The Villa is absolutely amazing and wasperfect to accommodate our party of 12 ( 6 x adults/6 x children). Not a single one of our party had a bad thing to say about it and were pretty blown away to be honest.We were welcomed by our host with a tour of the Villa, every room immaculate and little touches like flowers in towels shaped like swans on each bed were a nice touch. The pool was used endlessly by the kids and adults to suit.On the second day, our host walked up with two crates of fresh fruit, veg and herbs from her own garden, which again, was a lovely touch.The lagoon and beach are a short 20 min walk from the villa which isn’t really a problem.Would advise a car for the stay though, for travel to supermarkets which aren’t in walking distance. Apart from that, a 5* villa, thank you for having us.

Wonderful villa

This is a beautiful, very spacious house, well equipped and with plenty of room to relax. It really is as good as it looks in the photos and the pool and views are particularly lovely. It’s easy to walk down the lagoon, bars and restaurants, but worth having a car for shopping and trips to unmissable local sights like Obidos and Alcobaca. We were very warmly received and would love to go back.

A wonderful find!

About an hour's drive north of Lisbon, this beautiful property is located on a hillside with spectacular views over the Obidos Lagoon, especially at night. Zenite and Albino, who met us, were delightful and could not do enough to make our stay memorable. The house is very large with two sitting rooms and kitchens; plenty of room for 10 of us and with a beautiful garden as well. The second fridge upstairs was a godsend. Everyone agreed the pool was perfect: completely non-slip surface, shallow steps perfect for tiny people (and older wobbly people!) plus some pool toys already there. Lovely beach with bars and restaurants in walking distance and a constant breeze off the Atlantic meant it was a comfortable temperature all the time. No air conditioning but we didn't need it. Ample line drying space and a superb separate barbecue area. We all loved it! Thank you Zenite, Albino and Nancy.

Great location - beautiful views

The host Zenite was wonderful - available to assist at any time. Property cleanliness was impeccable and we loved the location. It is walking distance to town and beach and a short drive for groceries. As well, we felt that this is a very safe neighbourhood. The only reason we are giving overall rating of 4 stars (vs 5) is due to some minor issues with the home that impacted our enjoyment. These include: -The upstairs kitchen was nice but had no dishes, making the bsmt kitchen a very small space to work in for 8 ppl. -There needs to be hand soap in every bathroom - there was not. Also we feel that there should be dishwashing soap and dishwasher detergent provided. It's annoying to have to go find and purchase these items on holiday. -One of the showers did not drain and in fact, when used, backed up a little causing a smell. Having said that, we did mention it to the host and it will be fixed for next year. We buddied up on the remaining showers. We should have been made aware that this was a problem before we used it ! -The pool was beautiful - however the fountains were not working and there were only 4 of the nice deck chairs, not 7 as in the pictures We understand that these are small things and if we could give a 4.8 we would. Overall we highly recommend this property - The view and sunset are spectacular, I LOVED the bbq room and the location is perfect for day visits both north and south. Zenite is a lovely host

Great villa with lots of space and character and very clean. Lovely location and superb pool. Zenite and her husband were extremely welcoming and kind throughout our two week stay. Couldn't have asked for a better break and everyone who were with us all said they had a terrific time. Would recommend this property to anyone wanting to host a larger party of friends or family for a holiday.

Amazing

We stayed in Casa Bella in Portugal. The place was spotless, homely and had everything we needed. The house itself was beautiful, bigger than the pictures show, so much space and so well equipped. The beds were really comfortable and on arrival had flowers scattered over them a lovely touch! The space outside and the pool was perfect. The outside kitchen works so well for bbqs. Zenite and Alberto, the hosts, were amazing. They kept the outside and pool really clean and Zenite popped up to check everything was ok and brought us wonderful homemade goodies, a beautiful sponge cake, veggies, salad and homemade burgers. The views over the lagoon were wonderful. It is a wonderful holiday villa which we would definately recommend to others, in fact it was just perfect in every way! Thank you Zenite and Alberto for a wonderful holiday and stay in your stunning villa, we were truely spoilt!
