A beautiful four-bedroom house with views from its aquamarine pool and balconies bedecked with hammocks. While it’s highly sophisticated and coolly contemporary, it also has a real respect for tradition with its terrazzo floors, rustic carved doors and simple colour scheme of textured white walls and soft blues.

There are two parkings and also a kiosk at the entrance with national and internacional publications, as well as a few beach toys for the little ones. There on, leave the car on the side of the road and take one of the possible trails. What awaits you is a long stretch of beach also known as "the secret ones".

This little village sits among the pine forests, rice fields and dunes near Comporta with a wonderful white-sand beach that is the perfect setting for a gallop as the sun sets. Rent a horse from nearby Cavalos na Areia and pick your way over the dunes to the foam-flecked turquoise waters. Alternatively, try the Comporta Beach Club on Praia de Carvalhal and lunch on the freshest oysters with your feet in the sand before winding back through the village past storks nesting on telegraph poles and houses in the characteristic thatch and reed vernacular architecture.
