Amazing Palace In Lisbon

This 3 storey small palace of Santa Sofia estate was built in the late 19th century.

It is considered to be an example of one of the most imposing aristocratic summer houses existing along the shore, close to Lisbon. The Palace is regarded as a national monument and cannot be demolished. It stands out from other residential buildings by its Neo-Arabic style, with Moorish decoration elements and tiles. Its major artwork in iron is worthy of mention, remarkable work by the famous architect Jose Luis Monteiro.

The 6.500 m2 extensive garden, which is considered an example of the century, inspired the French romantic gardens.

As a private residence:

This option comprises five en-suite bedrooms, dining room and living area. The chapel is converted into an outstanding kitchen with direct access to the garden. With TV lounge, office, guest bathrooms, laundry, pantry and staff quarters. The garden will be equipped with a swimming pool, pool house and the beautiful manicured ancient garden will be restored.

As a hotel:

As a project for a charming hotel or a club, the plan is to maintain the main living and dining areas. A reception area will be created as well as a bar, TV lounge, service areas and guest bathrooms. The bedroom areas will be built next to the main house. A swimming pool, pool house and a bar will be added.

Close to the Palace there is the Estadio Nacional, which holds major sports venues such as The Estoril Open Tennis Championship, Rugby and Football matches. A driving range and various jogging and bike trails are also available nearby.
