The historic manor houses of Portugal are one of Europe's best-kept secrets. This book reveals their beauty and diversity, ranging from austere defensive towers like Torre de Giela, through the Arab influence bringing ceramic tiles and water cisterns, to elegant Renaissance mansions with their extensive gardens and pools, and pavilions such as Bacalhoa. 'Houses and gardens of Portugal' is divided into the historical regions of - Greater Lisbon; Sintra; the Tagus; the Mondego and Douro region; and the Minho region. The author discusses gardens of all periods and offers an insight into the history and character of those who lived in the splendid manors. The gardens and the interiors and the exteriors of the houses are lavishly presented in superb colour with photographs which bring alive the varied delights of this country.
