This modern villa nestled between The Silver Coast and Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Natural Park is a real gem. Here, you'll find a luscious garden, a sun-soaked terrace, a sparkling pool with slick sunloungers and an outdoor dining room with a barbecue for grilled alfresco feasts with your loved ones. This setting is primed for relaxation – wake up to the sun shining through the windows of your stylish bedroom after a restful night’s sleep, then pad out to the outdoor lounge with freshly brewed coffee and your new book. Work on your golden glow from the sunbeds, then plunge into the refreshing waters of the pool before shaking up a pitcher of sangria to share at the golden hour. We love the sleek and modern interior that feels like a welcome oasis when the sun reaches its midday peak. We especially love the minimalist designs and velvet textiles. On cooler evenings, though rare, there’s a fire to toast by, too – what’s better than returning home to a crackling fire after a long hike through the mountains? Just a short drive in the car and you’ll find a host of hiking trails where you can spend the day admiring... the landscape and Atlantic Sea views. When you fancy a day on the sand, make the drive to Praia do Salgado.

About Portugal
Once boasting history's largest empire, Portugal now happily tends to its own small but beautiful patch, inviting visitors to uncover its treasure trove of natural wonders. From its 800 km coastline along the Atlantic to its golden beaches, clifftop castles, verdant valleys, mist-covered woodlands and beautifully preserved medieval towns, there’s far more to Portugal than just its balmy weather and seafood. Along the southern coast, the Algarve beckons with intimate...
