happy friday friends! i wanted to share with you a place, spaces, that are on my
 radar for my next escape/winter getaway. the 
villa extramuros is it... quietly blending in with the natural landscape in one of the largest provinces of portugal. here are some simple reasons why i am 
sooooo very tempted to book my next vacation
 here: orange trees, fireplaces, olive fields, a french twist, 1950's furniture with a contemporary edge, swimming pools, meadows.
 ah, yeah....

here of the villa extramuros. one of my favorite aspects of the villa besides the incredible views, are the 
sweet sitting areas, placed here and there. they invite social interaction, they invite quiet contemplation, they invite you in, to sit, to stay a while, to breathe. i want to breathe! ;) 
don't you? enjoy...
