This sprawling villa was designed with the coastal view in mind – and with three sun-kissed terraces to choose from, you'll have plenty of spots to revel in the scenery. Begin the morning with a refreshing swim in the private pool, then sprawl out on lounge chairs for a snooze in the afternoon rays. Sunsets here are simply sublime, and we think the best place to appreciate them is the roof terrace. As the day draws to a close, gaze out at the Atlantic Ocean shimmering on the horizon – a glass of Vinho Verde in hand. Inside, the glossy kitchen has everything you'll need to rustle up a feast – although we think the outdoor kitchen and alfresco dining space will be hard to resist. Your hosts have thought of everything here, from a ping-pong table downstairs to a food lift ready to cart your meals from one floor to the next. You can lounge about on the sofa with a book from the host's collection, play a board game around the table or retreat to the four cosy bedrooms for a good night's sleep. When you're ready to venture out, Moledo's expansive beach is only a few kilometres away. A hotspot for surfing, you'll love dipping your toes in the Atlantic and feeling the sand between your toes. Your host can also arrange various tours, wine-tasting experiences and private chefs specialising in traditional Portuguese dishes to make your stay here extra special.
