I had the privilege of sitting down with D. Maria do Rosário Líbano Monteiro, the owner of this beautiful hotel. She was kind enough to share a bit of the history of the “Palacete”. It was built in 1917 by a prominent businessman called Alfredo da Silva for his summer residence. He was the founder of CUF and Banco Totta, among many other businesses. The current owner, D. Maria do Rosário, purchased the home 30 years ago and she was gracious enough to share how her children and grandchildren grew up here. The tile mural in the glass dining room was saved from a wall that needed to be moved. That made me happy! The house opened as a hotel in 2022. Estoril Vintage Hotel
All my tiles are replicas made of polymer clay where the image actually becomes part of the clay through baking. No glue is used in the process. The pieces become waterproof and scratch resistant. Due to the handmade and hand shaped nature of each tile, slight variations will occur, as no two pieces are alike.

Although the tiles are water resistant, care should be taken to keep the tiles and metal out of water and away from lotions, including cosmetics, sunscreen, hairspray, etc. The chemicals in these products will dull the finish on the tiles.

QUESTION: Are your tiles real antique Portuguese azulejo tiles?
ANSWER: Absolutely not. In our description of each item, we try to call attention to the theft and destruction of antique Portuguese tiles. Even the tiles found in flea markets and antique e night. We have seen entire home facades disappear during the night to thieves. Thankfully, Portugal just passed a law declaring this theft a crime. We can only hope that it will one day be enforced.
For this reason, we have no part in this despicable crime. We make our own tiles from polymer clay. Ceramic would be far too heavy for earrings and impossible to mold into the shapes we want. For the hoops, we mold the clay as thin as we can get it, so that it will look pretty inside the hoops.
