The ancient Portuguese town of Alcácer do Sal, just an hour south of Lisbon and thirty minutes from the white sands of Comporta, ticked all the boxes for design-savvy duo Antonio Falcáo Costa Lopes and Filipa Fortunato, who after opening and selling Casa Fortunato, an elegant nine-room retreat in the capital, wanted to reintroduce the project in an off-grid setting. In a similar fashion to the construction of their first outpost, Falcáo Costa Lopes, an architect by trade, restored the original property with evident respect for its history. As such, he revived its wooden floors and panelling, glazed Portuguese tiles and over-layered it with contemporary touches chosen by Fortunato.
