Stepping into Sintral Perk feels like entering a sanctuary suspended between nature and modern living. The interior design is contemporary with a gentle nod to Scandinavian simplicity—think clean lines, natural textures, and a focus on space and light. The design is clean and modern, with vast windows that let in natural light and frame the surrounding trees.
The main floor has three of the villa’s five bedrooms, including the master suite which features its own sauna. Each room opens out onto a shared balcony with wide views across the hills and rooftops of Sintra.
The living room is open plan, with a fireplace, generous seating, and glass doors that slide away to connect the indoors with the garden and pool outside. It’s an easy, relaxed space where everything flows together ideal for spending time with family or friends. Just next to it, the dining area and fully equipped kitchen offer everything you need for meals at home, with views that make even breakfast feel special.
Head downstairs and you’ll find two more bedrooms, both with direct access to a private terrace and the garden path that leads back up to the pool. Outside, the heated pool is surrounded by sun loungers, a shaded dining area, and space to sit and unwind. It’s quiet, peaceful, and surrounded by nature—yet just a few minutes from Sintra’s historic sites and the coast.

Outstanding Landscapes
Sintral Perk sits in a peaceful, green pocket of Sintra, surrounded by forested hills and with sweeping views that stretch all the way to the iconic Moors Castle perched on the ridge. The villa is just a few kilometres from the heart of Sintra, a town famed for its fairytale palaces, romantic gardens, and centuries-old monuments. Within a short drive, you’ll find the colourful Palácio da Pena, the mystical Quinta da Regaleira, and the grand Palácio Nacional—each offering a glimpse into the region’s rich royal history.
Nearby, charming cafés, bakeries and local restaurants serve up traditional Portuguese dishes, while small markets and shops provide everything you need for your stay. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore forest trails, bike routes, or take a quick 12-minute drive to reach the golden beaches of the Atlantic coast. Whether you’re here for history, nature, or simply to unwind, everything is close at hand.

The Region
Thinking about packing your bags and heading off to Portugal? Why not give Colares a go? A real gem of a place, it’s one of the best spots on the Lisbon Coast for a holiday. Colares is absolutely delightful and has long been a very popular summer resort.
In the environs of Colares are the beaches of Praia das Maças, Praia Grande and Adraga, and the typical village of Azenhas do Mar, with its whitewashed houses inset in the side of a cliff.
Colares is also a demarcated wine-growing region, producing the very popular and increasingly rare Colares wine, which can be tasted at the Adega Regional, in a very beautiful building in the town centre.
ABOUT THE LISBON COAST
The Lisbon Coast is a sensational stretch of golden beaches, wave-lashed cliffs and vibrant seaside towns – but there's more to the Atlantic coastline than that. Delve beneath the surface to discover hidden coves, family-owned seafood restaurants and pristine natural parks.
The coast around Lisbon provides an easy, breezy escape from the capital, whose proximity has made it the stomping ground of kings for the last 1,000 years. In summer, Lisboistas stream into elegant Comporta and Cascais to escape the heat of the city; year-round, surfers hang loose on the coast, waiting for the rollers to crash down on the sand.
But while you're enjoying one of our fantastic villas on Lisbon Coast, you may well want to take some time out from all that sun worship to explore everything else the region has to offer – so we've put together this handy travel guide to give you a little help and inspiration!
