Holiday Villa In Ajuda, Lisbon

Description

This stunning and secluded manor house was once the official residence of the Mayor of Lisbon. Renovated in 2018 but retaining its original 1920s charm the house has a timeless elegance decorated with a modern touch and updated technology.

The property is entered through choice of two large double gates and up calçada driveways to a lovely courtyard. The courtyard offers shaded car parking under a wrought iron pergola for up to 5 cars with enough space for a further 3 cars to the back of the property.

The large front entrance opens up into a well lit and spacious hallway with a wonderful eggshell blue central staircase leading to the top floor landing where large French windows continue to let in an abundance of light and a sofa offers a quiet place to contemplate this extraordinary house or enjoy a relaxing read. The landing leads off to 3 bedrooms and the study library.

Leading off the hallway a large formal living room provides the perfect setting to relax or entertain guests. The tasteful yet unpretentious decoration reflects the presidential status that this villa once boasted. A large flatscreen smart TV and high speed optical fibre internet keeps everyone in touch with the media of their choice.

Large French door lead onto a wonderful patio shaded under a wooden beamed pergola. A large al fresco dining table creates the perfect place to enjoy outdoor meals during the Spring and Summer months.

An amazing formal dining room seats up to 14 guests at a beautiful solid oak table providing a perfect setting for a memorable evening surrounded by family and friends. A fireplace at one end sets the perfect ambience for a wonderfully warm experience.

The bright and modern kitchen has all the latest appliances with a large double fridge freezer with water and ice dispenser. The guests are welcome to prepare their own favourite dishes with a marble topped kitchen island providing plenty of space for any prep and cooking.

The 1st floor has 1 well appointed double en-suite bedroom with a spacious bathroom. A beautiful textile canopy double bed dominates another bedroom offering stunning views over the pine forest of Monsanto Park and the 25th of April Bridge planning the Tejo river beyond. A further twin guest bedroom shares a further bathroom and a study library offers a further sanctuary in which to enjoy contemplation and has large sofa that transforms into a very comfortable double bed completing the houses capacity to sleep 8 guests.

The Garden very much reflects the house, tastefully decorated in understated presidential comfort. An elegantly shaped and secluded swimming pool offers guests a perfect opportunity to relax in quiet surroundings yet minutes away from the excitement of the city of Lisbon. The calçada patio provides a perfect spot to lounge under the sun and the pool house provides bathrooms and refreshments close to the pool.

As Lisbon is only five minutes by car, the surrounding area has too much to list but suffice to say that guests will be spoilt for choice with what to do with their time. A tennis club 1 minute down the road, horse riding in the Monsanto Park and mountain biking are just a few of the sporting activities available on the doorstep. The river Tejo is only another 5 minute drive where you one can pursue maritime activities or wonder at the Jeronymo Monastery and sample one of the world famous ‘Pastels de Nata’ de Belem. Restaurants are plentiful and the very trendy warehouse district of LX Factory is also only minutes away.

LX Hideaway really is a unique and privileged property, perfect for the ultimate ‘Getaway’
