There’s no price for guessing what the city of Porto is famous for. However, you may be surprised to find that this fortified wine begins its life far from the city, in the vineyards found upstream and on either side of the river Douro, and it’s here where you’ll find this eye-catching villa. Overlooking the slopes of Portugal’s wine region, this home boasts panoramic views that are almost impossible to tear your eyes away from. At sunset, make a beeline for the infinity pool that stretches out across the width of the house. There’s a second heated swimming pool to the side, best reached through the open-plan living and dining room. Take a dip beneath a starlit sky or sunbathe during the day. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and windows can be found from the kitchen to the three bedrooms, effortlessly bridging the indoors and outside. The best views can be found from the balcony on the first floor. Since this area has been granted UNESCO World Heritage status, you’ll find that there’s plenty of exploring and hiking to do. But there’s also fun to be had at home on a rainy afternoon – challenge the group to a championship of billiards and table football and may the best team win.

It's pretty clear what was at the top of the list for the architect that designed this intriguing home in Comporta – natural light and lots of it. Enormous walls of glass line the sides of the home and the dazzlingly white interior design only accentuates this plentiful natural asset. These huge windows also have the added benefit of looking out to peaceful views of local rice fields, too.

As you can probably begin to tell, it's a rather relaxing address. There are lots of spots in the tropical garden in which to appreciate the local tranquillity, whether on the back of a lounger or while dining alfresco on the table. Whenever the temperature takes a dip, you can head back inside and cosy up next to the contemporary fireplace in the lounge.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the locale, there are vast swathes of golden beaches covering the Portuguese coastline that start from as close as 1.5km away, while the nearest town is only 2km away for when you're in need of restaurants and shops.

For bohemian beachside vibes and pristine nature, look no further than this charming four-bedroom villa, nestled between the Sado Estuary and the crashing surf of the Atlantic Ocean.

Thoughtfully designed and beautifully furnished, the villa's interior maintains plenty of period charm alongside a casual contemporary style. The open layout of the main multipurpose living area makes the most of the spectacular summer climate with large, south-facing sliding doors that open out onto an inviting poolside deck. 

Out here, you'll find plenty of sun loungers and parasols for day-long sunbathing sessions, plus a picnic table for light lunches overlooking the pool. Around the corner, further seating and dining options are in the shade of a wooden pergola.

Back inside, four nautically themed bedrooms offer a tranquil haven to retreat to at the end of the day, with both double rooms boasting en-suite bathrooms, and all benefitting from direct access to the immaculately maintained outdoor areas.

The area might only be around an hour south of Lisbon, but Comporta has been quietly flying under the radar over the years. CN Traveller recently picked it out as Portugal's best-kept secret spot. So kick off your shoes, plant your toes in the sand and come and see what the fuss is about.

Secluded yet conveniently located, this stylish single-story villa in Moledo is the perfect pick for a family or small group of friends looking for privacy and comfort, without being too far from sandy beaches and charming towns. Mornings begin with laps in the private pool, before drying off on a sun lounger as you gaze out to the unspoilt landscape surrounding the home. 

Stepping inside, you'll immediately notice the modern touch that's been given to the villa – from the pop art adorning the walls to the patterned rugs and string lighting. Mastering indoor-outdoor living, the interiors benefit from a vast casement window and sliding glass doors that invite sunlight into the living area and keep the picturesque views at the forefront of the home.

Enjoy cooking for your group in the sleek marble kitchen, or alternatively, you can grill up alfresco meals on the barbecue outside. Sink into the squishy bean bag with your holiday read, soaking up the warm weather. Both bedrooms benefit from large glass doors opening onto the front decking, so you start each day with a spring in your step, ready to explore. 

When it's time to head out, you're fifteen minutes on foot from Caminha's sandy beaches and its old roman town, with excellent restaurants, cafes, bars, lively promenades and open-air esplanades around the Minho river's waterfront. If you're looking for more, catch the daily ferry boat out to the ruins of the fort of Ínsua in a matter of minutes, or drive to the beaches and historic town of Viana do Castelo, just 35 kilometres away.

