What they say
Also in Wallpaper*.
a low-lying white four-bedroom building combining modern minimalism with a rural timelessness.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Four hundred hectares of cork oak groves, wildflower meadows, and natural lakes stretch out from the secluded farmhouse grounds.
The rooms
Four minimalist suites feature heated rust-red clay floors, walk-in showers finished in handmade tiles, and deep windows framing rural pastureland.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A 400-square-meter beach-entry pool sits sunken in the fields, mirroring the open sky and surrounding pastureland.
At the table
Breakfast brings fresh bread, local cheeses, and farm eggs to the long wooden table beside the open marble kitchen.
How it began
