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.

Yellow Breeze Apartment

“We loved the apartment, especially the jacuzzi. Once heated up we were starting and ending our day in the jacuzzi. Apartment is very close to situated to center of all tourist attractions at walking distance. Supermarket is around the corner at less than 2 minute walk.

“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.

Salty Escape

5/5

“Beautiful apartment, in a nice location, good amenities, easily accessible from Lisbon, would stay again. Only had an issue with checking in as the instructions are not clear, same with getting to the pool, not ideal but manageable :)”

Ebony · Sep 2026

Sky Pool Luxury

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

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

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for our group of 6 young men. Location couldn’t have been any better. The apartment was incredibly clean and the air conditioning units kept the apartment at a great temperature. Would 100% recommend Portugal Active”

Fergus · Aug 2026

Blue Tile Hideaway

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

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
