Welcome to paradise, Villa ExtramurosPortugal is an undiscovered jewel!  For those who have explored this magnificent country  discovering it’s myriad of gifts and options: undeveloped terrain, in-tact local traditions from the food to the clothing to the mythology, sweeping coastal vistas and now…Guests can lounge among orange trees and a water basin in the secluded courtyard of this dreamy Portuguese guesthouse by Jordi Fornells and Rolf Heinemann of Vora Arquitectura.

This minimalist magnificence allows a cohabitation of interior and exterior, transcending all labels, it is as serene as it is exciting, as modern as it is traditional. The communal living rooms of Villa Extramuros open out onto the central courtyard and the dining room has a terrace that faces the surrounding fields and olive trees. Floors and ceilings inside the building are concrete, while cork lines a selection of exterior walls and surfaces. The landscape is nothing short of spectacular, olive and orange trees and grazing sheep just add to the visual eye candy of this magical spot.
