About Quinta da Serra
Quinta da Serra commands sweeping views across the Sintra hills from its elevated perch in Portugal's most romantic mountain region.
Stone terraces, mature gardens, and traditional estate architecture create a backdrop where ceremony spaces look out toward distant peaks.
The property spans 12 acres of cultivated grounds that shift from formal gardens near the main house to wild woodland at the edges.
