Villa Duna Pura
Comporta, Portugal
A Place to Gather and Unwind
This villa for rent in Portugal sits just outside the small village of Carvalhal, overlooking the rice fields of Comporta. We love its multi-structure layout, which is made up of one house for living, cooking and dining, another for sleeping, and a separate cabana, all clustered around the generously sized pool terrace.
We've noticed a growing trend recently for multi-structure homes, and this is a great example. At one end of the elongated swimming pool, you'll find a peaked structure that houses the indoor living room with its airy high-beamed ceiling, well-equipped modern kitchen, and dining room. It's fronted by a terrace divided into two sections, one for lounging and one for dining.
Running along the side of the pool is a rectangular structure, with striking barn doors, that houses two of the en-suite bedrooms. The third unit, a fringed cabana at the far end of the pool houses the third en-suite bedroom, with a small living room.
With its ample terraces, this is a home that blends indoor and outdoor living perfectly, offering a space that's ideal for a group of friends or a large family.
AROUND
This villa for rent in Portugal is located near the village of Carvalhal, a seven-minute drive from the beaches of Praia do Pego and Praia do Carvalhal, and 120km south of Lisbon. A shopping center, supermarket, pub and restaurant are within easy walking distance.
Comporta is in the Estuario del Sado Nature Reserve, where the Sado River meets the ocean. It's a popular destination for locals that has recently started attracting an international clientele because of its unspoiled charm and golden sandy beaches – so much so that it has recently been dubbed the Portuguese Hamptons.
The house is close to the town of Comporta with its gorgeous 60km beach. A former fishing village, it still retains its laid-back vibe and windswept natural beauty. It's also only 20 minutes from the Tróia Peninsula, a coastal gem with lovely beaches, crystal clear waters and pine forests.
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.
