“O Lugar do Mouro” – Manor House in the Historic Center of Albufeira.
A unique holiday experience with refinement, tradition, and comfort.
Located in the historic center of Albufeira, this house, built at the turn of the 19th century, was once the private residence of one of the most prestigious Algarve families. It is also the birthplace and home of Diogo Leote, Minister of Justice of the 1st Constitutional Government of the 1st Portuguese Republic in 1911, following the fall of the monarchy in Portugal.
Recently restored by architect José Alegria, who preserved the traditional rammed earth construction and added details reflecting the Moorish presence in Portugal—an area in which he is an expert and for which he was appointed Consul by the King of Morocco.
Very welcoming, elegant, and tasteful, this house offers a journey back in time. Feel the essence of a modern “One Thousand and One Nights” from the ancient Al-Andalus, where every detail has been carefully designed to welcome families who appreciate history, elegance, and authenticity.
With spacious rooms, vaulted ceilings, inviting outdoor areas, and a unique atmosphere, this house is the perfect retreat for those who wish to experience the true spirit of the Algarve—its light, the scents of the sea, and all modern comforts in a setting full of character.
Live the past with the comfort of the present. Book your stay now at this prestigious manor house in Albufeira: “O Lugar do Mouro”.
