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.

​
Being on the road for the last 12 years, I have had my fair share of extraordinary (and also, very trying) travel experiences. I have forever been obsessed with connecting with the locals wherever I go, always trying to find the more interesting and off-the-beaten track things to do and explore - though a local lens. I have definitely found a lot of little diamonds along the way and am very happy to share these with you. I can help put together a thoughtfully-curated list of custom travel ideas and recommendations to best suit your personal taste and travel style. I can also handle all of your hotel bookings.
