Cocooned in a private garden, this home provides the ideal setting for a restorative coastal getaway. From here it’s less than 4 kilometres to Praia Grande beach, while local wineries, hiking trails and the majestic town of Sintra can also be found within easy reach. And while there is plenty to explore in the surroundings, this home has everything you could need to disconnect and recharge. From the private pool and tennis court to the games and children’s playground, it provides the perfect balance between family fun and total relaxation. It’s worth noting some of the furnishings are a little dated, but you will find plenty of space across the main house and the independent guest house – a great option for those in search of a little extra privacy.
