Why This Region Nicknamed “the California of Europe” Should Be on Your Must-Visit List | Vogue

"Don’t let the old-school website fool you—this understated agritourism boutique hotel is as stylish as they come. Set on 100 tree-filled acres in the Castro Marim Nature Reserve just a short drive from Tavira, it offers an off-the-grid experience that’s nourishing for the senses and the soul; furnished with a curated selection of iconic design pieces against crisp stucco walls and floor-to-ceiling windows, the vibe is minimalist-serene. Meals feature ingredients grown on-premises or nearby, a marble Turkish hammam invites unwinding between dips in the pool, and there’s even a house spa line made from local, native plant extracts plus an on-site library that hosts workshops and talks." - Christina Pérez, Lindsay Lambert Day
