This property is a really unique space. Located an hour away from the capital, Lisbon, it’s close to the hip seaside town of Comporta and surrounded by nature. A long barn with thatched roof, it’s reminiscent of a tropical palapa, with windows running the entire length of the house and looking out over a large fire pit. It’s sparingly furnished, with living spaces both inside and out, all of which add to the wonderful beach vibe.
The house has a living area (a lounge with TV, and a kitchen/dining space) on the ground floor, and a sleeping area upstairs, with two bedrooms under a gabled roof. The space is really pared down, with bare wooden stairs and exposed wood throughout.
The entire property, which includes three buildings, is available to rent. It sleeps 10 guests in 5 bedrooms, with 7 beds. A vacation home rental in Portugal that’s perfect for all types of groups.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
There is on-site parking. The house has a TV, as well as an iron and hairdryer. There is heating but no air conditioning. There is a washing machine on site.
AROUND
The property is close to the village of Carvalhal, and five minutes from the breezy beach town of Comporta and its gorgeous 60km long beach. A former fishing village, it has recently become very popular but still retains its laidback vibe and windswept natural beauty.
It is one hour from Lisbon, 90 minutes away from the Algarve, and within easy reach of the Tróia Peninsula (a 17km long beach). The Natural Reserve of the Sado Estuary is close by – one of the most beautiful beaches in the country and a great location for watching dolphins and storks.
Other local attractions include the Serra de Grândola mountain, which is great for hiking and biking, the Moorish town of Santiago do Cacem, with its quaint cobblestone streets and fortifications, and the ancient Roman settlement of Miróbriga.
