Villa Comporta – Casa do Pego – Surface area : 310 m2

Villa Comporta is literally built on the sand! Its unique architecture has already become a landmark of best design practice in the area. The villa stands harmoniously over the sand dunes 300m from Praia do Pego beach in Comporta, a popular summer destination among the european elite. 80 km South of Lisbon, Comporta is blessed with endless sandy beaches to the West and the unique setting of the protected Sado Estuary (with its dolphins and the Arrabida Mountain Range National Park) to the East and the North.

Although modern and hip, the clean and discreet architectural design of the single floor villa blends with the sand dunes and the Formosa laguna with grace. The interiors are mostly made from modern materials such as smooth polished cement, which cleverly highlights designer furniture and its colours throughout. Exotic touches of Moroccan influence such as the Tadelak bathrooms and furniture, give the finishing touches of exclusive low key glamour and refinement.
The main entrance hall is accessed close to the parking area. The living areas on your right are vast and boast wonderful views, thanks to all-glass doors opening onto one of the many terraces, overlooking the laguna and the beach. Entertainment is provided by cable TV with international channels, a DVD player and an iPod docking station. During winter time, the interior is warm and welcoming thanks to under-floor heating and a double fireplace; during the summer, the clever ventilation mans it is never too warm. The dining room seats easily 12, and in the central courtyard, around which the house is set, there is another dining table for 12 and a barbecue.
The large (28m2) master bedroom with en-suite bathroom has a designer four-poster bed made of wood tree trunks; and behind its wooden shutters, a standard throughout the house, all-glass doors provide access to the large terrace which overlooks the laguna.

To your left and facing South, a corridor leads you to a twin and a quadruple bedroom, which share a bathroom. The quadruple bedroom has 2 bunk-beds, which is ideal for families with many children. The interior of each bedroom has been thoroughly designed to provide maximum comfort and relaxation in understated luxury. These two bedrooms can be accessed directly from the outside through all-glass doors, with the sand below!

At the back of the house, and opening onto a sunny rear terrace, another double en-suite bedroom and a double bedroom with separate shower room. All 5 bathrooms were carefully designed and some of their walls decorated with artistic mural pictures. The rear terrace is a safe playground for toddlers and has access to the laundry room.

The airy and fully equipped kitchen has a central working isle and a separate breakfast area, from which you can access the outdoor central patio and dining area.

The masterpiece is outside. Overlooking the sea and the distant Arrabida National Park, the chic private heated swimming pool (15m2,5m) lies on top of the house. Next to it, there is a fabulous built-in designer sundeck and an exterior table with a parasol and chairs. There is also an outdoor shower.

The villa has its own spacious drive for private parking.

Note: From November to April, the swimming pool is not available.

Location
Villa Comporta is a designer self catering villa to let on a short term basis in Praia do Pego beach, the most exclusive area of the highly selective summer destination of Comporta. 80 km South of Lisbon, Comporta is the longest sandy beach in Europe (stretching over 60km). Comfortably protected from the northern winds by the beautiful Arrabida Mountain Range across the Sado Estuary, the area is still untouched by real estate boom, which makes Comporta one of the coolest and most desired holiday locations in Europe. The Casiraghi royal family from Monaco, the King of Jordan or the French president’s family of Nicolas Sarkozy are regular visitors of Praia do Pego beach.

Troia resort, with its golf course, casino, beautiful beaches, restaurants and night clubs is a short 15 minute drive to the North. Across from the beautiful peninsula, Setubal and the Arrabida National Park are within easy reach via a ferry boat across the Sado Estuary, from which you can ocasionally spot dolphins and flamingos.
Comporta is surrounded by historic towns, which have been moulded across centuries, first by the phoenicians, then the Romans, then the Moors and later from the 13th by the Catholic Reconquista, each leaving an important print on the landscape. There are traces of forts and settlements from as early as the 6th century BC. The area became quite important in the Roman times due to the culture of salt, and there are roman ruins and monuments splattered from Troia in the North to Santiago do Cacém in the South, which are worth a visit. Just to the south is the town of Sines, which is known for its geographically important port. It has a beautiful well preserved small Castle overlooking the narrow streets of the pleasent old centre. It has several small beautiful sandy beaches usually with great panoramic views of the west coast. Also to the south is Santiago do Cacém, a lovely town full of character which should also be visited. To the north is Setúbal, known for its fantastic fresh fish.

And of course 80 km away is Lisbon, an easy day trip, an hour’s drive along the motorway.

Comporta Beach is the longest sandy beach in Europe: over 60km of protected and unspoiled coastline in a still undiscovered area

The modern and luxurious Villa Comporta is in Praia do Pego beach, the most exclusive beach in Comporta. For lovers of nature, there are observation posts and tours in the nearby Sado Estuary,to watch the many animals about, such as flamingos and dolphins.

Praia do Pego

Beaches
Praia do Pego is 300m from the house and offers all the amenities expected of a high quality beach. It won the prize of “best beach facilities” in Portugal. The “Casa do Peixe”, literally on the sand, restaurant won several awards for its refined cuisine.

Comporta beach is situated in the limits of the wonderful Sado Estuary Nature Reserve, which allows the region to preserve all its astonishing natural beauty. Comporta combines the charm of its dunes, the extensive pine tree area and the refreshing ocean.
With a quite extensive sandy area, the beach provides good conditions for surfing and kite surfing alike. Comporta beach is the longest sandy beach in the whole of Europe. It has well deserved fame. Parking facilites are good, and being so large it is never too crowded. As well as this the beach offers good amenities.

Gastronomy and wine tasting
The region is famed for its gastronomy, with its fresh grilled fish being an inexpensive delight. Five formal wine routes have been devised in the Setubal peninsula by the ‘Rota de Vinhos’ association, combining wine tasting with sightseeing, arts and nature.
Excellent fresh fish and seafood restaurants are easy to find and inexpensive.

Troia Golf

Golf
