The rooms are set within a spacious and well designed newly-minted residence on the property which has been in the family for more than a hundred years. The old well in the rear garden used to service this side of Cobravaddo up until three years ago, and the compound wall was in line with the well, so that everyone had access to it. The Old Portuguese house at 2111, Baga Road was built by Aleixo Minguel Pinto in the year 1891, with the last resident being his Grandson Alexander M Pinto. It is with sentiment, that Casa Aleixo in its new avatar, is named after them.
