Description

Villa Dégaud, the 19th-century residence of the Counts of Penha Longa, stands proudly in the heart of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated as one of the five most romantic destinations in the world.

Nestled between the Sintra mountains and the Atlantic coast, this magnificent estate offers a life of refinement and serenity amid palaces, exotic gardens, and centuries-old forests. Once the favored summer retreat of European nobility, Sintra remains today a sanctuary of natural beauty and cultural prestige — and the residence of the Portuguese Crown Family.

Only 20 minutes from Lisbon and 15 minutes from Estoril and Cascais, Villa Dégaud offers effortless access to golden beaches, scenic hiking paths, and a vibrant cultural scene — from opera and jazz to contemporary art. The region is also a culinary haven, renowned for exquisite seafood and fine Atlantic cuisine.

An Exceptional Private Haven

Reimagined as a grand private estate, Villa Dégaud offers the perfect blend of historic prestige and modern comfort. With its generous proportions, lush gardens, and panoramic mountain views, the property is ideally suited for:

• A sumptuous family residence, rich in heritage and character.

• A private retreat or second home, combining tranquility with proximity to Lisbon.

• A space for art, culture, and entertaining, where history and elegance meet contemporary living.

The property’s architectural project has already been fully approved by the City Council, ensuring a seamless restoration process. The renovation may benefit from special funding programs, including low-interest financing and partial grants for rehabilitation — allowing you to transform this remarkable estate into your own masterpiece with ease and confidence.

Blending royal legacy with natural splendor, Villa Dégaud is more than a home — it is a timeless expression of beauty, history, and distinction in one of Europe’s most enchanting settings.
