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!
A real family home, SO stylish, like staying in an interior design book. Inspiration for your home! But with only this description, you don’t do justice to the house because it also has a huge soul. There is room for 9/10 people and it is fully equipped. It is a great place to be all year round. The area is beautiful and is a perfect base to explore the Algarve. But it is also the perfect Hideaway to unwind and do nothing… together with family and/or friends.
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.
I finish my trip on São Miguel on the south side of the island, here is a small exclusive hotel hidden behind a long white wall. You cannot imagine from the outside what is hidden behind the door and it’s such a surprise when you have entered and see the fantastic view from the terrace at the back. WOW, this is sea view… the Atlantic Ocean seems to embrace you, as the hotel is located on top of a spectacular volcanic cliff right by the sea. This hotel is ‘adults only’, something that fits well with its small scale and exclusivity.
