Description
Spa & Rural Tourism Development. More than a rural tourism development with a spa, the concept is based on the duality of the senses: body and mind: the best of nature, nestled in a region between mountains, rivers, and sea, rich in heritage, history, legends, culture, and tradition. Built in complete architectural harmony with the surrounding landscape, facing the Dão River, valleys, and slopes, providing it with great richness and biodiversity, with granite massifs covered in forests. This tourism development, in the final stages of construction, is located on a property measuring 11,795.95 square meters, next to the Dão River, at an altitude of 376 meters, with four buildings, each with different amenities. Location: Rio Dão, parish of Ínsua, municipality of Penalva do Castelo, district of Viseu, intermunicipal community of Viseu Dão Lafões. Distance from the sea: 100km, Aveiro and 120km Figueira da Foz. Located 500m from the Monastery of the Holy Sepulchre, recently classified as a National Monument, it is close to the town of Penalva do Castelo, less than 15 minutes from the A25 highway, and the city of Mangualde. 25 minutes from the city of Viseu. All buildings are in the final stages of construction: Building 1: Main House with accommodation on the first floor, and a spa unit with a jacuzzi and accommodation on the ground floor; Building 2: Reception, library, and spa unit with a combined traditional sauna and infrared sauna; Building 3: Spa unit with a jacuzzi and accommodation (building partially suspended over the forest and the Dão River); Building 4: Mill - A spacious museum space suitable for all types of activities: conference room, meeting room, workshops, food tastings, wine tasting room, etc. Sophisticated infrastructure: Double-walled walls with thermal insulation, roof with interior thermal insulation. Walls with 30 cm thick granite masonry with 10 cm of thermal insulation. The access road to the building is already electrified and reinforced with a grounding system. Surroundings: The telluric nature of the location provides an infinite array of landscapes of rugged, granite beauty, enriched by the colors of a vast biodiversity converging with the sounds of birds and the murmur of the Dão River. Three natural dams are located here, dominated by rocky outcrops, a forested and natural landscape, while simultaneously enjoying great isolation and urban proximity to the center of Penalva do Castelo and other parishes. These are true centers of scenic appeal. This small cluster of rural buildings possesses a special flavor, given their structure, where the ever-present granite rock poses an added challenge. They represent a set of potentialities that contain the indispensable ingredients to ensure successful moments and experiences. Nestled within the surrounding nature, the site is designed to provide all the conditions for comfort and safety, and aims to meet the needs of all types of audiences, including those with reduced mobility. The surrounding area also offers a wide range of experiences, whether for its historical, religious, or architectural heritage, gastronomy (Serra da Estrela cheese, Bravo de Esmolfe apples, Dão wine), landscapes, and natural beauty, as well as festivals, pilgrimages, hiking trails, and cultural and sporting events. The resort offers a unique and personalized tourism offering, as there are no spas in the surrounding area. Don't miss this opportunity! Energy Rating: B
