The villa
Villa Lianor is a lovely villa with a white - washed exterior set in luscious private grounds on the intriguing Tróia Peninsula, just moments from a golden stretch of beach.
This home has been designed with indoor - outdoor living at its heart, so guests can maximise their time in the Portuguese sunshine. The living areas are set over an airy, open - plan space, finished tastefully while being sympathetic to the local style with exposed traditional stone, terracotta tiles and open fireplace. The villa has a laid - back vibe ideal for families or groups, while every little touch of comfort has been thoughtfully considered.
With comfortable seating and large dining space, guests will immediately relax into the local pace of life; the villa is infused with natural light, while the large French windows allows the outside to merge seamlessly inside.
Ambient lighting, natural accents of ochre tones and that beautiful local stone give this villa an authentic and homely feel. The kitchen is large and well equipped with top range appliances, so guests will have no excuse to whip up delicious holiday feasts.
This home can accommodate twelve guests, over six bedrooms. Five of the bedrooms offer double beds, while the sixth comes with twin beds - perhaps the latter is an excellent choice for youngsters in the group! Each bedroom has its distinct accents of colour and beautiful views - the family can spread out here.
Villa Lianor comes into its own in the outdoor spaces. Outdoor living is the way of life here, with the built - in barbecue, children outdoor play area, beautiful green lawns and lush flowering plants, palm trees and fragrant pine trees, guests will find they slip into the Mediterranean lifestyle.
There is ample terrace space, shaded for alfresco dining, with large comfortable sofas, hammocks and day beds. There is a daybed gazebo in the shaded end of the lawn space, as well as a charming balcony that leads from the kitchen.

Located ten kilometres from Comporta, on the Tróia Peninsula, Villa Lianor provides a beautiful base to one of the most exciting and vibrant parts of Portugal.
Comporta is Portugal’s answer to St Tropez; it has a chic laid - back vibe with wonderful restaurants and pristine sands backed by windswept dunes - a designer’s haven.
This region of Portugal is ideal for water sports enthusiasts, whether it be canoeing, snorkelling, diving or surfing, the area is a water lovers paradise.
The beauty of the Lisbon coast is that it provides a breezy escape from the capital, whilst being home to some of Portugal’s historic jewels, which attract thousands of visitors: the ancient walled town of Obidos, the 12th century monastery at at Alcobaca, the Catholic pilgrimage site of Fatima, and the fairytale palaces of Sintra.
There are many attractive towns to visit along the Lisbon coast, such as the beautiful former fishing village of Cascais, the vibrant resort town of Estoril, or the surfer’s paradise Carcavelos or romantic town of Sintra.
Taking the Atlantic road from Ericeira to Peniche, down to the pretty, well - heeled town of Comporta, visitors will come across small harbour villages, hilltop castles, estuary reserves with flocks of flamingoes and mile upon mile of beach.
Sintra deserves mention; perched above wooded slopes, it is known for its turreted palaces, the most famous being the ornate Palacio Nacional and the pink and yellow Palacio da Pena. The town’s cool hilltop air has long attracted writers, artists and poets.
