and were able to troubleshoot effectively when some aspects of the wedding did not go as planned. Thank you. We will most definitely return in the future.

You might think you will miss some facilities such as a gym and sauna, but I'm sure this Palace will make it up to you. With a lovely garden, delightful bedrooms, good food, and beautiful spaces for you to unwind, read, talk and work. The spa is a must-do, with an outstanding staff (Thanks Ana Beatriz) and good products. To be fair, the entire staff is helpful and friendly.

I don't believe I have anything negative to say about my stay here; you must remember you're staying at a world heritage site.

The weather in Sintra will not be helpful most of the year, but the rain will not make the experience less enjoyable, and romance is always in the air around this town. P.S. do not forget to try the Portuguese pastry 'travesseiro de Sintra'.

If you're visiting Sintra, be sure to visit it. Perhaps because I stayed in the off-season, the hotel was rented out like a palace. There are a lot of ingredients in the big hall. Breakfast for just the two of you. It's a very good memory. There are many people who stay in Lisbon, but it is not bad to relax from Sintra.
