Manor Crato (Portugal)

In the Alto Alentejo, in Crato, a palace dating from 1905, its cloister and a courtyard covering some 600 m². When the palace was completed in 1905, Portugal still had a king. Five years later, the Republic was proclaimed. The residence, however, has retained the self-assurance of its era – that of a society which built grandly and for the long term. It is best appreciated from the ground floor upwards. At the centre, a cloister opens the house up to the sky and extends into patios, gardens and then a courtyard of around 600 m². A wooden staircase connects the different levels. The reception rooms have retained their high ceilings, parquet floors and fireplaces, whilst six bedrooms occupy the upper floors. At the very top, a vast attic still awaits a purpose. On the ground floor, a self-contained flat retains its own entrance, ideal for those wishing to entertain. Portugal has changed its political system. The palace, however, has not changed its ways.

Property with pool Silves (Portugal)

Near Silves, in the Algarve, a contemporary villa on the riverbank. Silves has long regarded its river as its true border—the one that nourished the land and guided its people long before the city took on its Moorish name. It is within this ancient relationship between water and land that the villa has chosen to settle, set back slightly, as if it had always been there. The design embodies, in its own way, what the Algarve has always done best: working with the sun rather than shielding from it, orienting the house toward the water rather than the road, and letting the land have the final say on its placement.
