Live the boho lifestyle in this charming villa, based close to Comporto beach and providing you with a serene resting spot for when you’re not out exploring. We adore the bohemian decor and characterful artwork, such as the coloured glass collection, woven fabrics and wicker furniture, which gives the home a warm and welcoming feel. You can spend sunny mornings out on your shaded terrace, with a large lounge area that makes for a great place for your morning coffee. You can cook up delicious chorizo scrambled eggs in your quaint kitchen area and tuck in alfresco at the shaded dining table. In the evenings, plant yourself in a deckchair with a glass of fizz, and watch the sunset over the fields in the distance.

This villa resides in a peaceful and rural spot in Comporta, an idyllic village that sits peacefully between rice fields and the ocean. You’ll be based just a stroll away from a 60km-long stretch of stunning beaches, and so ideally located for sea swimming, sunbathing, and spotting dolphins swimming off of the coast. It's easy to spend a whole day exploring the vibrant bars and fantastic restaurants that line the seafront.

It's pretty clear what was at the top of the list for the architect that designed this intriguing home in Comporta – natural light and lots of it. Enormous walls of glass line the sides of the home and the dazzlingly white interior design only accentuates this plentiful natural asset. These huge windows also have the added benefit of looking out to peaceful views of local rice fields, too.

As you can probably begin to tell, it's a rather relaxing address. There are lots of spots in the tropical garden in which to appreciate the local tranquillity, whether on the back of a lounger or while dining alfresco on the table. Whenever the temperature takes a dip, you can head back inside and cosy up next to the contemporary fireplace in the lounge.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the locale, there are vast swathes of golden beaches covering the Portuguese coastline that start from as close as 1.5km away, while the nearest town is only 2km away for when you're in need of restaurants and shops.

Nice to haves

Characterised by stretches of calming white walls accented by carefully restored original wooden beams, this characterful home in the beautiful Portuguese coastal town of Carvalhal offers you everything you could need for a one-of-a-kind retreat into the unspoiled nature of the area. It also provides you with a stylish base from which to begin your perusal of Portugal. Offering high ceilings, a range of high-spec amenities, and a beguiling blend of traditional Portuguese features with modern touches, this home feels comfortable, cosy, and entirely at home in its environment just a few moments from the popular beaches of Carvalhal.

Awake feeling relaxed and refreshed in the restful bedrooms, before stepping straight out onto one of the many terraces for a breath of fresh sea air. Then it’s into the brightly mosaiced kitchen for a bit of breakfast. Or perhaps you'd rather take it to the outdoor seating area and enjoy it lounging next to the pool before a quick morning dip? The soft sand beaches of Carvahal are within easy reach too, so don’t miss out on the opportunity to soak up some of the almost guaranteed sunshine with a day spent beside the surf.

No matter how your days here might look, we think that this home provides the perfect place for rest, relaxation, and feeling a million miles from the usual stresses and strains of everyday life. After all, how could you look out over that fabulous expanse of unspoiled 'mato' and feel anything other than calm and at one with nature?

Some homes feel like a work of art, and this striking villa is one of them. Perfectly embodying the bohemian spirit of Comporta while incorporating angular, valued ceilings and contemporary touches, this home is a gem of a find. 

Firstly, we’re in awe of the spectacular garden. Nestled on your own private land, surrounded by verdant pine trees and nature, relaxing comes with ease. Out here, the hours whittle away while you’re relaxing on the sun loungers, taking a dip in the heated pool, catching up on your book on the bean bags, and taking in the scenery. When lunchtime rolls around, grill up a feast of local produce on the barbecue and gather around the pergola-covered bench-style dining table. 

Inside lends itself to any occasion, with the huge windows flooding the home with natural light and the scent of crisp pine hanging in the air. But in the evenings, the fireplace and warm-toned lighting make for wonderful cosy nights spent watching films. And with stylish yet comfortable bedrooms, all of which lead out to the garden, and super sleek bathrooms, the villa continues to impress.

When you want to get out and explore this beautiful slice of Portugal, you’re just 5km from the closest beach and its surfing spots, beachfront restaurants, and sugary white sand. The town is even closer, just 2km away, where you’ll find an array of restaurants and bars. But if you want to make the most of your villa but cooking is off the cards, your host can arrange for a private chef to take care of dinner for you.

