Villa Carpe Diem

An incredible villa by the sea in Atalaia, Lourinhã — five bedrooms, a large swimming pool, a jacuzzi and a rooftop made for sunsets, just a seven-minute walk from Peralta beach.

Villa Carpe Diem stands in Atalaia, a coastal village in the municipality of Lourinhã on Portugal’s Silver Coast, north of Lisbon. The location does a lot of the work for you: Peralta beach is seven minutes away on foot, while Lisbon and Humberto Delgado Airport are just 45 minutes by car — close enough for an easy arrival, far enough that the city feels a world away.

With 347 m² of space, this is a villa built for big groups. Five bedrooms and six bathrooms give everyone room to breathe, an elevator in the building makes moving between floors easy, and the fully equipped kitchen handles everything from quick breakfasts to long shared dinners. Air conditioning, WiFi, a TV, a washing machine and dryer, and provided essentials keep daily life simple; the villa is non smoking, with free private parking on the premises.

Outdoors, the large swimming pool takes centre stage, with a jacuzzi beside it and a garden with an outdoor dining area and barbecue facilities for meals in the open air. And when the day winds down, take the evening up to the rooftop and watch the sunset — the villa’s signature moment.

There is plenty for playful hours too:

• Foosball, a ping-pong table and a pool/billiard table
• Hot tub in addition to the large pool
• Rooftop for sunset watching
• Barbecue and outdoor dining in the garden

Prepared to receive up to ten guests, Villa Carpe Diem suits a large family, two families travelling together or a group of friends — and it is family and kid friendly. Forget your worries in this spacious and peaceful place: days drift from pool to beach to rooftop, and nobody queues for a bathroom.
