Are you ready to feel special? You certainly will at this luxury villa in the Portuguese resort town of Sintra. Its location is famous as a retreat for the country’s royals and you’ll feel every inch a monarch when you’re laying out by the heated saltwater pool, bubbling away in the secluded woodland hot tub or dining outdoors with the exceptional views across to the Sintra mountains and famous yellow Pena Palace. Inside the home, you’ll find superior entertainment like a wide-screen smart TV with a home cinema sound system, table tennis, pool table and table football. There are also creative spaces, like the book-lined study with its classical guitar should you want to try your hand at a Fado number. Multiple corner sofas, both inside and out, provide myriad places to lounge with your subjects, friends and family, while the opulent velvet furnishings, marble decor and modern art complete the palatial ambience.
