Unfold in the Algarve, Portugal, Autumn 2026 retreat
October 2026: Thursday 22nd - Monday 26th
Join us for four nights away on the sunlit rooftops of Olhão, a picturesque fishing town less than 20 minutes from Faro International Airport. Casa Amor, a Michelin Guide listed boutique hotel, has been reserved exclusively for our guests. This beautifully restored 19th-century house blends traditional Portuguese architecture with chic modern elegance, centred around a tranquil courtyard that invites rest and ease. Each room is airy, bright, and comfortable, featuring a mix of antique furnishings and eclectic artworks. With comfortable single and double-occupancy rooms, this is the perfect escape - come on your own, as a couple, with a friend or a family member. The entire space is designed for you to truly disconnect from your routine and bask in the loveliness of the changing seasons
