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?
