Bright, bold, and wonderfully spacious, Villa Serra & Sol stands as a true gathering place just minutes from the sweeping fairways of Quinta do Perú Golf. Behind its warm ochre façade lies a home designed for togetherness, comfort and easy outdoor living. Whether you're sipping morning coffee on the balcony, splashing in the pool with the kids, or sharing stories around the firepit, every corner of this villa lends itself to connection.
Step inside to a light - filled interior where terracotta floors and crisp white walls keep things cool in summer, while air - conditioning throughout ensures comfort year - round. The living spaces are both stylish and functional, with multiple lounges across three levels, including two attic rooms that can double as quiet hideaways or extra sleeping quarters. The main living room, complete with a fireplace and plush seating, is ideal for relaxed evenings, while the dining room brings everyone together beneath a trio of striking red lamps.
The kitchen is made for feeding a crowd, fully equipped and paired with a second outdoor kitchen and wood - fired oven - perfect for grilling up local seafood or pizzas after a day at the beach. A snooker table and foosball pitch add fun to the mix, while the twelve sun loungers lining the pool create space for complete switch - off mode.
The villa offers nine flexible bedrooms, each one designed with versatility in mind. Twin beds can be joined as doubles, making the house easy to adapt for families, friends, or even team - building retreats. Bathrooms are generous and well distributed, and the whole layout ensures privacy while still feeling connected.
Step outside and you’ll find yourself in a sun - drenched garden with a heatable swimming pool, bubbling Jacuzzi, and shaded dining terrace. Whether it’s long lunches or evenings under the stars, this villa’s outdoor spaces are where holiday memories are made.
Set in a peaceful residential area just 30km from Lisbon, Villa Serra & Sol offers the ideal balance of countryside calm and coastal adventure, with beaches, forests and charming villages all within easy reach.
Nestled near the prestigious Quinta do Perú Golf Resort, Villa Serra & Sol enjoys a quiet, residential setting surrounded by greenery, yet it’s only a short drive from some of the region’s most beautiful natural attractions. Located in the heart of the Setúbal Peninsula, this area is prized for its unique blend of rural tranquillity, access to the Atlantic coast, and proximity to Lisbon.
Just over 1km away, you'll find a local supermarket for your essentials, as well as a pharmacy and restaurants serving traditional Portuguese fare. Seafood is the star here, from simple grilled sardines to hearty stews infused with garlic and herbs. For something more refined, the area’s vineyards and gourmet spots offer a chance to savour Setúbal's culinary heritage with a glass of local Moscatel in hand.
Nature lovers are especially well served. The nearby Serra da Arrábida Natural Park is a treasure trove of pine forests, limestone cliffs and emerald waters. Portinho da Arrábida, just 20km away, is one of Portugal’s most breathtaking beaches, where the turquoise sea laps gently against soft sands, ideal for swimming, snorkelling or simply watching the world go by. Lagoa de Albufeira, equally close, is a peaceful lagoon popular for paddleboarding, kite - surfing and beach picnics.
The villa is also within easy reach of Praia do Meco, a ruggedly beautiful beach that’s perfect for those seeking wild waves and sweeping vistas. Along the coast, you’ll discover a string of coves, dunes and scenic viewpoints, each with its own charm.
For golf enthusiasts, Quinta do Perú’s 18 - hole course is just under 5km away. Surrounded by cork oaks and offering panoramic mountain views, it’s one of the best in the Lisbon area. And if you fancy a change of pace, Lisbon itself is only 30km away. From historic trams to vibrant markets and world - class museums, it makes for a rich day out.
Whether you're looking to explore Portugal’s wilder side, unwind by the pool, or sample local wines under the shade of a cork tree, Villa Serra & Sol’s location offers something for every kind of traveller.
Portugal. Atlantic light, golden cliffs and the great Algarve table.
