"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

"A boutique hotel in rural Portugal revitalizing traditional farmland with sustainable practices, featuring organic orchards and a focus on maintaining natural ecosystems."

"A good place to relax and enjoy the Algarve's magical summer nights is Companhia da Culturas. This boutique hotel is located in Castro Marim, full of nature and tranquility, where one of the biggest highlights is its hammam and its own production of certified organic fruit, vegetables, and herbs (products that are used in various ways throughout the hotel)." - The MICHELIN Guide

"A writer/farmer and his wife have turned a working family farm (still growing olives, quince, oranges, figs, and more) into Companhia das Culturas, a nine-room, four-apartment agritourism escape that is tied intimately to the land." - Mark Fedeli
