House T12 in Sintra with electric car charging

Historic Palace with 18th-Century Gardens | Historic Centre of Sintra 

An exceptional historic property where history, architecture and nature come together in the heart of Sintra, within the Cultural Landscape of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Located on a quiet street with very little traffic, just 250 metres from Sintra National Palace, the property offers a peaceful and private setting. Set on a 1,045 sqm plot, with 459 sqm of private living area, it stands out for its distinctive architectural identity, remarkable gardens and truly privileged location, offering views over Quinta da Regaleira, the Sintra Valley and the Atlantic Ocean. Pena Palace and the Moorish Castle complete a landscape of rare beauty.

The property preserves the character and authenticity of Sintra's historic architecture, distinguished by Moorish influences and Romantic elements that define the town's cultural identity.

Fully renovated in 2022, the palace underwent a carefully considered restoration designed to respect its architectural heritage while combining historic charm with the comfort and requirements of contemporary living.

The residence offers a versatile layout, equally suited to use as a private residence or an exclusive boutique hospitality project.

• 12 en-suite bedrooms, each individually decorated with Moorish-inspired elements.
• Kitchen and breakfast area.
• Service areas and ancillary spaces.
• Restored former stables, now adapted as a reception area or lounge.
• Suites with access to private outdoor spaces, creating a privileged connection with the gardens.

The layout ensures privacy while allowing for a variety of distinct living environments, all while preserving the property's historic identity.

The interiors reveal a distinctive atmosphere, where Moorish-inspired decorative details, thoughtfully arranged spaces and the connection with the gardens give the property a truly unique character.

The terraces provide exceptional settings for enjoying breakfast outdoors and watching the sunset, with stunning, close-up views of Pena Palace and the Moorish Castle, extending towards the sea on the horizon.

One of the property's most extraordinary features is its historic garden, dating back to the 18th century — a true sanctuary of lush vegetation in the heart of Sintra.

With a tropical-inspired landscape design, the gardens feature tree ferns, century-old palm trees and several secluded areas for relaxation and contemplation.

The surrounding vegetation provides privacy and an atmosphere of serenity, creating a harmonious relationship between architecture and nature.

The heated swimming pool, complete with a waterfall, blends naturally into this setting, offering a private space for leisure and relaxation.

The gardens, outdoor pathways and various seating areas are among the property's most distinctive features, providing an experience that would be difficult to recreate in a contemporary residence.

Despite its historic character, the property benefits from modern facilities designed to ensure comfort and functionality:

• Pre-installation for air conditioning in every room.
• Heated swimming pool with waterfall.
• Drinking water storage tanks for greater autonomy.
• Wastewater recycling system for garden irrigation.
• Private parking for four vehicles.
• Infrastructure provision for electric vehicle charging.
• Central heating system with hot-water radiators, ensuring thermal comfort during the colder months.

These features further enhance the comfort, tranquillity and quality of life offered by the property.

The location is one of this property's greatest assets. Situated in the heart of Sintra, just 250 metres from the town centre, it offers convenient access to the area's most celebrated monuments, historic gardens, restaurants, traditional shops and iconic pastry shops, including Casa Piriquita.

Quinta da Regaleira, the National Palace of Sintra, the Moorish Castle and Pena Palace are all part of the extraordinary cultural and scenic surroundings.

Just a few kilometres away are some of the region's most iconic beaches, including Praia das Maçãs, Praia da Ursa and Praia do Magoito, as well as Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe.

The property also benefits from convenient connections to Cascais, Lisbon and Humberto Delgado International Airport.
