MANOR HOUSE “CASA do AZULEJO”

Описание: The construction of this palace dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, having been built by the dignified Manuel Pereira Godinho, adjacent to his parents' house.

With the designation “Casa do Brasileiro” it was built with the “Brazilian style” architecture due to his family connection to Brazil.

In its gardens, “camellias” were planted, originating from the Asian flora and introduced in Portugal in the 19th century, as a symbol of wealth, their existence in private gardens meant wealth, prosperity and abundance.

It was the family residence for several decades, where three of their children were born, one of whom dedicated himself to writing, publishing several books, signing Manuel Godinho “Levante”.

For more than a Century, the mansion underwent interventions, without these removing the brightness of the building or its architectural features.

At the end of the second decade of this century and for 3 years, significant works were introduced in the mansion, namely its plaster ceilings were recovered and a new support wing was introduced, where a kitchen is currently located, adapting some contemporaneity to the mansion.

Harmony and uniqueness in the recovery of the original plaster ceilings, completely new and lacquered wainscoting with a combination of new materials that meet the most demanding standards of comfort and modernity, a fully equipped kitchen with NEFF appliances, central heating through ducts in the ceilings through heat pump, home automation, seven toilets, parking for 5 cars and class A energy certification, ensure the desired level of comfort and energy efficiency.

This Manor Hosue now has 5 suites, combining the past with the present and maintaining the luxury that it conveyed at the time; with a construction area of 404 square meters plus a small basement for technical support, set in a plot of land with an area of 936m2 where there is a large heated swimming pool, garden and leafy tropical trees.

With a refurbished project signed by a renowned architect, this mansion is luxurious and exclusive.

Amongst its innumerous unique details, the front entrance panel in solid granite stands out, carved in a single piece measuring 4 meters front, by the famous sculptor Paulo Neves (whose work is on display at the Serralves Museum).
