This area is commended for its vast portfolio of flawless beaches, such as Comporta Beach, which can be found around half an hour away from the villa.

If you consider yourself to be a European wine fanatic, you must take the time to visit Quinta do Brejinho, only 15 minutes away. This prestigious establishment focuses on using natural resources, ensuring that crops are nourished by sunlight and that the soil is rich in essential minerals. Using this method, the winery is able to produce a wealth of amazing drinks without losing touch with traditional winemaking techniques. On a guided tour of the grounds, guests can broaden their understanding of how these products are manufactured, and learn more about natural wine making in the region. 

Horse riding has become a very popular pastime amongst both locals and tourists, and Horses by the Beach is a nearby organisation that will give you the chance to take part during your stay. They will take you on a beautiful journey through the landscape, including across a local beach, offering you the opportunity to observe this area from an entirely new perspective. 

This region is also well known for its food scene, making it a great holiday destination for passionate foodies. One of the region’s most recognised dishes is Azeitao, an indulgent semi - soft cheese that is typically made from unpasteurised sheep milk. This unusual cheese is often served with homemade bread and fresh fruit, and can be found in a variety of bars and restaurants. Definitely worth a try!
