In Assouline's impressive coffee table book "Comporta Bliss," Carlos Souza, brand ambassador for Valentino and world-renowned fashion photographer, invites the reader to explore her personal version of Comporta. She has been spending time in Comporta since her teenage years and this book shows her passion for photography and her special eye for nature and scenery.

Sometimes compared to Brigitte Bardot's Saint-Tropez in the 1950s, Comporta, with its relaxed pace and artistic community, is the ideal destination for those looking to change course. It is the new favorite of such personalities as Jacques Grange, Farida Khelfa, François Dumas, the Espírito Santo family and Madonna, who shares photos showing her taking her children to the beach and riding horses on weekends in the dunes of nearby Carvalhal. This fishing village has vast beaches, patchwork rice fields and an ecosystem full of storks and frogs. All this forms a serene backdrop for the distinctive houses you'll find there: rustic cabanas and huts with thatched roofs that reflect the carefree lifestyle that has become the hallmark of Comporta. This special environment challenges architects and designers to create unique spaces that delightfully blur the line between inside and outside. These pages reflect the characteristic cobalt blue of the region, from the sky and sea to the walls, shutters and designer pieces that adorn the houses, both picturesque and bold. Discover the beauty and joy of simplicity with Comporta Bliss
