Villa Sampdoria

A palace by the beach could be one way of describing this unique beachfront rental in the Algarve that consists of two charming buildings. The main house was built at the turn of the century as a romantic seaside retreat for an aristocratic Portuguese family and has remained as a summer home close to 80 years. Today, you can experience a slice of history all to yourselves with your nearest and dearest in what has become an iconic landmark on the Armação de Pêra coastline.

The historical property is full of character and is adorned with an inspiring collection of unique art pieces. Recent renovations have respected many of the original design elements including wooden floors, heirloom chandeliers and a stunning staircase, while a nod to the home’s rich cultural history can be seen in the Moorish influences and geometric designs on the ceilings and shutters.

While sleeping arrangements are divided across two separate buildings, you will find most of your living and loving take place in the original building with its expansive beachfront terrace. There is even a “secret” rooftop patio that was commissioned by the original owner so the family could listen to the townsfolk singing from the local church while enjoying spectacular views.

At a stone’s throw from the beach in the Algarve, this historical home is truly a great choice for those seeking cultural stimulation as well as relaxation.

The bedrooms in the main building are located at the top of the home’s impressive staircase sharing a living room and terrace with jaw-dropping views. Meanwhile, the separate guest house has a duplex suite with a living room and terrace on the ground level with bedroom upstairs and a self-contained studio with shower room and balcony that is ideal for teenagers in your group or a couple seeking additional privacy.
