Villa Kiyomi

The House for a Group

Sleeping & en-suite quality

Twelve bedrooms across two connected houses hold twenty-four, so three or four families land together without stacking into bunk rooms.

Kitchen & the long table

Three full kitchens and dining to match, the party eats together, or splits by house when it wants to.

Flow & shared living

Two houses, one plot; the group pools at the pool and the court, and keeps its own corners for the rest.

Design calibre

White walls, natural wood, vibrant art across 850 square metres of living space.

The Setting

Seclusion & neighbour distance

Twenty-three hectares of quiet woodland, fenced, one plot to yourselves.

Nature, light & views

Pines and garden on every side, the light Comporta is known for.

Quiet

Woodland in, the village a short reach out.

The Court

Verification & privacy

A private court on the plot, between the houses; the whole party plays and nobody queues.

Surface & build

Laid within the grounds, framed by the woodland.

Floodlights & play

Comfortable in the shoulders of the day; a real house tournament fits twenty-four.

Aesthetic integration

Part of the estate, a few steps from either house.

Photography plannedthe court, photographed next: the owner's shots are on their way, or I shoot it myself on the next visit. Verified private and on site.

The Kitchen

Chef access & provisioning

Daily breakfast is prepared and there's help with meals; a chef can be set for the nights the whole party eats together.

Local food, a short drive

Carvalhal and Comporta a minute or two on for the nights you go out.

Wine & produce culture

Alentejo growers, and a market run that feeds twenty-four without drama.

The Relaxation

Pool & water

A large pool for the whole group; the beach six kilometres down.

Sauna, ice, spa

Not at this house, the pool and the woodland do the recovering.

Sleep & unprogrammed space

Two houses means twenty-four people can each find a quiet room.

The Service on site

On-site staff & housekeeping

Housekeeping five hours a day, breakfast prepared, babysitting on request.

Upkeep & grounds

Two houses, one court, one pool, all kept between changeovers.

Runs-itself factor

A party of twenty-four that never feels like it's being run.

The Feeling

Arrival & sense of place

The woodland track drops the pace; two houses open to one group.

The week that arranges itself

Mornings on the court, the pool through the afternoon, one long table at night.

The features

Before

Who's in which house, the coaching, the nights out, sorted in one conversation.

During

Twenty-four people, one point of contact. It stays simple.

The route in

Met at Lisbon arrivals, about an hour and a quarter to Carvalhal.

The week

Cars on standby for the beach, dinners and the day trip, twenty-four move without a rota.

The chef

Set for the group nights, menus agreed beforehand across dietaries.

Out

Carvalhal and Comporta, booked ahead by me.

The bench

Comporta professionals with competition years; English, Portuguese and Spanish.

The format

Your court, your hours, drills, matchplay, and a house tournament a party this size actually fills.

The levels

Mixed groups read in one warm-up; nobody is left feeding balls.
