Location & History
Penha Longa Edition is located between Lisbon and Cascais, within the Sintra‑Cascais Natural Park — one of the most prestigious areas in Portugal. Known for its natural beauty and historical significance, it is a region that blends landscape, tradition and exceptional quality of life. Today, Penha Longa is recognised as a place of excellence where leisure, sports, gastronomy and culture converge.
In the 14th century, Penha Longa became home to a monastery founded by the Hieronymite Order. The peaceful, nature‑surrounded setting made it ideal for monastic life — a retreat for monks seeking privacy and tranquillity. Later, the Marquis of Marialva transformed the estate into a noble property with remarkable gardens and architecture, turning it into a prestigious destination among European aristocracy. Today, Penha Longa continues to honour its heritage, now aligned with a modern and active lifestyle.
Located within the Sintra‑Cascais Natural Park, Penha Longa Edition is just 30–40 minutes from Lisbon’s city centre and airport. The area offers a serene environment with easy access to international schools, golf courses, renowned restaurants and beaches such as Praia da Adraga, Praia Grande and Praia das Maçãs.
The Penha Longa Resort, operated by Ritz‑Carlton, includes an 18‑hole golf course, a 9‑hole course, hotel, spa and 7 restaurants — 2 of them Michelin‑starred.
“Quinta da Penha Longa is one of the last extraordinary places on the border between Cascais and Sintra. We designed a project of family homes within the mountain landscape — like the traditional summer houses of Cascais and Estoril or the eclectic revivalist villas of Sintra — homes adapted to the steep terrain, overlooking the mountains, the golf course and the sea. Each house is a small citadel of volumes, like those of Pena, in shapes, colours and styles that create a place of refuge, sometimes panoramic, sometimes intimate. To reach them, one must cross the Quinta. Among the trees, we discover ancestral paths that have become part of our garden.”
