This is iconic living from those who know.
Paço de Lumiar is a well-kept secret hidden away in a valley of North Lisbon, seemingly half forgotten by time, since its original founding as a luxury hideaway from the city centre, and now flanked by Golf Course and wild land to the North, and grounds of Quintas to East and West. Retaining its character from rural times, besides the Rua Direta and Rua Esquerda, a thread of ´Azinhagas ´ weave between the Quintas, with charming old names. Between the seven or eight large Noble farm estates, some transformed into luxury residential condominia, the Museu de Traje and the Museu de Dança e Teatro, one with glorious botanical gardens, two private schools, the famous Colégio Manuel Bernardes, topping the Portuguese league tables and known for its excellence, exigence and community, and the lesser known Real Colégio, have taken over another two, and make the village a point of interest for well-heeled parents and caused demand for good housing with close proximity. The village is pastel coloured, almost like being in the country, especially at weekends, when cars abandon the village and silence reigns. Paço de Lumiar is certainly a good choice for those who adore the charming architecture of centuries gone by and who love to be in a quiet village in the centre of a large modern city, to arrive at your front door down a country lane.
