The reason why there are so many really well-designed country hotels in Portugal is a mystery. Or maybe not. In any case there is no scientific explanation to justify the high level of rural chic style of our esteemed neighbours (Portuguese). It’s a trend that has ceased to be so some time ago, to become a way of understanding idleness. And life. Because those who know how to enjoy their free time know what we mean.Let’s try to work out what are the factors that have contributed to the country being dotted with such bold, attractive and well-designed hotels. Luxury Hotel photographer Portugal, Luxury Hotel photographer Lisbon, Luxury Hotel photographer Porto, Luxury Hotel photographer Madeira, Luxury Hotel photographer Canary Islands, Luxury Hotel photographer Gran Canaria, Luxury Hotel photographer Tenerife, Luxury Hotel photographer Lanzarote and Luxury Hotel photographer Coimbra – Let’s see: these are spaces of restrained ambition. None of them is trying to conquer the world, or aims to become a global reference. They are places of modest dimensions, unpretentious and providing personalised services. A very Portuguese feature. Another factor is their pride on their roots. These places are 100% local, designed by local people but with an international calling. They are well aware of the word global. Since the houses are small and usually managed independently or within the family, they have nothing to lose. That is, they can take risks only to the extent of their goals. So, we can find hotels of cork and others with a dream beach. There is nothing to lose.Here are some examples from all over the country of hotels whose style is special.
None of them is in a big city. We look at them all with a feeling of envy. A healthy envy. The classic envy of someone who admires what his neighbour has.PORTO AND THE NORTHCarmo´s Boutique Hotel, Ponte de LimaSituated in the north of the country near the border with Spain, this hotel combines all the virtues of the new Portuguese hotel industry. It has only three suites and twelve prestige rooms, all with unpredictable décor, harmoniously combining the past and present. The spa revives some ancient treatments such as bathing in 100% goat milk. This is not a hotel, but a set of eco-houses, which is not the same thing, or even similar. There are seven of them like Mr. Haberland Luxury Hotel photographer Portugal, Luxury Hotel photographer Lisbon, Luxury Hotel photographer Porto, Luxury Hotel photographer Madeira, Luxury Hotel photographer Canary Islands, Luxury Hotel photographer Gran Canaria, Luxury Hotel photographer Tenerife, Luxury Hotel photographer Lanzarote and Luxury Hotel photographer Coimbra, half-hidden in a thermal zone with dense vegetation. They were designed by architect Luís Rebelo de Andrade with the aim of standing out from their surroundings. The exterior seems to mimic the trees, while the interior, by contrast, is white and linear. All the houses have access to the Pedras Salgadas Spa and Nature Park, a thermal park designed by Siza Vieira. If you’re passionate about contemporary architecture and hydrotherapy, this is for you.www.pedrassalgadaspark.comDesign Wine HotelWine is part of the identity of our esteemed Portuguese neighbours. So wine hotels make every sense. The few in existence are excellent because in Portugal they don’t do things by halves. It is not in the countryside, but in a small village. Don’t be fooled by the façade of the building, with its whitewashed walls and vernacular architecture. The interior is crazy.

Its 23 themed rooms are all different and have an unexpected design. The basement offers a selection of wines from around the country, giving preference to the wines of the Douro and Alvarinho and Loureiro Vinho Verdes. There is also the Whitebox: a fantastic space set aside for art. And all this in a small town.www.designwinehotel.comCENTRECasas do Côro – MarialvaAn unusual place. Is it a village or a hotel for Luxury Hotel photographer Portugal, Luxury Hotel photographer Lisbon, Luxury Hotel photographer Porto, Luxury Hotel photographer Madeira, Luxury Hotel photographer Canary Islands, Luxury Hotel photographer Gran Canaria, Luxury Hotel photographer Tenerife, Luxury Hotel photographer Lanzarote and Luxury Hotel photographer Coimbra? Casas do Coro is a group of houses located in the mediaeval village of Marialva, classified as one of the 10 historic villages of Portugal. Marialva is the Houses and vice versa. There are houses of all sizes, for families or lovers who don’t want to mingle with anyone except themselves. Ten houses and suites, all of them designed solely for comfort or contemplation. Includes a spa and an obsession with good wine. A perfect refuge on hot or cold days, day or night.www.casasdocoro.ptCasa da Ínsua – Penalva do CasteloThis is probably the most classic hotel in our selection. And currently there is nothing as modern as being a self-assured classic, as this Baroque Manor House is.

