About this property

Detached luxury villa with amazing heated pool close to Obidos Lagoon & beaches

(Note: reviews are not recent as we listed with another site for a couple of years and are just recently back listing on VRBO). This is a luxury detached property: tastefully decorated, light and spacious, there are three well appointed bedrooms with good storage and three bathrooms (two ensuite). This great villa with free WIFI, has a large garden with pool (which can be heated for a small additional charge) and offers a high degree of privacy. Appealing to those looking for luxury living in a quiet and relaxing environment. The accommodation is very light and spacious due to it's open plan layout. The villa has been furnished in a modern manner befitting its contemporary style and is perfect for family living . Outside the villa - you can enjoy outside living with an array of outdoor furniture, BBQ, deck chairs around the private pool. The cycle path around Obidos lagoon is 400 metres away and there are 4 championship golf courses within a few minutes drive. Maximum occupancy is 6 adults (1 double and 2 twin), with up to 3 children and 2 infants; two children can be accommodated in a set of permanent bunk beds with good mattresses, there is also space in the master bedroom for 1 child's camp bed. We also have 2 cots.

The property is on 3 levels - the entrance hall is on the middle level, stairs lead down to the open plan living, dining and kitchen which have lots of windows and open onto the pool, patio and garden. A twin bedroom is next to the living room, again opening onto the pool and patio and also opposite a large shower room (with toilet and basin). Stairs from the entrance hall lead up to a landing, with doors to the other two bedrooms - both have en-suite bathrooms, large windows and balconies. The separation of bedrooms and bathrooms caters really well for multiple families / friends holidaying together or large multi-generational family groups.

Separate charge for pool heating: EUR 100 per week March to October to heat to approximately 26 degrees. EUR 65 charge for change of linen and towels mid stay (required for multiple week bookings).

Owned by a family with 4 children and based in the UK we built our home away from home in 2009 and have been letting it successfully to guests ever since - we visit ourselves twice a year for long family holidays so have gradually furnished it to a lovely standard and as keen cooks have made sure the kitchen is very well equipped (to take advantage of the fantastic produce available in Portugal!). We hope you like our villa as much as we do!

A five minute walk from the beautiful Obidos Lagoon with its shallow, clear waters which are perfect for children; excellent beaches and golf are a very short drive away. Note: The villa is on the lower edge of the development of villas, so enjoys good privacy; the plot is far bigger than many, with the garden a really excellent size for children. Easy parking.

Golf/ Beaches/ Sightseeing: Golf information:
Praia del Rey golf is under 10 minutes away. Bom Successo Golf course is around 5 minutes away. Royal Obidos and Westcliffs are even closer!
There are numerous unspoilt white sandy beaches within 5 to 10 minutes driving distance including Praia D'el Rey , Praia de Bom Sucesso, Cortico and slightly further afield Baleal. The family friendly beach at Obidos Lagoon is 5 minutes away . Just across the the Lagoon at Foz Do Arehlo you can stroll along the promenade, sample the many cafe bars and swim in the child friendly Lagoon pools. To try out a variety of other water sports available on the lagoon contact owner for website details. In addition beaches towards Peniche are famed for surfing.
Beautiful Obidos is a 15 minute drive and is a world heritage site and medieval town; Peniche is 30 minutes away and is an active fishing town with plenty to see.

Travel: Airport: Lisbon: 72km. Perola de Lagoa is less than 1 hour from Lisbon airport or 2.5 hours from Porto airport. We feel car hire is essential though we can provide details of a reliable taxi company.

Further details: Local Supermarkets: Large supermarket (Pingo Dolce) situated at Obidos (15 mins drive) or Caldas de Rainha (E Le Clerc). Shop at Bom Successo during high season.

There are an increasing number of cafes and restaurants in the area - details are supplied in the house guide. The closest is a café at the end of Obidos Lagoon – Covao dos Musaranhos. This is open during the day and looks out onto the lagoon. They serve a good variety of snacks and meals at very reasonable rates. There are two lovely restaurants and a café at Praia de Bom Sucesso – Bica da Lagoa. Bica da Lagoa is an internet café, locals bar, coffee house and bakery all in one. They even do cocktails in the evening and is a lovely walk from the house. There is a guide in the house with all details of things to do and see, including directions.

