Casa e jardins da família Barbot, Art nouveau residence and gardens in Santa Marinha, Portugal.
Casa e jardins da familia Barbot is an Art Nouveau residence with ornamental architectural details in Vila Nova de Gaia. The property includes a mansion, grounds with grottos, bridges, a lake, and a greenhouse for growing plants.
The mansion was built in 1904 as a private residence for Bernardo Pinto Abrunhosa. It later came under the ownership of Ermelinda Barbot in 1945 and received protected heritage status in 1982.
The property bears the name of the Barbot family, who shaped its character during their long residency. Visitors can walk through rooms that reflect how wealthy families lived at the start of the 20th century.
The property is best reached on foot and sits in a quiet residential area along Avenida da Republica. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as the garden paths invite exploration.
Architect Ventura Terra blended French Belle Epoque influences into the design with local character. The mansard roofs with circular windows and hexagonal terrace details reveal this thoughtful mix.
