Casa dos Duques — A 90-Year-Old Renovated Holiday Home in Abiul
The Story of the House
Casa dos Duques has stood in the heart of Abiul for over 90 years. Built in a time when craftsmanship was paramount, the house has witnessed the quiet rhythm of life in this historic town — from its 1167 royal charter to the present day.
After years of careful planning, the house was meticulously renovated with deep respect for its original character. Every decision was made to preserve what makes it special: the thick stone walls that keep the house cool in summer, the high ceilings that lend an airy feel, the original terracotta floor tiles, and the exposed wooden structure that tells the story of traditional Portuguese construction.
The result is a holiday home that feels both timeless and comfortable — a warm, inviting space where friends and family can gather, relax, and create memories.
