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.

A beautiful stay, with an on-site host

This is a truly unique property - a gorgeous historical estate with two stunning pools, an amazing covered poolhouse that's perfect for shaded lounging, two kitchens, a tennis court, and tons of space for a large group to spread out or hang out. It's within driving distance to a ton of beautiful beaches and Sintra, and there are multiple buildings - a main sleeping house near the gate, and the poolcovered patiokitchen further in, with smaller buildings scattered all over the property. Heads up that the owner, Manuel, lives on site and is usually present, which wasn't clear to us from our booking. If you're comfortable with the owner being about 30-50ft of the main group hangout spot at the pool, and dropping in for visits, this is a 10/10 rental.

Oasis

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!

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 🙏

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.

A Portuguese Paradise

This property was just as described...and a little bit better! I could write pages about it. We had 10 people aged 10-74. We used the main house, and a cottage for sleeping. The pool was a bit cold as we were there the first week of May and the weather hadn't warmed up yet, however we still spent most of our time at the pool house as it has wonderful big tables & a kitchen. We had Chef José come to prepare two yummy dinners - a birthday party & a meal the night before we left. The charm of the house is amazing. The low doorways did lead to a few bumped heads as we are all tall. It is a historic home so if you need a stand-up shower in every room and want unlimited towels etc, you need to understand that this is a breathtaking historic property, and not an American hotel. The photos do not do it justice- it is beautiful. A car is a must in my opinion if you want to see the numerous sites around the area. There are parking spots right inside this gated property, and the surrounding roads are a fun adventure. We could have scheduled more time here and not run out of things to do and see. Manuel was so kind and helpful. Highly recommend this amazing property!

We had a great week in our family if 14. Life centred around the pool house and pool. The beds/ houses are distributed around the site so you have some privacy but all mert up in the pool area.Manuel was very helpful with ideas on restaurants and trips and sorted out any issues promptly. The tennis court was an added bonus. Close to beaches and whilst the nearest restaurant is a car journey away this was no problem.

5-12 juli. Firande av min 70-årsdag tillsammans med barn och barnbarn. 15 personer

Ett fantastiskt ställe att bo fyra familjer på. En bra umgängesyta med pooler och poolhus där vi åt alla måltider. Jag överraskades med en kock som kom och lagade min födelsedagsmiddag. Fantastisk present från barnen. Bad i havet, vinprovning i närheten och ett otroligt fint väder. Trevlig och hjälpsam värd.

A Perfect Home Base

My husband and I took our adult children and their spouses (a total of 10 of us) to Portugal for a week. Manuel's house was the perfect home base as we traveled out from there to visit towns, beaches and wineries. We would return in the late afternoon each day to the wonderful pool and pool house. In fact, we spent most of our time at the pool house. We cooked on the grills several nights and we had a chef come in two nights. There was plenty of dishes, glassware etc. and refrigerator space for everything. We would definitely return again. Manuel was the perfect host.

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.

Notre semaine à Solar do Magoiti a été fantastique. L'endroit est magnifique et bien entretenu, encore plus beau que sur les photos! La maison principale est spacieuse et bien équipée, très propre. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la "pool house", où nous prenions nos repas de fin de journée, avec tout ce qu'il faut pour préparer les repas. Notre hôte, Manuel, a été parfait, avec des suggestions pour les visites aux alentours et il était disponible pour répondre à nos questions et demandes. Vraiment, un séjour inoubliable!

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.

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.

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!
