Ferienhaus Casa do Pego

We had a fan­tastic time at Casa do Pego.
The house met all of our expec­ta­tions. The archi­tecture is extra­or­dinary, offering a unique living expe­rience. It is bright and airy, and you can always ensure privacy with the available blinds. It has a “Zen” feel to it.
The house is in a won­derful location, just a few metres from the sea. You can hear the surf. The view from the large, floor-to-ceiling windows facing north over­looks dune vege­tation, vege­table fields and rice paddies. During our stay here in September/October, a won­derful tran­quility sur­rounded us. It was very medi­tative and perfect for unwinding.
The owner, Andre, wel­comed us on site and showed us around. He was always available to answer our ques­tions and found quick, proper solu­tions.
We found the house to be very clean. During our stay, a very good, tho­rough cleaner came several times. The towels and bedding are of a very high quality.
The kitchen is excel­lently equipped. You can cook yourself a good dinner or go to one of the ter­rific restau­rants nearby
There are also plenty of oppor­tu­nities for outdoor acti­vities, such as jogging, cycling, yoga, horse riding and golf.
You should also have a car to explore the sur­rounding area. It’s worth it!

We had a truly unfor­gettable stay at this beau­tiful house in Com­porta. The archi­tecture is abso­lutely stunning. The house is modern, elegant, and per­fectly inte­grated into the natural sur­roun­dings. Every detail of the design reflects quality and care, making the home both stylish and com­for­table.

One of the high­lights is its unbeatable location: just a very short walk to Pego Beach, one of the most beau­tiful and relaxing spots in the area. It made our days feel effort­lessly serene, with the beach right at our doorstep.

We were also warmly wel­comed by the owner, André, who made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. His hos­pi­tality was excep­tional and greatly enhanced our expe­rience.

Highly recom­mended for anyone looking for a peaceful and stylish retreat by the sea.

We were in Casa do Pego in late May-June. This was our second time. In this European paradise — Com­porta — Casa do Pego is a jewel. For its location, inte­grated into nature and very close to the beach, the house is unbeatable. Beau­tifully designed, tas­tefully fur­nished and very func­tional. The owner, André, is always available to give advice when needed. We believe that one cannot have it much better than that. We look forward to our next holiday in Com­porta, where one finds some of Portugal’s best restau­rants and a unique and stunning nature!

We had a won­derful week with our family at the Casa do Pego in early July 2025. The house is so pleasant, an example of how really good archi­tecture and design can affect your entire mood for the better. Ever­y­thing about the pro­perty was of the highest quality, yet simple and laid back; and the beach nearby stunning. You walk a few minutes from the con­cession area and can count on being alone — zero people — for hours; and on swimming in perfect, refreshing water. We’d give the expe­rience a ten out of ten rating, and are gra­teful to Andre for being an attentive host.

We stayed in the beginning of March and had the most pleasant weather. We were full of expec­ta­tions before our stay at Casa do Pego. In reality — the house, ambience, sur­roun­dings, and location exceeded our expec­ta­tions by far. We truly enjoyed the house, the grounds and the ter­rasse to a degree we did not think pos­sible — the house itself had a calming effect on us and we left a bit lighter than when we arrived. Do not worry about comfort — the house has all you will need; the kitchen is the best equipped in any house we have ever rented. All rooms are done in the best pos­sible taste and even the most dis­cerning tra­veler will be satisfied. On top, Andre is a gra­cious and generous host. I highly recommend to book before your neighbor! We will be back — for sure!

Really lovely place not far from the beach and great restau­rants around. Very com­for­table and calmly. We had a great stay and would love to come back!

My husband and I spent a blissful week at Casa do Pego in late Sep­tember 2020. The house is abso­lutely stunning — so airy and spa­cious but also incre­dibly com­for­table. The rooftop pool is spec­ta­cular. We loved exploring the local beaches and were spoilt for choice with the top class beach restau­rants at Pego, Car­valhal and Com­porta beaches — Cava­larica in Com­porta village was a high­light. Andre was a fan­tastic host — the whole booking process was very smooth and any ques­tions we had were ans­wered swiftly. Casa do Pego is an abso­lutely first class holiday rental which I hope we’ll be able to visit again soon.

We (family of five) just spent two weeks of summer vacation end of July / early August at Casa do Pego. We truly enjoyed it! Here are the key high­lights:
— The house: as stunning as on the photos, tas­tefully fur­nished and equipped with ever­y­thing you need.
— The location: just perfect! Beau­tiful, quiet sur­rounding. And it’s just a 5mins walk to the beach (where you have ever­y­thing you need from sun beds / shades, beach bar, Restaurant Sal, etc.) or a 5–10mins drive to tons of other great restau­rants
— The area: great! Gor­geous land­scape, kilo­meters of white untapped beach, no mass tourism, beau­tiful small vil­lages, totally relaxed atmo­sphere and — if you need more vibe — per­fectly suited for a day-trip or two to Lisbon
— The host: as attentive, responsive and helpful as one can be! Thanks for ever­y­thing Andre!

