History:
Vila Cosme was built in 1556 by Cosme de Lafetá, the son of a Milanese merchant named João Francisco Lafeitar (later aportuguesado to Lafetá), who traded products from India and participated in Vasco da Gama’s second armada. Cosmo, his son, held various positions in India, including captain-major during the siege of Chaul. In 1571 and 1598, he was granted the captaincies of Sofala and Diu. In the 17th century, the property became part of the domains of the Counts of Soure, still descendants of the Lafetás. On December 20, 1879, it was acquired by Sir Francis Cook, a wealthy English merchant, art collector, and the first Viscount of Monserrate. The estate was named after the nearby property he purchased in 1855, considering that the old property was more extensive.

This opportunity is shared with all licensed AMI professionals on a 50/50 basis.
