Set on a hectare of idyllic rural land and just 300 metres from breathtaking ocean cliffs in Southwest Alentejo lies Casa Vicentina - a surf lover's paradise with minimalist and artisanal interiors. Originally a traditional taipa house, this gem has been renovated by Luis Pereira Miguel and decorated by Maria José Sacchetti, who artfully merged traditional local craftsmanship with modern interior. Featured in the visual travel guide Surf & Stay, this charming property includes a main house and two studio apartments, making it a perfect base for intimate retreats as well as group getaways into the wilderness of the Vicentina Natural Park.

The house, surrounded by wild fauna and flora, offers peace and privacy, with several trees, including a fig tree near the house, providing a cosy spot for outdoor dining and relaxation. Just a five-minute walk away, the Atlantic Ocean reveals the dramatic cliffs of Costa Vicentina and the wild beach Praia da Quebrada, with endless blue horizons and breathtaking views. The surrounding countryside is filled with rolling hills, winding roads and nature-rich landscape, making driving to the house particularly special. The property is positioned between Odeceixe Beach, one of the area’s most beautiful and closest beaches, and Vale dos Homens Beach, known for its unique charm. 

Casa Vicentina is oriented east-west and designed with large picture frame windows, ensuring sunlight from dawn until dusk as well as views of the surrounding land. Inside, you will find four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, one kitchen, and two kitchenettes. The living areas are open and spacious, with a mezzanine providing extra room. Storage is ample, with built-in cabinets and a pantry. The high ceilings and traditional Portuguese finishes on the walls and roof add to the home's charm, showcasing the minimalist and tasteful design crafted by Luis Pereira Miguel from the PM architectural bureau—an example of rare design otherwise difficult to find in the area. The original adobe structure, white walls, and generous openings to the outdoors create a relaxing and airy feel within the house.

The Vicentina Coast Natural Park is rich with unique flora and fauna. Stretching along the Atlantic coast, it features some of the most beautiful beaches in Portugal, such as Praia da Arrifana, Praia do Amado, and Praia da Bordeira known for their golden sands, clear waters, and excellent surfing conditions. These beaches are often less crowded than those in the more touristy parts of the Algarve, providing a tranquil escape and an ideal destination for nature lovers, surfers and hikers. Despite its secluded feel, Casa Vicentina is conveniently accessible, being 2 hours and 40 minutes from Lisbon's Humberto Delgado Airport and 1 hour and 20 minutes from Faro Airport. The nearby town of Aljezur is located only 5 minutes drive from the house while Lagos and Sagres are within a 30-minute drive.
