A Villa For Each Season In 2026

by Paola Fiocchi Van den Brande

At Passepartout Homes, we believe every season brings its own magic — and with it, the perfect setting for a memorable escape.

From sun-drenched terraces in summer to the warmth of a mountain retreat in winter, our carefully curated villas allow you to experience the best of each time of year in complete comfort and style.

This season, we’re excited to share our top four homes, each one hand-picked to embody the essence of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

AUTUMN Algarve, Portugal

Casa Fuzetta stands as a profoundly restored historic townhouse in the heart of Olhão’s old town, offering both grandeur and intimacy. Originally built as a gentleman’s residence, it has been lovingly renovated between 2014 and 2016 using traditional local craftsmanship, with whitewashed walls, exposed stone, wood, linen and natural tones throughout. The house is spacious yet welcoming—twelve beautifully styled ensuite bedrooms, indoor and outdoor communal living and eating areas, meditation sanctuary, library, game room, treatment rooms, large contemporary kitchen, and that spectacular rooftop terrace with heated saltwater pool and views over Olhão’s rooftops.

More than just a beautiful setting, Casa Fuzetta is built for gathering, retreat, inspiration and relaxation. It is ideal for large families, friends or groups seeking a high-end yet relaxed environment: retreats in yoga, creative arts, wellness or just a shared holiday of reconnecting.

With its central location you are just steps from Olhão’s vibrant market, family-run local restaurants, and ferries to the islands; yet privacy and calm are guaranteed thanks to thoughtful design, generous communal spaces, and a dedicated house team who help ensure every stay feels both luxurious and effortlessly comfortable.
