Location & Heritage

Penha Longa Edition is located between Lisbon and Cascais, within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, one of Portugal’s most prestigious and sought-after areas. Renowned for its natural beauty and rich history, the region combines stunning landscapes, tradition, and exceptional quality of life.

Today, Penha Longa is recognised as a destination of excellence where leisure, sports, gastronomy, and culture come together in perfect harmony.

In the 14th century, Penha Longa was home to a monastery founded by the Order of Saint Jerome. Surrounded by nature, it provided an ideal retreat for monastic life, offering privacy and tranquility. Later, the Marquis of Marialva transformed the estate into a grand noble property with remarkable architecture and gardens, making it a prestigious destination among European aristocracy.

Today, Penha Longa continues to honour its rich heritage while embracing a contemporary and active lifestyle.

Situated within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, Penha Longa Edition is just 30 to 40 minutes from Lisbon city centre and Lisbon International Airport. The area enjoys a peaceful atmosphere while maintaining easy access to international schools, championship golf courses, acclaimed restaurants, and some of Portugal’s most beautiful beaches, including Praia da Adraga, Praia Grande, and Praia das Maçãs.

The Penha Longa Resort, operated by Ritz-Carlton, offers two golf courses (18-hole and 9-hole), a luxury hotel, spa facilities, and seven restaurants, including two Michelin-starred establishments.

“Quinta da Penha Longa is one of the last extraordinary places on the boundary between Cascais and Sintra. We designed a collection of family homes within the mountain landscape, inspired by the summer residences of Cascais and Estoril and the eclectic revivalist villas of Sintra. These houses are embedded into the steep terrain, overlooking the mountains, golf course and the sea. Each home is a small citadel of volumes, reminiscent of Pena Palace in its forms, colours and styles, creating both panoramic and intimate places of refuge. To reach them, one must travel through the estate itself. Among the trees, ancient pathways emerge and become part of our garden.”

Pedro Appleton, Promontório.
