This is a huge house! As a group of 6 adults, (3 sisters and husbands) there was plenty of room inside and outside of the house for us to have lots of time together as a family group and also apart if we needed it. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfy and it was very clean. The heated pool was fantastic! There was a slight problem at the start of the holiday when the pool heating wasn't working but as soon as we contacted Charlie (the pool man) it was quickly sorted. There are loads of pool toys and a very well equipped games room. The upstairs balcony was perfect for evening drinks and the views are stunning!
Its a bit remote if you don't hire a car (we didn't want to drive, we went to relax) but Colin was very helpful in sending us information about transfers from the airport , David Taxi was spot on, he was there to collect us when we landed and again right on time to take us back to the airport.
We couldn't recommend Tony Oliveria, a local taxi driver highly enough, he's english speaking and very informative about the area. There is a local bus service which we used but there are only a couple of buses a day, so plan your trip in advance. We had some beautiful local walks through orchards and grape vines from the village, its difficult to get lost if you keep the beautiful village church in your sights! Obidos and Bombarral are both well worth visiting, apart from being beautiful, they have great supermarkets and very cheap food. The Portuguese wines are very reasonable, a 1litre carafe of very good red wine in a restaurant in Bombarral was very good value! The Buddha Eden gardens are a must to visit, so peaceful and calm and the food/wine is amazing! All in all, a wonderful relaxing holiday! Thank you Colin for all your help, before and during our trip, also to Charlie and Maria for your help whilst we were there. Obrigarda!
