The complex is on the edge of town with views from the four balconies, to the countryside and hills beyond, and yet the beach and town are just a short stroll away. For those lazy days there is a swimming pool and a tennis court to enjoy. Sao Martinho has not been over-developed and is surrounded by interesting, historical places to visit and other beautiful beaches along the coast to the north and south. The stunning shell shaped bay can be enjoyed at one of the many small bars and restaurants along the seafront. The sandy beach and calm protected waters are ideal for children and yet beyond the bay the surf awaits the more adventurous. There are many different activities available including water-sports, horse riding and mountain biking. For the golfers, there are various courses in the surrounding area.

Portugal is the cheapest Western European country so holidaymakers opt to eat out most nights. Recommended restaurants are A Casa - excellent service and fresh fish you can choose. Carvalho - on Main St in the Old Town Centre, level with the back of Hotel Atlantica - very good value. O Farol - located on the beach with the best views value. Portobellos - excellent pizza/pasta with fabulous views of the bay. Martinhos - if you are missing real home-cooked food, then this is the place to visit. Meu Jardin - Inexpensive but serves wonderful fish and steak dishes - 10 minutes drive toward Nazare. Also try Hotel Capitao for afternoon tea on the veranda. A real treat.

Guest comments
Emma - Aug 10 - We had a fabulous time in Sao Martinho! The apartment is wonderful and provided us with everything we needed and location wise it was perfect - everything was an easy distance The pool area is lovely and was never busy. All in all - it was perfect - other than we wish we had gone for longer!
Kati July 11 - we really enjoyed our stay in SMDP, the apartment was lovely, well equipped and nicely located, and worked well for our 2 families. We found the information folder extremely useful, visited the interesting towns nearby and tried many of the restaurants recommended. We will definitely recommend the apartment to our friends. Thanks again!
Chris - Aug 11 - We had a great time again - better than last year. Obidos is great - we also went to Tomar and Constancia which we would highly recommend. Tomar is incredibly pretty - Constancia is a riverside beach village with lovely bars. Thanks again, we'll be back like a shot when we get another opportunity.
