FAZENDA NOVA, ALGARVE, PORTUGAL
This chic, pared-down boutique hotel has brought a dash of sophistication to the rural eastern Algarve. Set amid carob, almond, olive and pomegranate trees, the 19th-century house has been beautifully renovated by British owners Hallie and Tim Robinson using driftwood, polished cement and varnished eucalyptus wood. There are three big bedrooms in the main house; all have simple Balinese furniture and duck-egg-blue bathrooms with rain showers and REN goodies. At the heart of the house is a cosy bar with an excellent selection of Portuguese wines and a restaurant where the menu reflects the season and the fruits of the garden; fresh seafood is put to good use in regional specialities such as cataplana. Dotted around the gardens are a further seven suites and a penthouse, each with private outside space. Bordered by lavender and rosemary, the swimming pool is a wonderful spot to survey all that surrounds you, which is quite simply bucolic tranquility as far as the eye can see.
Fazenda Nova, Santo Estevao, Santo Estêvão, Tavira, Portugal. Doubles from about £135 (00 351 281 961913; www.fazendanova.eu)
