I have provided guests with recommended restaurants, local wines and places of interest as well as the wide choice of sporting activities available; golf, fishing, sailing, surfing, horse riding and more.

Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We bought our lovely apartment three years ago. It was difficult not to! The views provide an ever changing scene from day to day and entertain us constantly. We are close to excellent restaurants and bars so do not have to use the car to eat and drink locally. We are close to the village and village life, again within walking distance which enables us to get all our immediate provisions from the butcher, baker and small supermarkets as well as a coffee. Being so close by car to the town of Caldas da Rainha, I love to shop in its market place where almost every day I can buy local cheeses, olives, fruit and vegetables, flowers and plants and even a wicker basket! We are so close to so many places of interest, fun and culture that we felt we had to buy this wonderful apartment.
Unique benefits of the property
The view from the apartment is spectacular as it not only has uninterrupted views of the ocean; looking across to the Berlinga Islands and Peniche but also you can while away peaceful hours viewing the Obidos lagoon. Our terrace extends round three sides of the apartment and is large enough to follow the sun all day long and still remain in the shade if you wish. It really is only a couple of minutes from the beach providing either fun for all or romantic strolls on the sand. This is not only an area for the summer months, we have been lucky to enjoy sunshine throughout the year and still the bars and restaurants remain open. The market for all your produce is always available so getting the taste of the region is never a problem for you.