We have just returned from a fabulous week at Casa do Pego. The house is beau­tifully designed and deco­rated. Managing to be stylish and yet extremely com­for­table. We par­ti­cu­larly loved the breezy rooftop pool and sipping sun­downers on the deck over­looking the fields. Andre kindly orga­nised rental bikes which we used all week to get around, it’s just a short few minutes ride to Pego beach which is breath­taking. We also rode to the beach at Car­valhal and around town. Imagine Surf school at Pego was superb. Andre’s many restaurant recom­men­da­tions were excellent — we tried several and all were good . We par­ti­cu­larly enjoyed Cava­larica in Com­porta com­bined with a walk around the lovely shops there. Sublime’s burgers were a hit with the children. Sunset beach hor­ser­iding is not to be missed. Huge thanks to Andre and his family, we had a really won­derful and much needed holiday at his beau­tiful and fabu­lously located home.

Just spent a great week, family of 4, in the midst of the virus crisis. This was our second time in Com­porta (great vibes won­derful restau­rants and beaches). The villa is perfect for a small group; beau­tifully designed, easy living, great location.….. We alter­nated our days between a walk to Pego Beach (Sal), a short bike ride to Car­valhal Beach (the new Sublime beach Club), and a 15 min drive to Com­porta Beach (Com­porta Cafe). Could easily have made it 2 weeks. Andre is a bril­liant owner/host. Given the virus it was touch and go if we could go from the UK and Andre and I were in daily contact and he showed a very con­siderate and fle­xible attitude as we faced pos­sible can­cel­lation. In the end we went, felt far safer than in the UK, ever­y­where in this region showed so much respect to the rules and given the low rate of infection in Alentejo it is incre­dibly baffling as to why the UK still has it on the red list (as of today). So overall this is a special place, the Com­porta vibe is special, low key but classy; our 21 & 17 year old ‘London’ daughters want to go back next year. Rent a couple of bikes via Andre, take his restaurant recom­men­da­tions, hire a con­ver­tible, pack light, eat well and get a great tan !!!

My wife and I, with our two teen­agers, recently spent a won­derful week at Casa do Pego. The house is as stunning as depicted in the pho­to­graphs, boldly Modern with impec­cable interior design, while remaining extremely com­for­table and well con­nected to nature. Andre was an ideal host, com­mu­ni­cative and fle­xible, and full of useful recom­men­da­tions. In February the area was quiet, but several excellent restau­rants and shops were open and there was much to explore. We’d gladly return!

A truly stunning house in a unique location. We stayed for a week in Sep­tember with our two grown up kids and it was perfect in every way. A walk to the beach each day for swimming and chilling out, a salty skinned return walk after a cold beer at the beach bar, a stop at the fig tree to pick some for breakfast. Into the gor­geous house with a plunge in the pool and a final relax on the roof before cooking supper in the kitchen sur­rounded by the excep­tional archi­tec­tural vision that is this house. Per­fection. We will be back.

Tho­roughly enjoyed our week at Casa do Pego. The home is exactly as it looks in pic­tures. It is perfect for 4–6 people. Andre and the very hos­pi­table team he has to look after you make your stay enjoyable and relaxing — from Chef Sandra to the house­keeping to the fri­endly gar­dener that helped fix our mountain bike set­tings to the amazing folks at Com­porta WOW who set up amazing secret beach picnic for us. It is a lovely area just a con­ve­nient 1.5 hours away from Lisbon and is the perfect place for a real timeout from the world. I highly recommend Casa do Pego for a week, or more, detoxing in and around Com­porta. Thank you for having us !

It’s taken me a while to find a free week. We had a won­derful time — the house is just as it looks and is even better to stay in — plenty of room to find a bit of space — relax by the pool — cook…Andre arranged cabs and bikes and was there to meet us. Having bikes a must if you want to explore the rice fields — we cycled to Com­porta — to the beach — and back — really great. Riding on the beach also a massive high­light if you ride — or even if you don’t.

We have driven past Casa do Pego for the past two years and always admired its beau­tiful archi­tecture. Finally, this year we managed to stay. The house has a lovely design that makes for a calm and relaxing stay. It is moments from the beach and Andre is a very accom­mo­dating host. Thank you for having us.

Casa do Pego is a really out­standing house and place. We spent a won­derful week. It’s really close to the beach, never crowded.
It’s a really relaxing place to be. And always quiet. Many things to do around. The owner has been very fri­endly and replied to all ques­tions or mes­sages in a very reasonable time. Ever­y­thing was perfect!

We tho­roughly enjoyed our stay at Casa do Pego. The home is beau­tifully appointed, and yet very com­for­table. Its layout is perfect for a small group or family. The location of the home is perfect as well. It situated within walking distance to the beach and walking/biking distance to the lovely village of Car­valhal. While at Casa do Pego, we enjoyed a deli­cious Por­tu­guese dinner pre­pared by a private chef recom­mended by the home owners. We also booked a private yoga lesson on the deck of the home. The home owners were immensely attentive and accom­mo­dating. They helped arrange bike rentals for us, pro­vided us with excellent recom­men­da­tions and showed us the warm hos­pi­tality for which the Por­tu­guese are known. Ever­y­thing was abso­lutely perfect.

