There are electrically operated blinds throughout the villa which keep the house cool in the summer months and are an added security. Sorry, no pets.

Guest comments
The villa was fabulous, a real home from home and we loved everything about Portugal, including the people. The kids have worn out the pool and spent hours body boarding in the sea at Baleal. We can certainly recommend your lovely Villa which was the perfect base for a holiday in Portugal. We will defiantly be coming back! The Fahey family April 2011.
The villa was lovely, the children particularly loved the BBQ and the warm pool. Sexton Family August 2011.
We really felt at home in your lovely villa and had a great holiday. This part of Portugal is really unspoilt! Chan family September 2011

Owner profile
About the owner
The Pett family live in a small village in the Lincolnshire Wolds. We both work for local government, have grown up children and five fantastic grandchildren. We were both born and brought up in central London but over the years we have found that the further north we go the better we like it. We have settled in rural Lincolnshire and just love the space, big skies, beaches and pace of rural life.
Year purchased: 2007
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We spent a lot of time researching different areas before deciding to buy our villa on the Silver Coast of Portugal. Somehow we kept coming back to this spot and never fail to be enchanted by the area, the climate, the local food, the countryside and the beaches. This part of Portugal really is undiscovered and just so 'untouristy'. Yet it is just an hour's drive north-west out of Lisbon. You wont find any massive hotel developments along this particular coastline but you will find beautiful deserted beaches, great surfing, fantastic local restaurants, wonderful local wines, big fat sweet tomatoes and olives and of course, lovely people. We love it and we know that you will too.
Unique benefits of the property
The villa is easily located on the edge of the village of Alfeizerao, with easy access up onto the A8 highway. It is set in a private development of 5 similar properties. The location certainly fits our bill for quiet, privacy and tranquility. Yet within a few minutes we can be heading off to the medieval town of Obidos or down to Peniche to some of the best fish restaurants in the country. A gentle stroll in the morning will take you to the local bakery shop to pick up fresh croissants and eggs for breakfast. The small, charming seaside town of St Martinho with its perfect U shaped bay has a unique, atmosphere all of its own. It's a great place for children to safely run free on the beaches. They don't call it 'The Children's Beach' for nothing.
