Muxima, a small farmstead hotel, may be located in a remote southwestern point of Portugal, but its name and decor takes inspiration from somewhere even farther: Africa. The owners had spent time there before relocating to Portugal, and sought to bring some aspects of Africa back with them. To wit, the hotel's name, "muxima," means "heart" in Angolan dialect.
