We have very carefully handpicked 16 places to stay in Costa Vicentina (link in bio). We hope you like them as much as we do, and that we can help you creating new memories in 2021 ☀️

Costa Vicentina is the name given to the far western coast of the Algarve region, more specifically the coastal strip between Burgau in Southwest Algarve and Odeceixe on the Western Algarve coast. Costa Vicentina is part of a nature reserve park (‘Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina’), which makes it the longest stretch of protected Portuguese coast.

*New Journal Post* - We have just written a brand

Olá amigos, Sofia here, Jo and I wanted to share

Olá amigos, Sofia here, Jo and I wanted to share some thoughts with you before the end of this strange year. We hope you’re all doing okay.

This morning Jo shot this video out of her window (she’s staying at the beautiful @flatteredapartments in Porto) as the sun was coming out after a stormy night. Perhaps that sums up how we’re feeling as 2020 comes to a close.

One thing we haven’t shared with you yet is that in 2019 we were offered a book deal with a publishing company who create travel guides we personally love. We spent months working on the book - a guide book about Porto with all our favourite things and local secrets.

In February 2020 Jo and I went to the Algarve and spent a month just the two of us working morning to late night on the last details of the book. We are both such perfectionists and to put it bluntly, we worked our arses off on making sure we’d bring you the best guide about our hometown Porto. Little did we know that after our reclusive month away, we were about to spend a few more months having to stay away from other humans.

On the exact day that we delivered the final draft of the book the lockdown in Portugal was announced and unsurprisingly a few days later our lovely editor told us that unfortunately we’d have to postpone the launch of the book, which was planned for June 2020.

We are hoping the book will now be available sometime soon in 2021, and we are currently having to review some of the content. It breaks our heart that some of the small businesses we love and mention in the book have already had to close down, and we fear for others. We hope that the book will somehow help Porto get back on its feet.

2020 hasn’t been an easy year for many people who have lost so much and struggled with their mental health. We hope from the bottom of our hearts that 2021 will make up for everything. More than travel stuff, we can’t wait to be able to hug freely again. And dance. We really, really miss dancing. If 2020 has taught us something is that we shall never moan again how packed and hot a place is. Happy 2021! ✨

Xx
Joana & Sofia

Located near the Alentejo coast, surrounded by beautiful scenery, Herdade da Matinha captivates through its cosy and intimate atmosphere. This country house is bursting with colour, thanks to owner Alfredo’s vivid paintings and red, pink and orange doors, chairs, sofas and cushions.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Surrounded by nature, the Herdade offers several activities including picnics, yoga, surf classes, cooking lessons, and magnificent horse riding.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Those who want to walk the Rota Vicentina could not be better placed, as the 340km nature route runs by the doorstep of Herdade da Matinha.
