Renovierte Stadtresidenz mit Pool und Garten

This premier residential property with tropical garden, private pool and garage is whispering for its forever soul mate. Built in 1880 as the private headquarters of a prominent Algarve industrialist, this building has commanded its place at the heart of Faro’s historic centre for nearly one hundred and fifty years.

At its core: a 7 en-suite main residence, a separate annexe with 2 suites and other rooms, a lush tropical garden and heated pool entirely hidden from the world, and a garage — all within a short stroll of Faro’s marina and the animated streets of the Old Town - rare opportunity indeed.

Sensitively and completely restored in 2019, the property was opened as a successful boutique hotel. (For those looking for a commercial opportunity - the AL and business included). The original façade, generous ceiling heights, and period proportions have been preserved with care… and wiring, plumbing, climate control, solar panels, and finishes — are all entirely modern. The result is a home that feels both timeless and effortlessly liveable.

A Private Tropical Oasis
Step out on to the pretty tiled terrace and the city falls away. The garden is something genuinely extraordinary for a property of this location: a fully enclosed, completely private tropical sanctuary planted with palms, bananas, papaya, citrus, and aromatic greenery, centred on a heated pool - not overlooked by neighbours. In a dense historic town centre, this kind of seclusion is not just rare — it is almost unheard of.

Room to Live, Room to Dream
The main house offers 7 generous en-suite rooms, including two with separate living areas that lend themselves naturally to a master suite, a private guest suite, a study, or a sitting room of one’s own. As a licensed rental property — a testament to its quality and condition — the property is equally and compellingly suited to life as a private home of exceptional scale.
The separate garden annexe, with 3 separated en-suite rooms, offers the kind of flexibility - a dedicated guest wing, a home spa, a gym, a studio, a cinema room, or private staff quarters. Ten en-suite rooms in total, each with garden or pool views, each with its own bathroom — the canvas is vast.

Rare Practical Luxury
A private garage in Faro’s old town is, without exaggeration, one of the most coveted assets a city property can offer. Add to that a large laundry room, multiple additional storage and utility spaces, and the full operational infrastructure of a property that has been run to a professional standard — and what you have is a home that is ready to live in, not a project to manage.

The Location
Faro surprises those who discover it properly. Beneath its role as the Algarve’s capital lies a genuinely beautiful old town: Roman walls, a cathedral square, whitewashed lanes, and a waterfront that opens onto the Ria Formosa natural park. The marina is a short walk. The old town’s cafés, restaurants, boutique stores and cultural life are on the doorstep. The international airport is minutes away. This property places you at the centre of all of it — in private, in style, and in a building with nearly one hundred and fifty years of history beneath its feet.
