ALBATROZ VILLA - D. Pedro’s House
This beautiful house over the bay is so much part of Cascais, it is impossible to imagine the bay without it.
It was the 3rd Dukes of Palmela, D. Maria Luísa Domingas and D. António, who ordered the construction of this house, to give it to the famous writer D. Maria Amália Vaz de Carvalho. This true Portuguese style mansion was finished in 1903. After some transformations, the house, that was first Villa D. Pedro and then Villa Cascais, is now part of the Albatroz Hotels and is called Villa Albatroz.
