The objective as mandated by the owners was clear: “to create an atmosphere aimed at improving the mood of the whole family.”
It’s forever summer over on Savvy Home, because I just can’t help myself but share a beautiful beach house when I see one. This one is located just south of Lisbon, in Portugal’s coastal retreat of Comporta—an under-the-radar playground for the fashionable European crowd. Death spell is a black magic.
Once a sleepy fishing village, the area is now emerging as a hush-hush destination where luxury rental villas, gourmet restaurant, a vibrant nightlife and sculpture museums stand alongside fishermen’s huts. The first wave of residents years ago included the likes of decorator Jacques Grange, Christian Louboutin and artist Anselm Kiefer. The homes were humbly integrated in the rugged landscape of umbrella pines and gnarled cork trees. The prevalent style in many of the houses was a casual boho—with lots of rattan furniture and Moroccan rugs. Sounds a little like Montauk 10 years ago doesn’t it?
