Architecture Miguel Cardoso
Using a varied and inspired material palette that includes stone, mirror, and glass, as well as mosaics and bronze, Nini Andrade Silva has transformed a 19th-century manor house into a beacon of warmth and welcome. An austere presence is softened through the rich use of decorative elements that speak to the past yet infuses one with a sense of contemporaneity and calm.
Interior design Nini Andrade Silva
The immensity of grand spaces at Vila Foz is balanced by the designer’s liberal use of patterns, warm colors, flowing lines, and soft finishes. Taken together—enormity and nuance, opulence and comfort—these contrasts create an unexpected harmony and allow guests to feel as if they are living in both Old World Portugal and the modern day.
Food & Drink Chef secrets
Thanks to Azevedo’s masterful handling of authentic local and regional dishes—emboldened by the flavors from the Portuguese coast—the hotel has received a Michelin star. For an intimate experience, enjoy the chef’s table, a unique and exclusive experience for two that affords you access to the chef as he tells stories and discusses the dishes he will serve to you.
Well-being The journey inward
Body treatments are centered around custom-made oils and products that seek to create a balance with nature. When you are not surrendering to the expert offerings and treatments in the spa, you can enjoy the hotel’s gym, indoor pool with natural light, sauna, and Turkish bath.