Our family (5 people) had an excellent stay at Casa do Pego. For us the house was perfect to relax and explore the area. It offers so many nice areas to sit and enjoy the views, also it is really well equipped.
We had rented bikes, which was an ideal way to get around. The kids and my husband went surfing at Car­vahal, great waves. Also June is pro­bably the best time, early season, not many tou­rists and easy to get a table for dinner. We have been to many places in Por­tugal, but this area is special and Casa do Pego is out­standing.

Casa do Pego and the Region clearly met our expec­ta­tions. The house, the beach, which we basi­cally had for our­selves, the sur­roun­dings, and the wil­derness is perfect for a family vacation. We enjoyed it a lot and would love to come back. Also, com­mu­ni­cation with the landlord and their hos­pi­tality and respon­si­veness was great. Thanks a lot for a won­derful time.

Casa do Pego is a place to spend as a family. A cozy place, simple but full of details. The fri­end­liness of the owner in being aware that we spent a fan­tastic week giving us infor­mation about restau­rants and beaches where we app­re­ciate.
The location of the house is incre­dible, walking to the beach or bike.
In short Casa do Pego delivers a space of family union in a natural envi­ronment, simple and har­mo­nious. It is a place to return.

Wir haben im November eine wun­der­volle Zeit im Casa do Pego ver­bracht. Das Haus läßt keine Wünsche offen. Uns gefiel einfach alles, ange­fangen von der Archi­tektur bis zur lie­be­vollen Ein­richtung, die Weit­läu­figkeit und Hel­ligkeit des Hauses, die Wärme und Gemütlichkeit…und zuletzt die Lage an einem atem­be­rau­benden Strand. Die Umgebung mit tollen Restau­rants und einem ein­zig­ar­tigem Fein­kost­laden hat alles perfekt abge­rundet.
Wir haben uns von Anfang an wohl gefühlt, was sicher auch an der herz­lichen Begrüßung gelegen hat. Vielen Dank dafür!!

My wife and I spent a won­derful week at Casa do Pego this October and had a good and very relaxing time in Por­tugal. We felt at home at once. The house, the garden and the pool were just great, modern and very clean! The support of the owner (nearly 24/7!), Andre, before and during our stay was very helpful. His sug­ges­tions con­cerning good restau­rants and acti­vities were very app­re­ciated. We try to come again with the whole family… Adrian/Zug/Switzerland

We stayed with five people (three adults, two kids) at the house this October. Right when we walked through the door we felt welcome and com­for­table. The place has a very per­sonal touch and per­so­nally I fell in love with the atrium-style inner cour­tyard that is the soul of this house. You live in one big space and the family can spread out in various rooms or next to the rooftop pool yet at the same time there is a sense you really SHARE this space.
In addition, Andre is pro­bably the most wel­coming and forth­coming host we ever had. Very helpful at all times and you can sense that he cares for this pro­perty and his guests.

We will come back!

Wir waren im Sep­tember in diesem wun­der­schönen Haus, in traum­hafter Lage und haben die Tage dort sehr genossen. Die Ein­richtung ist lie­bevoll bis ins kleinste Detail.
Man kommt an und fühlt sich zuhause. Es fehlt an Nichts, es wurde einfach an alles gedacht.
Die Tipps von Andre für Ein­käufe, Unter­neh­mungen und leckeres Essen waren Gold wert und haben die Tage in Caso do Pego perfekt abge­rundet.
Das Caso do Pego bietet alles für eine unver­gleichlich schöne Auszeit in diesem tollen Land. Wir kommen sicher wieder.

We stayed during May at this great house. It sur­passed our expec­ta­tions. There is some­thing incre­dibly relaxing about the design. The many sliding glass doors and sliding wooden screens mean that you can open the spaces up in various ways through the day, to great effect.
Others have already com­mented on how wel­coming Andre is. He also helped us with various points before we arrived.
The Com­porta area is beau­tiful, and the beach is mind-blowing. It’s also easy to take a trip into Lisbon.
Thanks for being a great host Andre!

We had a won­derful week in Com­porta in the Casa do Pego. Great house, great people to support and a won­derful region.

We will come back!

We stayed at Casa Do Pego for 10 days in April. Truly lovely villa with stunning design and ever­y­thing pro­vided. Pool/deck at pro­perty and beeches are of course lovely, but the imme­diate area is also a fasci­nating habitat affording some great bird and wildlife wat­ching.

Andre the owner is very helpful and is able to provide all the advice and recom­men­da­tions you need. The Dolphin wat­ching boat trip was very memo­rable.

Marie:
For the French people I will write in French, le plaisir que nous avons eu de passer Noël 2017 dans cette ravis­sante maison, l’ac­cueil chaleureux de ses propriétaires.Nous gardons un mer­veilleux sou­venir du confort même en hiver au coin du feu le soir, l’ar­chi­tecture et la déco­ration de cette maison sont un plaisir des yeux.
Nous la recom­mandons et espérons trouver une bonne occasion d’y revenir, pourquoi pas en été ?

