Positioned upon the distinguished hillside of São Jorge Castle, this magnificent eighteenth century manor house represents an extraordinary synthesis of historical authenticity and contemporary luxury. The property unfolds across four gracefully proportioned floors, each meticulously preserved to honour its architectural heritage whilst offering the refined comforts demanded by discerning residents.

Multi-level private gardens with mature trees and flowering terraces overlooking the city

The true revelation of this remarkable estate lies within its sprawling gardens, a verdant realm encompassing more than 588 square metres that descends across multiple levels in a cascade of cultivated splendour. Mature trees cast dappled shade across flowering terraces, whilst the gardens themselves command panoramic vistas that extend across the entirety of Portugal’s capital and beyond, towards the serpentine course of the Tagus River below.

Within the manor’s distinguished walls, seven generously proportioned bedrooms provide sanctuary and repose, whilst the principal living spaces have been thoughtfully appointed to complement the property’s original character. The interiors preserve the dignified proportions and architectural details characteristic of Portuguese eighteenth century design, creating an environment of serene sophistication.

The crowning jewel of this exceptional property emerges upon its uppermost level, where an expansive rooftop terrace has been developed as an elevated platform from which to experience Lisbon’s most celebrated natural phenomena. From this vantage point, one may contemplate the city’s unfolding landscape as the sun descends beyond the Tagus, casting golden light across the water and the hillsides beyond.
