 Local Arrabida Beach | Location - Portinho de Arrabida - Azeitao - Portugal
The location is what makes this enchanting house so special, set above cliff tops plunging into the sea, 200m from the beach. Soak in the view, whether from inside through large picture windows, from its private terraces, from the magnificently restored swimming pool... To the front is the sea, the beautiful bay of Portinho de Arrabida, and beyond to where the Sado River meets the Atlantic Ocean. Cruisers, fishing boats and yachts pass as if at your feet below the cliffs. To your back are the imposing mountains of the Arrabida National Park, and the mystical Convent of Arrabida with its five towers. The light is ever-changing, with spectacular sunsets. Starry nights on the terrace are magical; the villa owes its name to these nights, "Villa Little Star" in Portuguese. Beaches
1km away is one of the most beautiful beaches in Portugal, ‘Portinho de Arrabida’.... | ... A sheltered cove of white sand with a backdrop of pine trees, its quiet crystal clear waters are perfect for swimming and perfect for children, and are popular with divers for their colourful underwater life. Within walking distance from the villa, steps take you to the small secluded beach of Alportuche. Other sandy coves lie at the foot of the limestone cliffs. Praia de Figuerinha offers sport fishing, windsurfing, and sailing and has vast sand banks at low tide. |
Arrabida Mountains
The villa is one of few in the natural park of Arrabida, established to protect the beautiful landscape and rich variety of wildlife, including eagles, wildcats and badgers. The name Arrabida originates from the Arabic 'place of prayer'. The mountains are ideal for walks, and organized excursions can be organised with the local nature tour companies. Sport
Nautical sports galore: for diving, the local beach is one of the most interesting in Portugal with its grottos and abundant marine life. Sailing, windsurfing, canoeing and rowing can all be enjoyed in the safe bay. In the National Park, mountain biking, fauna tours, and bird watching are organised. Orienteering, cycling tours, riding and aerial sports are available. | | Golf: Portugal is a paradise where the golfer can play almost every day of the year. Quinta do Peru Golf is a short drive away and other courses are nearby. |
