The master suite on the first floor offers a slice of indulgence, with a large private terrace that overlooks the infinity swimming pool and a spacious bathroom with panoramic views across the countryside. In fact, every bedroom in the villa boasts its own secluded outdoor sitting area, perfect for those morning coffees, or quiet moments of reflection, reading your book and easing into the relaxed holiday mode.
On the ground floor, the bright, open living space opens out onto the terrace and swimming pool, so you can meander between the indoor and outdoors with ease. Olive trees, Mediterranean shrubs and aromatic herbs frame the long infinity swimming pool and terraces, scenting the outdoor space with lavender and rosemary. South-facing, the light across the terrace is fantastic, though as night draws in, the gardens and terraces are floodlit, so you can continue barbecues and al-fresco dining long into the evenings, soaking in every minute of the holiday!

Outdoor Pursuit & Activities
Villa Mize is surrounded by lush pine forests in the rural hamlet of Muda, located between Comporta village and Grandola. The hamlet is less than a twenty-minute drive from Comporta and roughly eighty minutes from Lisbon. Whilst Comporta and Lisbon are overflowing with charm and vibrancy, Muda offers the tranquillity of tall pines and ancient cork trees, so you can enjoy the best of both. The area becomes increasingly popular year after year, with visitors embracing the outdoors with horse riding, surfing lessons, yoga, boating, sailing, wildlife watching and much more. Whilst the beach is not on your doorstep; it can be reached in minutes. In one direction you can visit the beaches of Comporta, Pego, Carvalhal and Troia. The other way is you can visit the beaches of Melides, Santo Andre, Porto Covo and Sines.
Comporta is a charming village located at the base of the Troia peninsula and at the side of the Sado estuary. The history of the village goes back to the Roman Empire, and Comporta is still a hive of agricultural production with rice fields and vineyards producing some fine white, red and rose wines. For golf lovers, Comporta is a dream; the fantastic Comporta Dunes course was designed by David McLay Kidd within a stunning terrain of pine forest and sand dunes close to Pego beach. Troia championship golf course is also nearby, designed by the famous golf architect Robert Trent Jones. If golf isn’t your thing, there are plenty of other activities and pursuits that you can involve with, including horse riding, fishing, hunting, sailing, bird watching and cycling. Comporta beach is just a ten-minute walk from Comporta village, so you can combine the two for a fabulous day out with your family and friends.
Of course, being this close to the vibrant, cosmopolitan city of Lisbon, a day trip is a must for your holiday. A foodie haven, there are so many options, from fine-dining restaurants to the renowned Time Out Market and the incredible Portuguese custard tarts. There is so much to see and do, including its Oceanarium, its zoo, its pretty azulejos, its markets, its fabulous wine bars, its historic monuments, its lovely waterfront, and its fabulous squares, just to name a few!

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!
