The interior of the house can best be described as relaxed elegance. The furnishings and decor reflect the opulence of earlier times when trade with Brazil and India was at its height.

The present owners have maintained this spirit and have introduced an atmosphere of comfort and luxury.

The imposing facade of the Solar can be seen from the road and the entrance, carved in granite, displays the original owner's coat of arms.

The 17th century chapel has also been restored to its former glory by the present owners.

Solar de Alvega has two sitting rooms, a dining room where breakfast is served, and a downstairs cloakroom. If required, dinner based on traditional recipes, maybe arranged on request. One of the rooms has a magnificent fireplace and its wonderfully furnished.

The house has 6 double bedrooms, all are equipped with air conditioning and private bathroom. Four of the bedrooms are on the first floor, they are beautifully furnished with great attention to detail. They are very spacious and could easily accommodate an extra bed.

The remaining two bedrooms are located on the second floor and are smaller. Each has a shower and there is a separate bathroom.

Close to the house there is a stream and a spectacular waterfall which can be seen from most of the bedrooms. There is also a path to the river which runs alongside the house.

The waterfall can also be seen from the swimming pool which is equipped with massage and has a depth varying from 1,20 to 1,80 metres. The dimensions are 13 x 5 metres. The sound of the waterfall is wonderfully relaxing on a hot summer's day.

Overlooking the stream is a large patio area and adjacent to this is a function room of 250 square meters. It is ideal for weddings, banquets, conferences etc. with a seating capacity for up to 180 persons.
