This extraordinary home on the Cascais Riviera blends sumptuous grandeur with bold, contemporary styling. Step into the octagonal, mahogany entrance hall and it’s immediately clear you are somewhere incredibly special. Each of the doors leads through to resplendent rooms. With its wood panelling, brick fireplace, and antique drinks trolley, the sultry drawing room is the perfect place to curl up on cosy evenings, sipping a cocktail and playing card games. This flows seamlessly into its perfect antithesis, the light, bright, modern living room, where you can kick back on the L-shaped sofa and admire the spectacular views of the sea through the sliding glass doors. The wraparound balcony boasts grand, pointed archways, stone colonnades and comfy outdoor seating, and is a lavish place to enjoy a glass of champagne or two when the sun sets. The six bedrooms are laid out across the first floor, with one in the converted attic. They have been designed with every comfort in mind, and five come with an en suite – we love the Wes Anderson worthy pink and mustard bathrooms. The main bedroom is the jewel in the crown of this home. With its wraparound glass windows, you’ll wake up every morning...Read more to panoramic views of the ocean.
