It's one of a series of fishing and rural villages

bordering the Atlantic coast

on one of its most pristine and unpopulated stretches of beach

where some of the fashionable european crowd goes off the grid.

Some of the country's oldest families as well as designers

like Jacques Grange Christian Louboutin

Philippe Starck and artists like Anselm Kiefer

have turned it into their secret summer escape.

You come here not to be seen, not to be bothered

and not to feel on display to hoards of tourists.

You come here to live in beautiful homes

amidst the pine eucalyptus and cork oak forests

bordering the Alentejo coast

with very little traffic

and some lovely spots where to enjoy the local cuisine

and a lot to sunbathe within protected dunes

and beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Those who come to Comporta

should have the idea of absolute relaxation in mind.

There's little in the way of night-clubbing

or other major resort attractions

but there is an abundance of space and pristine beauty

difficult to imagine in an overcrowded

and overexploited continent like Europe.

In this hidden corner of paradise

as the NYT calls it

(for more about Comporta in the press click here)

we have a condo resort with just 6 plots for sale

a short drive away from some of the best local beaches