We stayed end December/beginning of January at Casa do Pego and had a really great time there. The house is awesome, very bright, modern, spa­cious but cozy and fur­nished with great style. We felt at home at once. The kitchen is very well equipped, the bed- & bath­rooms are very com­for­table and the heating works per­fectly. The fire­place adds the little bit of extra of cosiness. Andre is the best host ever met. He well­comes you with great hos­pi­tality and has perfect tips where to shop and eat. Planning to come back soon

Casa do Pego was a beau­tiful modern getaway in a lovely corner of Por­tugal by the sea. Andre was incre­dibly hos­pi­table, and pro­vided lots of great tips about things to do, places to eat, and even pro­vided a high chair and infant bed for our young son. We had a lovely time, and look forward to returning!

We stayed at Casa do Pego for a week, it was a fabulous holiday. Andre and his wife are incre­dibly helpful and attended every request (bikes, cleaner, recom­men­da­tions, beds for kids, you name it!) to ensure our stay was perfect. The house is beyond beau­tiful yet homy, we’ve never stayed at a villa so well equipped, we lite­rally had ever­y­thing we could wish for…bed sheets and towels are in perfect state and the kitchen has more utensils than you can imagine. Our favourite part was the pool though! The house is very well located, a 5‑min walk away from Pego beach (in my opinion the nicest of the three beaches that make up Com­porta), a 5‑min bike ride away from Car­vahal (check out surfing classes) and 20 min away from Com­porta town, filled with lovely stores. Many local restau­rants on the way. Will defi­nitely come back!

We had a couple of lovely days at this stunning place called “Casa do Pego”. We have expe­ri­enced many stylish and well-designed vacation houses before but casa do pego beats ever­y­thing. 

There is so much love in each tiny detail you will dis­cover which makes this house a real place of beauty and com­fortness. We will defi­nitely come back.

Besides, Andre is an amazing host. He arranged ever­y­thing for us in advance to make us feel relaxed and com­for­table. To cut a long story short: We will come back, for sure.

Casa do Pego is a fan­tastic home! Andre greeted us on arrival and left us with an amazing “care” package of local goodies. Super thoughtful!
Location could not have been better — 3 min with bicycle to Pego Beach (which is a nicer beach, less crowded, than Com­porta Beach). The street is the street leading to the beach but very little traffic. The house itself is beau­tiful: very quiet, airy, bright and won­derfully deco­rated in a vintage modern style.Easy flow with beau­tiful cour­tyard in the center of the house. Kitchen has ever­y­thing one would need & more (Nes­presso & cap­puccino frother!), beds are com­for­table, lots of storage space, shower has great pressure, por­table super sounding bose blue­tooth speaker,.…Pool is on the roof with loungers — perfect size for a quick dip. Com­porta town is about 15 min with the car. Sublime Com­porta Hotel 10 min away- great for drinks. We abso­lutely loved it & will come back soon again!! 

Wow — such a fan­tastic holiday house and beau­tiful location — very well looked after by the owner, Andre and his cleaner, Mrs Isabel. We have rented lovely houses in many parts of the world in won­derful loca­tions — and this was one of the best. The beach rivals those in Aus­tralia and New Zealand (our home countries), with the added advantage of a beach bar and fabulous restaurant. Hard to get much better than this!

My husband and I and our two daughters and their partners spent a glo­rious week at Modern By the Sea. The home is abso­lutely perfect. We loved the location as it is a short walk to the beach and if you are more adven­turesome you can follow trails which take you to a beach that is com­pletely unoc­cupied. The food in all the restau­rants that our host recom­mended was superb and we had a chef come and prepare two dinners for us which were the high­light of our trip. I cannot say enough good things about this won­derful jewel.

Been there? Any comments?

Casa do Pego was ever­y­thing we hoped it would be and even more beau­tiful than pic­tured. Open and airy, with beau­tiful views and sunsets, com­for­table, modern and clean, with every amenity. Andre couldn’t have been more gra­cious, the perfect host. He met us when we arrived, walked us through the house, checked in just enough to make sure all was up to par and offer recom­men­da­tions, and even wel­comed us with a bottle of wine and an array of local items from the gourmet shop in town. Nice linens and towels, which were refreshed midweek by the house­keeper. Dar­cilia cooked for us two nights — what a treat! She is an amazing cook and a lovely person too. The sunsets on the front deck are a perfect way to end the day, espe­cially with a glass of wine and chef-pre­pared appe­tizers! She pre­pared grilled fish one night and we requested some­thing dif­ferent the second night. We asked for either shrimp or chicken, and Dar­cilia pre­pared both. I went home with the recipe for her shrimp, now I have to find someone to translate Por­tu­guese so I can attempt to prepare it myself. The roof deck and pool are gor­geous and the local beach was beau­tiful and a short walk from the house. All in all, a very special place to which we hope to return!

Casa do Pego, heaven in Por­tugal. We had a bril­liant time with our family.

We had the great good fortune to stay here for 1 week in April 2017. It is truly stunning. It is a beau­tiful pro­perty in a fabulous location. I have been lucky enough to travel widely over the past 25 years and to have stayed in some nice places. This house would defi­nitely rate amongst my all time favou­rites. If you love great design then you’ll love this place — but it is also very homely and wel­coming. I came away wanting to buy a plot that was for sale nearby with a view to repli­cating the place! If like me, you had never visited this area before, then I would urge you to do so. The beach runs for miles and is pristine. It’s a five star pro­perty in a 5 star location. It also has a five star owner in Andre, who made sure we had ever­y­thing we needed to get the most out of our stay.

