Hotel Tivoli Palacio de Seteais, Sintra, Portugal - Reviews and Hotel Information

At the end of the 18th Century, Daniel Gildemeester, at that time consul for Holland in Portugal, acquired lands of «ginjais e serrados» at the limits of Sintra, where he had a building erected in the classic style and various out buildings. In 1800, the Quinta de Seteais was bought by D. Diogo of Noronha, 5th Marquis de Marialva, who added that part of the building to the collection, also of neoclassical influence.
Later on, commemorating the visit of Regent Prince D. João and of D. Carlota Joaquina, put Francisco Leal Garcia in charge of planning and building a superb triumphal arch that links the two buildings. The interior of the Seteais palace, currently a hotel, is distinguished by magnificent frescos, of intense and pure chromatic lines that cover some rooms, attributable to the famous painter Jean Pillement. In the backyard, pockmarked with holes in the ground, is a box tree garden, of which dazzling landscape dominates from the ocean all the way up to the Saloian plain.
