Brejão’s Estate

In the 1960s, Amália Rodrigues and her husband, César Seabra, acquired a property on the Costa Vicentina — a place that captivated the couple with its untouched nature and closeness to the sea.

It was in this region, marked by wild beauty and tranquility, that they built their iconic holiday home, designed by the renowned architect Conceição Silva.

The Herdade Amália Rodrigues was designed in harmony with the surrounding landscape and thus became a unique refuge where the artist could connect deeply with the scenery she so dearly loved.

The couple developed a genuine affection for the people of the region, with whom they built a close and supportive relationship. Amália and César were known for the help they offered to locals, always assisting selflessly in times of need. This generous spirit turned the estate into a symbol of hospitality and kindness, reflecting Amália’s deeply humane and compassionate nature.

For Amália, the Herdade was not just a place of rest, but also an extension of her love for nature and for life itself. Personally decorated by her, the house remains preserved as though her presence can still be felt in every corner. The architectural and decorative details, carefully chosen, reveal her affection for flowers, the sea, and the serenity inspired by the surrounding natural environment.

Another of Amália’s generous gestures was opening access to the beach that crossed her property. Although originally private, this path was offered by the artist to the public, allowing everyone to enjoy the beauty of that retreat—now known as Praia Amália, in her honor.
