This villa is one of Lisbon’s “secret” treasures. It is a beautiful building that is over 100 years old. It is notable for its quality of construction and finishes including wrought-iron balconies (not common at the time), tile friezes and Art Nouveau decorative touches. Francisco Tojal was the designer and builder. He gave the villa the name Berta, after his only female child. The building is located in the Graca district, an area that is home to a number of other notable Lisbon sites.
