Solar do Magoito

This luxury villa is set within the Sintra natural conservation area on the outskirts of Magoito, which is a small village that offers a glimpse of rural Portugal. Built in the early 1900's, this estate formerly had wine production. The manor house set on appr. 11000 sqm of land. It is secluded and private. Sintra town is a fifteen minute drive and Lisbon can be reached within half an hour by car. Magoito´s beautiful sandy beach can be reached within a ten minute walk from the villa. The estate was undertaken complete renovation in 2005. There are two cottages (opened accordingly to the number of persons booked) and a chapel attached to the main house. All buildings have been lovingly restored by the new owner using the best materials and maintaining the feel and charm of an old farmhouse while providing modern comforts and luxury. The original wine press has been turned into an entertainment room with a pool table and flatscreen TV. The original hand-painted tiles throughout the villa have been kept and beautifully restored. The water well has been glassed over and is a feature in one of the bathrooms in the main house. The decor is simple with neutral coloured sofas and discreet artworks on a combination of broad beamed wooden and tiled flooring, with exposed bricks and high beamed ceilings giving a relaxing atmosphere that is reminiscent of years gone by. The tennis court and swimming pool have shaded seating areas where you can dine al fresco or simply relax in the landscaped gardens.
