Villa Serena — Villa Architettonica Ultra Lussuosa Con 6 Camere Da Letto DI Vítor Vitorino A Birre, Cascais

Villa Serena is an exceptional ultra-luxury villa in Birre, Cascais, designed by renowned Portuguese architect Vítor Vitorino. Set on a 1,500 m² private plot, the residence offers 843.6 m² of gross construction area across three levels, combining architectural pedigree, exceptional privacy, sophisticated interiors and resort-style amenities in one of the most desirable residential areas of the Portuguese Riviera.

Created as a singular private residence rather than a conventional development, Villa Serena reflects Vítor Vitorino’s distinctive approach to contemporary Mediterranean architecture. One of Portugal’s most sought-after architects in the luxury residential sector, Vitorino has designed some of the most prestigious private residences along the Portuguese Riviera, including the celebrated private villa of Cristiano Ronaldo in Cascais.

His work is defined by architectural clarity, refined proportions, natural materials and a strong relationship between interior spaces, landscape and privacy. At Villa Serena, travertine façades, standing-seam zinc roofing, oak detailing and expansive glazing establish a sophisticated yet understated architectural language.

Interiors Defined by Quiet Luxury
The interiors of Villa Serena continue the architectural language of the exterior through a carefully curated palette of travertine floors, pale oak joinery, natural stone and layered indirect lighting.

The result is a collection of calm, tactile spaces designed around natural light, privacy and effortless family living. Expansive glazing creates a seamless connection between the living areas, landscaped gardens, terraces and swimming pool, allowing the architecture and landscape to function as one continuous environment.

At the heart of the residence is a 61.3 m² kitchen and dining area, anchored by a sculptural stone-topped island and conceived for both intimate family life and sophisticated entertaining.

A separate preparation zone, pantry and laundry allow the operational side of the residence to remain discreetly separated from the principal living and entertaining spaces.

Two Private Principal Suites
The upper level is dedicated to the villa’s two principal suites, creating a highly private owners’ floor.

The main principal suite extends across 50 m² and features a refined sleeping area, dressing room behind bronzed glass and a private travertine bathroom. It opens directly onto a 52.85 m² private roof terrace positioned above the pool.

The second principal suite measures 38.5 m², while four additional suites and bedrooms are distributed across the ground and lower levels, providing generous accommodation for family and guests.

Private Wellness Pavilion
One of Villa Serena’s most distinctive features is its independent wellness pavilion, located within the private grounds and dedicated entirely to fitness and recovery.

The pavilion incorporates a 38.5 m² private gym fully equipped by Technogym, together with an 8 m² sauna and private bathroom.

Positioned only steps from the main residence, swimming pool and fire lounge, the pavilion creates a private wellness environment more reminiscent of an exclusive resort than a conventional private home.

A Garage Designed as a Private Gallery
For automotive collectors, Villa Serena features an impressive 109 m² lower-level garage for four cars.

Conceived as a private automotive gallery rather than a conventional garage, the space combines dark finishes and museum-style lighting with direct elevator access to every level of the residence.

Exceptional Outdoor Living
Outdoor living is fundamental to the architecture of Villa Serena.

The private grounds combine a lap swimming pool, sun deck, covered outdoor spaces, landscaped gardens and a sunken fire lounge, creating distinct settings for relaxation, entertaining and dining throughout the day.

Natural stone, water, timber and planting have been carefully integrated into the architectural concept, reinforcing the villa’s contemporary Mediterranean character while maintaining a high degree of privacy.
