Solar de Magoito is a unique place of leisure and well-being. Located in the Sintra/Lisbon coast and set within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park.


Magoito is a village located on Sintra's coast : Magoito is a small village located on Sintra’s coast and within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. 10km away from Sintra’s historic center (UNESCO World Heritage Site), Sintra’s coast is characterized by a wood vegetation of Mediterranean Stone-pine. The strong patch of these tree canopies, seen from a high point, dazzles by his imposing green close to the blue of the sea.
Its closeness to the capital (Lisbon), to the enchanting Cascais town and near the romantic Sintra (UNESCO World Heritage Site) makes possible an endless activities program. From the inexhaustible historical patrimony, (palaces, castles, museums, etc.), to the fantastic program of artistic and sport events taking place throughout the whole year between Sintra/Cascais/Lisbon, Magoito is without doubt a place of enchantment.

Solar de Magoito: From Solar de Magoito comes in sight, on the horizon, the contour of Sintra’s Mountain with the Pena Palace on top. This palace’s park has a fantastic and exuberant flora with species from the various continents of the globe.
This coast’s beaches are followed by magnificent cliffs of sedimentary rock formations. Magoito is located in the North zone of this littoral, enjoying a dazzling view of all the beaches that extend to Cabo da Roca (Continental Europe’s westernmost point). The Lisbonians, from the beginning of the twentieth century, and most recently the international tourism, elected this region as a holiday destination.
The mild climate, the very rich flora, the fantastic beaches, the regional gastronomy and closeness to the distinct geographical and cultural realities of the Sintra/Cascais/Lisbon - gold triangle - makes this a delightful area for those who visit it.

Holiday Sintra

Here's a short review for our stay with host Manuel in Sintra, which was absolutely fantastic. Manuel was incredibly hospitable and helpful. The house and garden were spacious, clean, and beautifully maintained. We hired a chef who prepared amazing meals for us. The location was near the beach and the westernmost part of Europe, just a half-hour drive from Estoril and Cascais, and an hour from Lisbon. We had an absolutely superb stay.

Perfect for our group

I brought a group of yoga students to Portugal for the 1st time and am so glad I found Solar de Magoito. It is a beautiful, spacious property and everyone loved it. The house and the cottages gave everyone plenty of space and the pool house was perfect for yoga and to have all of our meals. Everyone commented how clean the house was. The pool also looked so inviting but it was a little too cool while we were there to enjoy it. Manuel was always available and gave me some good tips on wine, cheese and restaurants. Chef Jose made 2 delicious dinners for our group. I would love to come back again. Thank you, Manuel 🙏

Great place

It was a great property! Very clean, pool house. We had chef Jose cook us dinner, that was great! The big pool was chilly in May and the heated pool was not really hot and quite small so that was not really al place to hang out. The ambiance of the place was authentic and overall a great place to hang out!

Great family compound

We had a wonderful stay. We were three families with kids ranging from 8-15. The grounds provided a fantastic playground for both the adults and kids. While the weather wasn’t ideal we still managed to enjoy the tennis court, both pools, gym and ping pong table. Manuel was a great host and provided excellent recommendations for food and activity. We took advantage of the private chef Jose for a breakfast and dinner which was great. The location is perfect for exploring the beaches and going to Sintra to explore the castles.

Amazing family vacation in Magioto!

The property exceeded our expectations for our extended family vacation; three families from Norway, California, and NYC were able to spend a fantastic week at the villa. The property is quite large so there was plenty of space and never felt crowded with 14 of us. We took advantage of the pool, tennis court, ping pong table, pool table, and several nearby beaches. Thank you for such a wonderful stay in Portugal!

A gorgeous property to be enjoyed with friends and family - the pool house, gardens and manor were impeccable. Manuel our host was absolutely perfect. He arranged an amazing personal chef, Jose and a van-driver to transport our group to another beach further away from the house. Can’t wait to go back again!

Beautiful Historic Home with lots to do

Three generations, age 20 to 82, stayed for 6 nights. Good location. Large, very private grounds. Roomy and beautiful interior. Great restaurants nearby (Restaurant Central in Colares, Retiro do Saloio, Moinho Iberica). Grandchildren loved tennis courts, fitness center, ping pong table. pool table, and the pool. The pool house was super for an evening in. Host was very accommodating and gave us bottles of his favorite local wines to try. Had problems with the ac which resulted in in the host opening an extra room for us.. My only nit is that in a humid climate, guests should get more than one bath towel per week.

Fantastic Stay, would recommend for large groups

We had a wonderful time and Manuel was an extremely accommodating host. We were a group of friends with one young child. The only issue that arose was there were some ants in one of the rooms, which isn’t surprising for a country house. Manuel opened another room for us free of charge. Thanks for accommodating!

A beautiful place to stay

We had a lovely family holiday with four generations aged. There was 12 of us from 1 to 86 years old. The house was magnificent. The pool was excellent. There was plenty to do with bikes, tennis, table tennis, swimming pools, pool table … Manuel was very friendly and very helpful. It was the perfect place to stay. Oh and I forgot to say it was all spotlessly clean. Thanks!

Wonderful experience with 3 generations! 2 parents, 3 children and their spouses and 5 grandchildren 13 total. More than enough space! The pool house served as the base for communication and celebration. More than enough dishes and silverware for large meals. The beaches were #1 on everyone's list of favorite things to do.

Beautiful property with quirky house

The property was as described, the house was well equipped and there were many things to do on the grounds (tennis, pool, tabletennis, billiards etc). The owner was friendly and helpful. Het house is spacious and beautifully renovated, combining old charm with modern elements. The only reason for not giving the place 5 stars was that the many quirks and odd flow made the place somewhat impractical - in particular, the majority of the doors are not high enough for tall people to walk through, so it made it awkward for us to move around the house.

Tranquil estate close to Sintra

We were a group of 3 families with kids. We loved the property! The kids could safely run and play on the grounds. The house was beautiful and authentically Portugal! Driving into the gates felt like an escape. The property is a great location to explore many different small towns and Lisbon. Manuel was a gracious host extending a warm welcome to his home. He was very attentive to our needs during our stay and gave us local insights into places to visit and eat. We used chef, Jose Serrano for 2 delicious breakfasts. We also highly recommend chef Bruno Kaizen for dinner. He made some of the best food we have ever tasted. Bruno treated us to culinary masterpieces we won’t soon forget. Bruno and Lucas were a highlight of our trip to the amazing country of Portugal! A lovely home, scrumptious food and a stunning country. We miss you Portugal!! ❤️

Loved the experience

The house was wonderful and Manuel is an excellent host - but let me tell you about the chef, Jose. You MUST hire this man. Not only is he an amazingly skilled chef but he has menus that are so thoughtfully and artfully prepared (every dish is instagram-worthy). He chooses wines that pair well with each dish and he walks you through everything he serves you - where it's from, how it's made, sometimes its history. We ate things like tomato jam cheesecake that don't sound appetizing in theory, and yet we all asked for the recipe and I bought a jar of tomato jam at the airport because I'm absolutely going to try recreating it at home. We had guests with dietary restrictions and Jose managed to alter their dishes so that they still were able to have what everyone else had. It was better than eating at a restaurant. Frankly, this man should open a restaurant. Manuel is also wonderful, very communicative and the house is even better in person than in the pictures. You will like this house. And you will love Jose.
