LUMIAR
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 condominiums, 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.