Welcome Hamper

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to stay in a work of art? In this striking villa, designed by renowned architect Joao Pedro Falcao de Campos, you can. Dominated by strong lines and sharp angles, this bold home is a gorgeous contrast against its natural setting. Rice paddies, sand dunes, luscious forests, and the sparking Atlantic Ocean make up the landscape surrounding this contemporary home near the hippy-chic village of Carvalhal. Not only is this villa beautiful, in an unbeatable location, but it’s a relaxation paradise. Whether you’re soaking in the free-standing tub, practising sunrise yoga classes, getting a massage by a professional masseuse, or letting a private chef take care of dinner, this is your time to relax. 

Inside the villa, the simple, minimalist design lets the natural wood do the talking. We can’t get enough of the wall lined by wooden shelves, accentuating its angles and adding an artistic flair. And while some modern homes don’t always have that warmth that makes us relax and feel comfortable, the fireplace, warm-toned light fixtures, and plush sofa see to it that you will. The wood-lined wall guides you to the kitchen and with a huge island, top-notch appliances, and surfaces made of Estremoz stone – it’s a chef’s dream. 

The home is a special one, but we imagine you’ll be spending most of your time making the most of the incredible outdoors. The garden is partially decked and partially sand, surrounded by greenery, really making you feel like you’re on your own island. While away the days reading by the heated pool, occasionally taking a dip in the waters, and watching the little ones make sand castles in the garden. If the sand has you in the mood to go to the beach, you’re just a five-minute walk from Praia de Pego. Or, you can use the villa’s bikes to get there in no time, while freely exploring more of the beautiful area and popping into the nearby villages. After all that action, a crisp glass of wine straight from your wine fridge will taste even better. We struggle to find a better feeling than enjoying fresh barbecue alfresco, sipping on a nice glass of wine, and enjoying each other’s company, while the fiery sun sets.

Mothership

Wow your friends and family with a stay at this designer villa, quietly removed from the bustle of the West Coast's Comporta and yet just moments from the beach.

Inside, this place is a design lover's dream, with a chic dining room to host glamourous dinner parties and a high-style living room and adjoining library to beat the heat with afternoon reads and slumbers. While over in the bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms, curated art and splashes of azure blue add layers of interest and style.

But it's outside, hopping between the vast palm-fringed terraces and one-of-a-kind saltwater pool, where we think you'll be spending most of your time. Sneak away to the shady pergola for a cheeky siesta – the soft burbling of the contemporary water feature should help you drift off nicely. And when it's time to get your ensemble together, that covered veranda (with heaps of room for you and some guests) has sundowners written all over it.

When the sea finally lures you in, Comporta's shores, backed by wild grass-tufted sand dunes (just over one kilometre away), deliver all the cool, beach-shack vibes you're chasing. Or, for a complete change of pace, hop in the car for a day out in Lisbon – it's closer than you think.

Wild West Coast

Surrounded by dense Mediterranean vegetation, there's an enormous sense of privacy and tranquillity at this address in Comporta. It's certainly not hard to imagine long summer afternoons spent gliding gracefully through the swimming pool, catching rays on the lounger or dining under the shade of the verandah.

You will eventually have to head inside at some point, but you won't be disappointed when you do. The first thing that will strike you is just how bright the interior is, with natural light streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. We also like the emphasis on natural materials in many of the furnishings and decorative items, which feels in keeping with the coastal location.

When you want to pay a visit to the seaside, there are long stretches of golden beaches along the Portuguese coastline that start from as close as 2km away. A little closer to home, you'll find restaurants and bars in the local town of Lagoa Formosa. 

Summer Livin'

Tucked away in the exclusive residential enclave of Casas da Encosta, this villa is surrounded by natural beauty. While it’s big enough to sleep twelve, one of the bedrooms has three bunk beds so is best for children. Lazy days here can be spent lounging by the private pool, enjoying the panoramic views, or tucking into an alfresco meal at the shaded dining table. And when you’re ready for a change of scene, the nearest beach is just a two-minute drive away. You can also hire bikes and buggies from your host to explore the surrounding area at your own pace.

The Summer Breeze

Rooftop Terrace

We love the distinctly bohemian, even somewhat Balearic feel of this unique holiday home in the coastal region of Comporta in Portugal's scenic Alentejo. Boundaries become blurred as inside melds into outside and vice versa – open up the many doors and it becomes hard to tell where one ends and another begins.

