Editorial Dear Reader

The 21st edition of ABSOLUTE ESCAPE completes one year since the beginning of this project, even the most optimistic would not think that in just 1 year we would reach more than 2,500,000 readers in 154 countries, and more than 10,000,000 views in the main worldwide digital magazine platforms.

We also launched the SAVORY MAG which will have its full launch year in 2023, we will launch a new magazine ABSOLUTE TRAVEL, and it will be the year in which the portal and the ABSOLUTE GUIDE magazine will assert itself in the market.

António Vidigal | CEO & Editor-in-Chief

For all this, I feel very proud and happy, ABSOLUTE ESCAPE is an innovative, independent project with unique characteristics, as is the case with ABSOLUTE ESCAPE EXCLUSIVE EDITION, the only editorial publication that highlights only one theme, one project, to a single hotel or accommodation.

For the reader, it is a unique opportunity to get to know in depth and “absorb” the energy of the place and have a unique “immersive” experience.

In this edition, ABSOLUTE ESCAPE EXCLUSIVE EDITION presents a new project, THE VAGAR COUNTRYHOUSE in Belmonte.

I love all the places I feature in ABSOLUTE ESCAPE, but this one is very special, TheVagar is born from a beautiful love story written by Marta and André.

I want to thank both of them for all the attention given, the project is passionate and will make your guests "fall in love" with it forever.

TheVagar Countryhouse, Belmonte is an accommodation with minimalist charm, where time seems to have stopped. Here is a cure for stress, anxiety and acceleration. People are part of the most beautiful scenery. Nature reigns. Authenticity is all there is.

Thank you for following us on this fantastic adventure.

The Vagar was born out of a beautiful love story.

EXCLUSIVE EDITION | THE VAGAR COUNTRYHOUSE BELMONTE

The former Casa da Chandeirinha, built by the Count of Caria in 1946, is now reborn from the ashes, by the hands of the architect duo, David Bilo and Filipe Pina, completely renovated in terms of infrastructure, in the exteriors and in the concept. It gives way to TheVagar, a space of tranquility, based on the base of love, courage, respect and unity.

Here new sensations are created, shared experiences, one shares well-being. Expectation is the memory of an original experience, a time well lived, conscious, with everyone, among everyone, for everyone.
