Dear Sirs

Palma Palace is situated near the coast south of Lisbon (65 km / 40 miles by road), in an area long considered the "uncut diamond" of Portugal.

Much of it, such as the Sado river, estuary and coast line from Tróia to Sines, is strictly protected by law against any sort of patrimonial disruption, but the area's enormous touristic appeal is generating several, scattered, top class developments.

Palma Palace itself has a documented history from the 13th century* and Roman and Phoenician ruins in the vicinity, show that this site was always considered important.

Farming not being what it once was, we started investing in up-market extremely low-density tourism, since 1999.

We decided to marry the two concepts of "The Manor-House" and  "Green-Tourism", thus embracing a range of open-air and cultural activities, taking place in vast, unspoiled countryside, hosted in a venue of considerable historical content

For example;

  • Trekking.

  • Cane fishing in our lakes.

  • Birdwatching and nature observation in general  (there are hides in the grounds).

  • Archaeology (Roman and Phoenician ruins).

Our farm and my family's farms around it, (roughly 15.000 hectares / 37.065 acres), provide and give access to a variety of landscapes, ruins, lakes, a river, historic cities or villages, golf courses and approximately 70 kms (44miles) of predominantly deserted beach facing the Atlantic Ocean.

We can also rent two separated houses, one with an incredible view and the other next to our “operations centre”, both at the farm.

Do visit us and learn more,

Lourenço Posser de Andrade

      

*Research is now  being conducted in order to discover more precise facts on the  pre-Roman origin of the main village on the farm, and the role that our "Palácio Velho de Palma"  therein located, played during the origins of Portugal as an independent country in the 12th century, right up to more recent verbal and written records kept within our family.
