Located in a newly renovated palace dating from the end of the 18th century, overlooking the imposing Avenida dos Aliados and at a walking distance from all the major cultural highlights such as the Bolhão Market, Ribeira District or the Clérigos Church the Palacio das Cardosas is the ideal place for those looking to meet the city's true essence.

The name comes from the fact that the farm belonged to Luís Gomes Mata, "Correio-Mor" (chief of the post delivery) at the time of Filipe II. Built in the 18th century, the palace might have been designed by the Italian António Canevari, one of the architects of the Convent of Mafra. It is preceded by an emblazoned door leading to the patio. Inside, the tiles and stucco ceilings with paintings by José da Costa Negreiros stand out. In the gardens, the waterfalls and tiles with mythological scenes stand out.
