About this property
Villa Afonso is a sleek, contemporary, home offering stylish self-contained living quarters and elegant gardens, within easy distance of both Lisbon and the coast.
This chic home offers a striking minimalist and modern feel along with twists of designer flair and playful touches. Ideal for a group of couples, or a family with older children: there are four separate suites set over three storeys, designed as self-contained spaces, each with their own bathroom, and two with their own kitchenette facilities.
All the hallmarks of architectural prestige blend with both simplicity and style: a large and light-filled open-plan living and dining space comprises French windows at every angle, informal yet stylish dining space and sublime low-lit kitchen of slate greys, granite and marble along with top-range appliances.
Executed with semi-separate spaces for an informal mix of group potential as well as serenity with the independent nature of the suites and second reception room, this home offers an exceptional standard of living.
The steely palette of industrial greys is softened by beautiful fabrics, ornate chandeliers, accents of vivid yellows and plants for a home-like touch. The tone is one of understated luxe, whilst vibrant artwork, modern fireplace, and lavish textures offer characterful flair.
Each of the bedrooms offers flawless comfort within generous proportions; whether they offer direct terrace access - to a pretty bistro set for morning coffee, or state of the art walk-in shower room, guests will be charmed by their serenity and elegance.
The outdoor spaces comprise a sedate upper terrace complete with dining area offering the shade of parasols; an idyllic spot for an evening glass of wine with sea views. The layers of impeccable lawns are alluring, with the privacy of dappled shade as well as lower dining terrace, sleek pool-side lounging space and of course the exquisite pool with Roman steps.
Villa Afonso is a haven of tranquillity, impeccable taste and flawless quality with both city and seaside living at its doorstep!
Nestled in Aldeia de Meco, a small and quiet village on the Lisbon outskirts, Villa Afonso benefits from being just one kilometre from the local amenities, whilst Meco beach is just over a kilometre away; Bicas beach (3 km) is known as a popular surfing spot, whilst both Sesimbra (12 km) and Alfarim (1.7km) offer butchers, bakeries, supermarkets, a smattering of local restaurants and fish markets.
This region of Portugal is ideal for water sports enthusiasts, whether it be canoeing, snorkelling, diving or surfing; the area is a water lovers’ paradise.
The beauty of the Lisbon coast is that it provides a breezy escape from the capital, whilst being home to some of Portugal’s historic jewels, which attract thousands of visitors: the ancient walled town of Obidos, the 12th century monastery at at Alcobaca, the Catholic pilgrimage site of Fatima, and the fairytale palaces of Sintra.
Lisbon itself is a vibrant and colourful city with a fascinating history; the city is rich with museums, monuments and a lively waterfront with bars and many restaurants showcasing a blend of traditional and contemporary architecture.
There are many attractive towns to visit along the Lisbon coast, such as the beautiful former fishing village of Cascais, the dynamic resort town of Estoril, or the surfer’s paradise Carcavelos or romantic town of Sintra.
