For those searching for a location to settle down and live a life of luxury, there are few places better suited to this than the 'Portuguese Riviera', a stretch of coast that has even been home to several European royals in the last century. This week's property is a gorgeous villa just outside Cascais, on the westernmost edge of this famous stretch of coast. Here, with easy access to Cascais, and even Lisbon not so far away, you can still live a life of exceptional privacy, surrounded by greenery, from which you can enjoy everything the surrounding region has to offer, from fantastic beaches, to world famous sporting facilities, marinas, and the phenomenal Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. 

The villa is built over three floors, and offers over 500m2 of built space. The villa would make an excellent family home, with six large bedrooms and eight bathrooms in addition to the common living areas, and plenty of outdoor space to use as well, on a 1,625m2 plot of land, featuring cleanly maintained lawns, lots of trees and shrubs, a barbecue area, and a beautiful decked area surrounding the pool

Most of the property is built on the ground floor, and as you step into the home, through a spacious entry hall, to one side you will find the heart of the property, the communal spaces, while to the other side is a more private area. Heading into the communal space, we begin in the gorgeous living room. Comfortably furnished, filled with light from the different sets of french doors leading out to the gardens, and even with a fireplace set into one wall, this is the perfect place to sit and relax in your new home. Beside the living room there is a spacious dining room, again with a set of french doors out to the gardens, and beyond this is the oddly shaped but incredibly elegant kitchen, fully equipped with modern appliances, and dominated by the enormous island/breakfast bar in the centre of the space. Adjoining the kitchen there are also two pantries and a laundry room, with tons of storage space to use between them and we can also find a guest bathroom in this part of the house.

To the other side of the entry hall is the more private area of the ground floor, with most of the property's bedrooms. Here we can find the master suite, with a sizeable dressing room, en suite bathroom, and direct access to a private terrace outside, a second suite with en suite bathroom, and two more bedrooms and bathrooms. The property also has a small upper floor, where we can find a second small living room with access to a decked terrace, and an additional bathroom. There is also a floor under the ground floor, where we can find the last two of the property's bedrooms, each with en suite bathroom, as well as a games room/cinema, an additional storage area, and the garage. 

This beautiful property is an opportunity not to be missed. With tons of space to use, gorgeous fittings and finishings, and a beautiful pool and garden, it would make an amazing family home in the 'Portuguese Riviera'. The villa is currently for sale on idealista for 5,750,000 euros.
