The Manor House is located at Praça Comendador Luis António Infante Passanha, 20 to 22, in the town of Ferreira do Alentejo, in the District of Beja, a central and accessible area of the locality.
This building is an example of a palatial house, a type of urban construction characteristic of the 19th century. Its architecture is elegant, with historical details visible in the interior decoration, such as stucco and mural paintings.
The paintings that decorate the interior of the house are probably by the Setúbal painter João Eloy Amaral, known for his still lifes. These works add a special charm to the environment.
The house was built during a period of economic prosperity in Ferreira do Alentejo, when several important families of the town built mansions in the center of the locality. It is close to important places such as the old town hall and the main church.
Since 2003, the building has been adapted to function as a tourist accommodation unit, allowing visitors to enjoy a unique experience in a historic and charming house.
For those interested in history and art, the Manor House offers an opportunity to learn more about the past and traditions of the town, in addition to being a point of interest in the town of Ferreira do Alentejo.
