Original stone walls, exposed beams and vaulted ceilings throughout, combined with modern infrastructure, solar hot water and central heating powered by two wood-burning fireplaces. With registered AL license, capacity for up to ten people in five bedrooms, two independent kitchens and an autonomous guest suite, the quinta is ready to operate as a rental from day one, or to be enjoyed as a spacious and characterful family home. The Property Facing the main house, three doors open at ground level. To the right is the Gormley Suite, the proprietors' private autonomous accommodation. The central door leads to the connecting double bedroom. To the left is the entrance to the main house. To the right of the main entrance is the micro-brewery, and beyond it the art studio with kiln, both available subject to separate negotiation outside of the sale. Gormley Suite Accessed from the right, the suite has its own kitchen and dining area with vaulted ceiling and granite countertops, a bathroom and a door opening onto the covered courtyard and walled bar. Stairs lead to the upper floor where the master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and a separate sitting area, a truly autonomous retreat, removed from the rest of the house. Connecting Bedroom The central door leads to a double bedroom at the junction of the two sides of the house. A lockable connecting door allows the suite to function with complete privacy when the proprietors are present, or the entire quinta to be opened as a single rental for larger groups. Main House The entrance to the left leads through a hallway with a full bathroom and into the main living room, with original stone walls, wooden beams and a wood-burning fireplace feeding the central heating. A door from the living room opens directly onto the rear courtyard and garden. The second fully equipped kitchen and adjacent dining area match the suite's kitchen in quality and finish. Stairs from the living room lead to three further bedrooms, the remaining bathrooms and the linen closet with solar hot water system. Outside The walled courtyard off the Gormley Suite offers a covered bar and entertainment space, private and protected. The rear garden of 690 m² (7,427 sq ft) is fully enclosed and landscaped, with a second courtyard accessed directly from the main living room. Parking for six or more vehicles on site. Location Alvorge sits within Serra de Sicó, a protected limestone landscape with caves, gorges, river valleys and ancient forest that attracts hikers, cyclists and nature lovers year-round. This is not a place where guests pass through — it is a destination in its own right. Local cafés, restaurants and a mini-market are just minutes away. Ansão is 20 minutes away, Coimbra 25 minutes. The slate village network Aldeias do Xisto, Silver Coast beaches and Mata Nacional do Buçaco forest are all within an hour. Lisbon and Porto airports are each 1.5 to 2 hours' drive away.
