Description
Palace in the historic center of Sintra, full of history and with a wonderful view from the Palácio da Vila to the sea. With 516 square meters of gross construction area, completely renovated, it is spread over three floors with eleven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. It is divided into two buildings - the main one with the social areas and bedroom area and the guest house and garage. The land, nestled into the mountainside, measures 2,238 square meters and is located a 5-minute walk from the historic center of Sintra. The houses were built in 1830 by the then Count of Saldanha, maternal grandson of the Marquis of Pombal, to establish his country house there. The current main body, called Casa Italiana, was designed by a well-known Italian architect and built by Italian artists who painted the frescoes that we can still see on the walls and ceilings of the house today. At the entrance, after a large hall, we find a large circular living room with vaulted ceilings with medieval and classical themed paintings and high glass shutters overlooking the garden. Through a passage with a glass wall overlooking the garden, we access the dining room with a painted wooden ceiling, the kitchen with an old stone floor and tiled chimney and the service area of ??the house. On the top floor we have the bedrooms, all with panoramic views. The guest house is completely independent from the main house, with a living room, dining room, kitchen and all bedrooms facing east. The garage has capacity for eight cars. The Palacete is 5 minutes from the historic center of Sintra, 10 minutes from international schools The American School in Portugal (TASIS) and Carlucci American International School of Lisbon (CAISL), 20 minutes from Cascais and 30 minutes from Lisbon international airport.
