Our opinion
This is a solitary palace in the mountains, facing the immensity of the Atlantic. At the highest point of the Serra de Arrábida, this 16th century sanctuary was built by Madalena Giron, second duchess of Aveiro and devotee of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The 42-hectare estate was famous for the hunting parties that brought together the nobility of Azeitão. The guests stayed on the premises and attended mass in the chapel, which was a place of pilgrimage for the inhabitants of the area. Today, the architectural complex covers approximately 3,200 m², with several halls, private areas, outdoor and agricultural areas, for a total of 30 rooms. The interior is of great elegance and has retained all its original charm. The floors are of natural stone, the ceilings of painted wood and authentic Azulejo frescoes cover the exterior as well as the interior walls. In the main hall, a genuine Flanders tapestry welcomes visitors, who come to the Palácio for social events, weddings and christenings. The complex is well worth its reputation and is only a few minutes' drive from the splendid Portinho Arrábida, considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe.
