Mary Lussiana is enchanted by an art and craft-filled hotel among the olive groves and hilltop towns of the Alentejo region.

Some two hours east of Lisbon, the landscape of open plains is dotted with olive groves and ancient, white-washed, hilltop towns graced with nesting storks. The recently opened Dá Licença has brought a completely new level of lodging to this raw and authentic corner of Portugal’s Alentejo region.
