Splendid palatial 16 bedroom house, with good opportunity to renovate and upgrade, ideally located in Sintra, Lisbon, consisting of basement, ground floor and first floor, with amazing architecture and original features, set in a large plot of mature gardens with countryside views and a swimming pool.

This magnificent old building (which has over 7 annexe), is an opportunity not to be missed and the accommodation includes 10 reception rooms, laundry, hall, kitchen, Chapel, 4 bathrooms, 2 storage rooms, attic and various balconies.

Set in a plot of mature gardens, trees and shrubs, it also has a garage, stables, rabbit runs and hutches, chicken coops, stables and greenhouses.

Lisbon is Portugal's hilly, coastal capital city. From imposing Sao Jorge Castle, the view encompasses the old city's pastel-coloured buildings, Tagus Estuary and Ponte 25 de Abril suspension bridge. Nearby, the National Azulejo Museum displays 5 centuries of decorative ceramic tiles. Just outside Lisbon is a string of Atlantic beaches, from Cascais to Estoril.

The city's compact, cobblestoned heart is easily explored on foot or via its old-fashioned trams and funiculars. The Moorish Alfama district has narrow, winding streets and taverns with fado singers. Chiado and its cafes, shopping and seafood restaurants adjoins Bairro Alto, known for nightlife.

A historical city full of stories to tell, where the sun shines 290 days a year and the temperature rarely drops below 15oC. A city where you feel safe wandering around day or night, where the cuisine is dedicated to creating over a thousand ways to cook the beloved bacalhau (salted cod).

Broadband is widely available in Portugal and is known as 'banda larga'. It is considered to function better than broadband services in the UK due to the fact that Portugal was one of the last countries to embrace broadband technology and thus has a system with newer design and technology. There are several service providers offering ADSL, fibre and wireless services in Portugal to the residential and the professional markets.
