Perched above the cliff, facing open water.

Villa Tamar stands on the cliff above Azenhas do Mar, the whitewashed village that steps down the Sintra coast into the sea. The house has been restored slowly and with restraint: original tilework, a wood-burning fireplace, a 1907 upright piano, and one great window that holds the whole Atlantic.

It hosts two guests. One king suite, two living rooms, a garden of five hundred square metres, and an infinity pool held above the water.

Kept, not replaced.

Living room with a cream sofa, stone fireplace and a picture window framing the Atlantic at golden hour

A window the size of the sea.

The main living room frames the Atlantic from sofa height. Winter evenings run on firewood. Summer ones on open doors and sea air.

Bedroom with king-size bed, antique chest and original shuttered windows

The suite.

A king-size bed, morning light through original shutters, and the garden green behind the glass. The waves keep their own time below.

Azenhas do Mar.

The village hangs from the cliffs of the Sintra coast, its houses stacked above a natural ocean pool. Villa Tamar sits on the quiet upper street, a short walk from the viewpoint, the restaurant on the rocks, and the beach below.
