Nature's Canvas Comporta, Setubal

Holiday Rental Description

In the beautiful village of Comporta, among the sandy beaches and grass-topped dunes, the stripey green rice fields and yellow carpets of flowers, this home offers a secluded retreat on Portugal's west coast. The exterior is classic Comporta, with woven roofs and a laid-back cabana-style.

What makes this home particularly special, perhaps, is that it comprises three separate, single-level villas, meaning every bedroom has its own terrace and easy access to the emerald green swimming pool that takes centre stage in the courtyard. This means there's plenty of privacy, whether you want to take a moment to meditate in the morning sunshine or sip a cup of coffee in a comfy chair. The villas are surrounded by lush green gardens, complete with a barbecue and patio area that was designed with alfresco feasts in mind – truly a treat to come home to after a day of exploring.

Speaking of which, you won't be short on things to see and do here. Attracting artists, A-listers and surfers alike, we'd go as far as to say that there's nowhere else on earth quite like Comporta. Surrounded by spectacular scenery, from wild beaches to pine forests, this is a nature lover's paradise. Spend your time swimming, paddle boarding or simply walking – there's always something new to discover thanks to the area's magnificent landscape.
