Description
Located near Anadia, the Paço da Graciosa is an impressive example of Portuguese Baroque architecture, built in the late 18th century. Part of the Quinta da Graciosa, which covers an area of 24,547 hectares, the Paço stands out for its extensive two-story façade, whose classic piano mobile design places the main rooms on the upper floor, accessible by a remarkable staircase. The main façade is divided by pilasters topped with strong sconces and features Baroque elements such as balustrades and large moldings, especially on the main floor. In the center, a window with a cut-out frame displays the family coat of arms. The property includes several support structures, such as a chapel, hall, kitchens, wine cellar, stables and warehouses, as well as a spacious ballroom with capacity for 400 people. The gardens and surrounding vegetation complement the Baroque grandeur. The Paço features a garden, outdoor swimming pool, attic, entrance hall, fireplace, furniture, wardrobes, garage, balcony, equipped kitchen and suite, offering lovely views of the garden and countryside. In addition, the property is made up of four other rustic areas, adding more hectares to its domain.
