| The Estalagem de Casa Velha |
|
After Palheiro Golf was seen to be running successfully, Adam and Christina Blandy had the idea of restoring Casa Velha and converting it into a small country house hotel. The project started in 1995, with Christina as the creative designer. In 1999 the dining room was extended and the garden wing built with 10 rooms and 2 suites. In 2001 Estalagem de Casa Velha became a member of Relais & Chateaux. __________________ Written and compiled by Louisa Blandy Moreau Researched from: Atlantico, Revista de Temas Culturais, by José de Sainz-Trueva Notes by PG Blandy To learn more about the history of the Palheiro Estate choose a link below:
