6 bedroom Villa for sale in Oliveira de Azeméis, Portugal

The construction of this palace dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, having been built by the dignified Manuel Pereira Godinho, adjacent to his parents' house. With the designation “Casa do Brasileiro” it was built with the “Brazilian style” architecture due to his family connection to Brazil. In its gardens, “camellias” were planted, originating from the Asian flora and introduced in Portugal in the 19th century, as a symbol of wealth, their existence in private gardens meant wealth, prosperity, and abundance. The residence belonged to the family for several decades, where three of their children were born, one of whom dedicated himself to writing, publishing several books, and signing Manuel Godinho's “Levante”. For more than a century, the mansion underwent interventions, without these removing the brightness of the building and its architectural features.
