Description Golden Fields & Salt: Comporta

Rice fields stretch out beyond the main bedroom window, and it's the kind of view that makes an early morning worthwhile. Outside, a heated pool sits within a fenced, landscaped garden – sun loungers for the afternoon, and a pergola-shaded terrace for long group dinners once the heat softens. The clean, light-filled interiors carry the same unhurried feeling as the surrounding Comporta landscape. Carvalhal village is just 300 metres away for cafes and restaurants, and the wild Atlantic shoreline of Comporta Beach is a twenty-nine-minute walk.

Home truths:
* You'll need a car for the beach – it's a 2.5 km drive or bike ride from the villa. A golf course is around 2 km away too, so having your own transport opens up the area. On-site parking is available in an open-air space within the grounds
* While the sixth bathroom isn't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
* The swimming pool isn't fenced.
