This is about the food at a hotel in Portugal. I can't seem to come up with a way of expressing this in English that sounds right to me.
Se conseguir resistir ao **chamamento da envolvência** que aqui se vive, divirta-se a saborear Portugal sem sair do Hotel.

luring environment
A frase em Português não faz sentido, porque se a pessoa consegue resistir ao chamamento mantém-se no hotel em vez de sair? Na negativa já faria algum sentido, mas também não era a mim que convencia ;)
...if you can resist the hotel's luring environment...
It's just a suggestion.

"Luring sorroudings" sounds catchy. It just strikes me as odd talking about 'envolvência' to mean surroundings belonging to the hotel's services, instead of 'facilities' for instance. It just makes the reader wonder 'what the hell?!'.

Wait... now it makes sense. If you can resist the surroundings outside the hotel. Probably the pictoresque village in the middle of nowhere, if in Portugal.

Comment: "I wish I could split the points, because I used "lured by the surroundings" -- since the key word was "lured" I picked Clara's. "

Obrigado, Clara. Quando comecei a responder, não havia nem sua resposta nem as notas. Após responder, vi a nota da Amy. Também foi minha primeira interpretação.

winsome surroundings
A cliche with plenty of use in travel-type articles, e.g.,
