The building is more than 200 years old and is referred to by the locals as the “Palacete”. It was once home to several generations of the same family. Its owners say they discovered it “accidentally” in 2014 on a late afternoon stroll in the fresh breeze of the bay. Although it was a little run down, it immediately caught their attention due to its architectural beauty and privileged location. Standing in the center of a small square, it ends up capturing the attention of those who cross the historic area of Arrentela, in Seixal.

The couple of owners tells us that the dream of their future home was born. They acquired the building and started the long and difficult process of restoration. In the course of the works, old frescoes were discovered on its walls and crown moldings, dated from that time, unfortunately too degraded to be recovered, as well as its imposing main door of a unique charm, which remains and transports us to times lived in the past. tidal rhythm, now full, now empty.

There is a mystique around the building and it is known that the little square on which it was built was protected and spared by Nossa Senhora da Soledade from the tsunami caused by the 1755 earthquake.

It is said, also in times that are already going there, that this building has already had several areas of commerce. It was a pharmacy, fishmonger, painting shop, office, and even a beauty salon. Now, it is the home of the current owners who also wanted to share with other people the good feelings and charms that they feel when entering the “Palacete” and therefore turned it into Local Accommodation.
