Contrast offers intense and sharp experiences. In Sofia’s Place you breath the local community spirit and culture in a sophisticated and cosmopolitan accommodation, in the heart of one of the most exclusive, dreamy and romantic places around. As Jardim do Mar itself, Sofia's Place offers the local and the universal, the unique and the diverse, the rural environment and the urbane comfort. Sofia was born in the pitoresque village. And as roots are kept intact, Jardim do Mar became more cosmopolitan as it attracted artists (writers, poets, painters), surfers and nature and tranquility lovers from all over.

If you get the chance to come in

Sofia's Place descritpion: accommodation and amenities
If you get the chance to come in, you will know why Sofia and her husband Nelio were happy with the very first design of the house.

A two floor glass window in the front merges the outside and the inside. There is a lot of natural light and open spaces in, which make the place very comfortable and cheerful. Positive vibrations and quietness. It combines some local architectural elements and the modern comfort.

Like Jardim do Mar itself combines the rural and the urbane (cosmopolitan), the green and the blue, quietness and intensity (no chance to feel bored).
The bright colours inside stress the house very exotic and happy atmosphere, and the dark yellow colour outside fits in perfectly in the very pitoresque village.

The paintings by local artists they own were left hanging on the walls as they are connected with the house.
As you may wonder why there are now four bedrooms in Sofia' Place we can say that the Contemplative Bedroom used to be Nelio’s music room. If you listen carefully you may still hear some sounds bouncing on the walls…

As citizens of the world and worldly-wise people, Sofia and Nelio have been open to establish relationships with other cultures. That was something offered in Jardim do Mar, a place that attracts artists, surfers and nature lovers from all over the world.

Besides the cosmopolitan atmosphere and socializing in Jardim do Mar, Sofia and Nelio like to travel and do Yoga. The connection to the Oriental and Indian culture is reflected in two of the bedrooms.

The Surf Bedroom took its name because some of their dearest friends and surfers, like Kris and Will, were hosted in the room in the past and Surf is a sport that made Jardim do Mar famous worldwide. The village is known and the European Hawai among surfers. Jardim do Mar became much more cosmopolitan after the surf explosion in the 90s.
