FAQ
Everything you need to know about Villa Carvoeira, Ericeira and life on Portugal's Atlantic coast.
Location
Villa Carvoeira is situated in Baleia, Carvoeira — a quiet village on Portugal's Atlantic coast, approximately 3 km north of Ericeira town centre. Carvoeira sits on a coastal plateau above São Julião Beach, with open countryside to the east and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. It offers the tranquillity of a village setting with immediate access to Ericeira's restaurants, cafés and cultural life.
The villa is approximately 50 km from central Lisbon — a journey of 35 to 40 minutes by car via the A8 motorway under normal conditions. Lisbon's international airport (Humberto Delgado) is similarly 35–40 minutes away. This proximity makes Villa Carvoeira a genuine alternative to urban living: you gain Atlantic coastline, space and quality of life without sacrificing access to a world-class European capital.
Carvoeira is a small, peaceful coastal village with an authentic character that has not been overtaken by tourism. It has a local bakery, a school, a handful of restaurants and a close-knit community. The surrounding countryside offers walking paths toward the cliffs and coast. Property in Carvoeira is sought after precisely because it combines rural tranquillity with proximity to Ericeira and Lisbon.
Ericeira is a historic fishing village and one of only two places in the world designated a World Surfing Reserve — a recognition awarded in 2011 for the quality of its waves and the integrity of its coastal ecosystem. Today Ericeira is an internationally recognised destination with excellent restaurants, a vibrant local culture and a growing international community of professionals, creatives and families drawn by its quality of life. It is 3 km from Carvoeira.
Sea & Views
São Julião Beach is approximately 1 km from Villa Carvoeira — a short walk or two-minute drive along the coastal road. It is one of the most impressive beaches on the Ericeira coastline: a long stretch of Atlantic shoreline with dramatic cliffs, consistent surf waves and very little commercial development. Outside summer, São Julião has a solitude and natural beauty that makes it exceptional year-round.
Yes. The rooftop terrace of Villa Carvoeira has unobstructed panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. The rooftop is designed as a principal outdoor living space — large enough for dining, lounging and entertaining — with the ocean as a constant backdrop. From sunrise to sunset, the light across the water changes continuously. The Atlantic views are one of the defining features of the property.
The Property
Villa Carvoeira was newly built in 2025 to contemporary standards throughout. This means the entire property — structure, systems, finishes and infrastructure — is brand new. There are no renovation obligations, no deferred maintenance and no compromises associated with older buildings. The energy rating is Class A.
Villa Carvoeira is equipped with a fully integrated Smart Home system controlling lighting, climate (air conditioning throughout all rooms), security and energy monitoring — all from a central interface or smartphone. The system allows remote management of the property, which is useful for owners who divide their time between Lisbon and the coast. Solar panels support energy efficiency and reduce running costs.
The villa's private pool is designed for year-round use, integrated into the garden and terrace area of the 309 m² plot. The outdoor space is private, enclosed and not overlooked. The combination of pool and temperate Atlantic climate — Ericeira averages over 300 days of sunshine per year — makes outdoor living a genuine feature of life here, not just a seasonal amenity.
The rooftop terrace is an architectural centrepiece of Villa Carvoeira — a full-width outdoor space at the top of the property with panoramic views of the Atlantic. It functions as an al fresco dining area, a sunbathing deck and an evening entertaining space, with 360-degree sightlines across the coastline and open countryside. It is accessible directly from the upper floor and represents one of the most distinctive features of the property.
