HOW IT WORKS

Three steps to your villa.

01

Choose your home

Browse our collection. Filter by destination, size, and style. Every home we manage meets the same operating standard.

02

Tell us what you need

Private chef? Airport transfer? Surf lessons for the kids? Our concierge plans everything before you arrive.

03

We handle every detail

From the moment you land to the moment you leave, our local team is on the ground. You do nothing but enjoy.

THE CONCEPT

Not a hotel. Not a rental. Something better.

Every home we manage is run with the service of a hotel. A dedicated local team handles everything, from the welcome hamper on arrival to a private chef cooking with ingredients from this morning's market. No reception desks. No shared lobbies. Just your home, your pace, your rules.

The privacy of a home

No shared spaces, no schedules. The entire home is exclusively yours.

The service of a five-star hotel

Private chef, in villa spa, concierge, housekeeping, transfers. Every service delivered by our trained, in-house professionals.

A concierge who knows everything

Our team lives in the regions we operate. They know the hidden beaches, the restaurants before they make the guides, the producers who do not advertise.

OUR GEOGRAPHY

Portugal, coast to coast.

From the wild Atlantic shores of the Minho to the sun-drenched cliffs of the Algarve — with the Douro Valley, Lisbon and the Alentejo in between. Every home we manage meets the same standard of quality, service and care.

Minho

Minho

A guide to the Minho: Atlantic towns, the Lima valley and mountain outings, with practical advice on choosing a base.

Porto

Porto

Porto sits in northern Portugal, where the Douro reaches the Atlantic. Porto and Gaia occupy opposite banks; Foz opens your trip to the sea. The wine-growing Douro is a separate stage, with its own base and pace.

Lisbon

Lisbon

Lisbon is the gateway to very different trips. The city sits by the Tagus; Cascais and Estoril open onto the coast; Sintra and Colares add wooded hills and Atlantic scenery. Choose your base first: these places are not adjoining neighbourhoods.

Alentejo

Alentejo

The Alentejo starts with a choice: coast or countryside. Comporta and Carvalhal invite beach days; Ferreira do Alentejo opens onto farming landscapes, olive oil and traditional singing. Évora and Alqueva deserve a separate stage.

Algarve

Algarve

In southern Portugal, the Algarve changes along the coast. Lagos and the west reveal cliffs; the centre brings together different settings; Faro, Olhão and Tavira open onto the Ria Formosa. A well-chosen base beats crossing the region every day.

EXPERIENCES

Your stay is just the beginning.

Private Gastronomy

Private Gastronomy

From a chef's table at home to vineyard tastings in the Douro.

5/5

“What a wonderful experience! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Moledo Front Beach with Sunset Views and Pool. The accommodations were exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy my time in Portugal. The customer service was excellent, with timely communication and prompt responses whenever needed. I especially appreciated the weekly cleaning service, which was such a thoughtful touch and made my extended stay even more enjoyable. The prop”

Moledo Front Beach

4/5

“Overall had a really enjoyable stay here! Please take note of the reviews regarding the noise from the upstairs flat which I assume is also a short term rental. We were woken up a few times with people coming in and what felt like throwing things around the apartment in the middle of the night. There was also nearby construction works during the day with a jackhammer - the hosts were good in attempting to place us elsewhere but only had availability 10km out of the city centre which didn't sui”

Invictus Escape

4/5

“We enjoyed hosting a large group of family and friends at Quinta da Fonte. The surroundings and the grounds are stunning. The views were incredible, especially at sunset/rise, and the accommodations were large, and fit all 20+ of our group well. The team at Portugal Active was kind and helpful and responsive to lots of questions of varying difficulty. But, there are a couple things we would've wanted to know ahead of time to make things less stressful. There is a (fantastic) restaurant on site.”

Fountain Retreat

5/5

“Beautiful place, host were very helpful and responsive. Definitely recommend Portugal active.”

Matthew · Oct 2026

Alvarinho Villa

5/5

“Everything went very well during our stay. We had a great experience and left happy. Thank you for hosting us!”

