This magnificent mansion is perched atop the cliff at Praia da Marinha, offering breathtaking views of the ocean and beach. You can walk to the beach straight from the garden when you fancy a dip in the sea – as a change from swimming in the private pool. The pool sits in lush gardens close to several terraces – there’s no shortage of outside space here so you won’t feel crowded even when you’re travelling with a large group. Inside, the villa is authentically Portuguese, blending vintage style with modern comfort. Everything you might need is to hand here, whether it’s a barbecue or a cosy wood-burning stove.

Home truths
We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
This home is spread over three floors so may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility.
Access to one of the twin bedrooms is via the single bedroom. We think these rooms are best suited to children.
The decor at this home is traditional and on the dated side – the bathrooms, in particular, could do with a refresh.
While not every bathroom has been photographed, we expect the style and standard to be consistent with the rest of the home.
