CASA DO VALLE

Casa do Valle is a relaxing, green Bed and Breakfast in the Historical Center of Sintra, as well as your point of reference for walking and hiking in the Sintra - Cascais Natural Park. With 11 rooms, we are large enough to cater for small groups and small enough to be intimate. We organize activities for our guests (such as yoga, shinrin yoku, mountain biking, wine tasting and paragliding), and have strong, sustainable values.

The beaches of Sintra

- March 17, 2013

Praia da Ursa (Updated in January 2021) Sintra is not primarily a beach destination, but it does have some great beaches. Golden sand, beautiful round stones, and magnificent cliffs. Surfing, tanning, walking. Great restaurants, dinosaur footprints, paragliding, and fishing. Attention though - the beaches are Atlantic beaches, so the water is not as warm as the Mediterranean ones in the Algarve - and the waves are stronger and more dangerous as well. The long Atlantic Walk (GR11) passes on the cliffs over all of these beaches. I will start from the Southern most beaches and work my way up. Here is a short 2-minute introduction video to the beaches: Praia da Ursa - (Our cover foto) The double arches resembled a bear, giving the beach its name (Ursa=Bear) The southernmost of Sintra beaches got its name from a double arch that used be on the beach resembling a bear sculpted by a giant. The beach is accessible by foot only, o...

Chalet Biester - the film set for Johnny Depp's 'Ninth Gate'

- November 13, 2012

Just a bit above the village, in our view, there is a mansion called Chalet Biester. Its black roof with turquoise trimming causes a lot of questions and awakes the curiosity of many Sintra visitors. No, it cannot be visited; yes, it is a private house. No, I don't know who lives there now; yes, it is where the Roman Polanski thriller ' The Ninth Gate' was filmed, starring Johnny Depp. There and a bit of everywhere in Sintra. The Chalet Biester as seen from our pool, circled in red Chalet Biester photographed from the Casa da Vista deck Ernesto Biester, a Portuguese journalist and playwright of German origin, famous in his time, ordered this mansion to be built in around 1880 from the architect José Luis Monteiro. Its interior was conceived by the famous Italian that worked on Quinta da Regaleira, also in Sintra, and the sceneries of La Scala Opera in Milano, and theater São Carlos in Lisbon: Luigi Manini...

Abandoned houses

- June 19, 2010

When you walk around Sintra and Lisbon you cannot but notice and wonder about some beautiful old buildings that look like they are abandoned and/or falling apart. It saddens many to see the potential of these houses going to waste just sitting there with broken or boarded up windows, roof half falling and the garden overgrown. Right across the street from us there is one such building and a few times a week I tell people the story of it. As the high fencing and basketball hoop lets you guess, it was 'Escola Academica' still about 20 years ago when we were building and moved here; a small private school. Once a beautiful building, full of life, the school mistress retired, the school lost its license, and for awhile after the death of the old school mistress, a family lived there with no rights to rental. When they were successfully evicted, we thought the house would be soon sold and were looking forward to new neighbors - with no luck until today. Many people wanted to...
