The Beachy Breeze

It's hard not to pinch yourself as you gaze down from The Scarlet Letter, at the charming vineyards and olive groves on the hill slopes of Douro Valley. There are several nooks to hang out by the pool and we especially love the quirky classroom setting in the gaming room that nudges towards the home's past as a school for kids. Secluded and pristine, a short drive takes you to the town of Pinhão, renowned for its vineyards and high quality Port, while a relaxing boat ride down the river gives you glimpses of the native wildlife. Still further away, the town of Provesende is a peek into the historical architecture and life of this picturesque region. When you're done with the day, recharge by the fireplace with a port and a plateful lovingly cooked by your own personal chef right at home.

The Scarlet Letter

Tucked away on a quiet street in Albufeira’s historic Old Town, this studio apartment is the perfect base for a couple or solo traveller looking for a convenient location in the Algarve. Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and situated only a few minutes walk from dos Pescadores beach, you couldn’t be better positioned if your priority is proximity to the sand. While the apartment is small, it does have a kitchenette and an alfresco dining terrace where you can enjoy home-cooked breakfasts in the sun.

Sun & Sand

Welcome to a modern sanctuary, nestled amongst tranquil nature in São Martinho, Madeira. Overlooking a panoramic cityscape intertwined beautifully with azure sea, this 4th floor retreat offers breath-taking views and an ambience of relaxation. Warm light bathes a plush bedroom, comfortable living area and an inviting balcony, perfect for outdoor dining. The kitchen fully stocked with all home comforts allows you the freedom to create your favourite meals. A refreshing swimming pool and manicured gardens add to this uniquely blissful experience. A short saunter introduces a world of quaint restaurants and bustling shops. Whispering delights in every corner, the Funchal Marina and Mercado dos Lavradores are just a stone's throw away. This peace haven combines all the modern amenities and convenience beyond expectation. Note: Expect moderate daytime noise due to construction work nearby. Access to free public roadside parking available, while keeping food well-packaged is a local wisdom here.

Madeira Majestic View

This magnificent mansion is perched atop the cliff at Praia da Marinha, offering breathtaking views of the ocean and beach. You can walk to the beach straight from the garden when you fancy a dip in the sea – as a change from swimming in the private pool. The pool sits in lush gardens close to several terraces – there’s no shortage of outside space here so you won’t feel crowded even when you’re travelling with a large group. Inside, the villa is authentically Portuguese, blending vintage style with modern comfort. Everything you might need is to hand here, whether it’s a barbecue or a cosy wood-burning stove. 

Eternal Sea Views

This stunning, brand-new holiday home boasts contemporary design and minimalist decor. The house has an open-plan living and dining area that leads to a private swimming pool and undulating garden. The fully equipped kitchen, laundry room, video-projection system, and brick barbecue make for a convenient stay. This home features five suites with double or single beds, each with its own bathroom featuring walk-in showers or bathtubs. The lower level includes a double shower bathroom and laundry room. The outdoor area provides a heated swimming pool, non-heated Jacuzzi, outdoor dining area, barbecue, sunbeds, table tennis, and private parking. The property is located near a popular golf resort and just a few kilometres away from golden sandy beaches. Shops, restaurants, supermarkets, ATMs, pharmacies, bus stops and train stations are all within close proximity. This is the perfect spot for enjoying Portugal's Lisbon coast while relaxing in luxurious comfort.

The Artistic Evolution

If you long for a quiet retreat in a quaint cottage by the sea, your search is over – this home will tick every one of your holiday boxes and more. Nestled in São Jorge on the northern coast of Madeira, this is seclusion at its finest. Mere metres away from the beach, your home looks out over the Atlantic with a mountainous backdrop. 

Step inside, and the open-plan space ushers natural light in from every angle. Small in size but still packing a significant punch, you’ll find everything you need for a memorable stay. We love the terrace area  – how could you ever tire of that view? Many happy hours will be spent here, tucked up on the sofa, the barbecue sizzling away in the background and the smell of the food mixing with the unmistakable scent of the ocean that wraps itself around you. As you listen to the sound of the waves lapping against the shore, pour yourself a glass of wine and simply enjoy the moment with your loved ones. They say time flies when you’re having fun – before you know it, the sun will have dropped below the ocean and a blanket of stars will have opened out above you. Weary from the fresh sea air and the pure bliss of a day doing nothing, you can head to bed with wonderful memories and the promise of more to come. 

Sun, Sea & Solitude
