Embrace all the beauty of Portugal at Villa Extramuros. Sitting on 12 acres of serene landscape, guests are encouraged to take a jog through the olive trees or have a picnic in the citrus orchard. For your enjoyment, surrounding meadows are ecologically protected to allow natural vegetation and wildlife to flourish while nearby flocks of sheep to live peacefully.
Modern yet minimal, you can leave your clutter thoughts at home and step into this welcoming retreat. The guest rooms spare nothing at making you feel privileged. All come with private terrace space, some offer views of castles. The seamless design of the bathroom has amenities such as marble shower stall, rain shower, and spa quality soaps. The infinite pool is a luxurious experience with breathtaking views of the countryside and plenty of the Portugal sun to soak up. Every common room is meticulously designed with unique furniture pieces, animal rugs and a charming vibe. Though beautifully arranged inside, the obvious focal point of this hotel are those irresistible views.

I find a way to fearlessly provoke your senses and take you by the heart to whatever it is I’m writing about. My sweet spot is creative writing, but for the last 20 years I have been providing freelance content for publications on sustainability and green practices, design, architecture, fashion, and non-profit charity. Recently all wrapped up in producing my first book. I have bounced from NYC to Indianapolis, but my true home is a lovely small town in Central Pennsylvania where there’s a legit drive-your-tractor-to-school-day.
