Built in the aftermath of Portugal's recognition of São Tomé and Príncipe's independence in 1975, this prestigious property served as the former colony's embassy in Portugal. Crafted with opulent materials like oak wood, marble, copper, and Portuguese cobblestone, it stood as one of Albufeira's most luxurious estates. Over the years, it witnessed diplomatic negotiations, high society gatherings, and pivotal decisions. After the embassy's relocation to Lisbon, it became the residence of the Honorary Consul of São Tomé and Príncipe in the Algarve. Under current ownership since 2022, the property underwent extensive renovations, blending modern comforts with its storied past.
