For buyers searching for an Alentejo property for sale that could become a guest house or boutique hotel, this 20-room mansion near Sousel is a compelling renovation opportunity. It is priced at €595,000 and offers around 1,800 m² of living area on a 2.45-hectare plot. The scale, room count and collection of outbuildings provide a strong starting point for a hospitality concept, subject to planning and licensing approval. Built in the 1920s, the mansion retains traditional character that could support a distinctive heritage-led accommodation brand. The two-storey main building includes 10 bedrooms and two bathrooms in its current configuration. Its footprint exceeds 1,000 m², allowing architects to consider redesigned guest rooms, reception spaces and shared areas. An adjoining 63.80 m² building contains a kitchen and two rooms. A service corridor links this outbuilding to the house and provides access towards a small first-floor terrace. The 85 m² shed and 113.80 m² barn could offer further possibilities for storage, workshops or complementary guest facilities. The extensive grounds create room for landscaped gardens and outdoor relaxation areas. Countryside views would contribute to a peaceful rural retreat atmosphere. The property has a private well and cistern, which should be professionally assessed before any commercial redevelopment. A log burner adds a traditional touch to the existing interiors. Cano is a village location within the Sousel municipality, offering an authentic northern Alentejo setting.
