Home decoration and garden stores Portugal

Tara and Sylvain welcome you in their workshop and their open-air art gallery, in order to make you discover their sculptures. In a tropical garden of 3 000^m2 are installed more than 200 sculptures that they have made. You can walk through ponds, fountains and waterfalls fed by a natural spring. To get there, you have to go through the house with granite walls, which is used as an exhibition shop for objects to bring back as souvenirs. In another house, the production workshop with its large ovens can be visited.

Vanessa Marques Cabacinha, a talented young woman in her thirties, paints pretty modern azulejos patterns on tiles in this cosy little shop in an alleyway in Alfama. You can watch her painting on the spot and she will explain everything about her art to you if you are interested. But Vanessa does not make simple tiles, she had the ingenious idea of transforming them into coasters or other decorative objects with motifs in the spirit of the times. It's both pretty and useful! Here is an original souvenir to enjoy or to offer.

In the heart of the historic center, this store offers quality and original handicrafts, such as ceramic sculptures, flower-shaped saucers, and objects diverted from religion (without offending but transformed with bright colors).

A nice and friendly store to discover to bring back original souvenirs that you will only find here. Smiling and pleasant welcome. Stop by, you won't leave empty-handed.

A tiny and antique store that will delight curiosity lovers. Often stored in display cases: hundreds of shapes and colours and even wonderful scented candles. Follow the advice of an old lady.... A little expensive, but they are really works of art meticulously made in the back shop where the factory workshop has been installed since 1789. Anecdote: since the arrival of the Hungarian Franz Liszt, at his request for the lighting of his concert in 1845, candles in Portugal have been coloured.

This municipal facility has workshops where local artisans work under the eyes of visitors and a sales area to buy their products: black clay pottery, basketry, weaving, lace, embroidery and various objects are sold here at reasonable prices.

The team on site is very welcoming and passionate.

Since 1888, the beautiful old facades of this store have housed items for lovers of household linen in a bright setting, art deco and woodwork. Rich or not, since Paris is present with brands such as Jacquard Français or Olivier Desforges, but it is also possible to refuel in local production: towels (all colours and sizes), beautiful tablecloths, napkins... All in cotton, linen, embroidery or prints... The prices are low for this quality and the choice more than varied.

For old toys.

Arraiolos is a town located in the heart of the Alentejo, a region in central Portugal. It is known for its carpets and tapestries, a tradition that goes back more than five centuries.

In this store you will have a large choice of carpets and will be able to discover this ancestral art. Floral, oriental or geometrical patterns, it's up to you to see what you prefer.

A Arte da Terra aims to promote Portuguese culture. They had, for a while, a store near the cathedral (Sé) on the way to Alfama but it closed during the Covid-19 period. The range of handicrafts and souvenirs offered, for the moment online, is rather large and of good quality.

A rather interesting store to find the souvenirs to bring back...
