Rua do Mar

Sitting in the heart of Comporta village, this villa puts the local market, boutiques, restaurants, and the beach all within a short stroll – no car needed. The courtyard and pool terrace are where the days unfold: a heated saltwater pool edged with traditional deckchairs, a pergola-shaded dining area, hammock corners, and a Big Green Egg barbecue station. Indoors, five en-suite bedrooms – each air-conditioned with its own walk-in shower – keep things comfortable, while the main bedroom upstairs comes with a private living area. Whitewashed walls, green-tiled finishes, and tadelakt bathrooms give the villa its distinctly Comporta character.

Home truths:
* The sandy beach is 1.8 km away – an easy walk on a cooler day, though most guests will want to drive or cycle in the summer heat. There is unrestricted free on-street parking.
* For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here.
* The swimming pool isn't fenced.
* As with many beach side, open air villas, you may see the occasional summer visitor (for example ants)
* The kitchen wear in some villas could use updating.
