The first house of Morada Sol was builtin 1972 and obtained its“habitation licence” in 1973. It was the413th house in Cascais to obtain such licence! At the time, such licences were all handwritten, and ours has historical value… It cost65 escudos, the rough equivalent of€.32 today! At the time, the house was a modest villager’s house with a large5,000m2 vegetable garden.
In 1976 Mr. Grilo bought the estate and added the amazing swimming pool. The house was then acquired by an Austrian family, they named it“Morada Sol” (home of the Sun) dueto its great solar exposure.
They developed the gardens and planted magnificent palm trees and an alley of pine trees. These pine trees have now grown on the imposing main entrance path and are a landmark when seen from theSintra hills above. The owners also extended the main house in the fashion of a mediterranean island house; all white walls and curves following the contours of the land, with many exits to the gardens. This feeling of indoor-outdoor living is preserved to this date and is what makes Morada Sol such an enchanting special place. The integrated curved barbecue is part of this design as well as the large outdoor marble table and seating area.
In the90’s, the estate was bought by a Portuguese couple, who built the second house(now called Villa Sintra) and covered the swimming pool. The kiosk at the back of the property and sauna house were also erected at that time. The estate was then left in a state of abandon when the couple grew old and moved to Lisbon.
