Favourite bits.
-
The story of the estate. São Lourenço do Barrocal has been in the same family for more than 200 years, and it was José António Uva (who is eight generation of the same family) who had a vision to turn the family property into a farm retreat he could share with others. The passion and dedication behind José António’s dream, and what he has created, is incredibly inspiring.
-
The interiors. Perfectly simple and calming. The interior design was led by José António’s wife Ana’s design studio, AnahoryAlmeida (also responsible for the interiors of many of Lisbon’s finest restaurants) and it is a dream.
-
Hortelão, their outdoor restaurant. The most beautiful place to dine between Spring through Autumn, this slow-food, farm to fork restaurant is located next to the pool, right by the organic kitchen garden, and is the perfect place to enjoy a dinner under the stars.
Our story.
Thank you for finding your way to It’s Beautiful Here, a glimpse into my travels of the past 11 years since quitting corporate life in Australia for a life on the road.
It’s Beautiful Here is a collection of deeply personal and curated travel guides, interviews and stories, motivated and inspired by the heartwarming, the unusual, and the beautiful local people, places and experiences I have been lucky enough to encounter along the way. For me, the beautiful thing about travel is that the more we do, and with every new personal connection we make, the world gets a little bit smaller and more navigable.
I am so inspired by the people I meet, and am honoured to feature and share some of their very best local recommendations (along with my favourites as well) within these pages.
If you find here even the smallest bit of inspiration for your next adventure, I will be happy.
Thank you for coming along.
