Anyone in search of a more simple and peaceful way of life will fall in love with this home. Immersed in the natural beauty of the Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina Natural Park with enriching views across the countryside, this is the perfect setting for a rejuvenating retreat – one that will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired from the moment of arrival. And while the landscape sings with natural charm, the space itself provides a contemporary eco-friendly sanctuary. From the minimalist whitewashed design and elegant styling to the big open windows and soft lighting, the owners have created a home that brings ease and joy to daily living. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need to feel the comfort of home, while the bedrooms (each with its own bathroom) provide the ultimate sense of relaxation. Outside, spend idyllic days by the pool, taking long walks through the countryside, meeting the resident farm animals and gathering for sunset drinks and pizza nights – the outdoor kitchen features a traditional pizza and bread oven. For exploration beyond this rural haven, you’ll find the west coast beaches such as Arrifana and Amoreira are less than a thirty-minute drive away, while the... nearby town Aljezur (13km away) offers a wonderful opportunity to connect with the authentic heart of Portuguese living – as well as the vibrant surfing scene.
