one strange hotel
Nestled in-between Sintra magnificent hills, on Estrada do Rodízio by Praia Grande, it’s the kind of place that beckons when the city starts to feel too small, too tight—when the workweek spills uninvited into the weekend. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision to run away, fueled by grainy Instagram photos that promised an escape, a quiet doorway to someplace beautifully unfamiliar or maybe once known but forgotten. In the end, Sintra is always the right getaway.
Owned by Mikkel, Marqí is somewhat hideaway, somewhat hypnotic experience — a place lures you in with an atmosphere so meticulously crafted it almost feels cult-like.

No matter the season — whether the cliffs are cloaked in mist or bathed in sunlight—Aethos always carries its own magic.
In the background waves crash tirelessly against the rocks below, and the wind hums its ancient melody. The air is rich with the briny scent of salt. With a book in hand and a cup of coffee cradled close, I lose myself in the ocean’s rhythm, cuddled on the terrace. Each sip grounds me, each moment dissolves into pure serenity.
But Aethos is more than...
