Step inside with a virtual tour
This luxury villa is the perfect holiday home – somewhere to enjoy free time or even work from. But don’t just take our word for it, take a look yourself by using the virtual tour below. We recommend going to the upper floor to see how truly stunning the views are.
Location
A small town within greater Lisbon, often described as the “Notting Hill of Portugal” and one of the most sought after areas to live in the country, the neighbourhood of Campo de Ourique leads a peaceful but colourful life of its own.
A mix of late 19th century buildings, Campo de Ourique is full of traditional shops, restaurants and markets – but remains residential and “a best kept secret”, having not yet been discovered by mass tourism.

Currently for sale at €7,750,000, the four bedroom villa comes with river views galore and promises privacy and security. With four bedroom suites, plus a staff suite, seven car garage, gym, cinema and beautiful garden, you’d barely need to leave home.
