Porches hotels collection

In the Algarve, the mason would ask how many days of chimney one wanted, and the answer settled the fineness of the lime lattice that would crown the house. Porches keeps more than one, above white façades edged with a band of colour. The village works the clay that abounds around Lagoa: thrown, fired, then painted by hand. On the coast, the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Rocha holds an ochre promontory between two beaches, on the remains of a fort. Its porch rests on two columns, and one of the capitals, carved with foliage, is thought to be older than the chapel itself.
