Rent This Villa, Land Rover Included | Lifestyle
Custom built #87 was first sketched for Steve Ambort in the summer of 2018. The idea was to build a Land Rover for the slow living Comporta vibe. Almost minimal yet color was important.
It had to be remarkable. It was meant to create meaningful memories with family and friends. It should be the ultimate design piece for the Villa in Sublime, Comporta.
Steve read about Comporta in a magazine while sitting in a cafe in Mayfair in 2016, took a picture of the article and referred back to it while planning a holiday the next summer.
He hadn’t been to Portugal since 2010.
Steve says “No surprise, the first thing I fell for were the beaches and dunes but more surprising was the simplicity of the area and warmness of the people. I have travelled to most of the beach areas of Europe and I was sitting on Gale beach feeling as if I was on a beach in Brazil rather than Europe. It is remarkable to me that Comporta wasn’t discovered sooner particularly since it’s just over one hour from Lisbon. In my opinion, the simplicity of Comporta doesn’t match with a sports car. It is a working village and is still so today after all of the international attention.
Farming is at the heart of Comporta and the Alentejo and what better represents that than a Land Rover”
