Historical mansion Chalet Relogio was designed by Italian architect Luigi Manini, who also planned the Escala in Milan. Under a new management and recently renovated, the hotel features rustic accommodations overlooking Sintra’s Valley and the Moorish castle. All of Relogio’s rooms feature recessed, paneled windows with internal shutters. Parquet floors covered with tapestries and wooden furnishings provide a historic feel to the rooms. Some rooms also feature a fireplace. When the weather allows, breakfast can be enjoyed on the balcony over the garden, taking in the view of the Hill of the Moon (Mount Sintra). Afterwards, the garden invites for a stroll on the property. Tea and coffee are served for free during the day in the breakfast room. Chalet Relogio is located within 5 minutes drive from the train station, within 1.2 mi of the historic Pena Palace. It is 2297 feet to the historical center of Sintra, with parking and WiFi both free of charge.
