Vila Sassetti
A Romantic villa and terraced garden sit on a walking link between Sintra’s old town and the hill monuments. Its terraced path is more useful as a hill ascent than a drive-by stop.
Why go
Notice the Lombard-style circular tower and the way the architecture fits into the slope. The path offers a scenic ascent, but its gradient makes it more useful as part of a walking route than a quick vehicle stop. The circular tower shows how the architecture follows the hillside.
What to look for
A Lombard-style circular tower rises from the terraces.
Useful to know
Allow for the gradient on the town-to-hills walking link.
