Duplex In A Historic Convent With Patio & Pool

Situated within a beautifully preserved historic convent, just moments from the prestigious neighbourhood of Príncipe Real, this exceptional 367 sqm residence presents a rare opportunity to own one of Lisbon’s most remarkable heritage homes.

Meticulously restored to preserve its architectural integrity while incorporating every modern comfort, the property retains an extraordinary collection of original features, including handcrafted tile floors, magnificent 18th-century azulejo panels and beautifully preserved architectural details that tell the story of centuries past. Rare in both scale and authenticity, it offers an exceptional balance between historic grandeur and contemporary living.

The principal floor has been designed for both elegant entertaining and everyday comfort. Two refined reception rooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a private study and a guest cloakroom are arranged around generous living spaces flooded with natural light. Opening directly from this level is a secluded private patio featuring a swimming pool, creating a tranquil outdoor sanctuary in the heart of the city.

One of the residence’s most exceptional distinctions is its privileged connection to the historic gardens of the former convent. Unlike every other home within the condominium, this residence enjoys direct private access from the house into these beautifully landscaped communal gardens, while all other residents reach them through the building’s shared areas. This exclusive feature creates a seamless extension of the home into one of its most enchanting outdoor settings.

At the heart of the property lies an extraordinary dining room, housed within the convent’s original refectory. Once the communal dining hall of the monastery, this remarkable space is defined by soaring double-height ceilings that create a dramatic sense of scale and grandeur. Two magnificent 18th-century azulejo panels adorn the walls, while the original pulpit niches have been meticulously preserved, providing a rare and authentic connection to the building’s monastic heritage. Rich in architectural significance and timeless character, this spectacular room offers an unforgettable setting for entertaining and stands as one of the residence’s defining features.

The upper floor provides a peaceful private retreat. A bright sitting room leads to the generous principal suite, complete with extensive bespoke wardrobes. Two additional bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes, offer elegant accommodation for family and guests.

Completing this exceptional offering are four private parking spaces and two storage rooms—an increasingly rare luxury in Lisbon’s historic centre.

Steeped in history yet perfectly adapted for contemporary living, this distinguished residence combines architectural heritage, privacy and understated elegance in one of Lisbon’s most desirable addresses. More than simply a home, it is a landmark property, offering the extraordinary privilege of living within one of the city’s most important historic settings.
