Enjoy some proper peace and serenity at this gorgeous apartment, situated in Carvoeiro in the Algarve. This beautiful home has plenty of space to spread out and sit back, with two outdoor terraces from which to soak up the sun, and features calming and muted interiors to leave you feeling truly relaxed. It's ideal for couples and small groups, and sits in a fantastic location to explore the region, with its gorgeous beaches and fun-loving atmosphere.

Start each day with a cup of coffee and enjoy it out on your terrace while you look out over views of the ocean. Head down to Praia do Paraíso, located just 50 metres away, and have a dip in the beautiful blue water or lie back and relax on the golden sand. Come back up to your central apartment and cool off from the hot sun with a refreshing outdoor shower, before making a pitcher of sangria and firing up the barbecue for a night of feasting. Retire inside when night falls and cosy up in the beds, ready to do it all again the next day. 

Ocean Lookout

If you long for a quiet retreat in a quaint cottage by the sea, your search is over – this home will tick every one of your holiday boxes and more. Nestled in São Jorge on the northern coast of Madeira, this is seclusion at its finest. Mere metres away from the beach, your home looks out over the Atlantic with a mountainous backdrop. 

Step inside, and the open-plan space ushers natural light in from every angle. Small in size but still packing a significant punch, you’ll find everything you need for a memorable stay. We love the terrace area  – how could you ever tire of that view? Many happy hours will be spent here, tucked up on the sofa, the barbecue sizzling away in the background and the smell of the food mixing with the unmistakable scent of the ocean that wraps itself around you. As you listen to the sound of the waves lapping against the shore, pour yourself a glass of wine and simply enjoy the moment with your loved ones. They say time flies when you’re having fun – before you know it, the sun will have dropped below the ocean and a blanket of stars will have opened out above you. Weary from the fresh sea air and the pure bliss of a day doing nothing, you can head to bed with wonderful memories and the promise of more to come. 

Sun, Sea & Solitude

It's hard not to pinch yourself as you gaze down from The Scarlet Letter, at the charming vineyards and olive groves on the hill slopes of Douro Valley. There are several nooks to hang out by the pool and we especially love the quirky classroom setting in the gaming room that nudges towards the home's past as a school for kids. Secluded and pristine, a short drive takes you to the town of Pinhão, renowned for its vineyards and high quality Port, while a relaxing boat ride down the river gives you glimpses of the native wildlife. Still further away, the town of Provesende is a peek into the historical architecture and life of this picturesque region. When you're done with the day, recharge by the fireplace with a port and a plateful lovingly cooked by your own personal chef right at home.

The Scarlet Letter

Welcome to a modern sanctuary, nestled amongst tranquil nature in São Martinho, Madeira. Overlooking a panoramic cityscape intertwined beautifully with azure sea, this 4th floor retreat offers breath-taking views and an ambience of relaxation. Warm light bathes a plush bedroom, comfortable living area and an inviting balcony, perfect for outdoor dining. The kitchen fully stocked with all home comforts allows you the freedom to create your favourite meals. A refreshing swimming pool and manicured gardens add to this uniquely blissful experience. A short saunter introduces a world of quaint restaurants and bustling shops. Whispering delights in every corner, the Funchal Marina and Mercado dos Lavradores are just a stone's throw away. This peace haven combines all the modern amenities and convenience beyond expectation. Note: Expect moderate daytime noise due to construction work nearby. Access to free public roadside parking available, while keeping food well-packaged is a local wisdom here.

A Fine Point of View

This is a truly magical place to stay. Step inside the Tree House Villa complex and you will be transported to a world of Portuguese charm and history.

The Tree House Villa

The moment you step into this house, you can tell the owner has impeccable taste. The open living area is a joy to relax in – kick back on the powder pink L-shaped sofa while you leaf through one of the coffee table books. With its earthy green palette, marble worktops, and full range of cooking utensils, you’ll love whipping up meals in the kitchen. Set across three floors, the rooms are wide and airy, and there is plenty of space and privacy for everyone. Downstairs, the two king bedrooms have en suite bathrooms, and there is a further bathroom with a bathtub for soaking in after a day of exploring. 

On the top floor there is a serene, light-filled office space, from which you can step out onto the balcony that stretches across the front of the house, overlooking the Tejo river. 

The home is in a perfect location for those wanting to enjoy the hustle and bustle of a city while being able to relax in the comfort and peace of a little village. Lisbon is easily reachable: walk 200 metres to Porto Brandao where you can catch a twelve-minute ferry to Belem, one of the most culturally significant and beautiful neighbourhoods in Lisbon. On sunny days, drive eleven minutes to the coast of Caparica and you will find miles of golden sandy beaches.

Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and situated only a few minutes walk from dos Pescadores beach, you couldn’t be better positioned if your priority is proximity to the sand.
