Our villa is in the perfect spot on this small, top-quality development. Completed in 2007, the 11 properties share a large (38’ x 18’) pool. In its corner location, our villa enjoys an enviable, totally private patio area which catches the sun all day as well as having a fully equipped barbeque area. We are only minutes away from the safe, sandy beaches of Salir do Porto and Sao Martinho do Porto. For the more energetic, try Foz do Arelho for watersports and surfing, Praia De’l Rey for its golf course, and Nazare for its beach, vibrant night life and aqua park. The area has a rich heritage and there are many fascinating places nearby to visit; the walled, medieval town of Obidos; the World Heritage Monastery at Alcobaca; the capital city of Lisbon. In the evening, there’s a large choice of restaurants in the area, many serving the seafood caught that day.
