Get lost in the silence of this restful countryside retreat.

By Louise Jackson, VeryChic correspondent
The writer and conservationist Ted Trueblood once remarked that “the silence of nature is very real. It surrounds you, you can feel it.” This holiday, you are invited to experience that comforting cocoon of silence from the Colmeal Countryside Hotel ****. Hiding in the mountain ridge of Serra da Marofa, and surrounded by nature, this is a silence that is teeming with vibrant life all around. The wonders of this land are waiting to be heard, all you need to do is to become still enough to feel it.
