Overlooking the white sands of highly sought after Praia Grande beach is this rustic and charming villa in a renovated former bee cottage. The villa broods harmony between raw nature, beautiful coastline, and easy living to match the charm of the Portuguese fishing village. The lush garden provides space for children to roam while the adults watch from plush sun loungers. As soon as you bore of the pool, just 600m away lies the stunning white beach. One of our favourite highlights was the private steps that led from the villa right out onto the sand, providing immediate beach access. Aside from time spent relaxing at the seaside-chic villa, the outside area of the town provides sailing boat rental, canoeing, and a bustling village square with local fare and fishermen showcasing the catch of the day.
