Casa Marítima
A stunning five-bedroom holiday home with a dreamy infinity pool and a lush garden in Comporta.
This stunning five-bedroom holiday home with a dreamy infinity pool and a lush garden is located near the beaches of Pego and Carvalhal, in Comporta.
As you arrive, you walk up to the house along a magnificent sensory path fringed by rosemary, lavender, swab grass, germander and shady trees.
The spacious villa is built using local materials in Comporta's style with beamed ceilings and thatched roofs inspired by the region's fishermen's huts. It features three double-bedroom suites, one bedroom with a double bed and another with twin beds, with these two rooms sharing a bathroom. Plus, there are several decked shaded terraces.
We love the open-plan living room and kitchen, which opens to an outdoor seating and dining terrace.
The decoration by Barracuda Interiors offers an eclectic mix of Portuguese regional crafts and late-20th-century furniture and highlights the collection of exquisite objects related to the sea - a reflection of the owner's passion for the ocean (read our interview).
Awesomeness
The owner worked on this project alongside Nuno Lopes, the architect behind some of the most beautiful houses in Comporta and Melides.
The perfumed garden was conceived by landscaper Charlotte Van Houtte.
There’s a huge beautiful fresco on the wall above the kitchen by artist Austin Redfield Tondini (Redfield & Dattner).
A 12 x 4 metre infinity pool, which can be heated on request.
You can buy local fruits and vegetables just a two-minute walk from the house.
Bear in Mind
One of the bedrooms is set in a lovely bungalow which is separate from the main house, behind the pool area.
The minimum stay is seven nights in the high season and five nights during the rest of the year.
Mosquitos can be a nuisance in Comporta during dusk and sunset in the hot summer months. The house is equipped with mosquito netting on all windows.
