Tucked away on the edge of the enchanting Ria Formosa nature park, in the peaceful eastern Algarve, lies this hideaway. An old quinta transformed into five first class holiday homes, with terracotta floors, vintage heirlooms and a garden filled with fragrant flowers. With two swimming pools, a spacious yoga sala and a wonderful restaurant, this is the perfect place to truly unwind or host your own retreat, far from the crowds.
The Vicentina coast is an absolute gem of a place in South-West Portugal, with its wild and wonderful nature, making it a total paradise for hikers, cyclists, surfers and all you outdoor enthusiasts out there. Surrounded by all this beauty, I found a special Local Hideaway. This beautiful luxury hotel reflects nature in its design, with hushed architecture reminiscent of the clean lines and pisé construction of Morocco, as well as in its tasteful interior. Get ready for the perfect place to step back, still and let nature, wellness and tranquillity awaken your senses… slow travel to the max!
Liz, Alex and their young family were looking for a ‘slow living’ lifestyle in southern Portugal. They ended up in a lovely spot with a beautiful garden and a refreshing swimming pool, where they started a small B&B. It’s contemporary, but not aimed at hipsters or influencers; it’s for people who want to slow down and connect. The perfect place to discover the beautiful surroundings, or simply do nothing at all. A lovely Local Hideaway where Liz and Alex’s attention to detail makes you feel right at home.
In their search for the right place for their new life, Jack and Walter found a beautiful old building in Olhão (Eastern Algarve) where a notable doctor once lived with his family. After an intense renovation, they were finally able to open the doors of their fantastic hotel: an inspiring place where ten rooms, a roof terrace with a small pool, a coffee shop with the most delicious French pastries and a gallery guarantee a wonderful stay. Not to mention the breakfast… divine!!! A great addition to my beloved Olhão!
