Carolina Irving welcomes us into her romantic retreat in an unspoilt coastal region of Portugal. When Carolina purchased the property nearly 15 years ago, there was barely one wall left standing from the previous structure. She accepted the challenge, undaunted, and has created a home that is perfectly compact, where nothing is unaccounted for.

Not simply a weekend pied-à-terre, Carolina’s house had to function as a year-round escape from her home in Paris — for herself, her partner, French documentary producer Bertrand Devaud. Watch the full episode of ‘Design Notes’ as we tour Carolina Irving’s Portuguese home from home.

    Well this was a delight to watch, wish it was much longer though. I loved everything in the house, especially the mix of fabrics, textures and colour combinations. ❤

    The nasturtiums in the green vase epitomises the spirit of this home. We have an artist in Australia called Margaret Olley whose home had vases of flowers everywhere - for me the utmost luxury.
  • Beautiful. I love it all. ❤ Paradise. The colors, textiles, and objects are perfection.
  • I am so delighted she used so many portuguese brands to decorate the house! :)