Situated in a quiet neighbourhood, this charming home offers a little slice of tranquillity on the outskirts of vibrant Porto. Bathed in natural light, courtesy of the generous windows and use of partition glass to separate the spaces, this sleek home holds a real charm. A small balcony and the cosy terrace areas give you the opportunity to indulge in the Portuguese sun from the comfort of your own home, while the modern kitchen is ready and waiting to put your culinary skills to the test when you fancy a quiet evening in. Pair your meal with a local port, and enjoy the flow of conversation with loved ones over dinner. Afterwards, the sofa welcomes you to sink into it and relax into a movie night – but with plenty of quiet nooks around this home, if you’re not in the mood for a film you can easily find somewhere to settle down to get lost in your holiday read.
 
A mere twenty-minute drive and you’ll find yourself in the heart of Porto where you can visit the Cathedral, marvel at the stately bridges or simply stroll the cobbled streets, stopping off at merchants’ houses and the odd cafe for a little sustenance. However you spend your time in this beautiful city, you’ll make treasured memories that will last long after you’ve returned home.

Calling all nature lovers. Spread across two floors, this traditional house on Pico Island – home to Portugal's highest mountain – boasts unobstructed views of the sea and the surrounding landscape. It's not a luxurious stay but it is comfortable and there's a fully equipped open-plan kitchen, as well as a spacious garden featuring BBQ facilities for alfresco dining. It's best suited to guests who don't mind heading to the beach when they want to swim – there's no pool to cool off in here. While there are lots of outdoor walks nearby, we recommend hiring a car for your stay so you can explore the dramatic scenery of the Portuguese Azores with ease.

Surrounded by pinewood forests and a stone's throw from Lagoa de Albufeira’s unique lagoon coast, this modern villa offers rejuvenation and adventure for every member of your group or family. Surrounded by a variety of local shrubs and gardens of native wildflowers, this serene spot has everything you need for a blissful coastal retreat.

The outside space is beautiful. A quenching blue pool is the main focal point, with cosy loungers ready for days soaking in the sun. The upper terrace is the perfect place for balmy afternoons spent with pre-dinner cocktails. 

When you need a repose from the sun, retreat to the inside where you’ll find a light-filled contemporary space. The minimal design aesthetic features crisp white walls, full-height ceilings and a multitude of glass accents that beckons the light in and creates laid-back energy that synchronises with the Portuguese coastal spirit. This home offers an abundance of privacy as well as space for entertainment altogether - the upper living room is the perfect siesta nook whilst the downstairs lounge is designed for games around the coffee table - every guest is considered here.
 
If you want to get out and explore, beeline for Alfarim and Meco beaches with the home’s stand-up paddle board and kayak in tow (just seven minutes in the car), or discover the natural seawater lagoons of Lagoa de Albufeira (a ten-minute drive) or spend the day in the seaside town of Sesimbra to admire the pristine white sands be spoilt with a choice of seafood restaurants (a twenty-five-minute car ride).

If we were to tell you of a hideaway that sits in the middle of twelve hectares of lush pine forest in rural Comporta, you might imagine a certain type of home and we're willing to wager that it doesn't look anything like this wonderfully modern residence.

Not only does the boxy white exterior look visually striking from the outside, but this sense of awe will continue as you step through the glass doors. Our favourite space is the double-height living, which is flooded with natural light from the copious number of windows that line the walls. However, the modern brown kitchen and equally glossy bathrooms are sure to take your breath away, as well. The design throughout feels cohesive, united by a preference for clean lines, sleek surfaces and chic minimalism.

