The property benefits from 2 car parking spaces on the plot and further 2 roadside parking directly outside the villa. The front of the property is accessible by climbing a small flight of stairs as seen by the photos so wheelchair access is difficult. May not suit people with major walking or climbing difficulties. Having said that, if access to property can be gained, the downstairs bedroom is ideal for individuals with mobility issues.
Outside
The garden is private and lawned. It can be accessed from the lounge and bedroom 3 and benefits from it own outdoor unheated private swimming pool (24m square and 1.5m depth) with its own cover. There is a patio area with sun loungers, barbecue and table and chairs. A rotary washing line is situated in the back part of the garden.
Coast/Beach
Within 5-10 mins drive from a number of beautiful beaches. The sand is soft and golden and the shorelines are unspoilt. The closest is the lagoon which is calm and surrounded by stunning woodland and a purpose built cycling track, ideal for cyclists but great for picnics, walks, sailing, windsurfing, water skiing and kite surfing. Bom successo beach is a 5 min drive as is Praia d'el Rey (Marriott hotel). Peniche and Baleal (20 mins drive) provide the best surfing in Portugal.
Golf
The Lisbon coast has been described as the emerging star of Portuguese golf and the villa is just minutes away from Bom Successo (opened in October 2009), and Praia d'el Rey (world renowned with signature holes 13, 14, 15 running along the Atlantic coastline). Within a 30 min drive are Golden Eagle (Rio Maior) and CampoReal (near Torres Vedras) and within a 1 hour drive is Quinta da Martinho and Penha Lenga. It is probably best to book in advance.

The villa is situated 72km from Lisbon airport which is less than an hour by car (transfers by taxi will cost around 95 euros). Porto airport is a 2.5 hr car journey. Car hire is essential and the best way to get around. This should be booked in advance from Lisbon. Lisbon airport does have the car rental firms on site as well.

Further details
Obidos town is a must to visit and is a 10 min drive. It is a beautiful town lined by medieval walls, cobbled streets, souvenir shops, restaurants and cafes. Obidos castle was voted one of the 7 wonders of Portugal. Try visiting it after dusk when the moonlight gives it a more romantic feel. It will be hard to miss the stalls which offer the local cherry liqueur (ginjha ) served in chocolate cups.
There are a number of banks, ATM machines and supermarkets (supermercado) which can be found in Obidos and Caldas da Rainha. The supermarket of preference is Pingo Doce which is located just outside Obidos on the way back to the villa.
Obidos is the host of a number of events and festivals throughout the year. These include the International Chocolate Festival (March), Holy week (April), Medieval Fair (July), Contemporary Art Month and Classical Music Month (May).

Why the owner chose a home in this location
My main reasons for investing in Portugal was wanting a holiday home which I could go to at a drop of a hat. With only a two hour flight, no time difference, year round sunshine and budget flights it seemed ideal. Technicalities besides, having just visited Obidos for the first time I feel like I have picked a gem! I found the Portuguese people to be so pleasant and helpful and we weren't hassled by people wanting to sell us things, so refreshing compared to my previous trips abroad. The weather for September was glorious, reaching the late 20s and we missed the summer rush which added to the tranquility and beauty. I fell in love with Obidos, tried ginjha (which was gorgeous!) and was gutted that we didn't have time to do any wine tasting. There is something here for everyone! Enjoy!
Unique benefits of the property
When we arrived at our villa it definitely had curb appeal. The steps leading up to the property and surrounding wall give it a majestic presence. As we are set above road level, the swimming pool is not overlooked so sunbathing and use of the pool can be done in complete privacy.
