PROPERTY OVERViEW

Famed for its glorious Atlantic beaches, warm climate, welcoming atmosphere and low cost of living, Portugal continues to be known as one of the most desirable places across Europe to be. On offer here is a chance to invest into this consistently wonderful part of the world with this stunning hotel.

Located in the beautiful parish of Cela, near the city of Alcobaca, the hotel, known as Vale d'Azenha, was completed as recently as 2015 and features 17 rooms, 2 suites, 6 residences (villas), restaurant, bar and is set on a 22,000m2 site of beautiful land overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Residents at the hotel can also take advantage of many other wonderful facilities such as an outdoor swimming pool, indoor jacuzzi, sauna, gymnasium, auditorium for 45 people, laundry room and parking garage.

As well as being just a few miles from many of the stunning beaches and areas of outstanding natural beauty associated with Portugal, Alcobaca is also famed for the stunning Alcobaca Monastery, which dates back to the 12th century and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1989.

Alcobaca is not only a fascinating place in its own right but is also a great base from which to explore many of the other magnificent parts of Portugal such as nearby Leiria, Porto and the iconic capital Lisbon, which is just 77 miles away from the property.

Another huge draw for the region is the fact that is surrounded by a vast array of walking, cycling, water sports and fishing areas. Golf fans will also be happy with the fact that there are many excellent courses nearby such as Royal Obidos Spa & Golf Resort (25 miles away) and West Cliffs Golf Course (26 miles away). Football fans will be keen to note that the property is just 22 miles from the home stadium of professional club UD Leiria, and the proximity to Lisbon and Porto means the property is also just a few hours from the home stadium of FC Porto, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, three of the biggest clubs in world football.

The area is also very well-connected transport wise with excellent road and being close to the coast, is also easily accessed via sea. The nearest international airport is Lisbon Portela Airport, which is 66 miles away.

SURFERS PARADiSE

Many customers come to the hotel, attracted by the fascination of seeing live, the big waves and meeting those who can surf these giant water masses in nearby Nazare, which do not exist anywhere else in the world.

Some of the world's most famous big wave surfers know the hotel and are considered friends. Big brands associated to this phenomenon have also used the hotel for events and accommodation of their brand ambassadors or their executive clients. There are also magnificent places close by for surfing and schools for those interested in beginning this activity.

There was an excellent article written in the Guardian last year about the surfing scene in the area, which can be seen with the following link: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/aug/02/nazare-in-portugal-is-the-home-to-the-worlds-biggest-waves-and-bravest-surfers


ABOUT THE AREA

Only 100km north of Lisbon, the little town of Alcobaca has a charming if touristed centre with a little river and bijou bridges. All, however, yields centre stage to the magnificent 12th-century Mosteiro de Santa Maria de Alcobaca, one of Portugal's memorable Unesco World Heritage Sites.

The Leiria district is an agreeable mixture of medieval and modern, a lively university town built at the foot of a promontory fortified since Moorish times. The town's dramatically sited castle is a commanding presence above the narrow streets and red-tiled roofs of the historic centre, built along the lazy curves of the Rio Lis.

Dom Afonso iii convened a cortes (Portugal's early parliament) here in 1254; Dom Dinis established his main residence in the castle in the 14th century; and in 1411 the town's sizeable Jewish community built Portugal's first paper mill. Modern-day Leiria has a pleasant, low-key urban buzz and makes a convenient base for visiting nearby sights, including Alcobaca, Batalha, Fatima and the Pinhal de Leiria - all easily accessible by bus.
