The House Of The She Pine Tree

Welcome To The House Of The She Pine Tree!

A Museum House in a XIX Century Sintra Chalet.
The House of the She Pine Tree was built at the end of the XIX Century for a local farmers family, and expanded in the 30s, when it was redesigned to its Sintra Chalet looks.
It sits on the highground edge of the time forgotten villages of Sabugo and Vale de Lobo, in the county of the historic town of sintra (a Unesco World Heritage Site). The village rolls down the last west facing slope where the hills of Carregueira and Olela merge, with breathtaking views of the mountain of Sintra and its valley, with fabulous unlimited 270 degrees sunsets panoramas!
The sea from Guincho to Ericeira lies just behind the horizon.
The house was bought in the early sixties by the journalist, war reporter, radio and tv producer and speaker, painter, artist, award-wining novelist, theater and childrens stories writer, publicist, poet, antiquarian, art collector Olavo d Eca Leal (Vd. Bio).

In order to sustain its maintenance and support the conservation of the house and its collection, the house is operating as an inn/bed & breakfast, a non-profit charity.

About 300 metres away down the hill, but also enjoying amazing views of Sintra is our sister property: The Chapel House. Here you can enjoy total privacy by renting the Chapel House Apartment where you have access to a private parking and swimming pool.

Ring the bell and we will more than glad to help you unload your luggage and park your car!

Note: Check-in and breakfast for the Chapel House is also at The House of The She Pine Tree.

Check in: 15h (this can be earlier depending on occupancy of course)