The house is situated on a small estate of similar houses amongst the woodland of Obidos lagoon. Directly behind the house is an area which used to be woodland but was cleared in Summer 2022, initially as a fire break but began to be marketed for sale as building plots in August 2022. No building is taking place at present behind the villa. The area has been seeded with grass and is growing across the land. We continue to invest in our garden to ensure privacy and added height to the back boundary fence as well as new olive trees in late 2022.
Please note that we employ a team to look after the pool and garden, they will arrive when they want to work, usually knock on the door to announce themselves, the pool is usually cleaned on Mondays, garden can be any day depending on weather and how much garden growth there has been. The pool and garden company look after many homes in the area and it is unfortunately not possible to be more specific about the timings in advance.

Excellent Villa
Great villa in good location for a family holiday. It has three large bedrooms and could easily sleep 6-8 if you don't mind sharing a bedroom. The swimming pool is roughly 4m x 6m and can be warmed up if you need. The barbeque is large and powerfull and can quickly cook large steaks & fish. The kitchen is well stocked, the oven and hobs all worked fine. Nearby (5 min drive) there is the lagoon where you can rent pedallos, Kayaks, Bikes, Windsurfers or swim. The beaches are large, clean and pretty, but the water is cold (atlantic ocean) - if you want to swim, head for the lagoon or use the pool. Lisbon is roughly 1 hour drive. Peniche is ~30 minutes drive where you can rent a boat to go fishing or catch a boat to go to Berlengas for a day trip. There are not many restaurants nearby, but there are two good ones within 5-10 minutes drive. Alternatively for 20-30 minutes drive to Obidos or Peniche you have many restaurants. You will need a car - the villa has its own parking spot. Excellent villa!!

Beautiful property and swimming pool great
The property was well presented, spacious and we enjoyed our stay here. It was a little remote and you really need a car to get around, even for local restaurants. The pool was a good size and having access to pool toys and other toys for the kids to use was great. We paid for the pool to be heated and were glad we did, as it was quite cold outside due to our visit being in early April. We really loved the villa and it was a great price too.

Beautiful house , very spacious . Relaxing
You will definately need a car at this property, trip from the airport is about an hour very easy to find, the house was amazing plenty of room inside and outside very clean and well equipped . Very quiet area for a relaxing holiday , the weather let us down as it was cloudy & cold the majority of the time we were there which made the pool really cold. We had to cut our holiday short due to a family illness but managed to visit the lagoon on one of the only sunny mornings, which is beautiful plenty of sand and pools of water for your little ones to play safely on the beach. A few lovely restaurants in the area too within walking distance. Any problems and the reps are very helpful and only a phone call away. We would definately visit again .

About the host

Hosted by Claire Colver

Host profile image
We are a married couple with four young children, based in the beautiful Peak District in the UK. We built this villa in Portugal in 2009, and stay there ourselves as often as we can to take advantage of the sunshine and relaxed lifestyle, and rent it out to other holidaymakers when we are not using it. Although we are based in the UK, we have a very friendly and helpful local manager in Portugal who takes care of the property for us and helps with any queries guests might have during their stay. My husband and I are also available on the telephone or on email to answer queries and provide background information on the area. We love the Silver Coast region of Portugal, and in particular the beautiful area around the Obidos Lagoon/Lagoa do Obidos.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a house with a lot of space, light, its own pool and close to beautiful beaches and landscapes - this location fit the bill as it is so close to Obidos lagoon and the Silver Coast is not over developed as some other locations in Portugal now are. We bought the villa off plan so are the first owners and have been able to create the space we wanted as well as the interior look we wanted from scratch.

What makes this property unique

The outside space and private pool means that we have the best of both worlds - the option to go to the beach or lagoon, or to simply stay 'at home' for the day and the kids are equally happy. The area caters for a range of holidays, from young families wanting pool/beach to keen golfers to walkers to those interested in watersports, cycling etc. Obidos itself is a medieval fortified town with beautiful cobbled streets, shops selling local produce and an amazingly well-preserved castle and town wall.
