21 September - a little palace inspiration!
🕑 Added 2023-09-22 09:45:31 +0000 UTCThese are the painted walls in last night’s hotel in the Palacio Seteais in Sintra! Lots of inspiration for the dining room in Can Punxes.
I love the way the plants curve up onto the ceiling, it’s really stunning.
The palace was built by a Dutch consul to Portugal. He was responsible for all diamonds going into the country - and he was paid by taking 1 in every 10 diamonds traded!. Not a bad job if you can get it :) It is now a hotel but they have kept it superbly.

Absolutely stunning, can't wait to see what you and Stephanie got up to
Love Sintra! I got to visit that wonderful town when I had to go to Portugal for a client to select limestone for their home in South Florida. I ended up going into one of the shops and ordering a set of 10 beautiful, hand-painted demitasse cups. And four months later it in arrived. I still have them to this day they’re really beautiful.
