SOLAR ALEGRIA
Solar Alegria is a captivating blend of two historic houses, dating back to 1856 and 1843. Over the years, these remarkable structures have undergone several renovations, culminating in their present-day splendor. Secluded at the end of a road, this enchanting retreat ensures a remarkable degree of privacy, boasting abundant greenery and awe-inspiring vistas of the valley and the river. Encircled by sprawling fields, the landscape delights visitors with its ever-changing hues and captivating atmosphere.
Conveniently located just 25 minutes away from the pristine beaches of Aveiro. There, you can indulge in the pleasures of a vast sandy beach, accompanied by a charming fisherman’s village and a delectable array of freshly caught seafood. For those who love surfing, you’ll be pleased to know that fantastic surf spots are also within easy reach, ensuring an exciting aquatic adventure awaits you.
