Stone by the Sea - Mountain & Beach Retreat w/Pool

Blending traditional stone architecture with a modern, minimalist design, Stone by the Sea - Mountain & Beach Retreat w/Pool offers a truly unique accommodation experience. Spread across two spacious and light-filled floors, the house has been carefully designed to ensure comfort, privacy, and elegance in every corner.
Inside, you'll find a generous living room with panoramic windows that flood the space with natural light. The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing memorable meals with family or friends. The bedrooms have been tastefully decorated to promote deep rest, and the three sleek and functional bathrooms complete the wellness-focused atmosphere.
The outdoor area is a true private oasis: dive into the crystal-clear pool, soak up the sun on designer loungers, enjoy al fresco dining in the barbecue area, or simply relax under the shade of ancient olive trees, surrounded by nature’s serenity. Every detail has been thought out to provide a sense of refined escape and total disconnection.

Guests have exclusive access to the entire property. Portugal Active’s concierge service is available 24/7 to meet any needs — from arranging local excursions to booking a private chef. To ensure availability, we kindly ask that all services be requested at least 72 hours in advance.
