Located in the breathtaking Sintra-Cascais natural park, and only forty minutes from Lisbon by car, this home has the best of both worlds. Hikes and mountain biking in the forest or along the rocky coastline are all possible directly from the house, and you can walk to the nearest restaurant and beach which is a real plus. We'd also recommend a visit to the royal sanctuary of Sintra for beautiful architecture and panoramic views of the surrounding area – only twenty minutes away. The house itself feels rustic yet grand, and it honours Portuguese design traditions with plenty of original features. Wood panelling and colourful azulejos create a cosy vibe, while the local artwork and in-house library collection make the space feel friendly and familiar. You'll feel at home here in no time – especially with a dip in the spectacular swimming pool immersed in the manicured gardens.

About Lisbon
Lisbon glows with light, sitting on top of seven hills that catch and reflect the sun, making the whole capital dazzle. It’s also a city of colour, with its vibrant yellow trams, terracotta rooftops and azulejo facades. As Europe’s second oldest city, Lisbon vibrates to the echoes of its past but it has taken vast strides to become a capital of cool, a city known for its grit and grandeur...

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed by a business on behalf of its owner. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
