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.
