In development
The palace
The restoration of the manor of the Dukes of Lafões and a hospitality project.
A Vision for the Future
The manor
of the Dukes of Lafões
Herdade da Torre Bela holds the manor of the Dukes of Lafões. In 1685 Cardinal D. Luís de Sousa says he has made «considerable improvements» there, and the House of Lafões carried out works between 1757 and 1773. The buildings have a built area of 4,828 m² and are now in poor condition: restoring them is the starting point of the project.
The idea is to restore the palace and use it for high-quality accommodation, drawing on the history of the place and the estate’s 2,500 hectares.
🏛️ Noble Houses
Chapel of St John, a vaulted stable for 40 horses, wine presses and a gateway with the arms of the House of Lafões — described in the 1857 Livro Tombo.
📍 Location
Alcoentre, Azambuja (Ribatejo). Less than an hour from Lisbon, with direct access via the A1.
