Tucked into peaceful countryside near Comporta, this villa is built around the pull of the outdoors – an infinity pool with wooded hills rolling away in the distance, a terrace made for long barbecue evenings, and an outdoor climbing wall for those who need a little more from their downtime. Inside, floor-to-ceiling glass fills the living spaces with countryside light, and a fireplace keeps things warm once the sun drops. When you're ready to venture out, the unspoiled shores of the Alentejo coastline and the turquoise coves of Arrábida Natural Park – about sixty-three minutes by car – reward the detour.

Home truths

  • The nearest town, supermarket, and beaches are all a drive away – the closest shops are 10 km out and the beaches are 15 km. You'll want to hire a car to make the most of your stay. Parking at the villa is open-air rather than covered or in a garage.

  • While the fourth bathroom isn't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

  • This is a single-level home, so it may suit guests with reduced mobility.

  • The swimming pool isn't fenced.

  • Housekeeping is included for two hours a day, Monday to Saturday.
