Lovely villa, clean and well equipped, great location, stunning views of the lagoon. The owners of the villa were friendly, personable and willing to be adaptable and offered to go the extra mile (we were affected by industrial action which altered some of our arrangements). Informative and useful check-in by the property manager, Alison. Couldn't fault either the villa or its location. In all a lovely holiday.
A lovely 2 week stay - plenty of room for two families, well worth heating the pool (sea was very cold even in August) and we loved the hottubs. Biking was great - worth noting 2 of the 4 bikes that come with villa are kid bikes so worth supplementing with the extra ones. Views from the balcony were wonderful at both ends of the day.
During our stay we were 9 people in the age of 21-23 years from Germany and we went there for the first time. We absolutely enjoyed our stay in the villa.
The villa is equipped with everything you need for your stay. Many entertainment options are available and it offers plenty of space to get together, even in larger groups. Before the holiday we got a very detailed summary of places in the area you can visit and instructions on how to use the individual equipment in the villa. The images on the website are 100% consistent with what we found during our visit. We were surprised that the villa actually looked even better and bigger than in the pictures. The garden is well maintained and the pool is huge. There is a beautiful view over the lagoon and you can watch the sunset from the garden or from the balcony.
In the town there is a small grocery store, about 5 minutes away by car. If you want to make a bigger purchase of food, there is a large supermarket, located about 15 minutes by car from the villa.
The contact with the owners of the villa and the property manager was very uncomplicated and super nice. On arrival the property manager Alison showed us everything, she was as clarified, punctual and reliable at the villa.
We would like to thank the owners and the property manager for the stay and we will book a stay in this villa again.

We have just had a 7 night stay at this wonderful villa. there were 7 adults 2 children and 2 9 month old babies and plenty of room for everyone. The pool was superb as was the games room on an evening. If you require transfers from the airport do contact Alison the property manager ( Who provided great service and information throughout our stay) and ask for Daniel. He was our taxi driver all week and provided a professional, friendly and excellent service it's about 120 euros each way from Lisbon to the villa per car. It will be at least 150 euro if you get a cab outside the airport. Daniel will also have child seats if you ask for them- other cabs at the airport will not. The restaurants at the beach are about 30 minutes walk as are the ones in the village. We tried a couple of beach bars and ate at Tavola in the village . All were very good and very cheap . We used the well equipped BBQ a couple of times purchasing meat from the large supermarket in Caldas da Rainha it is 13.50 euro in a taxi and has a fruit and veg market daily, lovely park nice restaurants with a large shopping centre, definitely worth a visit if you need to stock up. If you prefer you can get supplies from the butcher (not open monday) and mini markets in the village. I would also pack the insect repellent as all of the adults in our party did suffer bites if you forget the pharmacy in the village have every thing you need ( it is up a side street behind the bakery). Also the laundry room was really useful. The views from the villa ate amazing. Wish we were still there!
We were 5 adults and 2 children (9 & 6). Plenty of space for all of us. The pool and the hot tub were very popular. The views are stunning. The property manager was very helpful and responsive. Very helpful information in the book provided - how everything works, local restaurants, shopping and attractions.
We stayed for a week, 9 of us (me & my wife, our three adult children and their partners plus our granddaughter.
Accommodation was bright and clean with luxurious touches. Two rooms have ensuites.
From many parts of the house and the garden you get good views of the lagoon and the ocean.
The pool was well used as was the hot tub for noisy evenings.
There is a games room with pool table which converts to a ping pong table. It has a TV projector. It was great to watch England on a 6ft high screen.
There is A/C in every room except the games room.
We ate out in local restaurants, which are all fairly small and family run. Perfect. We also cooked a few meals using the built in charcoal barbecue and sat at the large table on the decking. The kitchen is well equipped with appliances and utensils, including a Dolce Gusto coffee machine.
The local area is very quiet, no great developments or giant hotels. The beach has two sides, the ocean facing side popular with surfers and the lagoon side popular with families and kindergartens. You will need a hire car to get around.
A short drive takes you to Calde des Rainhas where you can get supermarket shopping (we like E.Leclerc) plus fast food if you need it.
Places to visit: we went to: Obidos a beautiful medieval walled town. Buddha Garden, a stunning park full of statues. Praia do S.Miguel a small seaside resort in a protected sandy cove. Peniche and Nazare are other good seaside fishing villages good for sandy beaches and fresh fish restaurants. You can get into Lisbon in an hour too.
Communication with the owner and the local agent was excellent.
Myself and 6 other ladies booked a week at this villa for our yearly trip. We had never visited this region so didnât know what to expect.
Transfers were organised through the owners as was a starter pack so we at least had something when we arrived.
Upon our arrival we were greeted with a very impressive villa which is fully detached and sits up the hill from the lagoon. The views from the villa overlooking the lagoon and Atlantic are beautiful!!
Alyson the housekeeper (English lady) met us there and explained everything we needed to know and more re where to go, what to see, very helpful!
Once inside the villa this also didnât disappoint, this large modern 2 storey 4 bedroom accommodation was just perfect!! It had everything we needed and more. Outside the pool, gardens and bbq area again were just perfect for our needs.
It took about 30 minutes to stroll into the town where we found restaurants and a very good supermarket, not large but seemed to have everything.
I would say if you like to go out and about hire a car but saying that the taxis were very good.
Would we return, yes we would, do we recommend, yes we do!!!
A fantastic property and location to relax and have fun.
We had 4 adults 2 teenagers and one child and the property was very spacious and could cope with more. All of the facilities were exactly as described and the property was very well maintained and looked after. The advice and help we got from the owners and managers was brilliant and their local knowledge was excellent. Easy to travel from the location to lots of interesting places. The property itself made us feel very relaxed from the minute we arrived and was easy to live in for two weeks. I really cant compliment the owners enough as they made it one of the best holidays we have had just because of how relaxing and spacious it was. The heated pool was brilliant as was the hot tub. The games room was lots of fun and BBQ area was used nearly every day. Great Kitchen and dining room and would give the property 10 out 10 for how liveable it was. Fantastic holiday for two families. Many thanks the Lamberts & Hastings from Norfolk England
Incredible luxury villa with home comforts and stunning views.
This property was beautiful, comfortable and family friendly. We had a fantastic week exploring the local beaches, restaurants and towns. Obidos is a great day out as is the Buddha Gardens.
Lovely pool with stunning views.
Highly recommend.
