First-class Comporta retreat!
"Lose yourself in this private Comporta wonderland of enchanting blue and white cabanas enhanced by aromatic fruit trees and miles of silence." - Reviewed by Lisa
Enjoying the tranquillity and delights of nature amidst such chic Comporta surroundings with outstanding service is really a privilege afforded to few.
A sprawling Comporta rental home… a luxury compound, a VIP retreat, these are all labels that could categorise this exceptional property. Nestled amidst the rice paddies, immersed in the sound of birdsong and countryside peace, are 17 acres (7 hectares) of spectacular Comporta real estate.
Comprising a multitude of quaint and charming Comporta-style cabanas connected by olive-tree-lined “boardwalks” (jauntily lit after sundown by solar-panelled, shell-filled jam jars) these cabanas each accommodate sleeping, dining, entertaining, TV watching and kitchen living. Each unique and captivating space filled with lovingly found furnishings and cherished collections, creates a decorator’s delight and a fantasy world for those looking for somewhere out of the ordinary.
Inside and outside are in harmony with one another as moving from one delightful space to another requires constant contact with nature. Beautifully manicured exteriors filled with shrubs, local trees, bursts of flowering plants co-exist with water features ideal for kiddie splashing and quick refreshment. Meanwhile, hidden sandy patios wait to let life’s stresses pass you by and make wonderfully convivial meeting points where family fun, chic soirées and spectacular events can happen.
A five-minute walk reveals the almost private Comporta beach. Cross the sandy dunes and marvel at your own shaded beach set up on the 40 kms of golden, windswept sand.
House staff are on hand to serve beverages and lunch complete with a homemade picnic or beachside BBQ.

Living Areas
A home to experience living and dining in a sophisticated causal manner. Laid-back days mean enjoying beachy Comporta style hedonism, shady bliss, plenty of sofas and daybeds for chilling and naturally artful places to linger over a salad or revel in a beachside Portuguese feast.
Several eclectically decorated individual cabanas create unique living spaces and are artfully integrated with the pretty outdoor spaces. Even the sofas change their décor with the season.
When the sun goes down head for the central patio complete with seating around a magnificent ancient olive tree and adjacent pergola, covered alfresco dining and even a swing from which to enjoy a spritz.
A charming dining cabana welcomes inclement weather and pays homage to the grown-on-site vegetable and herb garden with its living (edible) centrepiece.
