Historic 1905 Palace With Pool & Gardens In Crato

This beautiful and rare century-old palace, dating back to 1905, sits in the heart of Crato, one of Alentejo’s most charming historic towns. The residence combines grandeur, elegance and timeless character, having retained much of its original architectural charm: high ceilings, a fine wooden staircase, solid wood flooring and several fireplaces all contribute to its distinctive atmosphere and sense of history.

Distributed over three floors, the palace offers six bedrooms - two of them en-suite - together with spacious, elegant living areas. A charming vintage-style kitchen and a cloister with a bar provide wonderful spaces for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying time with family and friends. The property also benefits from a spacious attic, offering a versatile area that could be adapted to a variety of purposes.

Beyond the main residence, the property’s outdoor spaces are equally impressive: gardens, interior courtyards, a swimming pool with its own poolside bar, and a 600 m² courtyard together, create an exceptional setting for leisure, entertaining and exclusive receptions.

Modern comforts have been carefully incorporated, including a wood-burning stove, central heating, air conditioning and photovoltaic solar panels. The property also benefits from a private water mine, a traditional Alentejo water source, and a borehole.

Ideal as a private residence, the palace is equally well suited to a small luxury boutique hotel, a rural tourism retreat or an exclusive events venue.

Crato sits at the heart of Alentejo, within easy reach of the region’s most celebrated historic towns, and just over 2 hours from Lisbon.
