Authenticity and identity in an old Saloia village nestled within the city.

Located in one of the old Saloia villages that are now an integral part of Lisbon, this rare 19th-century residence is a true time capsule. It offers a unique opportunity to live in or invest in a preserved piece of Lisbon’s history.

Located on a quiet, traditional street in Benfica, just a few steps from landmarks such as Rádio Renascença and RFM, this property combines the charm of old Lisbon with urban convenience. It is an area where life still moves to the neighborhood’s rhythm, with an authentic community, local shops, and Portuguese character around every corner.

With approximately 300 m² of floor area, distributed throughout the entire building, this single-family home is arranged over several levels and offers a sequence of spaces with multiple possibilities. It features three cozy bedrooms and several versatile areas that can be adapted to a contemporary lifestyle without compromising its original character.

The renovation deeply respected the essence of the house. Materials were preserved whenever possible, such as the 19th-century tiles, the antique woodwork, and the Pombaline cage structure—a traditional construction method of heritage value.

One of the house’s most unique features is an old oven located on the ground floor, which was once used for religious celebrations by the local community. This historic piece connects the residence to the neighborhood’s social and spiritual life over the decades.

The bathrooms were created from the former service kitchens, retaining the original period finishes. This design choice preserves the property’s character without sacrificing the necessary comfort.

Living here is more than just living in a house. It’s being part of a cultural heritage. It’s discovering a Lisbon that defies oblivion, where every detail has a soul and every space tells a story.
