Chalet Maria Pia, Estoril In 1893 Queen Maria Pia, widow of King Luis 1, acquired the Chalet and immediately embarked upon a wide ranging remodelling of the property, along with complete interior redecoration. This is particularly evident in the wall and ceiling frescoes of painter António Ramalho which still remain. The Chalet became the property of António de Herédia, the son of the Viscount of Ribeira Brava, in 1913 and has remained in the family since then. The property which was formerly the summer residence of the Portuguese royal family in the late 19th century is set high above the seafront cliffs in Estoril. Totally south facing, it has uninterrupted views over the Bay of Cascais to the mouth of the River Tagus. There are actually two main buildings, the Chalet which is partially restored and the former stables and servants' quarters. This has been converted into a small winery and offices but would easily convert into a second house. The property also includes an elevator, expansive gardens, a large pool with changing rooms and a full kitchen plus 500 vines of Merlot variety planted in pots. £10.6m / €14m / $16m Fine & Country Cascais +351 214 643 636 92
