Machado Estate, an Oasis just 15 minutes from Lisbon – Indoor Surface Area: 500 m2
Featuring a unique modern decor, Machado Estate is a large luxury holiday property located in Pinhal dos Frades, near Sesimbra, Herdade da Aroeira golf and Fonte da Telha-Meco 20km long sandy beach. The estate is by itself a small Oasis, hiding within a vast Mediterranean Pine forest, and accessed via a quiet 450 metre long dirt road (although posing absolutely no issue for any type of vehicle).
This magazine-featured estate, is composed of three units (north and south wings and a guest house), organised around an exotic decked heated swimming pool (supplement applies for heating), and surrounded by immaculate gardens. The estate spreads over 5000m2, and affords total privacy to its guests. Access to the beautiful green garden can be enjoyed from most rooms via large french doors.
Each unit has been carefully designed to highest standards, and boasts luxurious details and fittings throughout, exceeding your expectations each and every time. Nothing about Machado Estate can be defined as average.
There are three large living areas, one in each wing, fitted with wide flatscreen TV sets with cable TV, DVD player, hi-fi stereo systems and air conditioning. There is also a formal dining room, sitting 16 people, in the south wing of the house.
The estate boasts two fully equipped modern kitchens: one in the north wing and the other in the south wing, for added comfort of guests. Each kitchen has an open-plan american style design, and is fitted to the highest standards.
There are six suites at the Machado Estate, and sleeping facilities for up to 14 people. Most suites open onto the gardens and terraces via large french doors with wooden shutters, and feature unique designer details, such as a hot tub, a double walk-in shower room, a hi-fi stereo system. As standard, each suite boasts comfortable sitting areas, air-conditioning and a flatscreen TV set.
The north wing has three suites, and the second wing has two suites. An additional suite or lounging area (both layouts are possible and keep up to the luxury standards of the estate) is available in the guest house.
Outside, the large 5000m2 garden is thoroughly kept, boasting many special corners and sun traps during day, and exceptional lounging areas after dusk, each lit with extreme care and endless attention to detail. The large 12*7m swimming pool can be heated up to a temperature of 26ºC, upon previous request and subject to additional payment, and will provide hours of relaxation and fun. The pool area is equipped with parasols, deckchairs, outdoor shower, and unique lounging areas with mattresses. The pool itself has an adjacent Jacuzzi area.
The large lawn area at the back of the main house is an ideal games area, and the estate has its own sports and activity fittings.
Hidden within the private gardens, the lake is among the most special features of this exquisite estate, and makes you feel truly privileged. Over an elegant and modern wooden structure, a Nikki Beach-style bar and lounge is the perfect setting for a night cap: a celebration of life and success. The Nikki bar lounge has been featured in music videos and magazines.
The house is luxuriously decorated and fitted for the posh and selective guest, yet blending in perfectly with the relaxed atmosphere of the countryside which surrounds it. Satellite TV with international channels, internet access, air-conditioning and stereo system enhance your enjoyment, on most rooms.
For guests’ entertainment, Machado Estate also boasts two additional bar areas: the club in the south wing (which apart from the music gear, the tables and the glitter ball also has a pool table), and the barbecue area. Each of the bars is fully equipped with fridges and cutlery.
There are magnificent beaches and sights nearby, but you will find it very hard to ever leave the villa.
The Machado Estate is definitely a unique option for the discerning traveler who seeks nothing but the very best life has to offer.
Please note: the swimming pool is easily heated up to 26ºC, for as long as the outdoor temperature is not too low. Water temperature may vary in Spring and Autumn. Please note that during winter and the colder months of the year, pool heating is most likely not possible.

We stayed here in September ‘21 after twice postponing due to Covid. The management company and owner were both very considerate and fair in the re-arrangements given all of the uncertainty and change in travel restrictions etc. Beautiful villa. Well maintained. Great communication with property manager. Very helpful and friendly cleaner. The Villa was incredible. Perfect for groups / Families. Secure and private. Communication with the owner was first class. The cleaner was lovely and really friendly. Will definitely look to stay here again in the future.
Sol Domus were largely very easy to deal with and helpful throughout the whole booking process.
The villa itself is superb. We were 2 couples and 4 singles plus a baby and so used all 6 of the bedrooms up and everyone was extremely pleased with their rooms - they are stylishly decorated and the whole place was spotlessly clean (and kept so throughout our weeks visit with two midweek visits from the hardworking and very friendly housekeeper Inacia)
The facilities are great too - heated (at a cost) pool was reasonably warm most of the time - a little cooler a couple of the overcast days, the games room (good pool table, great retro arcade machine, ping pong, bar, huge disco light, fussball, (not quite so good) darts board) is a great gathering point for evening drinks, the island bar at the bottom of the garden and good alternative for sundowners (alongside the small ‘rooftop’ area above the large mural of the villa owner which is good for sunset viewing). Aside all that the beautifully-kept grounds are enormous and great for little ones to explore.
Size-wise I think comfortably it would fit ten adults, beyond that it may feel a bit cramped.
The immediate surroundings are fairly unexciting - the villa itself doesn’t have immediate neighbours and sits in a scheme of varied residences on an unfinished, pretty bumpy/stony road. But it is five minutes drive from the main highway - 25 in total from Lisbon airport and about ten from a big supermarket etc. We did use ubers whilst here - they were €40 or so to get into Lisbon centre but I’d recommend a car for eg supermarket runs.
Helder, went out of his way to make our stay perfect - always on hand on WhatsApp to answer questions and help trouble shoot, give directions etc. He was really a pleasure to deal with. Thanks to him and Sol Domus for a great stay!