Claritza · Oct 2026

Yellow Breeze Apartment

1/5

“The biggest problem was the extremely loud construction noise starting at 8 AM every morning. It was practically impossible to stay in the apartment during the day. This serious disturbance was never disclosed before booking. Upon arrival, we also couldn't open the door with the keys provided and waited an hour for assistance. The lock required a special trick that was never explained. A previous guest had reported the same issue. A faulty bathroom light caused further inconvenience. We reque”

Ravi · Oct 2026

Blue Tile Hideaway

3/5

“The check in was awful. We arived at night, within the check in time. But we couldn't get inside because the lock was stuck (which later we found it wasn't the first time it happened). The host didn't respond to messages and their phone number didn't receive calls so we were forced to find a hostel for the night. They refunded the first night value though”

Pedro · Oct 2026

Sky Pool Luxury

3/5

“Peaceful and nice villa but the amenities like the shower arr not super modern”

Mehdi · Sep 2026

Hábitos Lodge

5/5

“Place was great for our 7 person offsite! Accurate description. Comfortable house and everything you need to work for a few days.”

Josh · Sep 2026

Beach Farm

5/5

“Absolutely amazing stay at this beautiful beach house in Viana! The location was perfect, with stunning views, easy access to the beach, and everything we could have asked for to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. The house was beautiful, spotless, spacious, and extremely well equipped. You can tell the hosts put a lot of thought into making guests feel welcome. Waking up here and enjoying the views was definitely a highlight of our trip. The hosts were incredibly friendly, helpful, and r”

Ryan · Sep 2026

Salty Escape

5/5

“The house was stunning and saved our vacation when we booked it last minute so we could leave a noisy ecoresort. The location is peaceful but accessible to so many restaurants and activities. I also like that it was professionally managed.”

Lisa · Sep 2026

Stars View

5/5

“We loved the house! Will be back again.”

Petar · Sep 2026

Carcavelos Manor House

5/5

“A great, large house for anyone looking to enjoy the local beaches with their family and friends. Thanks for a lovely stay.”

Lauren · Sep 2026

Coastal Horizon

5/5

“Wonderful location for a family reunion. We had a great time in the self-contained compound. Kids had pool and toys to entertain themselves for hours and adults also enjoyed quality time in mixing areas on the grounds. Overall a great find in a special town.”

Francis · Aug 2026

Lima River Houses

5/5

“If you're in Viana do Castello for surfing, wing foiling, or just the beach, this location is perfectly convenient. Walk to the beach and local restaurants. I liked how the apartment is split onto two levels: living and sleeping. Unfortunately, the WiFi didn't extend down to the sleeping level. I'm sure the hosts will fix this.”

Michael · Aug 2026

Estuary View Duplex

5/5

“Awesome location and great apartment. It was very clean and cozy. There are three bedrooms downstairs and one is without windows. Each has bathroom which gives you privacy and comfort. The complex the apartment is located in has a shared game and activities space but lack the equipment to play games. The views and beaches around are fantastic- highly recommend.”

Bartosz · Aug 2026

Sunset Cliffs

5/5

“The house and surrounding area are beautiful and so peaceful. The house itself is lovely, comfortable, and a great place to relax. The pool was amazing and so refreshing during the hot Alentejo days. We really loved our stay and would definitely come back.”

Kendall · Aug 2026

Alentejo Rural Farmhouse

4/5

“The house is situated in a stunning location overlooking the Atlantic with a terrace that looks straight out to sea. In the evenings, you will be treated to displays of glowworms and the odd shooting star whizzing by overhead. The house itself is very comfortable and in pristine condition. I would recommend it to anyone in love with either Viana do Castelo or Caminha as a convenient base. Or, to those who enjoy hiking along the coast down stretches of the Caminho or enjoy the clean and laidback ”

Eliot · Aug 2026

Lighthouse View

5/5

“Charming and spacious house with a gorgeous and huge garden. The pool and the tennis court were very good as well. Very quiet area but at walking distance to a big supermarket and to a snack bar.”

Sonia · Aug 2026

Abreu Retreat Palace

5/5

“Spacious with huge garden surroundings. 3 big bedrooms a large kitchen, places to sit outside, a great pool, bbq and jacuzzi 😀”
