Villa Donatela

About this property

Nestled in amongst mature trees on the beautiful, westernmost stretch of Lisbon Coastline, Villa Donatela is a luxury villa and pool set in thirty-five acres of private garden and woodland.

For groups of up to sixteen people, this large and traditional Portuguese villa offers stylish living and sleeping accommodation across two floors, with spectacular views of the sea from most windows and vantage points across the estate. The spacious living-dining-kitchen area on the ground floor is undeniably stylish and modern. Light floods in from the patio doors which lead out to the vast garden, which is just waiting to be explored. Also found on the ground floor, you have a double en-suite bedroom, two further bedrooms with twin beds, a bathroom and separate toilet.

Move upstairs to discover your second, equally impressive open-plan lounge and dining room. Featuring an eclectic and charming mix of furniture, whilst still shared and sociable, this space lends itself to mingling and relaxing in smaller groups. Or, for finding your own quiet corner. This floor has its own fully equipped kitchen and dinners prepared here will most likely be taken out through the large glazed doors to your fabulous wooden-decked, dining terrace. Why not hone the outdoor, private villa lifestyle to perfection by dining al fresco morning, noon and night? When in Portugal…

There are four bedrooms on the first floor, including a twin room, double room, children’s room with two sets of bunk beds and a room with two single beds. You also have four bathrooms for all guests to share. Villa Donatela can provide two more single beds, to be added to the double bedrooms.

Villa Donatela’s outside space is jaw-dropping. Not only do you have a beautifully maintained lawn and garden, you also have a fabulous private pool. It’s set away from the house on a small plateau of grass, fringed with Mediterranean plants and pine trees. This restful, secluded area is all yours for sunbathing, snoozing, reading, playing and swimming in your private pool. It also benefits from quite wonderful views of the sea.

Finally, and quite incredibly, at Villa Donatela you have thirty-five acres of private woodland to explore. If you’re dreaming of a villa that will transport you away from it all, you’ve found it. 

Beyond Villa Donatela, Sesimbra is just a short drive. A perfect day out for all the family, it’s also a must for seafood or wine enthusiasts. There’s a wonderful choice of beaches within easy reach of your private villa, including sheltered bays and serious surfing hotspots. Nearby beaches offer a range of other water-sports, including windsurfing and kayaking.

Located on the western headland of this arching stretch of Lisbon Coastline, Villa Donatela is set four kilometres up from the beach at Baleeira. With the luxury of thirty-five acres of its own private garden and woodland, guests at Villa Donatela have their own estate to explore. This picturesque, tranquil, green landscape is yours to walk, cycle or run through whenever you wish. Set off from your back garden along one of the trails leading all the way down to the ocean.

Alfarim is your nearest town, with everything you may need including shops, banks, chemist and supermarket. For meals out, it’s worth driving a little further to the principal town of Sesimbra. Just eleven kilometres away, this delightful and popular tourist destination is well-known for its seafood and fish delicacies.

Follow the locals to the best family-run marisqueira restaurants, tucked away down alleyways in the town. Serving up freshly caught fish from Sesimbra’s own fleet, you won’t be disappointed. You’re in the heart of the Setubal wine region here, so wine tours and tastings can be booked easily from the town centre.

Praia da Baleeira is four kilometres from Villa Donatela. Being one of the most sheltered beaches along this stretch of the Lisbon coast, it’s ideal for families as you also have the interest of the working port and quayside running alongside it. For crashing waves and surfing skills, head to Praia das Bicas or the beaches at Sesimbra and Portinho de Arrabida have some of the best diving excursions in Portugal. You could also try your hand at sailing, windsurfing or canoeing at the water-sport centres nearby.

If there are any golfers in your party, they can choose from four championship-standard eighteen-hole courses within thirty kilometres of Villa Donatela. Quinta do Montado and Troia are your closest.
