Villa Sao Paulo - Beach Front Wedding Villa in Portugal was built in 1911 by Mrs Benedita Alves de Mello - a Portuguese lady who made her fortune in Brazil, with coffee. The Villa has several antique tile pannels about the portuguese discovery of Brazil, including the first catolic service in Brazil, in the year 1500.

The name of the Villa was inspired by both the city of Sao Paulo (biggest metropolis of Brazil) and St. Paul, to whom the Lady was very devoted.

 Mrs. Benedita built the Villa for her large Family Summer gatherings. The choice of Estoril hasn´t a coincidence:

 At the end of the 19th century King D.Luis made the town of Cascais his summer home. This completely changed the infrastructure of the area, as well as many more palaces and chalets being built along the coastline. In 1870 Estoril became the place to be for the royal family, aristocrats and high society and the coastline was soon referred to as the Portuguese Riviera. In 1905 laws changed so more grand hotels, casinos, spa resorts, parks and gardens could be built to further increase the coastlines already impressive status. In 1910, when Villa de Sao Paulo started to be built, there was a revolution which signalled the end of the Portuguese monarchy.

Great Location

Lisbon airport is in a great location within Europe, with flight times from Britain and many other European Countries only 2-3 hours away. ​

 Beautifull Landscape

The Lisbon coastline is interesting and diverse. Lisbon itself is set within many hills, looking over the mouth of the river Tagus and out towards the Atlantic Ocean. Moving further around the coast, the land towards the ocean flattens out but maintains the stunning views of the sea and coastline. The coastline's beautiful white sandy beaches ensure the buzz of the working city is balanced by people relaxing on the beach at any opportunity, surfers and sun-worshippers alike.

Architecture and History​

Portugal is located at the most western point of Europe, which has defined the Portuguese peoples love of the ocean. Portugal's history is rich and diverse as it was one of the Europe's oldest colonial empires. The Portuguese were the first to discover routes to India, Brazil, China and Japan and formed settlements on the East and West coasts of Africa. The wealth brought back from their missions made them a wealthy nation and the palaces, castles and forts stand testament to this.

Portuguese cuisine

The gastronomy of Portugal is as rich and varied as its landscapes and heritage.

The sea has proved to be the most defining characteristic of Portuguese cooking. Savour the simplicity of a just-caught grilled fish. How about the shellfish plucked from the waters anywhere along this coastline?

From grilled sardines to the ‘pastéis de Belém’ pastries, Lisbon’s food is as welcoming as its people.

Fado, Humanity Heritage

A shawl, a guitar, a voice and heartfelt emotion. These are the ingredients of Fado, the celebrated form of world music that captures what it is to be Portuguese.
