Overview
Set in the peaceful residential area of Comporta on the west coast of Portugal, about an hour’s drive from Lisbon sits this comfortable four-bedroom family home. Just 4.5km from the beach, it’s a thoroughly modern villa with plenty of space for everyone. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors make it a light and airy retreat.
On the ground floor, the open-plan design means you can unwind on the sofas or chat with friends in the elevated dining area. During the day, slide open the glass doors and let the warm Mediterranean breeze waft in, while in the evening, it’s the perfect spot to take it easy with a film on the Smart TV. Off from the living area, you’ll find a sleek and shiny kitchen equipped with every appliance you’ll need to create memorable family dinners. Serve meals at the sociable dining table, or dine alfresco at the table overlooking the garden and pool. A colourful bathroom and two cheerful double bedrooms with direct access to the garden and pool are also located on this floor.
From the ground floor, a floating staircase sweeps up to the first floor, where you’ll find a delightful master suite swathed in natural light. Featuring a double bed, contemporary furnishings, and a cheerful en-suite bathroom, it’s a wonderfully comfortable space. It also boasts a private balcony so you can sit and bask in the morning sun, and there’s even a handy office room should you need to catch up on work. An additional bedroom featuring a double bed and single bed can be found on the lower ground floor.
Back on the ground floor, step outside onto the decked terrace and soak up the sun on a lounger. During the day, relax with a good book in the garden, or plunge into the heated swimming pool. And as the day draws to an end, throw some fresh fish on the barbeque and dine alfresco under the stars. Villa Gulato is located in a quiet residential area. It’s less than a 10-minute walk to the local restaurant, and it’s also ideally located for outdoor activities, with golf and surfing just some of the options on offer nearby.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa GulatoVilla Gulato is set in the small beachside village of Comporta, a charming place in the old district of Setúbal on the Troia peninsula. From the villa, it’s less than a 10-minute drive to Comporta Beach, a beautiful white sandy beach that stretches for miles. With its clear waters and rolling waves, it’s the perfect beach for surfing. If you fancy trying your hand at the sport, you can hire a board and wetsuit at the surf rental store or book a lesson. Alternatively, kayak in the water or explore the beach on horseback.
Afterwards, be sure to enjoy a bite to eat at the beachside snack bar. Here you can sample local, freshly cooked fish with platters, including squid, sardines, mackerel, and swordfish. The nearby Cais Palafitico do Porto da Carrasqueira is also worth a visit. Just a 5-minute drive from the villa, it’s a pretty harbour with a pier built on stilts. Walk along the pier and watch the local fishing boats unloading their hauls, and on a clear day, you’ll be able to see the Sado Estuary with its countless species of birds.
A day trip to the Sado Estuary is a must, and you can jump on a yacht or catamaran at the Troia marina (20 minutes). Spend the day on the estuary’s freshwater and enjoy the thrill of spotting the resident bottlenose dolphins or explore the estuary on foot with this vast wetland boasting a mixed landscape of marshes, sandbanks, rice paddies, woods and reed plantations. The estuary is home to more than 250 species of bird, and in the autumn and winter, pretty flamingos cover this area in a blanket of pink. But if you’d rather spend your day playing golf, head to Troia Golf Course (15 minutes) and enjoy a round at the 18-hole course.

THE REGION
Comporta is surrounded by rice paddies, the ocean, sand dunes and pine forests. It's a unique place where you can connect with nature and live in the moment. Comporta has a rhythm and an ambience that are all it's own. This wild and unspoilt part of Portugal attracts an in-the-know international crowd, including renowned artists, designers, and A-listers.
Comporta has a remarkable diversity of natural systems with long stretches of beach, windswept dunes, scenic pine forests, salt marshes and rice paddies which become a vibrant green in June. The region is also characterized by rice fields and its main attraction, the Comporta beach: 20 kilometres of uninterrupted white sand, a beach lover’s paradise.
As with the rest of Portugal, you can expect sun-blessed weather year-round in Comporta. The best months of the year to visit Comporta for long beach stays are from June to September, while the spring and autumn months are still suitable for picnics or day trips.
ABOUT THE LISBON COAST
The Lisbon Coast is a sensational stretch of golden beaches, wave-lashed cliffs and vibrant seaside towns – but there's more to the Atlantic coastline than that. Delve beneath the surface to discover hidden coves, family-owned seafood restaurants and pristine natural parks.
The coast around Lisbon provides an easy, breezy escape from the capital, whose proximity has made it the stomping ground of kings for the last 1,000 years. In summer, Lisboistas stream into elegant Comporta and Cascais to escape the heat of the city; year-round, surfers hang loose on the coast, waiting for the rollers to crash down on the sand.
But while you're enjoying one of our fantastic villas on Lisbon Coast, you may well want to take some time out from all that sun worship to explore everything else the region has to offer – so we've put together this handy travel guide to give you a little help and inspiration!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Gulato is a great choice for any family, with plenty of space both inside and out. Children will love having an open-plan living area, and they can relax in their own space, play board games, listen to music and watch their favourite programmes on the TV. But when the sun is out, kids will want to spend the day splashing in the outdoor swimming pool, relaxing on a sun lounger, or enjoying an ice cream on the lawn. A shady decked area and a barbeque area mean family meals can also be enjoyed al fresco by the pool.
For a day at the beach, pack the sun cream and drive to Comporta Beach. It’s a beautiful sandy beach surrounded by rice fields and pine trees. Although the Atlantic waters mean the sea is chilly and choppy, kids can hire wetsuits and learn how to surf at the surf school. Older children can also try their hand at paddle boarding or ride along the coastline on horseback. If you want to learn more about the history of Comporta, be sure to visit the Rice Museum. Located in an old factory, kids can marvel at the machines and devices and discover how rice was produced in the area over the years.
Comporta is also great for walking, and the highly protected nearby nature reserve is a good place to immerse yourself in nature. Enjoy spotting huge nesting storks and bright pink flamingos in the river, or for a fun day out, jump on a boat at Troia marina (20 minutes) and spend the afternoon watching the dolphins frolicking in the water. To end the day, head to Cais Palafitico, do Porto da Carrasqueira and enjoy an ice cream on the pier while watching the sunset over the harbour.

Great for a large family!
we stayed in the villa end of April and the weather was amazing. Comporta was not so full with tourists so we could really enjoy the beach and restaurants without the crowds. The host personally welcomed us and gave great recommendations for excellent restaurants. The villa is well equipped with everything you need (to cook, to go to the beach, plenty of toys). The pool was heated so it was really nice for our small children. We would recommend as a good base to explore the area.

Excellent
Ha sido nuestro sexto año en la zona de Comporta. La casa tiene una localización muy buena, muy cerca de Villa Gulato y tiene un precio muy atractivo en comparación con otros de la zona y teniendo piscina y otras comodidades. Al perecer tuvieron un poco de lío con unos inquilinos anteriores y había cosas a mejorar, como las tumbonas de la piscina, el papel del salón o las sillas del comedor. En cualquier caso, una casa amplia, con piscina, a precio económico para la zona y cerca de Comporta.

Tolle Unterkunft
Tolle Unterkunft mit Pool und super Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis! Unterkunft sehr geräumig und top ausgestattet! Sehr schöner Pool! Auch für Babys gut geeignet! Host João war immer erreichbar und stand jederzeit für Fragen zur Verfügung. Sehr guter Service! Strand nicht Flussläufen zu erreichen. Supermarkt weit entfernt (30min). In Summer absolut empfehlenswert! Am Besten für 8 Personen.
