The Terrace

The Terrace: Setúbal

Escape to one of Lisbon’s exclusive coastal resorts, Aroeira. Just over 13 miles from the city but feeling like a world away, this villa offers the best of both worlds. And with Fonte da Telha beach just a short drive away, it’s a wonderful find. It’s not the most traditional or characteristic villa, but if you’re looking for a sunny getaway then this place has everything you need. It ticks the boxes for a great location, a pool, a barbecue, and a charming eating area. There are several houses around, so it doesn’t feel the most private – however, the high fence provides a level of comfort.

Home truths:
*There's parking for up to two cars on the driveway here.
*The third bedroom has a pull-out bed to accommodate two guests.
*Your host can provide a cot and high chair for the little ones for free.
*The home is somewhat overlooked by the building opposite. There's a chance you might see a neighbour or two through the window, so it doesn't feel completely private.
*If you're travelling by plane, Lisbon Airport is just under 19 miles away.
