Sustainability

In addition to a prominent tourist development in the region, this complex also has a lower environmental impact:

• Use of renewable energies using solar thermal panels and geothermal:
• The electricity they consume is 100% renewable from the Coopérnico cooperative , with whom they share values caring for the environment, creation of social value, local development, transparency and integrity.
• Restoration of the main house and construction of the bungalows with high energy efficiency based on good thermal insulation on the walls and windows, in order to reduce the consumption of air conditioning.
• Reuse of surplus hot water that is sent to the pool.
• Pool water treatment carried out through the salt electrolysis system : a new treatment concept that improves water quality (does not produce chloramins that irritate eyes and skin, are the cause of smells and chlorine flavor) and avoids the manipulation of Chemicals.
• Use of residual and rainwater in the irrigation system.
• Separation of waste at source for better recycling , and treatment of organic waste through the composting system .

Reduction of electrical consumption , using: presence detectors to turn on the lights; LED lamps for lighting; televisions and computers with LED screens; a single computer is used for 4 simultaneous users in the public use area and one with 2 users at the reception.

Currently this complex is only open in weekends , bank holidays and summer holidays, generating a turn over of approx 200.000 euro/year.

It is obvious that this amount can be tripled by opening the Complex all year round combined with an extensive international web -promoting- campaign or appearances on specialized B&B platforms.

As the owners do not reside in Portugal, they can not spend full dedication to this project so decided offer it for sale.
