Photogenic Manor Keeps Visitors Close to Portugal's Picturesque Cascais

This Mediterranean-style mansion has been owned by the same family for over a century. Its beautiful faзade, adorned with hand-painted tiles, draws thousands of visiting painters, architects, and picture takers. Inside, handsomely decorated bedrooms have bas relief stucco ceilings, and the mansion's white marble floors and staircases are exquisite.

Situated in the center of Cascais, this attractive manor enjoys the balmy climate of an 800-year-old fishing village, popular with several dethroned Portuguese kings, who made it their summer getaway. Cascais keeps its old world charm -- in the picturesque harbor area, fishermen repair handmade nets beside their colorfully painted boats.

Trains leave Cascais every fifteen minutes for a half-hour rail ride along Portugal's scenic Tagus River estuary to the center of Lisbon, Portugal's capital city. Train travel continues until 2 a.m., and the station is a two minute walk from the manor.

Casa de Pergola takes vacation reservations from April to December.
