Villa Mercator is situated in a unesco cultural heritage site in the wonderful town of Sintra. Sintra is teeming with castles, magnificent properties and culture.

Next to the villa is the Castelo Dos Mouros battlement, a fortress built in the 18th century during the Islamic conquest. On a neighbouring hill, 10 km from the villa is the Palacio da Pena, an extravagant palace built according to Ferdinand de Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha’s romantic fantasies.

Located in the old neighbourhoods, the Quinta de Regaleira, a mysterious building with fabulous gardens in definitely worth a visit. Tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and the Serra de Sintra hills, the Sintra province enjoys an exceptional climate that encourages the luxurious vegetation. If nature lovers can’t wait to see the magnificent panorama from the Sintra-Cascais Nature Park’s pathways, lazy types will be just as eager to lie on Praia Grande’s fine sand, only 5km away. Despite its perfect location, Sintra isn’t isolated, and the town is 30km from Lisbon, with the closest airport, and 75km from Setubal.
