Villa In The Midst Of A Luxury Resort

This house is located in the central area of the "Quinta da Penha Longa Resort", along its east boundary lies the "Renaissance Fonte of S. Goncalo. The "Village da Fonte" is also very close to the historical heart of the resort, including the Country Club, Palace, Church, Monastery, Ritz Carlton Hotel with its restaurants, Fitness Gym & Six Sences Spa. The distances can easily be covered on foot from home.

From soft architectural lines inspired by the Classic Portuguese Architecture, the entry to the house is via the intermediate floor through a central landing of the stairs, with lots of natural light, dominated by the double height ceiling. Down the broad staircase, we reache the ground floor, where there are several spaces spread over two areas, the social occupying the eastern side, and a private area located to the west. The living room, spacious and bright, is punctuated by large "bow window" to establish strong visual contact with the exterior landscape of hills, gardens and pool. The fluidity of the space is marked by the use of furniture that allows you to create different environments for different experiences and thus highlighting the versatility and character to the space . Dominate are the soft colours of white and oak wood, which together with the clean lines of the furniture; emphasize the simplicity of the architecture. A large carved stone rustic wall in the famous "Sintra Limestone separates without completely dividing the living room and the kitchen area reinforcing once again the fluidity of the space. In the kitchen the unique design of the furniture and the materials chosen are perfect combined with the functionality provided by an independent connection to the outside / garden and the lobby of the main entrance. Adjacent to the kitchen you find a laundry room with storage area and a bedroom / suite" for the maid. The private area of the house is spread over two floors. Two bedrooms "suites" plus one single and a social wc., occupy the ground floor. On the upper floor, which is accessed from the landing through the entrance is the master suite. Here, the outside space is once again present by the large doors facing the garden and the balcony that allows the direct enjoyment of the Serra de Sintra landscape.

The leisure areas, balconies, terraces and walkways were executed in brick craftsmanship. The garden homes a "overflow" pool with coral pebble finishes. The perfectly slanted plot allows an interesting relationship between the implantation site of the house and pool area and lawn. Sun exposure is favourable as the house is facing east / west, enjoying privileged views of the Serra de Sintra. Located between the sea and hills and charismatic cities of Cascais and Sintra, Quinta da Penha Longa is by itself an important historical place. With 200 hectares of total area, its landscape has very particular characteristics; inserting the "Parque Natural de Sintra Cascais" protected area since 1995 and which also includes the exclusive list of World Heritage sites "WHC - World Heritage Convention", making part of the group known as "Cultural Landscape of Sintra". Benefiting from proximity to the Atlantic coast, "Praia do Guincho" and "Cabo da Roca" are just minutes away.
