Beautiful Design: Tour This Stunning Hotel Devoted To Wine Lovers

Amarante, Portugal is home to the Quinta da Lixa winery, who also happens to have the Monverde Hotel right on its property, making it convenient for visitors to enjoy the fruits of the winery’s labor (I couldn’t resist). The recently opened hotel utilized the old, rundown buildings on site, as well as building some new ones, to complete the ambitious idea of providing 30 rooms. In this month’s Destination Design, we visually take you there to check out these relaxing accommodations.

The winery hired FCC Arquitectura and interior designer Paulo Lobo to bring their vision to life, helping to drive visitors to their rural location. While adding all the modern conveniences, they paid careful attention to maintaining the historical character of the older buildings, as well as respecting the surrounding environment.

Throughout the various buildings, you feel a harmonious aesthetic with their use of warm woods and the color green, all of which correspond to the setting. Large outdoor patios extend out from the interior blurring the lines of separation.

Along with the 30 rooms and catering services, the hotel provides winery tours, a spa, indoor and outdoor pools, wine tasting rooms, and events and conference facilities.
