Portuguese Paradise

Since I seem to have travel and interiors on the brain this week, I thought I would continue the theme by showing you a little slice of Portuguese heaven. I often wonder what I would do if I packed in city life and lived in the sticks. I fantasise that I would own a small B&B that me and my guy would lovingly craft (in total agreement of everything). We would live off the earth and to make extra cash, we would attract the muesli persuasion city dwellers to spend the weekend. Ha! Wishful Thinking eh? 

The Muxima - Montes Ferreiros, Portugal fits my vision exactly. This rural B&B has rooms themed around countries of the owners travels and is situated within a protected natural park! The rooms all look so cozy and inviting and I can totally picture myself having my morning coffee on that sun-soaked terrace!

  6. Oh, you totally had me at "Portugal"...that is one of my top places to visit! I actually even speak Portuguese (I know, who the freak speaks Portuguese???) so I would be right at home! Love the rustic laid back vibe, so perfect for a vacation!

  7. Those first few pictures of the tables outside, etc. immediately made me relax. What a beautiful spot with lots of very natural details! Portugal is one of the favorite trips we have had since we have been in Europe, but I missed this place unfortunately...next time!

  9. I want to go! Let me just quickly locate that non-existent life savings that we have lying around, or a wealthy great-grandmother who is going to give us her inheritance. Seriously, these pictures are so gorgeous and serene.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog--we thought the one-armed girl was disturbing too, particularly once she acquired a gaping hole in her head as well :)

  10. Oh, I love your vision of having a bed and breakfast!
    How lovely that would be to get to live in a place where everyone else wants to vacation...especially if it looked liked the Muxima :)

  16. It's wonderful to see such an authentic space. I especially like the exterior which would be the perfect space to have lunch.
