Perched at an altitude of 4,100 feet among pine trees, this former pousada (traditional guesthouse) enchants outdoor enthusiasts all year round. The architects who led its modern makeover succeeded in preserving its original character, while enhancing its connections to the land by adding beautiful panoramic terraces. The hotel’s colorful decor bears the signature of Portuguese artist Maria Keil, blending 1940s design with contemporary artisanship, such as ceilings lined with burel wool. Cozy, inviting rooms and suites feature large picture windows framing views of the glacial Zêzere Valley. Beyond these visual delights, guests can unwind in the soothing spa or savor authentic cuisine at Restaurant Fatiga, where chefs draw inspiration from the traditional cuisine enjoyed by shepherds in the region.

Horseback riding, hiking and other outdoor adventures are part of everyday life at Cataloochee Ranch. Located on the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina, the ranch welcomes lovers of the wilderness for pure air and relaxation.

Indeed, traditional cattle breeding, just as the founders of the ranch practiced it in 1933, was reestablished on the 320 -hectare/800-acre estate.

Nearly a century later, Cataloochee Ranch has lost none of its splendor or authentic charm. Scattered around the main building, wooden and stone chalets typical of the region are filled with considered, warm décor featuring local craftsmanship. All have balconies or decks offering spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and gardens of unspoiled natural beauty. At Switchback, the ranch's restaurant, guests enjoy typical Appalachian cuisine with an alpine influence–dishes are made with seasonal ingredients, sourced locally, and mainly cooked on an open flame. A joyful disorientation of the taste buds as well.
