Palace with “Belle Époque” architecture characteristic of the early twentieth century, located directly opposite the Crystal Palace gardens. The main façade of the building is in very good condition, with extremely interesting architectural details offering a very harmonious blend of “Art Deco” and “Art Nouveau”, as can be seen in the ornate iron railings and in the details of the windows and front door.

This property, with 600 sq m of gross floor area, is a single family residence that is highly representative of the habits of the Portuguese upper class from the time when it was built. It is distributed over four floors, which all have bathrooms, as well as the home’s other 22 rooms.
The kitchen is on the ground floor, in addition to a large hall that still hosts a piano and in the rear has access to the garden. There is an imposing staircase in the middle of the building with ornately carved wooden balustrades, well preserved and in excellent condition. Above the staircase, natural light enters the space through a beautiful skylight composed of colourful stained glass windows that bring elegance and sumptuousness to the interior.

Due to its prestigious location in Massarelos, with its proximity to the Crystal Palace, Santo António Hospital, Bom Sucesso Market and the Shopping Cidade do Porto, the Porto German School and with easy access to the Arrábida Bridge and the A1 motorway, this palace that was once a single family dwelling has the potential to be a company headquarters, office or hotel.
