The village of Cidadelhe in Mesão Frio will get an investment of six million euros for the restoration of a fort and the building of a five-star hotel. Work starts this June on the 44 room hotel. The hotel will keep the original outline of a seventeenth century manor house, the Quinta do Paço de Cidadelhe and include a spa, restaurant, bar and museum. The ruins of the fort will be restored, and the area will become a park with species native to the surrounding area.
