Villa Erasmo offers a comfortable, traditional Portuguese home, brimming with local charm while offering all contemporary comforts within a secluded spot on the glittering Lisbon coast.

With a classic white-washed façade framed with pretty shutters, this charming home offers the ideal blend of modern and rustic. Guests will immediately feel at ease as they enter this ‘home-from-home’ environment and all its natural and pared-down charm.

Set within luscious gardens, fragrant with flowering plants, this home offers stylish outdoor living at its best: with a covered dining terrace guests can enjoy long and lazy lunches by the pool, evening barbecues with local wines and grilled seafood or breakfasts after a refreshing morning swim.

With dappled shade, dazzling sunny terraces, indulgent hammocks and lazy loungers, guests will genuinely drop the tempo in line with the local pace of life.

Up to eight guests can be accommodated across four bedrooms and four bathrooms (with the option for an additional bed at request) at Villa Erasmo. The interiors at this charming home provide casual elegance. The airy, open-plan living space is full of natural light, while a pillar-box red corner sofa offers space for the whole family.

French windows offer a natural interplay between indoor and outdoor living, whilst terracotta flagstone flooring and original open fireplace add to the authentic feel. Naturally sub-divided into separate spaces, the potential for sociable living or tranquil ‘downtime’ are unlimited; solid timber antique furnishings, characterful paintings and a cottage style eat-in kitchen offer a home full of personal touches.

Four bedrooms offer solid timber flooring, cotton bedlinen and beautiful garden views. Finished with an airy, neutral palette, the bedrooms are crisp, serene and restorative. Whilst the lower floor bedrooms offer direct garden access, the upper floor bedroom is semi-self contained, for additional privacy.

Villa Erasmo is the quintessential Portuguese home, blending local raw materials and original features with all the comfort of a cosy hotel.

Villa Erasmo is nestled in a pretty spot on the Lisbon Coast, on the periphery of the Aroeira Golf resort (4 km) along with all the amenities that this offers. The closest beach is Fonte da Telha (5.5 km). The Fonte de Telha beach offers visitors an uncrowded beach with dunes, a high bar and water sports.

At the resort, guests have access to two 18 hole championship golf courses. There are tennis courts, spa, health centre and playground as well as restaurants and shops.

Aroeira boasts a stretch of thirty kilometres of the most beautiful beaches in Portugal; whether it be the lively and buzzing beach at the village of Costa da Caparica, to the more wild and rugged beaches at the southern end of the stretch, visitors will not be short of choice.

This region of Portugal is ideal for water sports enthusiasts, whether it be canoeing, snorkelling, diving or surfing, the area is a water lovers’ paradise.

The beauty of the Lisbon coast is that it provides a breezy escape from the capital, whilst being home to some of Portugal’s historic jewels, which attract thousands of visitors: the ancient walled town of Obidos, the 12th century monastery at at Alcobaca, the Catholic pilgrimage site of Fatima, and the fairytale palaces of Sintra.

Estoril is where Ian Fleming took inspiration for the James Bond books, offers whitewashed and cobbled charm which will take you back in time; the marina is where the well-heels moor their yachts, while the town’s casinos provide quick action.

Lisbon itself is a vibrant and colourful city with a fascinating history; the town is rich with museums, monuments and a lively waterfront with bars and many restaurants showcasing a blend of traditional and contemporary architecture.
