We loved our stay. Beautiful spacious and well equipped villa in a quiet friendly non-touristic neighborhood, great swimming pool, ideal situated to get to know the silver coast and for a day trip (or two) to Lisboa or Cascais for example. Obidos bay is ideal for all types of watersport and swimming/ sun bading with younger children. The atlantic ocean close to it, for wild waves.
Gorgeous view of the lagoon from the villa and the pool was beautiful Very well equipped kitchen and a good size for multiple peopleGarden is Lovely with a number of herbs available for useLocation was perfect for us-grocery stores nearby in Caldus de RainaWe visited 4 beaches in a 20 min driving radiusFoz de Arelho at the mouth of the lagoon opening on the Atlantic was spectacular We could see the sandbar from the VillaBeautiful rugged walking hiking trails also available there40 min to Peniche for a boat trip to The Berlangas and surfing lessons and fantastic fresh food restaurants featuring fresh caught fishAbout the same time to Nazare and great beach and foodWe went to Caiscais for a Portuguese cooking lesson, very modern and continental Highly recommended Villa is over 2000 square feet and very roomy for up to 8 people
Had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. Really well equipped, comfortable, loved the pool, terrace and outdoor space. Excellent communication and all worked smoothly on arrival.
Nice house with all required amenities including a pool and separate bathrooms for all bedrooms. Superb beach and good resaturants at Foz do Arelho which is only a 3 minute drive away. We very much enjoyed our short stay.
Great stay with everything as described. The pool was amazing and the house is very clean. Quiet neighborhood with many amenities not to far away. Communication was perfect before, during and at departure.
Excellent property in a very relaxed area. Outstanding views of the lagoon and within a healthy walk to the main beach and local restaurants.
We would recommend a car to enable you to visit other beautiful towns and villages in this outstanding part of Portugal.
The property was perfect. Clean, accomodating and great location for day trips to other locations. We had a fabulous time. A bit cool for the pool but we were able to use it. Comfortable setting, furniture and usage of the kitchen. Private and safe. I couldn't say anything bad about the property. Isabel was a gem and very helpful with information and extremely efficient. She's a keeper for sure. Can't wait to visit again!
we were completely happy with the house. the view is wonderful, the house is lovingly furnished. everything was very clean except for the freezer. but since we didn't use it at all, we didnât care about that.
There are great restaurants around, the beach is very close and very clean. you are pretty far away from tourism there. We really enjoyed our stay and can highly recommend this house to every family.
Lovely house in a quiet part beside Obidos Lagoon. It had everything that we required, with lovely outside areas that we utilised for enjoying the sun. The views across the lagoon are great and the pool is lovely (good size too). The bedrooms are doubles and of a good size, with appropriate cupboard space. Adjoining bathrooms are also of a good size although I would add a pace to hang towels etc. in the upstairs ones. Overall, lovely place with all the amenities you would need, including if you wanted to host a bake off show (lots of utensils I didn't know what they were for in truth). Would absolutely come back to this venue.
Very beautiful and comfortable villa in a lovely unspoilt area
A really lovely spacious and beautifully furnished villa with about everything that we needed. The setting was lovely and the pool was warm, immaculately clean and a good size and was enjoyed by us all. The owner and the maid were very kind to wait for us when we arrived very late due to delays on our flight and were very quick and helpful the couple of times we had problems with the WiFi and when the alarm went off on the last day!
We enjoyed the quietness of the area, but spending time at the beach, cafes and the headland walkway at Foz, and also Obidos was well worth several visits. There is an Aldi in Caldas da Rainha and other supermarkets - so catering is fairly easy. One of our sons enjoyed learning to windsurf on the Lagoon from the sailing school just a few minutes walk away - they also have a nice and good value cafe there. We did not know the area before, but we would love to come back.
Thank you Miguel. This cute home was located in a small neighborhood in Portugal. It wasn't too far from most districts we visited. Sometimes the drive could be an hour away but then you spent the day in the city you were visiting. We went to Navare, Lisbon and many other spots.
We were able to visit the downtown area of Caldas de Rainha! CUTE.
