Dating back to the early 19th century, Quinta da Cruz de Pedra is steeped in history and local tradition. The property features the iconic 1823 Stone Cross, a symbol of faith and protection that reflects the deep religious and maritime heritage of Vila das Capelas.
Historically, Capelas was a thriving whaling hub, and its seafaring legacy remains evident in its culture, architecture, and close ties to the Atlantic Ocean.
Whether for premium rentals, exclusive events, weddings, or conversion into a boutique hotel, the combination of both homes and the expansive land (with an additional 1,800 m² of buildable area) offers endless opportunities in the luxury market.
At the heart of this whaling village lies this magnificent 8-bedroom, 9-bathroom estate,
where old-world charm meets modern comfort. Every detail strikes the perfect balance between elegance and functionality.