Given the agreeable climate that this corner of the Iberian peninsula enjoys, you'll likely want to spend as many hours outdoors as possible and that's easy to do here. The long infinity swimming pool is both wonderfully refreshing when the midday sun is at its highest and made all the more relaxing by the heady scent of fragrant herbs and vegetation that grow around the sides. There are plenty of terraces and balconies on which to take a seat and do nothing more strenuous than soak up the rays, but you can also find a tennis court if you fancy a match or two.

Although there's a strong sense of tranquillity from the isolated position, you don't have to venture far to find the Portuguese coastline. Carvalhal and Pego beaches can be reached in ten minutes or so in the car, and there are a few restaurants and bars to be found close to these seaside spots.

Self Check-in / Check-out

Tucked away in Silves in the Algarve region, a short drive from Marinha Beach and within walking distance of the historic castle and town centre, this apartment is a modern pad for couples or small families. You'll have private use of a jacuzzi and a terrace, complete with a barbecue, so you can enjoy alfresco meals together. While some areas of the home are a little compact, you’ll find everything you need to feel right at home. If you’re planning to travel as a group of four, keep in mind two people will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.

Admire the aquamarine sea and blue hues in this amazing villa. The roof terrace is where you'll be spending most of your time, with a gas barbeque, bar, and a pool, what else could you want? Spend your evenings relaxing on the terrace, drinking wine and tucking into the traditional Portuguese cuisine.  Put your bartender hat on and practice making cocktails at the rooftop bar, and sip the night away listening to your favourite songs. 

The living room boasts a balcony that has a gorgeous view of the ocean, giving you ample opportunity to see the plethora of boats that sail past daily. You'll find two beaches nearby, so you can spend your days in the sun with the sand between your toes. There's also a variety of eateries in the area, so take your pick and dine out in style.

Sharing its sea views and its fabulous infinity pool with just one neighbouring home, this modern villa is in a quiet, rural part of the island. The interiors are minimalist and strikingly contemporary, with all-white walls, pale wood floors and bespoke matching furniture. Simple and stylish throughout, floor-to-ceiling windows make the most of the panoramic vistas and the bathroom features a natural stone wall and sliding glass doors to a private courtyard. But it's the outside space that dominates this place. A sun terrace with access to the pool is the perfect spot for evening drinks, while a private balcony off one of the bedrooms is a peaceful place for morning coffee. The infinity pool seems to spill over the edge of one of the island's typically steep slopes and the sea views from here are simply breathtaking. And for a real treat, spend some time each evening in your private hot tub, a quirky circular outdoor bath sunken into the sloping lawn. Best of all, you'll have access to the owner's lush subtropical gardens, filled with fresh fruit, palm trees and herbs. Beneath you, banana farmers go about their business, tending their crops, and it's a pleasant stroll down to the sea, while keen walkers will be able to hike off uphill to take in even more impressive views. 

Heart & Sol

We're utterly in love with this reimagined farmhouse-style property located just outside of the idyllic old fishing village of Esposende. From its sunny yellow facade complete with quaint panelled windows and traditional terracotta roof tiles to its elegant interior that retains many of its original, rustic features – not to mention the beautiful modern step-down swimming pool – we think it offers something truly unique and special for your holiday in this often-overlooked part of Portugal.

The indoor spaces of this home feel impressive and grand, and yet manage to exude a kind of homely warmth that's welcoming and comfortable. The bedrooms, in particular, are a favourite of ours. Awake as the gentle morning light begins to seep in through those large French windows with stained glass detailing and feel immediately enveloped in the majesty of these rooms, as the high ceilings and gorgeous furnishings create a sense of luxury. Coffee out on the terrace anyone? 

The living and dining rooms, too, have an undeniable opulence, giving off an irresistible old-world glamour. Make the most of the sense of occassion by coming together for a special meal, or simply enjoying one another's company in the effortless serenity of these spaces.

