Pine House Portugal
Holiday Home Rental Description
Gaining its name from the surrounding lush pine forest, Pine Forest is an architectural feast for the eyes. Concrete, glass windows, and pine wood decks merge seamlessly with the environment, making guests feel as though they really are at one with nature during their Comporta escape.
Pine House is a stunning villa in Comporta, Portugal, a quaint village just over an hour’s drive from Lisbon that encapsulates the rich geographical diversity in this area of the country. Despite the spacious and open-plan nature of the property, guests will still enjoy complete privacy, thanks to the surrounding 23 hectares of land the house is nestled in.
Inside, Pine House boasts five bedrooms, all with en-suites, comfortably sleeping up to eight adults and four children. Two of the rooms have double beds, two have two single beds, and a final, further bedroom has been designed solely for children, with a set of two bunk beds. All of the rooms offer uninterrupted views of the astonishing woodland surroundings, meaning you can welcome in each day and drift off to sleep immersed in nature.
Unwind in the large living and dining room, where the lounge area has sofas and a dining table that accommodates all twelve guests, perfect for entertaining. The spaces are separated with an elegant and modern fireplace, a key focal point of the property.
There is also a beautiful state-of-the-art open kitchen, complete with a sleek breakfast bar. Families and groups will love the mezzanine TV room too, the ideal place to relax after a busy day spent exploring the local countryside and coast.
The major perk of Pine House is the vast outdoor space, making it one of the most unique villas in Comporta. Explore the surrounding meadow or take a dip in the outdoor swimming pool. Families with younger kids will love the children’s playground, and there’s even a football and volleyball greenfield too, ideal for sports enthusiasts. With the magnificent views of the garden from the living room thanks to the floor to ceiling windows, Pine House encourages guests to embrace the outdoors and throw themselves in Comporta’s countryside living.
Despite being just a 1 hour and 15 minute drive from the capital of Lisbon, Comporta is a hidden gem in the Alentejo region that combines the lure of the coast with countryside living. While many simply embark on a road-trip to the village when staying in Lisbon or one of the nearby resort towns, over the years, Comporta has grown in popularity with holidaymakers looking to stay exclusively in the area. The village invites visitors to step away from the bustle of city life, and embrace a more relaxed atmosphere.
This secret paradise has gained attention from celebrities, seeking an uninterrupted escape and peaceful holiday. Comporta is uniquely located between rice paddies and the Atlantic Ocean. The white sand beaches and fishing cabins are iconic to this area of Portugal, prompting a slow and tranquil pace of life.
Make no mistake though – despite the absence of hoards of tourists and thumping nightclubs, there is still so much to see and do in Comporta and the surrounding area.
The epic waves make surfing by the vast beaches a popular activity, while restaurants and cafes offer an authentic taste of Portuguese cuisine. Foodies won’t want to leave without sampling the black pig meat, an Alentejo speciality which is used in many of the local dishes.
The land is also rich in wine and olive production thanks to the nearby Alqueva dam. Spend some time visiting the numerous vineyards surrounding Comporta, and pick up a souvenir or two.
Of course, the rice paddies neighbouring Comporta make the grain a local delicacy. When paired with fresh seafood plucked from the Atlantic coast, you have a range of mouthwatering meals to try.
Continue to look to the seas and you may even catch sight of dolphins, creatures well-known for gracing the area with their elegant beauty. Explore the Sado estuary in a catamaran for a greater chance of spotting them, alongside other marine life.
You can also explore the pine forests or do a spot of shopping in the local boutiques in the village, with many products made from Comporta’s famed cork oak.
Beyond Comporta, the capital city of Lisbon is easily reachable via car or train and a highly recommended day trip. Just 20 minutes drive south of Comporta is the charming town of Melides, home to picturesque blue-painted houses, a covered market, and the breathtaking Melides Lagoon. Neighbouring Comporta, and again just a 10-15 minute drive, is Troia, an area that boasts one of the best golf courses in Europe and a marina that is perfect for windsurfing and sailing.
