This sleek, white villa may be a vision of modernity, but the towering pines and cedars that surround it give you that calming sense of being in nature. You’re in the coast-adjacent town of Aroeira here, in an exclusive complex with golf courses on your doorstep. If the putting green isn’t your thing, perhaps a game of petanque on the home’s private lane or a rowdy game of table football indoors. There’s also a sublime swimming pool that shimmers emerald green in the sunlight. Inside, the living area is vast and open, with macrame bean bags and an L-shaped sofa for lounging against a wall of glass to the outside world. This is where you’ll find indoor dining for the whole group – in a sunny spot surrounded by windows. The sleek, grey kitchen is all modernism and opens up via glass sliding doors to the patio, should you want to transport your dinner to the dining table outside. The real bonus is the additional cinema room, in rich, theatre-curtain red for family film nights. Bedrooms all boast floor-to-ceiling glass doors, which open up to the first-floor balcony or secluded little terraces.
