Pink House Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz is a relaxed coastal town on the Portuguese west coast, about 50 minutes from Lisbon and its airport. It is known for its long sandy beaches, reliable Atlantic waves and a mild climate, with a fresh sea breeze even in midsummer. Several surf schools in the area offer private or group lessons and board rental, making it an easy spot to discover or improve your surfing.

Pink House Santa Cruz is a contemporary retreat where modern design meets a warm, rustic spirit. Recently renovated, the villa has three private suites that comfortably accommodate six adults. In one suite, a mezzanine can host two children, and two of the suites can be prepared either with twin beds or a double bed. A cot, children’s sheets and towels are available on request. High-quality 300-thread-count cotton bedlinen provides softness and comfort, while premium toiletries leave the skin smooth and pleasantly scented.

Indoors, the living spaces flow naturally onto the wooden deck and garden. The barbecue area and outdoor dining table invite guests to enjoy local fish and seafood straight from the grill. The heated saltwater pool makes an evening swim possible all year round, with Egyptian cotton towels ready to dry you off after each dip.

The fully equipped kitchen comes with glass-ceramic cooktop, oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, toaster, electric kettle, coffee machine and more, so it is easy to turn market produce into healthy family meals. A round indoor dining table seats up to eight people and encourages long conversations; a high chair is available for babies or small children.

High-speed fibre-optic Wi-Fi, a Marshall Bluetooth speaker, cable TV and a Samsung Smart TV keep guests connected when they wish. In summer, the proximity of the ocean brings in the breeze; in winter, underfloor heating ensures a comfortable temperature throughout the house. Set in a quiet residential area a short drive north of Santa Cruz, the villa works as a calm base for days on the beach, coastal walks and unhurried dinners by the sea.
