With DOWNTOWN’s expansion into Europe, our first regional highlight is the captivating country of Portugal. After CEO and publisher Grace A. Capobianco experienced the charm and allure of living in Portugal, she felt compelled to share its beauty, culture, and remarkable properties with DOWNTOWN’s audience.
Quinta de Penha Longa blends historical significance, natural beauty, architectural charm, cultural richness, and privacy. These qualities made it a profoundly fulfilling and cherished residence for its previous owners, offering the chance for its new homeowners to share the same experience.
Situated in the municipality of Sintra, part of the Lisbon District in Portugal, in the scenic Sintra mountains, Quinta de Penha Longa boasts lush gardens, serene forests, and stunning vistas. This property’s architecture, with its historic monastery and restored buildings, is a harmonious blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements, transforming it into a living piece of art.
