Notes on accommodation
Easy parking immediately outside the complex on a quiet cul-de-sac (100 yards from the front door of the apartment). The apartment has Central Heating in all rooms and a varied selection of books and DVDs has now accumulated. Playing cards, scrabble, dominoes and backgammon are also provided.
Accessibility
Unfortunately, this property is not ideal for wheelchair access as there are half a dozen unavoidable steps to the terrace.
Outside
There are 2 communal kidney shaped pools approximately 12 metres long both with children's paddling sections plus a deeper 18m x 7m pool within the complex. The complex features a host of grassed picnic/play areas. On the apartment's own secluded and gated terrace, which overlooks one of the three swimming pools, is a large table and chairs, all 'protected' if required by a large parasol. Sun beds can be found at various points on the complex (free for use of guests). The extensive grounds also include an 18 hole 'crazy golf' course with putters and balls provided (free), tennis court/football pitch, basketball hoop.
Coast/Beach
Sao Martinho do Porto, the closest restaurants of which are just a 10 minute stroll from the complex, is a shell-shaped bay ringed by a child friendly, sandy beach with a varied selection of restaurants, cafes, bars, shops and supermarkets plus a covered market (open daily except Mondays) selling a wide range of local produce. The walk back, up the hill, may take a little longer!
Golf
Praia del Rey Golf course - voted 'European Golf Resort of the Year 2007' at the ITAGO Awards - nearby Bom Successo, Golden Eagle (near Santarem) and Campo Real (at Torres Vedros) all within a 35 minutes' drive.
Travel
Sao Martinho is approximately one hour by car from Lisbon airport (served by Easyjet, BA and TAP amongst others), or something over 2 hours from Oporto. As this is a totally self catering complex, with no drink or food sold on site, a car is pretty much a must (though there is a train station at Sao Martinho do Porto, with a service to Lisbon).
Distances
Obidos - a stunning walled medieval town which is picturesque and has many festivals and celebrations throughout the year is 15 minutes' drive away. Caldas da Rainha offers daily markets, many large supermarkets, spa and banking also within 15 minutes' drive. The popular Foz lagoon with its surf, water sports, beach bars and restaurants is about a 10 minute drive away.
Further details
Three minutes from the apartment by car is a good-sized InterMarche, which sells excellent wines from around 5 Euros for 5 litres - and food, too! It also has a cash machine.
Booking notes
To book, please check availability by email or phone. If you wish to proceed, we require a 25% booking deposit with full payment 6 weeks before arrival (both by cheque or electronic transfer). Please note that we ask our guests not to smoke in the apartment, though they may of course smoke on the patio.
Guest comments
'The apartment was great - spacious, well decorated and very well equipped. The complex is one of the nicest we've been to: the pool areas are lovely and everything was very clean and tidy. Thank you for providing such detailed travel instructions from the airport. We found the apartment with no problems whatsoever.' Mrs A Gardner.
“We had a wonderful fortnight at your lovely apartment, everything was perfect. It was very homely with all those little touches like books and DVDs Our children {young adults) didn't want to eat out very much as it was so comfortable eating alfresco on the terrace - and your well equipped kitchen made it easy!" Julie, Gordon and family.
"Superb apartment and condo, with excellent local restaurants. One thing we didn't expect was to spot 14 birds while in the complex: honey buzzard, house martin, grey wagtail, wheatear, goldfinch, small gull, collared dove, wood pigeon, blackbird, sparrow, crow, chaffinch, tern and greenfinch". M & M, Scarborough.
Owner profile
About the owner
This apartment was purchased early in 2008 by a keen amateur golfer, Ian, and Golf Professional, Alistair - plus of course their wives Pat and Sharon respectively. Alistair and Sharon have two school age children, and this was a major reason for choosing this apartment, it's just great (and safe) for kids. We are perfectly open about our reasons for buying. hopefully we can cover the costs of the apartment by letting it out and thus have free holidays ourselves!
