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!
What a beautiful new addition is this Hideaway on Portugal’s west coast, just an hour north of Lisbon. In this brand new hotel, careful consideration has been given to what the contemporary and pampered traveller needs. Rooms that not only look very handsome but are also very comfortable with a great bed, a good power shower and a terrace/balcony for hot days. There is a good spa, a fine outdoor pool and the food by chef Alexandre Silva is a treat that people come over for even from Lisbon.
The second Hideaway on São Miguel is located in a very special place: in the middle of a volcanic crater in the village of Furnas. The environment here is spectacular …. It is very green with lots of ferns and beautiful flowers, everywhere there are geysers steaming and hot springs bubbling. It creates a mysterious atmosphere and the village looks a bit like a film set. The biggest plus of this hotel is its own thermal springs (both indoors and outdoors), which guests can use 24 hours a day.
A Local Hideaway with an enormous wow factor! This hidden gem, situated in a picturesque medieval village in the Empordà, absolutely has it! Not surprising because the property is an old Italian palace and still breathes the grandeur and finesse of the wealthy Italian family that once used this house as a country retreat. Now it is proudly owned by the young enterprising Oleguer and Anna and they have transformed the palace into a small modern and luxurious pampering hotel.
