Casa almóada is a quirky and secretly secluded 4-bedroom Boutique Home (12+) which has flourished from its XIX century rammed-earth walls, right at the heart of the purest Algarve. This hidden and serene countryside – where the rugged shapes of the “Barrocal” hold hands (1.5km) with the picturesque little town of São Brás de Alportel (Southern Portugal) – is the faithful guardian of dazzling beaches kissed by the enchanting Ria Formosa.
This is how I want to vacation – easy, breezy and totally casual and inviting. Your stay at almóada includes a fully equipped kitchen & outdoor plancha, on-hand concierge, chlorine-free heated plunge pool, indoor & outdoor fireplaces, king sized beds and a long list of extra experiences (the traditional dinner, exclusive wine & art interpretative session sounds lovely!). Loooove the pool area and outdoor dining space – and that view! Oh what a fabulous vacation spot this would be! Click here to book stay at this gem.

This remarkable hilltop dwelling seamlessly blends industrial charm with contemporary design. Three interconnecting pavilions sit atop a hillside in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. Think contemporary design meets industrial-style barns, open-plan spaces and precast concrete panels. Connecting the pavillions is an art gallery walk defining areas and connecting with the vast landscape. In such a rural area sustainability takes centre stage, featuring solar power, rainwater harvesting and fire safety measures. This off-grid residence embodies meticulous planning, offering a unique blend of form, function, and environmental consciousness. Highlands House by Luke Maloney Architecture.
