From the Caribbean to Lake Como, More Hotels Are Embracing the Off Season | Condé Nast Traveler

"Set on a whitewashed estate dotted with olive trees in Alentejo, I found the farm-style rooms especially cozy in cooler months, with throws and shuttered windows that make for perfect wintry nights; in spring the property is blanketed by wildflowers and in fall the olive harvest begins. As Mediterranean heat waves and summer crowds have grown, the hotel has leaned into its all-season appeal by launching a year-round collection of traditional workshops—olive oil tasting, mixology, wine blending, pottery making, and floral arranging—and by emphasizing seasonal, farm-to-table fare." - Mary Holland
