From the Agent: "Set within an elegant villa on a tree-lined street in the upscale Monte Estoril neighborhood, we find this stunning two-bedroom apartment designed by architect and artist Joana Astolfi and architect Vanessa Ruivo. Renovated to the highest standards in 2022, this property has been reimagined, mixing its original charm with a more contemporary feel. The welcoming entrance hall features custom shelving and a display gallery, showcasing beautiful craftsmanship which follows through to the open-plan kitchen and living area which are oriented toward three floor-to-ceiling windows that open out onto a charming southeast-facing garden with views of the Atlantic Ocean. Taking inspiration from the proximity to the water, Astolfi’s design for the primary suite includes calming turquoise tones and connects to a dressing room and luxurious bathroom with twin basins, a shower, and a bathtub."

Perched on the Estoril Coast, the colorful, multistory villa sits minutes from the beach and just a 30-minute drive from Lisbon.
