Rice fields and tiled floors stretch out in Technicolor shades at this rustic-chic retreat near Comporta. Nestled into a garden where cacti grow next to pines, the villa uses unexpected pairings on the inside, too, with ’70s-inspired accents against contemporary architecture. Walk into Lagoa Formosa and drive past rice fields and pine forests to the sandy stretch of Carvalhal Beach.

Revel in the quiet of the countryside from a sunny back terrace with a swimming pool, plenty of loungers, and alfresco dining for 10. When the sun goes down, cozy up inside around the wood-burning fireplace.

The brick fireplace and a farmhouse-style wood-beamed ceiling anchor the living room, while oversized windows and white walls make it feel bright and modern. Step through sliding doors to the outdoor dining area or walk through to the open-plan dining room and fully equipped kitchen, whose blue-and-orange tiled floors nod to the coastal colors of the sea and sand. Couples can sneak away to a bedroom with its own entrance and terrace for more privacy.

It’s less than a 10-minute walk from the villa to the town of Lagoa Formosa, and less than a 5-minute drive to Carvalhal, where you can pick up picnic supplies for a day at the town’s broad sandy beach. Find more sand dunes and waves at Pego and Praia dos Brejos beaches, both 10 minutes or less by car.
