This home just outside of Ericeira ticks nearly every box. Our favourite feature is the private plunge pool – the perfect antidote to Portugal's endless sunshine. There's ample space on the terrace for alfresco meals and evening sundowners, while indoors, you'll find even more room to unwind. The design here is bright, breezy, and uber modern. You'll have everything you need to feel at home, including a separate study where you can hunker down and work. Location-wise, some of the country's best beaches are within a five-minute drive (or a twenty-minute walk). You'll also have access to the neighbourhood's firepit and picnic tables – the ideal spot to soak up the sea views.

• Your host can arrange airport transfers, sightseeing tours, tickets to local attractions, and luggage storage for an additional fee.Cost on request
