Located half way between the historical town of Sintra, home of the former Portuguese monarchy, and the seaside towns of Cascais and Estoril, Penha Longa is ideal for exploring the area. Wander through the quaint streets of Sintra’s old town, visit the Moorish sites or relax in the romantic gardens of Monserrat palace. Sintra is positioned overlooking a vast area around Lisbon, a likely residence for kings and queens. Drive down to the coast and you will find unspoilt beaches, including Guincho which is famous for surfing, or the unexplored Adraga. Finally, just a short distance from the house is Portugal’s capital city of Lisbon, which provides for a great day out, knowing that you can return in the evening to the relaxing gardens of Casa de São Marçal.
