Casa do Pego

This modern luxury villa is a feast for the eyes and a triumph for architect Pedro Ferreira Pinto. Elemental building materials and beautiful clean lines make this sublime home stand out whilst perfectly blending into the spectacular landscape. Abundant with design statements from polished concrete floors to a stunning rooftop pool - and just minutes from the long sandy beach of Praia de Pego - you are in for a real treat.

The lounge area is a masterclass in the art of effortless styling with natural-fibre rugs, iconic furniture and eye-catching textiles. And the gorgeous floating fireplace and underfloor heating ensure it’s the perfect destination all year round. Impressive dual aspect doors lead out onto the front terrace and inner courtyard - making it the epitome of a light and airy living space.

The kitchen is a rather designer affair with concrete kitchen units and breakfast bar, a large wooden table and simple pendant lighting. It is absolutely stunning.

The lounge and kitchen area both look out onto the inner courtyard which is a wonderfully private haven. The wood deck flooring, sunlounger and communal table make it a gloriously laid-back place to relax - whilst the large tree brings some welcome shade. And at the front of the house is another beautifully decked terrace that takes in the most of the countryside views and exquisitely designed gardens.

Back inside, you can be assured that the luxe feel of the property flows into the three double bedrooms. All are divine with large sumptuous beds, soft linens and handsome views. With the polished concrete floors, large rugs and elegant muted colour schemes all adding a thoroughly opulent note.

Outside the rooftop pool is the icing on this designer cake. The stylish pine deck and bright orange sun loungers sit fabulously next to the bright aqua pool. Surrounded by the sound of the ocean, the smell of pine trees and views of the Arrabida mountain - it’s pure joy for all the senses.

Comporta is one of Portugal’s most exclusive beach destinations. Being just one hour from Lisbon airport and boasting the dazzling long sandy beach of Pego, it’s easy to see why this has become the go to destination of the jet-set traveller. Take a short stroll through the dunes to the idyllic sandy beach with its clear blue water - it really should be no surprise to hear that Praia de Pego has been voted Portugal’s best beach on numerous occasions. The renowned restaurant Sal sits on the seafront serving up fabulously fresh seafood in elegant surroundings. And the local village of Comporta is just a few kilometres away. It’s a delightfully sleepy affair with tiny rambling streets, cafes and elegant boutiques all set against the quaint blue and white backdrop of a traditional Portuguese fishing village.