The home is in a quiet area overlooking the ocean. We didn't get a chance to swim in the pool due to weather. Our loss. The home is spacious, clean and inviting. Portugal seems like a naturally quiet country and our neighborhood was no exception.
We were greeted by the housekeeper and young man. They gave us a tour of the house with instructions and an invitation to reach out to them if we needed anything.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
A few things to note
- the sink in the bathroom may need a new nozzle. The water sprays everywhere. We learnt that the hard way.
- the shower upstairs doesn't drain too well.
The home has a well equipped kitchen and a small refrigerator.
We could have used a couple extra towels and some additional toilet paper.
We would definitely stay here again!
The views are simply spectacular.
Blick ueber die Lagune von Ăbidos ueberwaeltigend
Das Haus besticht durch die Lage, Heizung und eine geschmackvolle Einrichtung. Wir haben die ruhige Gegend sehr genossen und sehr nette Nachbarn kennengelernt. Mehrere Terrassen und Balkone, ein groĂer Garten mit einem groĂen Pool machen den Aufenthalt zum Traumurlaub. Die Umgebung laedt zum Erkunden der Natur ein. Ein Wassersportcenter mit sehr freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Mitarbeitern liegt dem Haus in zwei Minuten Fahrtzeit zu FĂŒĂen. Ein verwilderter Fussweg fĂŒhrt ebenfalls dorthin. SupermĂ€rkte sind in 10-15 Minuten mit dem Auto erreichbar. Die KĂŒche ist gut ausgestattet, u.a. mit einer genialen Kaffeemaschine, alle SZ haben praktische Klapplaeden zum Verdunkeln und im Hochsommer gegen Hitze. Die Matratzen sind fest.Check-in und check-out waren flexibel an unsere Flugzeiten anpassbar und die Kommunkation jederzeit möglich. Auf unsere Frage wie die Zentralheizung eingeschaltet werden könnte, wurde schnell reagiert und so war es wĂ€hrend der beiden kĂŒhleren Tage angenehm warm im Haus.Bei der ersten Einfahrt zum Haus - besonders im Dunkeln - sollte man bei tiefer liegenden Fahrzeugen auf einen mittig stehenden Torzapfen im Boden achtgeben.
Wij waren met onze zoons en schoondochters voor 5 dagen op deze mooie plek. Wat een uitzicht, rust. En mooi huis. Allemaal een eigen badkamer . Ideaal.
Donât get me wrong, this is a lovely villa with very pretty views of the lagoon, a wonderful pool and a great location in a quiet neighbourhood around 3km from shops, beaches and restaurants. However, for us our stay fell down on two fronts. 1. Communication. Before our arrival I asked for information and instructions several times. Finally a reply contained an absolute minimum of information and stated that the housekeeper Isabel would be there to hand us the key. Half an hour before arrival, I still had not managed to get hold of Isabel despite leaving several voice messages (I speak some Portuguese). I finally called the ownerâs number only to get talking to his lovely Dad (who does not speak English at all) who promised to call Isabel for us. When we arrived, a nice young guy called Rui (Isabelâs son?) had just pulled up and gave us a minimalist 3-minute tour of the house. Same lack of communication when we found out that the wifi was not working because the card had not been pre-loaded â more phone-calls to Dad, Isabel and Rui before the owner put money on the card.
2. The house itself looked like it had been stripped bare by locusts. There were no instructions for anything â appliances, rubbish collection, pool maintenance â nada. There was no welcome pack of food essentials, no detergent or cleaning materials, not even the most basic condiments. We have stayed in many villas before but this has never happened to us before. Not impressed
The home was in a very nice neighborhood with a great view of the lagoon. It worked well for visiting nearby sites⊠Obidos, Peniche. There is also a lovely beach with restaurants nearby.
The home does need some attention. The stove burners did not all work. the oven also did not work. Please bring all necessary supplies for a kitchen, such as dishwashing detergent and paper towels. There was an ironing board but no iron. The master bathroom has such a low shower basin that without weights on the shower curtain, one needed to be extra careful water does not leak over. It was easier just to use the downstairs shower.
The home was quiet and comfortable. It served well as a base station. The pool was very inviting and clean.
