Overview

Pool Modern Ideal for Kids Hot Tub Walk to Village

Nestled in a peaceful haven, in the hills overlooking the Portuguese town of Sintra lies Villa Mercator. This contemporary villa is simply stunning and boasts two private swimming pools, a spa, gym and wonderful private location while only being a short drive from the capital city of Lisbon.

Villa Mercator is located in a UNESCO cultural heritage site, and thus there is plenty of historical attractions to visit during your stay. The villa stands out thanks to its modern architecture and refined style with large bay windows allowing light to flood the rooms and huge landscaped wooded garden.

The villa can accommodate eight guests in 4 stunning bedrooms, all located on the ground floor. There is an ultra-modern kitchen with all the modern conveniences and an open-plan living and dining room with doors leading out to the pool terrace.

The basement boasts a tranquil spa with a swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna and gym! The large windows and sliding doors allow the spa to be used all year round and brings the outdoors in. The villa also has a beautiful spacious loft with a cosy home cinema to watch a good film, a study and relaxation area where you can lie back and stargaze.

The outdoor space is simply divine with a large infinity swimming pool running the whole length of the villa. A wooded garden provides guests with plenty of privacy and tranquillity. There is also a barbecue and dining terrace to enjoy al fresco dining.

Although the villa is located in a quiet situation, stroll only a short distance to the town of Sintra, drive to the fabulous sandy beaches and make sure you visit the fantastic capital city of Lisbon!

Villa Mercator is situated in a UNESCO cultural heritage site in the wonderful town of Sintra. Sintra is teeming with castles, magnificent properties and culture.

Next to the villa is the Castelo Dos Mouros battlement, a fortress built in the 18th century during the Islamic conquest. On a neighbouring hill, 10 km from the villa is the Palacio da Pena, an extravagant palace built according to Ferdinand de Saxe-Coburg-Gotha's romantic fantasies.

Located in the old neighbourhoods, the Quinta de Regaleira, a mysterious building with fabulous gardens is worth a visit. Tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and the Serra de Sintra hills, the Sintra province enjoys an exceptional climate that encourages the luxurious vegetation. If nature lovers can’t wait to see the magnificent panorama from the Sintra-Cascais Nature Park’s pathways, lazy types will be just as eager to lie on Praia Grande’s fine sand, only 5km away. Despite its perfect location, Sintra isn’t isolated, and the town is 30km from Lisbon, with the closest airport, and 75km from Setubal.

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!
