Just a five-minute walk from the soft sands of Carvalhal Beach (Alentejo), you will find Casa Mounette: a stylish and relaxed beach house designed by French-Portuguese architects Jacques Grange and Nuno Lopes. It is a modern tribute to the region’s traditional fishermen’s cottages: white pitched roofs, blue accents, reed, wood, and handmade tiles. A place where simplicity, design, and the quintessential Comporta lifestyle come together.

Inside, the house feels bright, warm, and inviting. The high ceiling, Portuguese ceramics, wicker furniture, blue tones, and natural materials create a refined, gentle atmosphere. The open living room with fireplace flows into the fully equipped kitchen; three king-size bedrooms – one of which has an en-suite bathroom – are decorated with calm colours, bamboo details, and crisp white textiles. Everything exudes relaxed, elegant beach vibes.

Outside is designed for peaceful days in the sun. The fully enclosed garden has two terraces for breakfast and dinner, a large lounge bed in the shade of the pergola, white oleanders and palm trees – and a plunge pool that is exactly what you need on warm days. It is an intimate oasis close to the sea, where you can unwind in complete tranquillity.

The surroundings offer everything for a carefree beach holiday: surf lessons, beach clubs, great restaurants, nature reserves, and the lively village of Carvalhal with cafés, design shops, and good dining spots just a ten-minute walk away.
