Quinta do Scoto has a long historic past, having been visited by many of the Portuguese Royal families. Napoleon's Army camped in the grounds during their invasion, attracted by the extensive water supplies, aquaducts and stone irrigation tanks. The Quinta, located in the village of Melecas, is within walking distance of 4 cafes and 4 restaurants. A train station in the village provides links to Lisbon and Sintra. Sintra is a 10 minute journey by car and a vast selection of beaches can be found within a 1/2 hour drive. Breakfast is served in the Entrada and comprises freshly baked bread, cereals, fresh fruit, cheese, ham, freshly squeezed orange juice, tea and coffee. If guests prefer, a basket of breakfast goodies can be delivered to their room for them to enjoy either in the comfort of their suite or at one of the many stone tables in the grounds of the Quinta.
