Peaceful 3+1 bedroom village house, close to Marialva castle.

In the north of the district of Guarda, on the southern edge of the county of Mêda, where the Beira region borders the Douro region, the historic village of Marialva is a sun-drenched gem at 600 m altitude. Castle, citadel, churches and chapels dominate this village, which makes its living from tourism and the production of honey, olives and wine. A large, unfurnished four-bedroom house is just four minutes away, down a quiet side street.

Not overlooked, and on the edge of the village and countryside, this building offers 148 m2 of living space on two levels and an extension on the second floor (surface area correction in progress). Each floor has its own balcony and the entrance is from the street.

On the ground floor, there is a large living room in two parts: on the right is a convivial area with a brick corner bar and a small roof, typical of village houses. A window overlooks the street, and there is an entrance hall leading to an open-plan kitchen at the back.
It has plenty of storage space, an open fireplace, electric oven, four gas rings (bottled) and extractor hood.

To the right of the kitchen are two doors; the first opens into a service bathroom, the second into the passageway for the stairs. A very small enclosed cellar is tempered by the exposed rock.
On the first floor, a grey granite corner fireplace warms a large, bright lounge, which has a window and a French window leading to the balcony. To the left is the master bedroom and a large front window. Opposite the window, a storage cupboard is closed off by a door. Below the staircase is a bathroom with bath.
The steps leading to the second floor are lit by an opening with a balustrade halfway up.
Here, the hall faces a room under the sloping roof, where a Velux window can be opened, which can be used as a study, games room or storage space. There are two bedrooms on either side of the corridor, each with a large window. At the far end, a French window opens onto a balcony centred on the façade, which offers a beautiful, uninterrupted view.

A family home or a haven of peace for your holidays, this village house is an opportunity not to be missed.

Marialva is a historic landmark in the district. Dating back to Roman times, this site is a window on Portugal's rich history. A place of tradition and culture, this very well-preserved fortified town enjoys optimal sunshine conditions, an enviable quality of life and a warm, smiling welcome from its inhabitants. Quality tourism is gradually developing here. There is still plenty of potential.
Between the upper and lower parts of Marialva, you'll find a number of cafés, a post office, a café-restaurant and delicatessen, a tourist centre and a top-of-the-range hotel suite and spa.
Sports enthusiasts will be delighted: numerous motorbike, bike, trail and hiking paths radiate out from the Citadel. Fresh air and impressive views guaranteed. You can catch your breath, leaning against the back of the Santa Bárbara chapel, admiring the panorama.
To get a good idea of the beauty of the area, I recommend setting off from Moreira de Rei, on the EM600 northwards, at the entrance to A-do-Cavalo, take the EM603 on the right, cross Carvalhal and continue on the same road towards Devesa de Marialva.
