Quinta da Comporta, in Portugal, is a project by architect Miguel Câncio Martins where nature is the essence of design. In one of Europe’s most sought-after destinations and one of the favourite destinations of designers, artists and entrepreneurs  this amazing hotel, surrounded by unspoilt beaches, sand dunes, pines and rice fields, stands and offers visitors its various resorts, bedrooms, suites and small houses, as well as a spa. The architect invited artists such as Patrick Michel to design the apartments, Bela Silva, who created several sculptures, and George Pelletier, who was in charge of developing the handcrafted plaster luminaires. Louis Albert de Broglie, also known as the « Prince Jardinier », also participated in the project and played a decisive role in the rebirth of nature through his dedication to organic and ecological agriculture.
