The former residence in Portugal of a 20th century European king once again gained prominence in the real estate market, appearing for sale in Estoril, in one of the most valued areas of the Cascais line. The property, today integrated into a luxury residential condominium, has a past linked to the exile of King Carol II of Romania and is available for 1,650,000 euros, reflecting both the location and the historical burden associated with the building.
According to the news portal New in Cascais, the property is part of an old mansion that marked a time when Estoril asserted itself as a refuge for monarchs, politicians and international figures away from their countries of origin, in a European context marked by instability.
A building marked by exile
The palace served as the residence of Carol II of Romania until her death in 1953, during a period in which Portugal welcomed several European royalty. According to the same source, the choice of Estoril was related to security, climate and the discretion offered by the region.
Decades later, the building underwent extensive rehabilitation, giving rise to the current Rei Carol Condominium. The publication adds that the intervention sought to preserve the original architectural identity, adapting it to the demands of a contemporary residential project.
An exclusive condominium in the center of Estoril
The condominium consists of 24 luxury apartments, located on a land area of more than 5,000 square meters. The controlled size of the development was designed to guarantee privacy and a reserved residential environment.
The house now for sale is the result of the combination of two T2 apartments, transformed into a T4 with 151 square meters. According to the same source, this solution allowed the creation of a large space, maintaining the architectural coherence of the original building.
Interior organization and private areas
Inside, the house is distributed across two entrance halls, several social areas and well-defined private areas. The same source states that the property includes a dining room with fireplace, living room, pantry and a fully equipped kitchen.
The bedroom area comprises four rooms, including two suites with built-in wardrobes, an additional bedroom and a space that can function as a closet or office. The house also has several bathrooms distributed in a functional way.
Outdoor spaces and common services
Outside, residents benefit from gardens, a swimming pool and a SPA area with a gym, sauna and massage room. According to the same source, the condominium also offers a concierge service, daily surveillance, storage rooms and three parking spaces per unit.
Location and asking price
Located in the heart of Estoril, the property allows quick access to beaches, golf courses, international schools, services and public transport. According to the portal, the property is available online for 1,650,000 euros, with visits subject to prior appointment.