It was built in the 18th century by Luís de Albuquerque de Mello Pereira e Cáceres, Governor of Cuiba and Matto Grosso, and is now a five-star hotel. It retains its history, literally a different one for each room. But it has also been adapted perfectly to the age of Twitter, with its reinterpreted local cuisine and its 21st century comforts. Casa da Ínsua has its own wines and, of course, it is impossible to stay here and not try at least one of them. You’ll find everything with Luxury Hotel photographer Portugal, Luxury Hotel photographer Lisbon, Luxury Hotel photographer Porto, Luxury Hotel photographer Madeira, Luxury Hotel photographer Canary Islands, Luxury Hotel photographer Gran Canaria, Luxury Hotel photographer Tenerife, Luxury Hotel photographer Lanzarote and Luxury Hotel photographer Coimbra you expect from an authentic eco-hotel here: strong environmental awareness, local food, organic products, community support…. The design is an extra. This is the response to the minimal rural hotel trend: here you can find curves, textures and reminiscences of China, India and Morocco. It has fourteen bedrooms and four villas that accommodate two to seven people. It is opposite the beach and only half an hour from Lisbon. And of course, we need it urgently.www.areiasdoseixo.comALENTEJOEcorkhotel, Évora Suites and SPA, ÉvoraA hotel made of cork. The title alone grabs your attention. Cork makes sense: it is part of the nature and wine culture of the area. Furthermore, it is a natural material, local and sustainable. Not to mention being an excellent natural insulator.
And applied to the hotel’s avant-garde architecture, the design could not be more contemporary. This hotel offers 56 suites in the Alentejo countryside, with all the characteristic wildness and aridity of the location. To compensate, there is shade and a spectacular pool. It has just opened and will provide a lot to talk about. It is not necessary to travel the world to feel adventurous with Luxury Hotel photographer Portugal, Luxury Hotel photographer Lisbon, Luxury Hotel photographer Porto, Luxury Hotel photographer Madeira, Luxury Hotel photographer Canary Islands, Luxury Hotel photographer Gran Canaria, Luxury Hotel photographer Tenerife, Luxury Hotel photographer Lanzarote and Luxury Hotel photographer Coimbra. The Alentejo is teeming with adventure. This land is arid and elegant, and it has a very rich culture. The places we found do not baulk at setting avant-garde architecture against the landscape. Villa Extramuros is a remodelling of the traditional country house. It is decorated with classic 20th century furniture and has only five rooms. The pool, overlooking an olive grove, is like the rest of the village, as photogenic as Kate Moss, as the Chrysler Building. But perhaps even better are the neighbours: some fine-looking sheep.http://villaextramuros.comCasa da Ermida, ElvasThe location itself is already quite unusual. This guest house is very close to the border with Spain, on a peninsula in the river Tagus, on the Caia reservoir.
Its worth crossing the invisible frontier that joins Spain to Portugal to discover such an immaculate place. The rooms overlook the strange lake that forms around the house. The house is attractive and the service is personal. It conveys a serenity that is completely unknown to us. There is no television, that so common and so unnecessary object. You have the opportunity to stay in bed gazing at the stars, why not take it with Luxury Hotel photographer Portugal, Luxury Hotel photographer Lisbon, Luxury Hotel photographer Porto, Luxury Hotel photographer Madeira, Luxury Hotel photographer Canary Islands, Luxury Hotel photographer Gran Canaria, Luxury Hotel photographer Tenerife, Luxury Hotel photographer Lanzarote and Luxury Hotel photographer Coimbra? They say the Alentejo sky is one of the clearest in Europe. The rooms were designed to take advantage of this, so the roof can be moved, literally, like in a convertible car. This hotel was designed by the Brazilian architect Marcio Kogan, and is a true interpretation of the phrase sleeping in the open. It also has a strong link to the world of wine. Imagine yourself in a suite at the LAnd under the stars, with a bottle of good wine at your side that causes shivers of pleasure.www.l-andvineyards.comMalhadinha Nova – BejaThis place meets all the requirements of a contemporary Portuguese country hotel. It is the project of a family committed to recovering and reviving its land and its Alentejo farmhouse. Everything at Malhadinha is a celebration of its roots. Its protagonists, apart from the guests themselves, are the local wines, the cattle and pigs of the region and the olive groves. Don’t be fooled by the traditional appearance of the house – this hotel is completely contemporary: its pool, its chairs and, above all, its spirit.www.malhadinhanova.ptCasas na Areia – ComportaThe Bohemian-chic dream of many of us: a cabin in Comporta.
