This property was part of the scenario of the film *The Guilt* of António Vitorino de Almeida (1981).
Rural estate with very good quiet location, though close to commercial areas and good road access (IC 19, CREL and A16), near Lisbon, Oeiras and Cascais.

There are mentions of this area from the Middle Ages; documents from the15th century give us account of leases of agricultural land owned by residents of Rio de Mouro. In the first half of the 20th century, Rio de Mouro was a quiet village in the municipality of Sintra known as a land of good waters and great quality air, which could still be characterized as a rural parish with its farmhouses, vineyards, olive groves and orchards. - REF: CB08-02DZQ7
