Quinta de Lemos

24 March 2014

An oasis of silence reserved for wine lovers, in the hills a few kilometers from Coimbra. Designed by Carvalho AraújoQuinta de Lemos is a buen retiro with three rooms, a restaurant and a swimming pool at the disposal of guests of the winery of the same name. Embedded in the surrounding landscape, thanks to the natural difference in level, the construction is almost invisible from a distance: consisting of a single long and sunken story, at first sight the only trace of its presence is a sinuous concrete roof that follows the contours of the hill. A special place. And one to try, straightaway.

She has been writing about furniture for twenty years and is still not tired of it, in spite of everything. She has no free time, and is not even interested in it. For her it’s enough not to have to go to the same office everyday. She mixes with unlikely people, and contributes to Klat for this very reason.
