And what is Cucumbi? Before we get into the temptation to start describing it wildly, it must be said that Cucumbi is all soul and heart. Before it was what it was, it was already a family home, but it was necessary to break down some walls, open the main house spaces and convert the former dwellings of the farm staff into accommodation units. The desire was such that the work was completed in a year and in June, so a month ago, the seven rooms and suites, still smelling new, began to receive guests. The fireplaces of the old kitchens and the rough walls, some whitewashed and some with exposed brick, were kept, and the interiors were stuffed with rustic furniture, country flowers gathered outside the door, straw chairs, Portuguese woollen blankets and linen. Bed so white that there is no whiter white, and that complete a collection of handpicked pieces not to steal natural light inside doors.
