Why we love this villa

Unique Features

  • · Originally built as the residence for the Mayor of Lisbon
  • · Sheltered within Monsanto Forest Park

Tucked within Lisbon’s leafy Monsanto Forest Park, often called the city’s lungs, this elegant villa offers a rare balance of tranquillity and proximity. With restaurants, shops, and historic landmarks only a short drive away, guests can enjoy the best of both worlds: city excitement and forest calm.

Dating back to 1860, the residence was originally built for the Mayor of Lisbon. Recently remodelled with modern comforts, the interiors blend antiques with bright, neutral tones, creating a refined yet welcoming atmosphere.

Set across expansive grounds of around 1,000 sqm, the property offers views of the city, river, and forest. Alongside the main house are two annexes – one beside the swimming pool and another for staff accommodation – ensuring privacy and flexibility for your stay.
