Cosy Mountain Retreat in the Centre of Portugal. Alba is a century-old stone house located in the Vale de Alvados e Alcaria, in the Aire and Candeeiros Mountains Natural Park. Surrounded by nature—mountains, oak trees, and olive groves—it offers a serene retreat. Here, you breathe fresh air, hear the sounds of nature, and experience true tranquillity. Nearby, you'll find natural wonders like the Grutas and the Fórnea. Casa Alba hosts up to 4 guests and features a bedroom, living room, bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, and areas for work and relaxation. The garden and patio, accessed through the back door, are private for guests. Lovingly restored, the house retains its original 99-year-old structure, including wooden ceilings, doors, and floors. The name “Alba” is inspired by the Paeonia broteroi, a rare wildflower native to the region, which also inspired the home’s color palette. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport -
