Cork trees and open hillside surround this contemporary villa near Melides, where the pool terrace feels less like a feature and more like the reason you came – native planting, built-in lounging, and countryside stretching out ahead. A canopied terrace is ready for long alfresco lunches, while the rooftop offers wide panoramic views that come into their own at sunset. Inside, four bedrooms all open directly to the outdoors, and a light-filled living room slides open to the terrace. The Arrábida coastline, with its cliffs and clear water, is within reach for day trips.

Home truths
You're in a quiet rural setting, with the nearest shops, restaurants, and cafes around 8 km away in Melides village and the closest sandy beach 12 km away – you'll want to hire a car for the duration of your stay.
The access road leading to the villa is bumpy, so if you're in a low-clearance vehicle, it's worth bearing that in mind.
You'll have four open-air parking spaces on the premises – plenty of room if you're arriving in multiple vehicles.
