In the 19th century, Cascais grew into a glamorous spot for a getaway favoured by European royalty and aristocracy. It was during this era that this remarkable home was constructed, although it has recently been treated to a renovation by architect Manuel Aires Mateus. The end result is a home that mixes the allure of yesteryear with some wonderfully contemporary flourishes. Given that the smell of sea salt hangs heavy in the air around these parts, it only makes sense to start with the home's outdoor space. The heated swimming pool is sure to be the hangout of choice during the summer months, although there's also a large terrace with a barbecue, fire pit and alfresco dining table, too. If it's views of the Atlantic Ocean you're after, there are balconies on the upper floor that give you just that. Inside, many grand architectural features remain, like the high ceilings and opulent archways, but the stark white walls, ultra-modern bathrooms and exercise room complete with a Peloton bike bring it firmly into the 21st century. When you fancy a day on the beach, you really don't have far to go — a private path leads directly down to Praia da Azarujinha. There are plenty more to be discovered along this stretch of coastline, while the historic centre of Cascais takes all of forty minutes to reach on foot.
