"Sometimes, the best view is just nothing. Well, not nothing necessarily, but miles and miles of countryside, where wildflowers bloom and horses wander. For me, there are few places as beautiful as the Alentejo; the Portuguese interior where space feels bigger, sunsets are more colorful ,and people are just happier. São Lourenço do Barrocal is a special place that captures this laid-back beauty perfectly. The terraces outside the farmhouse rooms are a place of perfect calm, where sitting with a morning coffee is as rejuvenating as a 60-minute massage. I’m a city lover, but there’s really nothing like looking out onto the rolling hills, hearing every single sound of nature and breathing in the warm country air. It’s a place I return to in my head often when I crave peace, and I know I’ll cherish that view forever."