When you do fancy getting out of the villa, then you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to things to do in the local area. Explore the local town of Esposende where you will find fantastic fish restaurants serving up the freshest seafood. Or, make the short 30-minute drive to the historic city of Oporto – the centre of which is classified as a World Heritage Site. The sand beaches of this part of the Portuguese coastline are under four kilometres away too, so grab the suncream and a beach towel and get out there for a day of sun, sea, and unbridled relaxation (as well as some high-octane watersports if you like). In the mood for more activity? Then there is both golf and horse riding on offer in the local area.

A Farmhouse with Finesse

This stylishly designed apartment is waiting to welcome you on your peaceful trip to the Algarve. The biggest draw of the home is, of course, the large rooftop terrace offering views over this scenic landscape, but we also adore the little balcony, overlooking the Ria Formosa lagoon nearby, perfect for morning coffees in the sunshine. You’ll be in a central spot, close to the ferry boat to Beach Island so you can spend time relaxing on Praia de Cabana, while the charming fishing village of Cabanas, with its delicious seafood restaurants, can be reached in just two minutes by foot.

Inside, it's a wonderfully bright and open living space, where you can sink into the modern modular sofa or gather around the sleek dining table at the end of a long day spent sunbathing or exploring. The bedrooms are just as light and comfortable, while the kitchen will make preparing supper a breeze.

This modern apartment puts you within striking distance of several Algarve beaches, with Praia da Batata, Porto de Mós and Praia Dona Ana all within two kilometres. For those not keen on sinking their feet into the sand or splashing in the sea, there’s also a plethora of golf courses in the surrounding area and eateries within walking distance, so you’re never far from authentic Portuguese cuisine. Back home, you can enjoy on-site amenities such as a gym, sauna and communal swimming pools to keep you entertained, while the private balcony is just the spot for sundowners as the day ends. 

A Taste of the Algarve

Cosy and romantic, this classical cottage is located just a short drive from Funchal, the vibrant capital of Madeira. As such, it's the perfect base to explore sightseeing in the city, swimming and sunbathing at the seaside, and places of natural beauty in the countryside.

As soon as you set eyes on this tiny home, you'll see just how special it is. It's covered in leafy plants and lush flowers, and sits in an elevated spot, so you can enjoy dreamy sea views beyond the flowers. Outside, there's a covered terrace where you can relax with a good book or sip sundowners in the evenings. Inside, you'll find lots of character – from wooden beam ceilings to exposed stonework. It may be small and the kitchen is best suited for light bites, but you can't deny it has oodles of charm.

Beyond the Bougainvillea

Fenced Property

Located in a quiet spot, surrounded by trees, you’ll feel like you’ve got away from it all here. With a private pool, alfresco dining terrace, and outdoor seating area, this home is perfectly set up for enjoying a laidback, Mediterranean lifestyle. And if you’re craving a pastel de nata or want to stock up on Portuguese wine, you’ll find restaurants and a supermarket just a short stroll away.  Little ones will love the sandy beach, a one-kilometre walk from the villa, and for golf enthusiasts, the nearest course is a seven-kilometre drive.

Beachcomber Blues

Heated Pool

In the picturesque heart of Comporta, this home welcomes you to slow down and enjoy the magic  of outdoor living. From the heated pool and the stunning views to the thoughtfully designed rooms, every detail has been considered to inspire ease and relaxation. You can sit back and soak it all in from the terrace or the cosy living room. There’s a fire for cooler evenings and all the essentials you could need to settle in and make it your own. And when it comes to explorations further afield, it’s just 4-kilometres to the nearest beach, while the nearest amenities are also just a short drive away. 


Heaven is a Place

Up above the town of Ponta do Sol on Madeira’s south coast, this sugar-cube style apartment embraces traditional architecture on the outside and minimalist modernity inside. The view of Ponta do Sol – a series of orange-roofed buildings tumbling down the hillside to the deep blue sea – is framed by tropical plants, and settling into the beanbag-like chairs on the private terrace is the perfect spot to take it all in. A sparkling rectangle of infinity pool is shared with one other apartment, along with the hillside hot tub. Inside, the walls are kept pristine white without a hint of clutter, and the light-wood kitchen is brightened by sunlight streaming in through a wall of glass. It’s a six-minute walk into the centre of Ponta do Sol where there’s a handful of cafés, bars and restaurants and a local grocery shop. The larger town of Ribeira Brava is a 10-minute drive away. 

