About Hercesa and the project

Who is Hercesa and what experience does it have as a developer in Portugal?

Hercesa is a Spanish developer with more than 45 years of experience and thousands of homes delivered in Spain and Portugal. As Villas is its largest-scale project in the Portuguese market: 1,200 apartments in Santo António dos Cavaleiros, Loures, developed across several phases. Phases 1, 2 and 3 have already been handed over to their owners. Phase 4 has two stages: stage 1, now fully sold, with completion expected in the third quarter of 2027, and stage 2, currently on sale, with completion expected in the third quarter of 2028.

What phase is As Villas in right now, and when is completion?

As Villas is being developed in phases. Phases 1, 2 and 3 are fully delivered and occupied. Phase 4 has two stages: stage 1, which is now fully sold, and stage 2, currently on sale and expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2028. All apartments have an A energy rating and the sale price starts from €534,000.

Is As Villas a quiet area? Is there a lot of noise or activity within the development?

As Villas is a gated condominium development. It is located in the parish of Santo António dos Cavaleiros, in Loures, with unobstructed views over the surrounding area. The community is predominantly residential and stable. Santo António dos Cavaleiros is one of the best-known parishes in the area bordering Lisbon, with the advantage of being just minutes from the city.

Do the apartments have clear views, or do they face the pool and common areas?

The development is designed to maximize views over the natural surroundings and Lisbon from its higher points. A significant share of the units face outward with clear, unobstructed views. The common areas — pool, gardens, leisure spaces — are integrated into the design without blocking the views from apartments facing outward.

About the community, quality and guarantees

What kind of people live in As Villas?

The buyer who looks at As Villas is someone seeking tranquility a stone's throw from Lisbon, without giving up the quiet of the surroundings, the calm of the private space a gated condominium provides and, at the same time, excellent access to the city centre.

Is buying in As Villas a good investment?

As Villas brings together several factors that buyers particularly value: a developer with a proven track record, an A energy rating that reduces costs over the long term, a quiet, private setting with common areas, proximity to Beatriz Ângelo Hospital, and quick access to Lisbon via the IC22. Prices start from €534,000 in an area with room for appreciation, plus the outlook opened up by the future Violet Line of the metro.

I've read negative comments about As Villas online. Are they reliable?

In any project of this scale — 1,200 homes across several phases over several years — online opinions appear that don't always reflect the current situation or the project as a whole. As Villas has delivered three complete phases and has buyers who have been living in the project for months and years. The best way to check any opinion is to visit our show room and speak directly with our team.

What guarantees do I have as a buyer if I buy off-plan in Phase 4?

Off-plan purchases in Portugal are regulated by law, and the promissory purchase and sale agreement (CPCV) sets out the rights and obligations of both parties. Our sales team can clarify any questions about timelines, conditions and delivery guarantees. Phase 4, stage 2 is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2028.

Can I visit the project and see what the apartments are really like before deciding?

Yes. You can visit the show flat, and we also have a show room featuring the project's real quality standards — materials, finishes, carpentry — and we are developing a virtual tour showcasing As Villas' specifications. You can schedule an in-person visit with our sales team with no obligation whatsoever.