The simple country-style kitchen is ideal for preparing a low-key breakfast which can then be taken out to one of the gorgeous terrace areas to be eaten with nothing but the sounds of the countryside around you. With outdoor living areas, a rooftop terrace and a plunge-style pool, this home was made for entertaining in the sunshine – grab a glass of local Vinho Verde and celebrate your hard-earned time off with your loved ones.

Fancy a change of scenery? Head to the beach 3km away, visit the quintessentially Portuguese town of Comporta for fantastic shopping and dining, or venture further afield for a day trip to lovely Lisbon.

Fenced Property

Located just outside of Comporta in the charming village of Carvalhal, this villa offers all the privacy you'll need. Lounge by the pool or dine alfresco on the terrace or gather for drinks and late-night snacks on the outdoor seating. With a sandy area by the pool for children to play and outdoor showers to feel extra refreshed after a swim, this home offers everything you need to make the most of the summertime during your stay. Minimal and chic open-plan space indoors makes it easy to spend quality time with friends and loved ones during the day, and a beach day is only a walk away from your doorstep.

You'll find bustling towns and tranquil coves from this home, whether you're looking for retail therapy and local cuisine or water sports and beach strolls. No shortage of wonderful shops and quaint cafes line the streets of Carvalhal, and you'll enjoy thumping nightlife and a friendly atmosphere as you live like a local. Learn a new skill or hone current ones at the nearby golf course and surf schools, and visit nearby vineyards to taste some of the fabulous regional wines. The city of Lisbon is easily reached by car just over an hour away, and the hardest decision you'll make is just how exactly to spend your days.

Starboard Skies

Comporta is well known for its beautiful homes and this private sanctuary is one of them. Offering idyllic views, a heated saltwater pool and a range of additional services, this is the perfect setting for an immersive retreat. It’s also spread across four independent suites, making this the ideal option for families and groups in search of fun and relaxation. From here, it’s possible to walk to the nearest beach (800 metres away), while the amenities in Carvalhal are also within easy reach.

A Midsummer's Tale

Only one kilometre from the fine sands at Praia do Carvalhal, this calming retreat places you a few minutes away from ideal surfing spots, oceanside restaurants, and designer retailers. By driving north, you'll soon stumble across the wine-producing village of Comporta, steeped in a rich history stretching right back to the Roman Empire. Whether it's horse riding, golfing, or birdwatching that you fancy, there are a wealth of activities for everyone to enjoy on your doorstep.

Promising natural views over the rice paddies, sunbathing poolside couldn't be more scenic. We think the wooden pergola is the perfect place to sneak off to after an alfresco breakfast, carrying a local newspaper and a cup of Portuguese galão. Perhaps you'll brush past the mature trees after meeting your private chef and plan an excursion in the dappled light. Alternatively, in chillier months, just imagine gathering around the cosy fireplace. Beneath exposed wood beams in the characterful living space, you'll be certain to reconnect with your loved ones.

Roaming Bohemian

This home caught our eye with its breathtaking views and artfully-designed rooms. Outside, you can soak in the natural beauty of the Portuguese countryside while swimming in the private pool and sipping Vinho Verde in the sun. The rooms are spread across two independent villas, making this a great option for groups looking to stretch out, socialise and spend quality time together. Housekeeping is included and your host is on hand to help organise sweet extras like bike rentals and private chefs. It’s also in a fantastic location, with Carvalhal Beach just a ten-minute stroll away.

A Glance of Beauty

Balcony

This villa boasts simplicity and comfort, ideal for those looking for an escape from the busy city. The closest restaurant is within walking distance and the beach is a short drive away, making this home suited to exploring Comporta as well as Lisbon, around an hour's drive away. We recommend having a car here, though you can also rent bikes to explore the nearby area. The garden and pool are great for catching some Portuguese rays, while the sun loungers, outdoor shower and alfresco dining space add to the holiday relaxation.

In the beautiful village of Comporta, among the sandy beaches and grass-topped dunes, the stripey green rice fields and yellow carpets of flowers, this home offers a secluded retreat on Portugal's west coast. The exterior is classic Comporta, with woven roofs and a laid-back cabana-style. 

