| Jardim do Mar by Hugo Reis |
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.

Ana Moura's Desfado
photo copyright
With her fifth album, Desfado, Ana Moura enters a new phase in her careeer. The singer has focussed this time round on a new generation of composers and reknowned names in Portuguese music to accompany her.
Nelio and Sofia had the chance listening to it on a relative's top high end stereo and the album Desfado deserves a big applause. It is well accomplished work, explores new musical paths and it is already a masterpiece in the long and rich history of Fado. Great songs and playing, meaningful lyrics and an incredible quality organic and warm sound.
The album was recorded in Los Angeles in the famous Henson Recording Studios ("one of the music industry's top recording facilities known for its world-class blend of state of the art and vintage equipment") and produced by Larry Klein, responsible for records of artists like Joni Mitchell or Herbie Hancock, who plays in Desfado. The Portuguese guitar is played by Ângelo Freire.