We would like to thank Andre and his family for pro­viding a won­derful house in a really beau­tiful area. The archi­tecture and sen­sitive use of mate­rials is har­mo­niously inte­grated with the local context. Our party of 6 had a fan­tastic time. Much thought and care has been expressed in the design and function of the spaces; there are plenty of areas to relax, talk, eat and swim. It feels like you are at home; the atmo­sphere is calm and wel­coming. All of the neces­sities and more are amply pro­vided for which makes for a stress free and relaxing expe­rience.
The local area is blessed with lovely sandy beaches with the bustling and cul­tu­rally inte­resting city of Lisbon just over an hours drive away.
We would recommend Casa do Pego without reser­vation and look forward to spending more time there in the not too distant future.
WB and family.

We adored the thoughtful, open, archi­tecture of this home and had a glo­rious, too-short (5 day) visit to the Com­porta region. Would love to return! Andre was extremely thoughtful and helpful as we pre­pared for our trip and con­tinued to be so during and after our stay. Horse-back riding on the beach in Car­valhal, stand-up padd­le­boarding on the lagoon in Melides, exploring Lisbon and just relaxing by the gor­geous heated rooftop pool — all were divine!

If you ever won­dered why Romans build Atriums: This is where to go to find out. A truly beau­tiful space.

We stayed there at the his­to­ri­cally coldest days in the last 10 years and it was still sen­sa­tional.

Exactly as show in pic­tures, beau­tifully designed in every detail 100% recommend.

We did spend won­derful two weeks in this magical place and expe­ri­enced a perfect harmony of archi­tec­tural design and con­tem­porary art. Andre, the owner, is a won­derful host and even as our arrival date was late on Xmas eve he and his father made the trip from Lisbon to welcome us and did arrange for amen­ities to bridge the next two days where all shops would be closed. I strongly recommend to ask Andre for the chef and I can assure you that Dar­celia and her husband are our new benchmark in regard to quality and making it an unfor­gettable evening that beats every place to go out for dinner. Overall the best well balanced expe­rience we had so far, after many years of enjoying designer gems as vacation homes. And for all seafood lovers — this is heaven on earth!

All our impres­sions from this journey are just pure delight. Andre is always ready to help and knows all the answers.
The house is a dream, we hope to built one alike. The only minus is sound iso­lation between rooms.
The greens on the plot are so tas­tefully sel­ected that you can enjoy them end­lessly. The walk through forest and dunes to Pego beach is admi­rable. The variety of birds is fasci­nating.
The food is perfect. We have 2 times the dinner with Dar­cilia in the villa, everyone was happy. The nearest restaurant Sal we have enjoyed also very much. The souse for tiger prawns is worth trying. Other three restau­rants, that we have visited for dinner – Com­porta café, Ilha and Dinis were also very good.
We were lucky to have only one rainy day. The rest of time we have relished the beach.
For surfers:
It was our first time in Com­porta. The last 5 years we have spent our autumn vacation with kids surfing in Algarve. The surfing was the only thing that we did not manage to organize in Com­porta pro­perly. In Algarve there are a lot of beaches with dif­ferent wind and wave con­di­tions and we always had a pos­si­bility to book a private ins­tructor. In Com­porta there is only one surf school in Car­vahal and it was closed for our week. The next one is in Sines 50 km away and the sur­roun­dings are frus­t­rating indus­trial. The waves on Pego and Car­vahal beaches were quite big and our kids after a few unsuc­cessful attempts stopped trying.
Andrey and Lena, Moscow-Munich

We had a fan­tastic week in the villa, which is very stylish and in a great location a short walk from a very unspoilt beach. Owner Andre was extremely helpful, arranging for a cook to come to the house twice during the week and che­cking in with us during our time there to see if there was any­thing else he could do.

Pool and ups­tairs deck was very com­for­table and the villa is very well fur­nished with a com­pre­hen­sively stocked kitchen, com­for­table lounge etc.

The sur­rounding area has some great local restau­rants with the freshest fish and seafood. We ate at Sal which is the only restaurant within walking distance however I wouldn’t recommend it, it was the only dis­ap­pointing meal we had.

We’ve just returned from a one week stay at Caso do Pego with 6 friends and we had a truly won­derful time!

Firstly let me mention the house itself which is very beau­tiful and deco­rated with such a high taste, my friends and I would love to own such a fan­tastic home. The light, the space… it’s perfect. The pool and sun bathing roof was of course a high­light, as was morning coffee on the front deck. We cooked meals and bbq’s and gene­rally made it our own for the week.

Andre and family are the perfect hosts, always on hand imme­diately if we had ques­tions and super helpful in the run up to the holiday.

The beach, Praia do Pego, is 400 meters from the house and one of the most beau­tiful beaches I’ve ever seen; white sand, very big and in early Sep­tember it was quiet. Really a paradise. On this beach is Restaurant Sal, your typical beach seafood restaurant… we found the food slightly over priced but it was all very nice and fresh with a really relaxed vibe. They also have a little beach bar so that you can stay hydrated throughout the day and evening!

