The detail

Tucked away in one of Portugal's undiscovered coastal towns, Casinhoto is a magnificent villa with a gorgeous pool, abundant space and everything you could dream of for the ultimate villa holiday. Spread between three freestanding buildings, and capable of accommodating up to 10 guests between five spacious bedrooms, Casinhoto is the ultimate getaway for friend groups, multi-family parties and anybody else looking to experience Portugal in all of its glory.

The main house serves as a central hub, where guests tend to congregate, make plans for the day and cook together after getting back from the beach. As well as boasting a large and charming dining space with enough room for all 10 guests, the main building also hosts one of the villa's five double bedrooms. The kitchen comes with everything you'll require to whip up everything from quick picnics before a day at the surfing school to celebratory meals for the whole group, to be enjoyed at the formal table or alfresco.

The other two buildings house the other four bedrooms, each decorated in the villa's distinctive local style, with many of them offering ensuite bathrooms. This three building set-up is ideal for groups of families going on holiday together and multi-generational groups where space is important. Each one of the buildings shares the same commitment to calming hues, charming design and large, picture windows to bring the distinctive scenery and long Portuguese light inside.

Outdoors, guests will be delighted by the various chill-out spaces, with sun loungers and outdoor furniture as well as a canopied area to get out of the direct sun during the day. There really is nothing like enjoying a hot cup of coffee as you bask in the morning light, or enjoying a cold cocktail in the lengthy evening, chatting to friends and taking the occasional dip in the pool.

Days at Casinhoto are typically spent outdoors, with swimmers, surfers and beach enthusiasts heading straight to the gorgeous local beach, and more sedate holiday-makers pottering about the villa with a book, swimming in the pool and catching up in the idyllic surroundings. Either explore the various casual eateries which specialise in fresh local seafood, or bring back fish and meat to prepare at the villa.

For a serious treat, you can even engage an expert chef to whip up meals for you in the comfort of your own villa, and take care of everything from the wine to the washing up. Whether this is your first time in the region or you've been coming to the Comporta area for years, Casinhoto is guaranteed to leave you relaxed and delighted.
