Algarve

Just a short walk from Aljezur and an eight-minute drive from Praia da Amoreira, this former farmhouse nestles in the hills of the Costa Vicentina, surrounded by fields and weathered cork oaks.

Unwind in style: Set in a vineyard, the three accommodations at Quinta da Lila give an old Portuguese farm a new lease of life - with subtle aesthetics, contemporary comfort and unusual pools.

Regional tradition and minimalist zeitgeist: The former sheepfold is located in the heart of the protected Reserva Natural do Sapal in the Sotavento - the less explored part of the Algarve.

A green oasis with urban flair: light and air fill the open, bright architecture of Casa Joana. A retreat in the sun-drenched Algarve that celebrates laid-back outdoor living.

A garden of Mediterranean trees and flowering shrubs in a small village in the hinterland of the Algarve: in the middle of it all is Casa Linear - a farmhouse renovated with a great deal of sense and flair, looking out over the sea that sparkles in the distance. A straightforward homage to simplicity.

Poetic minimalism behind an artful façade: the virtuously decorated Casa 1923 is one of Faro's outstanding Art Nouveau buildings. With their careful handling of traditions and materials, the architects of PAr tie in with the building's past and redefine it for today's needs.

Light, tranquillity and botanical delights. 250 m above sea level, surrounded by a huge garden with ancient olive, almond and carob trees, the Monte das Marés guesthouse looks out over dense green hills to the Atlantic.

Faro is known to be the gateway to the Algarve region. Faro is also an important centre of southern European modernism. One of these buildings is “The Modernist”, located in the city centre.

At Casa2020, you can spend your holiday in a former monastery in the coastal town of Tavira in the Portuguese Algarve. Pritzker Prize winner Eduardo Souto de Moura has converted the monument into an apartment complex.

Convento is hidden at the end of a narrow lane in the coastal town of Olhão – very close to the promenade and the local markets.

Casa da Lila in the historic old town of Silves in southern Portugal is full of surprises. Hidden behind its modest traditional façade, you will find contemporary architecture and an exquisite interior.

Casa Modesta is located in the Ria Formosa Nature Park, a protected natural lagoon on the Portuguese Algarve. To the owners Casa Modesta means more than just a hotel: they associate happy childhood memories with the estate that once belonged to their grandfather.
