What happens when you get an urbane family from the big city following their dream of setting up a little bit of paradise in this part of the world?
Well, if things are done as they should be - that is with passion, style and sophistication - the end result should be something like the Casas do Sal. In short, the “Salt Houses”, to give it the Portuguese name, mixes the charm and absolute pleasure of southern rural Portugal with the refinement of owners who possess undoubted good taste. We like to call it rustic sophistication and this description fits the Casas do Sal right down to a tee.
So despite the simple pastoral idyll, the whole place is still imbued with a trendy and really cool feel, yet still perfectly capable of offering superb family holidays. here is no contradiction in being integrated within a two thousand hectare area, some 100 km south of Lisbon, where peace and tranquility rein, guests will definitely impressed by the wall the end of the pool. Not only is it a pretty piece in itself, but at night it doubles up as a super wide screen onto which movies are shown – a great little touch, and typical of the imaginative way things are done here.
The large suites and apartments – there are four of each – maintain a minimalist approach with colour themes running throughout which don’t take anything away from the surroundings. Some of the accommodations are also reserved for non smokers. With all of this going on, it’s unsurprising this is one of our favourite accommodations in the region.
