Linhó, Sintra

[14] Marcelo Caetano, 101st Prime Minister of Portugal and last leader of the Estado Novo regime, had his summer home in Linhó.

Beginning in 1958, Caetano, then an ousted politician and Rector of the University of Lisbon, began using his Linhó home to host meetings and plan his assent to become Prime Minister, which he became in 1968.

In 1998, Hillary Clinton, then First Lady of the United States, inaugurated the newly built campus of the American International School of Lisbon in Linhó.

[17] Linhó is home to two prominent gated communities of the Portuguese Riviera: Linhó is near to numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites, such as Pena National Palace, Queluz National Palace, and the Historic Centre of Sintra, as well as numerous landmarks and sites within the larger Portuguese Riviera.

Linhó is home to two Michelin Guide-starred restaurants: Quinta da Beloura's golf courses were designed by American golf architect Rocky Roquemore,[22] and Quinta da Penha Longa's courses were designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. Penha Longa has hosted the Open de Portugal three times, the Estoril Challenge de Portugal twice, and the Estoril Open once.
