Just a 30-minute drive from Faro lies Tavira, where cobbled streets wriggle through its centuries-old core, brimming with white-washed houses and ornate churches. Travellers can feast on fresh seafood at open-air restaurants that spill onto plazas before taking a fishing boat to Ilha de Tavira, a sprawling island off the coast, to explore miles of sandy beaches. The latest hotel opening to tempt you there is Palácio de Tavira. Set within a majestic 19th-century palace, the hotel is designed to mirror the town’s rich cultural heritage. Its elegant façade and intricate interior details reflect Portuguese grandeur, while the addition of a new medina-inspired wing pays homage to Tavira’s Moorish influences, blending two cultures that have shaped the town’s identity.

Eight years ago, Purdy Rubin and Charlotte Figg were fed up with highly toxic cleaning products in plastic packaging and embarked on a mission to detox and simplify home cleaning. The result – Purdy & Figg, the UK’s fastest-growing natural cleaning brand of beautifully-scented and refillable cleaning products. Now, the two women have co-written a book, Clever Cleaning – The Natural Way to Clean Everything, in which they share their knowledge and show us how products made of natural ingredients and essential oils can more than hold their own against the chemical ‘big guns’, and that we only need four core products to clean the house from top to bottom. The book also includes a comprehensive ‘Stain Bible’, with instructions for getting rid of every possible stain, from turmeric and avocado to rust and sweat marks; tips on everything from zero-effort oven cleaning and getting rid of limescale to banishing moths; and a fun questionnaire to discover what kind of cleaner you are. In short, it’s all about elevating your cleaning from a chore to a pleasure and filling your house with gorgeous, spa-like scents, while creating a healthy, sustainable life.
