A 100-year-old Farmhouse at Penedo,Sintra. Amazing belvedere overlooking the hill and the ocean-
At the top of the `Monte da Lua`, the perfect home in one of the most enchanting forests and near
the most beautiful beaches in Portugal. This two-storey house is almost 70 years old but has
recently been fully restored, in a genuine combination of natural granite, teak and mahogany, fitting
extraordinarly in the area.
A generous lounge area with fireplace, divided by more windows than any other room, with plenty
of sunlight throughout the day, provides a view over the magnificent terrace and the pool.
There are two cozy guest rooms, ideal for children or visitors, inspired in the portuguese
architecture; also 3 magnificent en suite bedrooms (Family Suite, the Garden Suite and Terrace
Suite), with amazing views over the beaches and Sintra.
The fully equipped kitchen has quality wood furniture; there are 4 bathrooms.
The terrace is a real viewpoint and the garden features 5 small decorative ponds with waterfalls and
colorful fish and a great wood bank, cut on a single mahogany trunk. One of the architectural
highlights of the house is the elevation of an outdoor stone platform with a beautiful heated pool, in
the middle of some of the tallest pines of the surrounding mountains.
Underneath this platform you find a large area for storage, services, equipment and machinery to
support the house keeping.
This interesting villa is situated at the top of Penedo, the most traditional village of Sintra,
strategically located on a high spur amidst mountains.
Its origin is not very well defined but some authors point to the reference to Penedo in the 16th
century, more specifically in 1527. Less than 5 km from the coast and at an altitude of 218 meters, 9
km from Sintra and 18 Km from Cascais, the access is made from Sintra by EN 247 direction Sintra-
Colares - Almoçageme. GPS coordinates 38.791079, -9.454341, near Cabo da Roca, the
westernmost point of Europe, where the land ends and the sea begins.