For the rest Com­porta itself (around 15 minute drive away) is lovely for a morning coffee, a bit of people wat­ching and a stroll around the bou­tiques. Just next to that is Praia do Com­porta, the other beach that we visited, we made the day of it with loungers and a long lunch at Cafe Com­porta which I highly recommend!

If you want to really relax and enjoy some natural beauty with a touch of luxury this is the place for you!

Casa do Pego was the perfect vacation.

The house itself is beau­tiful- modern, airy, with excellent design sen­si­bility- but it is also prac­tical. We were three couples sharing the house, and the layout allowed us to very com­for­tably spend time tog­ether or do our own thing. The rooftop deck and pool were incre­dible- because it was so inviting, we used the pool at Casa do Pego more than we ever have at any hotel!

The location couldn’t be better. It is a very short walk to the beau­tiful Pego beach (only one house is closer!) and the great beach bars and restaurant there.

The best part of Casa do Pego, though, is the owner. Andre could not have been more helpful- he arranged cooks to make breakfast each morning (and a few dinners in), bike rental, made restaurant reser­va­tions for our first night. He truly made it feel like we were being wel­comed into his home- which I suppose we were!

We will go back again as soon as we can.

Our stay at Casa Do Pego lived up to every bit of our anti­ci­pation. So much has been said about Andre and the respon­si­venes and resources he pro­vides- and none of it is enough to capture how helpful he is! His recom­men­da­tions and accom­mo­da­tions were so helpful with planning, and since the area is truly still off the beaten path (blissfully) many of his tips would be missed by the un-initiated visitor. This in one of the things we loved most about Car­valhal and Com­porta- it was full of hidden secrets and small adven­tures. With only one week in Por­tugal, we devoted almost our entire stay to exploring the beau­tiful, intri­guing and unique areas and getting to know the people who live or visit here. The com­bi­nation of rural, local, rustic ele­ments (farming tractors, fisherman huts, small mer­cados, local cafes) and sophisti­cated, luxu­rious fea­tures (restau­rants, bou­tiques, beau­tiful homes) was like nowhere we have been.

The home and spe­cific location speak for them­selves- it was such a treat to be sur­rounded by the relaxed, chic feel of the home, and the peace and safety of the neigh­borhood was com­forting. The beaches them­selves you have to see to believe.

The ultimate vacation for our active family with three teenage daughters. Not to be missed: Donna Bia, Sal­burger (roadside “food truck”), Com­porta Cafe snack hut, biking to the beach and Car­valhal, hor­seback riding, yoga shala, dolphin tour.

Thank you Andre and family and the won­derful people we met!

I don’t know if there’s enough space to praise this expe­rience at Casa Do Pego enough!

My family and I (2 young children), stayed at this beau­tiful house at the end of May/early June. Pego/Comporta is an area of great beauty which we dis­co­vered 3 years ago, and dreamt of coming back to ever since. We knew that we wanted to stay in a villa this time, and Casa Do Pego could not have been better situated. The house is about as close as you can get to Pego Beach (10 min walk).

From the beginning of my cor­re­spon­dence with Andre, appro­xi­m­ately 10 months before, to the day that we arrived, he could not have been more helpful. Any question that I had was usually ans­wered almost imme­diately. And I had many! When I had trouble booking our restau­rants in advance, he went beyond the call of duty and oversaw all of the reser­va­tions himself. He also orga­nised a deli­cious dinner to be cooked by his private chef for us all one evening. The fresh, locally caught fish was exquisite, and the clam stew was the most deli­cious one I’ve ever had!

The house worked per­fectly on many levels. The design of it was a joy to live in and the layout with the inner cour­tyard was fan­tastic when you have young children. We could see the kids from every side of the houses main rooms at all times. The swimming pool which was on the roof, was a great hit! The kids swam in it every day, and my husband and I would have a glass of wine at the end of the evening and stargaze on the lounger cushions. Simply magical!

Andre was an inva­luable source of infor­mation and recom­men­da­tions before and during our stay. We were always able to reach him, which made us feel relaxed and very secure. It is because of his tireless dedi­cation to running his home as pro­fes­sio­nally as he does, that made our trip run smoothly and a com­plete dream!

It is a holiday filled with memories that we will always cherish, and we are already dre­aming of when we will return.

Well we had such a gor­geous week in this special house. From the setting to your hos­pi­tality & help, to the pool where our son finally stopped using arm­bands to the beau­tiful weather & beaches, we truly had a fan­tastic week. It was such a great place for us to bring both parents & the kids. It was amazing to have the oppor­tunity to eat deli­cious local food cooked in the house by won­derful people so full of warmth and spirit. And the whole area of Com­porta is divine and the people so fri­endly.

We feel very for­t­unate to have found the amazing Casa de Pego and we will defi­nitely be back next year.

