Tucked on the edge of the São Vicente Valley, this home boasts dramatic views across rolling countryside. Inside, it’s bright and homely, with a well-equipped kitchen for prepping family meals. There’s no air conditioning, but plenty of windows and French doors keep things fresh and breezy. Outside, a lounge overlooks the sloping green fields – perfect for sunset cocktails – and there’s a barbecue and dining area for alfresco feasting. The location is remote (that’s part of the charm), yet you’re only a ten-minute drive from the restaurants and shops of São Vicente village, while walking and cycling trails lead straight from your door.
