The Quinta das Asas Stone Castle, Sintra, is a 5-acre property, surrounded by high stone walls, is located a short drive from the historical town of Sintra and some of the best surfspots in Portugal. It is a short walk from a traditional Portuguese village, where you can find everything for your daily needs.

When you enter through the gate you find yourself in a peaceful private park with wild olive and pine trees, gardens, meadows, and pasture for the two horses that live there.

There are two unique stone houses on the property, built with natural materials, and decorated comfortably with antique ethnic furniture. They were designed according to passive solar principles, and stay cool in the summer, but warm in the winter months.

We apply Permaculture principles on the land, with organic gardens surrounding both houses, and a variety of fruit trees planted throughout.

Off the beaten path, but just a short distance from the village and the beaches, and only 10 km from the UNESCO World Heritage town of Sintra, this beautifully designed home was built with local stone from the property, combining a rustic look with modern comforts.
Olive trees, umbrella pines, and meadows dominate this secluded 5 acre property, which is completely enclosed by high fieldstone walls, ensuring your privacy.
In spring, it is especially beautiful, with a large variety of wildflowers and herbs.
Birdwatchers will find plenty to enjoy here. Small owls, jays, turtledoves, and many different small birds nest on the property. Hawks circle high in the sky, and in the evening twilight, sea ducks often make one final round.

The house is fully furnished with antique ethnic furniture and natural materials, designed as a passive solar home to remain comfortably cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
From the green roof you can enjoy a view of the Sintra mountain range with the Pena Palace and Moorish Castle, and the Atlantic Ocean on the other side.
A large enclosed courtyard with a covered veranda, seating areas, and an outdoor shower invites you to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. In addition to the barbecue, there is also a fire pit that is often used on cooler evenings.
The house and courtyard are surrounded by lawns, umbrella pines, and olive trees.
Beyond the ornamental plants and flowers, you’ll also find herbs for cooking and making tea.
The well-equipped kitchen with its large dining table encourages cooking and dining. It comes with a basic supply of coffee, tea, spices, olive oil, vinegar, and more.

The main house features a spacious kitchen with a long dining table, ideal for larger groups, and a cozy living area with a large wrap-around sofa and a wood-burning stove.
There’s also a large bed room with a 1.40 m wide double bed, a bunk bed (each 1 x 2 m), and a sofa bed.
Adjoining the room, there are 3 bathrooms.

From the courtyard, a separate entrance leads to two spacious bedrooms, with a shared bathroom.
The beds (0.90 x 2 m) can be placed together or apart. If needed, a crib or additional bed can be provided.
All bedrooms have blackout blinds, and all windows are fitted with mosquito nets.
The bathrooms are equipped with hairdryers and makeup mirrors. A washing machine is available in an outbuilding.

Off the courtyard there is an additional bathroom.

There are three houses on the property, in addition to the Stone Castle. We ourselves live in one of them. The Castle is located on the upper part of the property. There is ample separation between all houses to ensure privacy for everyone.
