A famous French shoe designer opening a hotel in Portugal… it sounds a bit strange, doesn’t it?! But Christian Louboutin has loved coming to the west coast in the Alentejo below Lisbon for years and also has his own home there. So it was a logical step to unleash his creative brain on a new small-scale luxury hotel in authentic Melides.
He created a beautifully eclectic place where his love of art and travel come together in perfect balance. Of course, with every comfort and quality.
Just outside a picturesque small village, Paul and Fran found their Italian dream home. An old farmhouse with thick ocher-colored sandstone walls, plenty of space, surrounded by fruit trees and views of Marche’s rolling hills and high fortified villages. The perfect Hideaway to slow down and to enjoy local Italian (rural) life. Suitable for max. 6 persons.
A hidden gem, adults only, in the lovely town of Boliqueime… this small-scale boutique hotel meets the Local Hideaways wishes. Only 7 rooms, a pittoresque courtyard where a delicious dinner is served in the summer months and brunch in the other months. Beautiful art by Meinke Flesseman (a personal fave) decorates the walls. Boliqueime is a lovely nice town in the Central Algarve with authentic restaurants/bars and a few great shops.
For years, my love and I have been dreaming of our own Local Hideaway… a nice place under the sun where we can stay a bit longer, work remotely and unwind to the max. And so some years ago we bought Casa Cubista, a spacious town house an hour’s drive from Malaga located in a small authentic white mountain village in the Axarquia, Andalusia. Now that everything is ready and we have been enjoying the house regularly ourselves, it is time to share it with like-minded people. If you are looking for an unspoilt place to hike, write or paint, work or just unwind, in short enjoy authentic Spanish life then Casa Cubista is the perfect Hideaway for you!
