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.

Feng Shui inpires change in the house

NOW: dining room and living room since January 29, 2011
BEFORE: living room and dining room since 1998 until very recently
Thanks to one of our recent guests, a Feng Shui expert, the living room and the dining room exchanged places.

And it looks better and feels much more comfortable. We love the new arrangement and hope that also our guests.

As soon as I told my husband about the guest's advice, he immediately pictured it on his mind and said simply "of course". He had no doubt and understood the benefits. However, it had never occurred to us...

My husband always complained about not feeling comfortable sitting in the living room with his back to the main entrance of the house. It never felt right.

Now the living room is much more cosy, quiet and comfortable at the far end of the room (yin energy).

The dining room offers more space to the main entrance area and there is more light (yang energy). And it is closer to the kitchen and theres is more space to socialize.

  1. I liked it very much to stay on this place. The rooms are very well done, in good proportion and the colours are alive. You feel to have really space in this house. Outside on the terrace there is a wonderful view to the village and the ocean. It`s so great there to feel the elements of nature so strong. The spirit opens and als the body can relax deeply...The village is idyllic, the inhabitants friendly and natural...Thank you for this place Sofia

  2. Coming from a sensitive person as you are to the spirit of things and not only to the looks, it's double rewarding the investment and our dedication. We really appreciate your kind comment.