Set On The Sea

Cool and contemporary, this apartment is based just 100 metres from the beach in Praia da Rocha, and just a short drive from the heart of Portimão, making it ideal for beach lovers and city explorers alike. We love the decor of this home, with swinging chairs and a funky mural that make it feel warm and welcoming. A stay here means you'll have access to the shared outdoor pool and tennis court, ideal for spending days in the sunshine.


Sunset Terracotta

On the wild shores of Portugal’s Atlantic coast, the region of Comporta boasts golden sand dunes, abundant pine forests and miles of spectacular scenery. It’s also renowned for its signature small thatched cabanas – crafted with locally sourced wood and grasses from the riverbanks. And this home (just a short walk from the beach) perfectly embodies this rich tradition of craftsmanship and heritage. 

Consisting of multiple buildings nestled amongst the trees, the owners have designed this space to honour the unique spirit of its surroundings, whilst adding a range of luxurious features. From the art and objects to the natural tones and textures, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of calm. 

Enjoy relaxing by the fire in the large open-plan living and dining room, savour delicious meals prepared by your private chef and experience total serenity in the elegant bedrooms (each with its own bathroom). Follow the views outside and you’ll find the garden welcoming you to wander through the trees and savour a refreshing dip in the pool. And with multiple seating areas, this is the perfect setting for magical sunset drinks and barbecue meals that linger long into the evening. 

However you choose to spend your time here, every moment promises to be enriched by the natural beauty of this location. 

Golden Earth

Live the boho lifestyle in this charming villa, based close to Comporto beach and providing you with a serene resting spot for when you’re not out exploring. We adore the bohemian decor and characterful artwork, such as the coloured glass collection, woven fabrics and wicker furniture, which gives the home a warm and welcoming feel. You can spend sunny mornings out on your shaded terrace, with a large lounge area that makes for a great place for your morning coffee. You can cook up delicious chorizo scrambled eggs in your quaint kitchen area and tuck in alfresco at the shaded dining table. In the evenings, plant yourself in a deckchair with a glass of fizz, and watch the sunset over the fields in the distance.

This villa resides in a peaceful and rural spot in Comporta, an idyllic village that sits peacefully between rice fields and the ocean. You’ll be based just a stroll away from a 60km-long stretch of stunning beaches, and so ideally located for sea swimming, sunbathing, and spotting dolphins swimming off of the coast. It's easy to spend a whole day exploring the vibrant bars and fantastic restaurants that line the seafront.

Everything you might want or need during your stay has been thought of in this luxurious and welcoming home, so you can focus on enjoying every last second of your break. 

The villa is bright and stylish, with decor and finishes that would be at home in an interior design magazine. It’s beautiful, with splashes of colour adding warmth and fun. You’ll wake up to feel the sunshine on your pillow, tempting you to head through the floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors outside to the terrace. Sip an espresso as you breathe in the warm, sweet-scented air. 

The outside space has been as thoughtfully considered as the house. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re a sun-worshipper or prefer to lounge in the shade. Table tennis will keep the big kids entertained, while you cool off in the refreshing solar-heated pool. There’s a gym inside, too, so you can easily get a workout in – though we might be more tempted by a yoga session on the terrace. 

When you want to explore further afield, you might stroll to Galé beach, or perhaps hop in the car to visit Troia. History buffs will enjoy seeing the Roman ruins at Cetobriga, while golfers might choose to stay closer to home – Troia Golf is a five-minute drive from the villa. This is truly a holiday home with something for everyone – you’ll never want to leave.

