Vila Viçosa (Conceio), Evora 7160

16Th-Century convent located in the illustrious and noble town of Vila Viçosa. This property is a true haven, where time seems to have stood still. Dating from the 16th century, this historic building preserves intact the soul and design of its original construction. Its architecture perfectly reflects the sobriety and elegance typical of religious orders, harmoniously combined with the characteristic materials of the region. To guarantee the future of this legacy with maximum security and clarity for investors and visionaries, the property already has a Preliminary Information Request (Pip) approved by the Vila Viçosa Municipal Council. It is important to highlight that this is a qualified Pip, the result of a long, complex and rigorous preparation process. This document reflects a process of extreme maturity: it already has the demanding favorable opinions of the Cultural Heritage, I.P. And the Ccdr - Culture area. Aiming to enhance the value of the built heritage and the surrounding area, this qualified Pip foresees a total construction area of 5345 m². Here, the new construction of two buildings stands outone with 2167 m² and the other with 673 m²planned for perfect integration into the landscape and history of the site. The Pip (Project of Public Interest) thus contemplates the guidelines for the creation of a hotel unit with approximately 59 accommodation units, integrating excellent amenities such as a swimming pool, spa, restaurant, gym, and co-working spaces. Inside the convent, the long and imposing corridors and halls are crowned by magnificent barrel vaults, which guarantee not only extraordinary visual spaciousness but also excellent acoustics. The walls, covered with traditional 18th-century Portuguese tile panels, represent invaluable testimonies of decorative art. The cloister, located in the heart of the building, is flanked by arcaded corridors, enriched by stucco details and scattered altars, also highlighting the presence of a historic cistern. The entire building showcases the use of fine materials, from the original rustic terracotta tile flooring and majestic solid wood doors to the stonework sculpted from the region's world-famous marble. Additionally, the large windows and the layout around the internal courtyards allow natural light to flood all the spaces. Regarding its size, the current built area is 3,028 m², spread over two floors around the stunning central cloister. The property also includes a vast plot of land of approximately 24,446 m². Surrounded by typical Alentejo landscapes, the exterior areas include picturesque orange groves, olive groves, and vineyards. This part of the property also features large wells, a cistern, and a caretaker's house, elements that complement the functionality and reinforce the connection to the rural and historical experience. Its conversion into a boutique hotel or charming tourist accommodation thus emerges as a natural and structured evolution, ideal for exploring the region's growing tourism. Alternatively, the space retains all the conditions to be transformed into a luxury private residence or even to house a foundation, establishing itself as a prestigious venue for cultural events. Strategically located in the Évora district, the property is a short walk from important landmarks such as the iconic Ducal Palace and Vila Viçosa Castle, part of the famous Marble Route. Its privileged location allows quick access to gems like Estremoz, Elvas and Monsaraz, being only about 40 minutes from the cities of Évora and Badajoz, and approximately one hour and forty-five minutes from Lisbon. A rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Portuguese history. Ricardo Grácio Energy Rating: F ref:RG2062