What makes this home particularly special, perhaps, is that it comprises three separate, single-level villas, meaning every bedroom has its own terrace and easy access to the emerald green swimming pool that takes centre stage in the courtyard. This means there's plenty of privacy, whether you want to take a moment to meditate in the morning sunshine or sip a cup of coffee in a comfy chair. The villas are surrounded by lush green gardens, complete with a barbecue and patio area that was designed with alfresco feasts in mind – truly a treat to come home to after a day of exploring. 

Speaking of which, you won't be short on things to see and do here. Attracting artists, A-listers and surfers alike, we'd go as far as to say that there's nowhere else on earth quite like Comporta. Surrounded by spectacular scenery, from wild beaches to pine forests, this is a nature lover's paradise. Spend your time swimming, paddle boarding or simply walking – there's always something new to discover thanks to the area's magnificent landscape.

Nature's Canvas

Just along the coast from the buzzing city of Lisbon, this rustic villa is a peaceful retreat. The long stretch of sand at Comporta’s beach is a short stroll away and the centre of town a leisurely two-kilometre walk for bars, restaurants and shops. Surrounded by rice fields, this home feels secluded – perfect for lazy days by the poolside or bagging one of several shaded lounges for a quiet read. The slightly erratic decor won’t be to everyone’s taste, but the interior certainly embraces rustic charm in the living room, dining room and slightly petit kitchen. For those working remotely, each bedroom has a dedicated laptop desk. 

A Season in the Country

If you like quirky, you’ll love this bohemian-inspired holiday home, filled with colour and vibrancy – though the kitchen follows a more minimalist theme, with white cupboards and surfaces, so you won’t need your sunglasses on all of the time. This home is distributed over three houses, with the living room and kitchen in one building and then three bedrooms in a guest house and another bedroom in the pool house. They are all arranged around the large swimming pool surrounded by lush planting and there’s a selection of outdoor terraces to enjoy alfresco meals and drinks. Or if you fancy a day at the beach, this home is 2 kilometres from Pego Beach and 12 kilometres from Comporta.

Fall in love with this beautiful villa in the village of Carvalhal. Spend your days floating in the calm waters of the private pool, and catch that perfect tan on the sun loungers.

The interior blends seamlessly with the outdoors, making this home the perfect spot to reconnect with the outdoors.

One of the seven villages making up Herdade da Comporta, Carvalhal offers an array of fantastic restaurants for you to sink your teeth into, no matter what you're craving.

Beach restaurants, cosy town tavernas, and the stunning ocean are all yours to revel in. The villa's only about an hour and a half from Lisbon too, so if anyone feels like some big city lights this can easily be arranged. The Regal Villa is breath-taking in its modernity. The outside of the villa is striking in itself, made of wood, bricks and primarily glass to create awesome views of the gorgeous Comporta countryside...

Comporta Paradise

Savour your stay at this stunning property with its irresistible combination of an unmatched coastal location, minimalist design and a relaxing dune garden with an inviting pool. The home comprises three separate units – one with a luxurious living space, one containing the main bedroom and a final module containing two additional bedrooms. While it might not be ideal for families with young children, it works exceptionally well for families with older kids and groups of friends.

Interior spaces vibe perfectly with the creative, barefoot bohemian character of Comporta. Think bleached wood, wicker furniture and earth tones that help you feel integrated into your surroundings. Each building has been designed to remove the barriers between you and the natural world, with large doors that swing out to provide seamless access to the central pool surrounded by sun loungers and a rustic pergola for outdoor dining in the shade.

The dune garden boardwalk gives way to wild beaches, with two of Comporta's best-known stretches of sand just a short walk away. Here, you can spend days soaking up the sun beneath cloudless skies, frolicking in the surf and exploring the ever-shifting sand dunes.

As well as the golden coastline, you'll find an array of upscale beachfront clubs and eateries easily reachable on foot. You'll probably want a car for getting up to Comporta or Grândola, but your host can help you rent bikes or an off-road buggy for exploring the immediate surroundings.

This wonderful home is the kind you’ll fondly daydream about when you’re back at home, listening to drizzle patter against the windows. Everything you might want or need during your stay has been thought of in this luxurious and welcoming home, so you can focus on enjoying every last second of your break. 

The villa is bright and stylish, with decor and finishes that would be at home in an interior design magazine. It’s beautiful, with splashes of colour adding warmth and fun. You’ll wake up to feel the sunshine on your pillow, tempting you to head through the floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors outside to the terrace. Sip an espresso as you breathe in the warm, sweet-scented air. 