We just returned from a blissful week at Casa do Pego and struggle a lot to settle back into our hectic city life! We came for a week of Easter vacation and found total seren­dipity! An amazing house, tas­tefully deco­rated with an unob­trusive and dis­creet design in a beau­tiful setting. Just what you need to unwind! We (a family of four) are very gra­teful for all of Andre’s advice and help during our stay and the way we were wel­comed by him and his wife! We can’t wait to come back! Thank you!

wow ! this house is truly inspiring and the sur­rounding is for me, as a Ber­liner, exactly what i wished for a home away home. i loved ever­y­thing, a place where you find peace love and sur­prises.

Our stay in this gor­geous house was fan­tastic!
Though we stayed just for three days, we were totally relaxed when we arrived home in Frankfurt.
The pool, the interior, the views, ever­y­thing was won­derful.
We (2 adults, a 16 years old son) loved your stylish and private home. Andre´s very warm welcome was the beginning of a won­derful time — in a part of paradise.

Many thanks for ever­y­thing. We definetely will return!

We had a fan­tastic stay in case do pego. The house is most beau­tiful, per­fectly and tas­tefully equipped and allows you — espe­cially with the central yard, the nice view and the pool terrace on the roof — a new living expe­rience. In October the sourrounding land­scape was calm and magni­ficent. In addition the home owners took excep­tional care of us. It was one of our best holidays.

We (4 adults and a 4 yr old girl) stayed in this beau­tiful and stylish piece of art for one week in early Sep­tember. The house is very lovely and the owner made an excellent job sel­ecting and com­posing all the design pieces to make it look so perfect. We had a great time there, espe­cially our daughter who loved the pool on the roof very much. And the tip to buy fresh fish from Joacqin in Com­porta for our BBQ at night was sen­sa­tional. Many thanks again!

Casa Do Pego is a slice of Por­tu­guese paradise. Ten minute walk to a spar­kling clean and unc­rowded beach and easy access to small towns Car­valhal and Com­porta for shopping and dining. The house itself is tas­tefully appointed with a homey warmth, no details were spared, including cozy blankets ever­y­where, indoor and outdoor dining spots, pool toys, beach towels, fully equipped kitchen and so much more. The roof top pool was perfect for post-beach/pre-dinner cock­tails!

Andre, the owner, was attentive and responsive to our fre­quent texts asking about where’s this and how do we get there. Addi­tio­nally, Andre reserved bikes that were waiting in the drive on arrival, arranged for a massage the­rapist to visit the house for mas­sages, and helped with dif­ficult restaurant reser­va­tions in Lisbon. He was very invested in our visit being a great holiday. The house is per­fectly situated for a family vacation, enough com­munity space for everyone to gather but then also enough indi­vidual space for each to have time alone.

I will return!

We just returned from 8 glo­rious days at Simply Modern by the Sea. Both the house and the sur­rounding area were beyond our expec­ta­tions. The weather, beaches, food and acti­vities were all spec­ta­cular. But above all was the most gra­cious hos­pi­tality from Andre. From the moment we booked the house to the day we departed he was always available for ques­tions and special requests. He even purchased yoga mats for the house so that we could use them during our visit.
The house is a design mas­ter­piece and so com­for­table for our group of 5.There was nothing left to want at Simply Modern by the Sea except for another week to enjoy its beauty. The indoor and outdoor space were so con­ducive to a relaxing seaside vacation. We com­pletely enjoyed the expe­rience and have so many great memories. Until next time…..

If you’re looking for Por­tu­guese paradise, this is it. A blonde sugar beach with tur­quoise water on your doorstep. The sound of crashing waves drifting across green rice fields, as you watch the sun sink behind the dunes. The house befits the cover of any glossy magazine but without com­pro­mising comfort. Andre is charming and incre­dibly generous with his time and his know­ledge of the locale. It would be dif­ficult to improve on Simply Modern by the Sea.

What a beau­tiful house with a gor­geous view facing sun set and rice field; owned by a very helpful and fri­endly host:
“you can not talk of such a place without crashing your decor, excep­tional it is true! Imagine just come face to green rice fields and fields dotted with dis­he­veled huts lonely 180 ° and 400 meters from the best beach of the coast, the Praia de Pego, seat restaurant, rela­tively speaking, the most famous of the region and recently voted one of the top 8 beach cafes in the world by Conde Nast Tra­veller UK” mrtripper”

Ever­y­thing in this house is perfect for spending time with friends, very well deco­rated!
We had the chance to enjoy this place early June, it was perfect: sunny, lovely beach, warn enough water, very quiet… like a paradise;
I would defi­ni­tively come back to visit “Andre and family’s house”

Thanks for your won­derful house — we had a great time in Pego. Thank you also for helping to rent bikes, and for the good ideas of acti­vities (surfing, dolphin wat­ching, Sal, …)
We enjoyed our holidays very much, and we will keep it in our mind.
Have a good time and best wishes to you and your family.

Our family of four had a fan­tastic stay. The house is beau­tiful with clean-cut lines yet all the com­forts you need, including a heated rooftop pool. It is located just a short stroll from a spec­ta­cular beach which also has the best beach restaurant in the area.The owner, Andre, pro­vided great tips on local restau­rants, shops and things to do. He also arranged for bikes to be deli­vered to the house which we used everyday to go to town for gro­ceries and coffee.Celia, who lives just down the road, is a superb cook and pre­pared deli­cious dinners for us twice during our stay. All in all very highly recom­mended.

