The Glorious Eden 1870

6.5 Ha | 2.639 m2 | 3 story noble Chalet + 3 buildings | 32 rooms | 10 bathrooms | built-in closets | high ceilings | chapel | stained glass windows | matured garden | stone fountains | marble stone fireplaces | sunroom | pool | tennis court

There is an approved project for remodelling and extending the existing buildings as a hotel unit. The composite organisation of the various bodies is reflected in the steep slope of the roofs and the full cladding of the elevations with rustic stone.

The main purpose of these constructions was to serve as a refuge for a break from the calendar, designed for rest and enjoyment of nature. The project provides the property with 32 suites and a robust renovated service area set in a lush 6 ha garden.

Thus, the architectural and decorative choices define and characterize a new type of architecture: Summer Architecture.

Discovering the charm of this chalet and “getting lost” in the streets and alleys of the this estate, which lead to unexpected corners, are some of the defining features of the property The Glorious Eden.

The dovecote next to the tennis court is a stone construction built in a cone shape blending seamlessly with the landscape.

The chapel is an original 19th-century construction, and its intricately worked stucco ceiling is one of the best-preserved examples in Portugal. The tiled wall decoration has been carefully preserved and maintained.