The outside space has been as thoughtfully considered as the house. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re a sun-worshipper or prefer to lounge in the shade. Table tennis will keep the big kids entertained, while you cool off in the refreshing solar-heated pool. There’s a gym inside, too, so you can easily get a workout in – though we might be more tempted by a yoga session on the terrace. 

When you want to explore further afield, you might stroll to Galé beach, or perhaps hop in the car to visit Troia. History buffs will enjoy seeing the Roman ruins at Cetobriga, while golfers might choose to stay closer to home – Troia Golf is a five-minute drive from the villa. This is truly a holiday home with something for everyone – you’ll never want to leave.  

Tranquil Sands Retreat

With three modules arranged around a private swimming pool, these huts offer a unique Portuguese experience. Fling open the doors to each one first thing in the morning and move between them as you go from the bedrooms to the living space or kitchen. Though it might take some getting used to, you’ll find that each one of these is brilliantly bright and offers the entire family the space they need in which to properly relax. 

Finished off by a natural, dune-like garden, there’s a big focus on the outdoors here, so we encourage you to enjoy every meal al fresco at the table. Lounge poolside, enjoying the sun as you catch up on a podcast or your holiday reading, and slipping into the crystalline waters when you need to refresh. 

Walk to the beach, enjoying sun-drenched days in the surf and sand or explore the surrounding villages where you can grab a coffee, visit markets, shop, and eat to your heart’s content. 

Having a Hut to Hut

Situated in Brejos da Carregueira de Baixo, this home is made up of three gorgeous villas. Unspoiled nature surrounds the property with paradisal views, and the pool can be heated for an extra cost. During your stay, you'll have privileged access to the private beach of Brejinhos, with beach towels provided to help you make the most of it. We think it's a great choice for families travelling with kids – your host can provide a high chair and cot for an additional fee, and you can rent bikes or a buggy for exploring the area.

The Flower District

This dreamy holiday home is ready to welcome you for an effortless stay in sunny Portugal. Located in Comporta on the beautiful west coast, this home sits just a stone's throw from some wonderful sandy beaches where you can swim in the sea and soak up the sun.

This home has a bohemian vibe that runs throughout, with muted colours, cosy soft furnishings and quirky decor to make it feel warm and welcoming. Concrete floors, raw materials and minimalist design also give the home a cool and contemporary feel, for some added style. We love the floor-to-ceiling windows, letting the outside in, so you can make the most of this heavenly location. Gather in the lounge to relax and chat with a bottle of Cava, or enjoy celebrations around the dining table as you share a toast to your getaway.

Head outside and you'll find the private outdoor pool, with poolside loungers where you can lay back and relax while listening to the idyllic summer sounds of splashing and laughter from your friends and family. There are other places to rest in the sunshine here too – we love the suspended net lounge area, where you can enjoy a wonderful afternoon nap.

When you return, rustle up a fresh seafood dinner on the barbecue, and eat together alfresco under the pergola with a bottle of Portuguese wine. Don’t feel like cooking? Hire a private chef for the evening and relax while tasting some of the local delicacies of northwest Portugal.

Post-dinner, retire to the fire pit to toast marshmallows and watch the sunset over the fields, or indulge in an evening swim in the private swimming pool.

For bohemian beachside vibes and pristine nature, look no further than this charming four-bedroom villa, nestled between the Sado Estuary and the crashing surf of the Atlantic Ocean.

Thoughtfully designed and beautifully furnished, the villa's interior maintains plenty of period charm alongside a casual contemporary style. The open layout of the main multipurpose living area makes the most of the spectacular summer climate with large, south-facing sliding doors that open out onto an inviting poolside deck. 

Out here, you'll find plenty of sun loungers and parasols for day-long sunbathing sessions, plus a picnic table for light lunches overlooking the pool. Around the corner, further seating and dining options are in the shade of a wooden pergola.

Back inside, four nautically themed bedrooms offer a tranquil haven to retreat to at the end of the day, with both double rooms boasting en-suite bathrooms, and all benefitting from direct access to the immaculately maintained outdoor areas.

The area might only be around an hour south of Lisbon, but Comporta has been quietly flying under the radar over the years. CN Traveller recently picked it out as Portugal's best-kept secret spot. So kick off your shoes, plant your toes in the sand and come and see what the fuss is about.