We spent a week in Casa do Pego. From the initial contact to the farewell the owners led us to feel that they wanted our stay to be as enjoyable as pos­sible.

We loved the building, the attention to detail in the design. The sense of ever­y­thing in the house working. The planting around the house is excep­tio­nally beau­tiful and restful.

What was par­ti­cu­larly uplifting was the gene­rosity of the owners and their desire for comfort for them­selves and their guests.

The area is worth exploring with local restau­rants of note, coun­tryside and beaches to wind down in. And all so close to Lisbon. Plenty of advice is on hand from the owners if wanted about how to get the best out of the area.

A memo­rable stay, and one to be repeated if pos­sible.

A jewel. We had a fan­tastic week at Andre’s place. He is a great host and the house is fabulous. Many trips nearby but also lots to enjoy in the house. We will come back!

We stayed at Casa Do Pego the week of March 18th. Andre could not have been a more gra­cious host. He was always timely with our ques­tions and went above and beyond in ans­wering and pro­viding necessary details of the area and from Lisbon airport. In fact, the first night, I chose a wrong route back from the Com­porta grocery and he quickly got us back on track and to the villa.The home exceeded our expec­ta­tions and we felt com­pletely at home the first day. Location is awesome and short walk to the beach along with the great seafood restaurant located right on the beach.The home is perfect for a family or in our case we enjoyed as a couple.
The fire­place was very enjoyable during our stay as we had a few cooler days in March.If you love modern archi­tecture and one of the most serene beach areas in the world, do not miss expe­ri­encing this home.

Thanks again Andre for ever­y­thing. David

From October 1st, 2014 we spent two won­derful weeks at Casa do Pego – its skillfully reduced con­tem­porary archi­tecture and tas­teful inte­riors are truly mira­culous.
Amidst rural farmland with the great dunes of Praia do Pego in walking distance
we could won­derfully relax and almost instantly forget the hurly-burly of city life.
We did long walks on the beach and watched the stars from the atrium or the porch with a glass of excellent regional wine and had the feeling that we defi­nitely had found our per­sonal seren­dipity. Unfor­gettable.
A special delight is the tem­pe­rature con­trolled pool on the sun roof – with a unique view over the spec­ta­cular sur­roun­dings at day and at night. Casa do Pego is equipped with high quality beds in every bedroom. The excellent and tas­teful bed linen and towels were changed every five days – along with a com­plete cleaning of the house. And the support by the owner is also remar­kable: starting with driving ins­truc­tions from Lisbon airport and detailed infor­mation on shopping and eating faci­lities in the Com­porta area before we even had left home, the con­stant avai­la­bility during our entire stay and the very warm farewell at the day of departure.
Thank you, Andre — we do hope that we can come back soon.

Our family of 5 stayed at Casa do Pego in mid-August 2015. We have only one hesi­tation in writing a glowing review of this place, namely that too many others will find out about it, and pre­clude our return visit. Our stay was magni­ficent in every way. Andre was an excellent villa host and owner, far exceeding expec­ta­tions on service and cus­tomer care. The villa is modern, very well designed without any sacrifice to comfort. The location is excep­tional. Com­porta is a region of extra­or­dinary beauty and we can think of no better place than Casa do Pego to dis­cover its charms. Celia who lives nearby served us food in the villa than was even tastier than the excellent local restau­rants. We look forward to our next stay.

“Paradise in Praia do Pego”
“Fol­lowing ins­truc­tions from Lisbon Airport we arrived at Casa do Pego without stress and were met by the owners to go over the pro­perty and give us keys. We were then left to explore the modern, per­fectly designed villa, and then walk to one of the most beau­tiful beaches in the world. On the dunes we were treated to a won­derful meal in the local restaurant and an incre­dible sunset. The fol­lowing day our other 2 daughters arrived. It was the perfect place for reunion, rest and rela­xation! However, one of the girls loves action which ent­ailed a day trip to Lagos in the Algarve. (com­pletely doable!) We arrived home after the long day to mouth watering smells and a meal pre­pared by a magni­ficent local cook. The table was set beau­tifully, wine glasses ready and the 3 course meal for 6 served, eaten and cleared away. The house is fan­tastic; very well equipped with ever­y­thing from a Nes­presso machine to local soap pro­vided! There was a bike that I rode to the local super­mercado for sup­plies. The area pro­vides many and varied inte­resting sights – from the vineyard at Herdade da Com­porta to the his­to­rical village of Alcacer de Sal and fishing wharf of Car­ras­queira, all of which pro­vided won­derful photos oppor­tu­nities. I highly recommend a stay in this paradise and would love to return!

das haus ist in natura noch besser, als auf den Bildern: licht, luftig, trans­parent, schön aus­ge­stattet ! das ideale beach­house !
der nahe strand ist super: auch im hoch­sommer nicht über­füllt, am strand­zugang liegt das sal (salz) ein weithin für seine fisch­spe­zia­li­täten bekanntes restaurant mit blick auf strand und meer.
