Conjure thoughts of a colourful fishing village, lush mangroves, pristine natural beach, a place in sync with its surrounds…a working retreat to re-charge those depleted grey cells or just crash and bum around immersed in complete rustic luxury. Created by the iconic Wilbert Das, whose non-chichi approach is intelligent, yet playful and has all the signatures of localness. Each private “CASA” within the fertile estate has its own sculptured feel ‘n touch. Sun bleached woods; a poetic inclusion of ethnic references and a witty use of natural materials add a sense of, well, pure hedonism. A place that is honest, clever and native. Paradise found.

In the beautiful village of Trancoso, there are plenty of opportunities to soak of the unique blend of internationalism that has become the town's local flavor, but Laila Adipe Assef Bistro remains a beloved insider tip.