This home is really made for spending time outdoors, with so many places to relax as the sun warms your skin. Overlooking your crystal blue pool is a delightful undercover seating area, so if you aren’t dining alfresco, you can pop your feet up on the comfortable white chaise with a glass of wine in hand. Venture inside and it’s just as charming – picture neutral colours, natural materials and wonderful open-plan spaces ideal for entertaining. We love the bedrooms, in particular – each has its own colour theme providing a calming effect to complement the tasteful modern artwork. 

On your way to the beach, just 2km away, crawl into the local restaurant for a spot of lunch. Comporta's coastlines are picturesque, perfect for lounging in the sand and catching the rays. After a day of soaking up the Portuguese sunshine, be sure to gather your loved ones around the built-in barbecue back at home for an evening watching the sunset and indulging in divine local ingredients. A beautiful contemporary villa with a relaxing zen feeling will be the backdrop to a wonderful holiday to remember. 

Woven in Magic

With a rustic style reflective of its setting amid the rice paddies of Comporta, this family-friendly villa's highlights include several terraces, an outdoor dining area, and a plunge pool.

The villa accommodates up to eight guests in four comfortable bedrooms, including two with double beds and en-suite shower rooms, one with a double bed, and another with two single beds ideal for children. The villa is just a few minutes away from Comporta Beach and local restaurants and bars. Golf enthusiasts will be pleased to know that Troia Golf is just half an hour away from the villa. Guests can also enjoy mindfulness practices at Sublime Comporta, which is only five minutes away.

Floresta & Flora

Set back 800 metres from Carvalhal Beach, this villa centres around outdoor living with a private pool and shaded seating spots. Inside, we love how the American-style kitchen and open fireplace create a relaxed ambience for itinerary planning. With children's singles in bedrooms three and four, this home is better suited for family holidays than friend groups. Fancy a treat? Hire a buggy and ride by the rice paddies. While the nearest restaurant is 300 metres away, you can have a professional chef take care of dinner.

This is a truly magical place to stay. Step inside the Tree House Villa complex and you will be transported to a world of Portuguese charm and history. Whitewashed walls, navy window casings and a thatched roof are what you will glimpse upon first approaching the villa, with tonnes of outdoor seating space and gorgeous wooden decking surrounding the houses. Located in the stunning Carrasqueira area, right by the coast, this 5 bedroom property is not one to miss.

The Tree House Villa

Hot Tub

Sitting peacefully amid the rustic landscape of Comporta, this whitewashed home is just a ten-minute walk from Pego Beach and makes a great choice for a laid-back coastal escape. Featuring a private swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, kids’ play area and plenty of space for lounging, it’s perfectly designed for families and groups to make the most of outdoor living. Your host is also on hand to help organise a range of extra services. From private dinners to horseback riding on the beach, your stay can be as indulgent or as adventurous as you desire.  

The Butterfly's Song

This lovely villa nestles in the traditional village of Possanco, with views of the rice fields of the Sado river. Simplistic and modern with a private pool and balconies right from the bedrooms, you'll also have optional luxuries like a private chef or a buggy for exploring off-road. There may not be storage for extensive shopping trips here, but this home's main highlight is its location. You'll be a short drive from Comporta, where you'll find shopping, essentials and good food. Days at Comporta beach aren't much further away, and there's even a golf course a little further afield.

Refuge of Salt and Rice

Underfloor Heating

This coastal hideaway sits in perfect harmony with the natural beauty of its surroundings. Consisting of three independent homes, you’ll find each building has been thoughtfully curated to inspire optimum relaxation. From the calm aesthetics to the saltwater pool and serene location, this is the perfect opportunity to switch off and spend quality time together. Your host is also on hand to help organise housekeeping, children’s amenities and bike rentals, plus it’s just a short walk to the beach (800 metres away). 


Way of Beauty

Heated Towel Rail

Nestled away in the Alentejo countryside between the towns of Melides and Comporta, this home is worthy of a place on your bucket list. The interior design of both of the buildings captures minimalist cool so well that you'll be tempted to mimic it at your main residence when you return. Add to that the beautiful grounds with ample space to relax, dine and swim, plus one of Europe's longest stretches of beach only ten minutes away by car, and you can see why we're so excited to share this one.