Enter to be greeted by a large open-plan living room and kitchen area, with plenty of room to kick back and relax after a long beach day. We love the wooden floors, stylish light fixtures and light-filled interior, which puts you immediately in the holiday mood. You’ll be able to gaze out onto the sea from the comfort of your living room, and you can also enjoy drinks out on the balcony, with a gentle sea breeze on your face. 

The bright and well-equipped kitchen invites you to rustle up quick and delicious meals which you can share with your loved ones at the dining table with enough space for four. For a night of restful sleep head to the bedroom, with its striking green wall and nautical theme. Wake up restored and welcome the new day with a cup of freshly brewed coffee out on the balcony. 

Outside your modern residence, you’ll be in close proximity to many cafes and restaurants, and you can also drive to an array of exciting activities, including a surf school, a golf course and riding stables, all located within a fifteen-minute drive from your home.

The interior is bright and welcoming, with crisp white walls, cool tiles, and a comfy sofa. There's even a fireplace for if you're visiting during the chillier months – light it up and get cosy with a good book and a glass of port. The kitchen has everything you need to whip up some tasty dishes using fresh ingredients, and you can eat alfresco out on the balcony. With space for a dining table, sun loungers, and views of the garden below, it's the ideal spot to relax in the fresh air. 

From here, you can wander down to Praia da Luz's sandy shoreline for a day paddling in the waves and catching some rays. There is a range of beachfront bars ready to help you refuel when you get hungry, and the town also offers easy access to some great coastal walking paths. Hike along the Trilho dos Pescadores – also known as the fishermans' trail – or take it easy with a round of golf at the local course, just five minutes away by car. 

Algarve Eternity

Wow your friends and family with a stay at this designer villa, quietly removed from the bustle of the West Coast's Comporta and yet just moments from the beach.

Inside, this place is a design lover's dream, with a chic dining room to host glamourous dinner parties and a high-style living room and adjoining library to beat the heat with afternoon reads and slumbers. While over in the bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms, curated art and splashes of azure blue add layers of interest and style.

But it's outside, hopping between the vast palm-fringed terraces and one-of-a-kind saltwater pool, where we think you'll be spending most of your time. Sneak away to the shady pergola for a cheeky siesta – the soft burbling of the contemporary water feature should help you drift off nicely. And when it's time to get your ensemble together, that covered veranda (with heaps of room for you and some guests) has sundowners written all over it.

When the sea finally lures you in, Comporta's shores, backed by wild grass-tufted sand dunes (just over one kilometre away), deliver all the cool, beach-shack vibes you're chasing. Or, for a complete change of pace, hop in the car for a day out in Lisbon – it's closer than you think.

We love the vibrant colours of this apartment that make it such a happy home, and with both bedrooms boasting en-suite bathrooms, you can enjoy a bit of privacy and quiet time, too. 

There’s a lot to explore in the local area, and a short ten-minute stroll will find you at the beach. After a fun-filled day on the coast, return home for a movie night to unwind.

This magical home in a stunning rural location has to be seen to be believed. Nestled in the Minho region of northern Portugal, it's around an hour from Porto, with the city of Braga just 10 miles away, but all you'll see here are green hills in every direction. 

Set on a hillside, your home has incredible gardens that go up and up, at one point disappearing into woodland. With a number of lawns and terraces, as well as a beautiful private pool and terrace, you won't be short of outside space – or somewhere for some quiet reading away from the group.

Inside, this traditional home has bags of character, with exposed stone walls, an eclectic mix of statement furniture and plenty of colourful wall art. A cosy living room features a log burner for the cooler months and there's a practical kitchen with all the mod-cons. And here you can choose to eat at the antique dining table indoors or out on the beautiful covered terrace. Meanwhile, a surprisingly contemporary staircase leads up to a galleried landing and there's a surprise in store up here – a pretty balcony with incredible views.
