Description
Aldeia da Cumeada, in the municipality of Reguengos de Monsaraz, received the Best Tourism Village seal yesterday! The ceremony took place in Madrid. There are opportunities that cannot be missed and although Cumeada may, at first glance, not have the tourist resources traditionally attributed to a village, says Apolónia Rodrigues from Dark Sky® Alqueva, in fact the implementation of the headquarters of Dark Sky® Alqueva and its Official Observatory in the old primary school, allowed another path that focuses on differentiation and innovation. Added to this is the integration of Dark Sky® into the UNWTO as an Affiliate Member, in international projects such as One Planet Travel with Care and WORLDCOB, and the signing of international agreements, such as the Glasgow Declaration and the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative. And to complement this, the installation of an accommodation unit, Casa da Cumeada, which promotes healthy eating within the macrobiotic concept, clearly shows the ability to balance the traditional life of a village and the innovative elements that emerge and take root. Dark Sky® Alqueva is an astrotourism destination certified as a Starlight Tourism Destination since 2011 and with dozens of international awards, especially since 2019, which promotes an integrated model of sustainable development. This model applies a short, medium and long-term vision, which since its creation I have been improving based on experience, obstacles and social changes that change ways of seeing, feeling and living, not only ours but also that of visitors and residents. The Dark Sky® Alqueva team understood that this development model, which translates into the way the destination itself develops throughout its territory, including Aldeia da Cumeada, would be a reason for differentiation compared to another way of developing and seeing the villages and therefore strong enough to be a candidate for a UNWTO seal. This villa comprises on the ground floor an entrance hall, a large lounge with fireplace, kitchen, dining room with fireplace, bathroom, it also has a backyard kitchen, with pantry, bathroom and a large backyard with an outdoor garden with a garage for 4 vehicles, swimming pool, vegetable garden and a borehole that waters the entire garden, on the upper floor it consists of 4 bedrooms and a suite, and bathroom. The building also has a shop (café) on the ground floor with a kitchen, counter room, dining room, and men's and women's toilets and a pantry/storage room. It also has the possibility of increasing the construction area by up to 1000m2 more than the existing one. Excellent investment opportunity.
