Praia Vista House

About this property

With sweeping views over sun-dappled hills and the shimmer of the Atlantic on the horizon, Praia Vista House offers a striking modern retreat just moments from Portugal’s most picturesque coastline. Surrounded by the wild beauty of the Arrábida Natural Park and close to the village of Azoia, this sleek single-storey home is made for guests who crave both comfort and a connection to nature.

The house itself is beautifully balanced. Floor-to-ceiling glass draws the outdoors in, flooding the open-plan living and dining area with natural light. A soft charcoal sofa sits opposite full-length windows, offering a perfect spot to unwind after days at the beach. Whether you’re cooking up something fresh in the well-equipped kitchen or sharing meals around the dining table, the vibe here is sociable, open and relaxed.

Three bedrooms sleep up to six guests in total comfort, with crisp white linens, wooden floors and thoughtful lighting throughout. The master suite features a king-sized bed, television and its own private bathroom with a bathtub, while the additional rooms, one with a double bed and one with a trundle, make this a practical and flexible base for families or small groups. A sofa bed in the lounge adds optional sleeping space for two more guests.

Outside, the villa invites easy days in the sun. The heated pool is the centrepiece, with loungers perfectly placed for catching the light. A shaded dining area, charcoal barbecue and foosball table ensure that outdoor living is just as enjoyable as time inside. The large lawn offers room to play, picnic or simply sit back and soak in the peaceful scenery.

From Praia Vista House, the unspoilt beach of Ribeira do Cavalo, considered one of the most beautiful in Portugal, is just minutes away, while iconic coastal spots such as Praia do Meco, Lagoa de Albufeira and Portinho da Arrábida are all within a short drive. Whether you're hiking, swimming or stargazing from the terrace, this is a home where nature and comfort meet in harmony.

Praia Vista House is set in the small village of Azoia, a peaceful enclave near Sesimbra where forested hills meet sea-swept cliffs, and time seems to slow to match the rhythm of the tides. Surrounded by nature and sitting between Arrábida Natural Park and Cape Espichel, this location offers a rare balance of tranquillity and adventure.

One of the area’s greatest treasures is the nearby beach of Ribeira do Cavalo. Just minutes from the villa, this hidden cove can be reached by foot or boat and offers pristine sand, dramatic cliffs and crystalline turquoise waters. Often named among Portugal’s most beautiful beaches, it remains blissfully wild and unspoilt, perfect for swimming, sunbathing or simply soaking in the view.

Further along the coast, Praia do Meco is just 7km away, offering a wider stretch of beach with beach bars, surf-friendly waves and space to unwind. Families may prefer the calm shallows of Lagoa de Albufeira, while Portinho da Arrábida, a protected cove 23km from the house, offers snorkelling, kayaking and crystal-clear waters ideal for a day of adventure.

For everyday essentials, a supermarket is just 5km away, with a restaurant even closer at 500m, ideal for evening strolls and casual dining. The nearby town of Sesimbra is well worth exploring, with its historic castle, working fishing port and waterfront promenade. You’ll also find fresh seafood markets, local bakeries and welcoming tavernas throughout the region.

Nature lovers will feel completely at home here. The Arrábida Natural Park is a haven of walking trails, vineyards and hidden viewpoints, while Cape Espichel’s dramatic cliffs and lighthouse offer panoramic views and a taste of Portugal’s maritime heritage.

Despite its serene setting, Praia Vista House is just 45km from Lisbon, making it perfectly placed for a day trip to the capital. Explore the city’s cobbled streets, sample its renowned cuisine, or take in views from the miradouros before heading back to your peaceful retreat in time for sunset.
