River & Rice Fields

River & Rice Fields: Setúbal

Among the picture-perfect rice fields and close to the River Sado, you’ll find this truly unique home. Comprising three fisherman-style huts, don’t let the rustic exterior deceive you – a luxurious living experience awaits inside.

Showcasing plenty of country charm and cosy touches, this home is perfect for family life. Boasting multiple lounge areas, outdoor seating and even a treehouse, there's plenty of space to spread out and relax.

When you do fancy a day out, explore the local nature spots of Comporta, or jump in the car and head to Praia da Comporta to enjoy the turquoise waters and white sand – it's just over 4km away. When you return, rustle up a fresh seafood dinner on the barbecue, and eat together alfresco under the pergola with a bottle of Portuguese wine. Don’t feel like cooking? Hire a private chef for the evening and relax while tasting some of the local delicacies of northwest Portugal.

Post-dinner, retire to the fire pit to toast marshmallows and watch the sunset over the fields, or indulge in an evening swim in the private swimming pool.
