Every month, we open the doors to one of the many dream homes across Portugal. This time, it’s the Casa dos Penedos – a luxurious manor designed by architect Raul Lino, built in 1921 and located in Sintra.

The house offers a sweeping 180-degree view of the ocean from its balcony, along with a spacious kitchen, entrance hall and several other rooms. The first floor is home to 7 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, while the second floor houses an attic. The basement features a further eight bedrooms – all with open views – along with two bathrooms and two storage rooms.

What makes this iconic property truly special is its scale, historical charm and unique setting. Built directly onto a rocky outcrop – which inspired its name – the house cleverly incorporates the natural stone into its foundations. The estate covers 6,245 square metres of land and 1,250 square metres of living space, divided across four distinct areas.

It’s steeped in history, culture and tradition, with every room offering exceptional character. It could serve as a magnificent private residence – or be transformed into a boutique hotel, club house, or something entirely new.”
