Our Villa is in a small development in A Dos Negros very close to the lovely medieval village of Obidos. The Villa has lovely views, a shared pool and private car park/garage (usually there is plenty of room to park in front of house). It is fully furnished and well appointed with everything you would need. The villa can sleep 5 with a double bed in one room, 2 single in the other and a sofa bed in the living room. There is unlimited wifi and a smart TV..
The village of A Dos Negros is built on a hill with pretty narrow streets housing stone cottages decorated with brightly coloured painted tyres - a tradition of the village everyone seems to get involved in. Worth a wander round to see the tyre display stopping in the local cafés for a coffee. On the main street a few minutes walk you will find the local cafe with a small grocery store attached in which you will find any daily provisions you may need.
The medieval village of Obidos and larger town of Caldas da Rainha are a 5-10 minute drive away, both have a large selection of cafes and restaurants. Caldas da Rainha has daily outdoor markets and a shopping centre called La Vie along with several supermarkets. Foz do Arelho beach is around 15 minutes drive and the surf area of Peniche and Nazare are 25 minutes drive. There are several golf courses within a 30 minutes drive including the 5 star Praia del Rey resort, Bom Successo, Golden Eagle and the newly opened Royal Obidos. Fatima is a 45 minute drive.
Some cafes we would recommend are Citrus and Local in Caldas da Rainha. The food court in La Vie is excellent and in Obidos for Pizza/Italian we enjoyed XII Apostolos and Pastelaria Dom Alfonso for coffee and custard tarts. There are many excellent restaurants in Obidos such as A Novo Casa de Ramiro, Adega do Ramada, The Literary Man and and for a healthy menu try Avocado Cafe.
All linen will be provided and there is an exit cleaning fee of 75 Euro. We have a property manager in Caldas da Rainha should you require any assistance for the property during your stay.
Lisbon is just over an hours drive or you could train from Caldas Da Rainha.
“It was a great swap, we had a very nice stay at Nicky’s home near Óbidos. The house is very comfortable with a swimming pool and everything you need, perfect for a family or two couples. There are beautiful spots to explore in the surroundings. We visited Óbidos, Foz do Arelho beach, Buddha Eden Park and even a half day boat trip to the Island of Berlengas where we were so lucky to see dolphins. Communication with Nicky was excellent, thank you for hosting us. ”
“We very much enjoyed our week at the villa and the views were stunning. The book of instructions left in the property was very informative and helpful. Everything was very new and a lot of thought had gone into the furnishing and fitments. The villa was much more spacious than we expected, particularly the bedrooms with stylish beds with firm mattresses and huge wardrobes. The little village of A dos Negros was just off the A8, a quiet base within easy reach of the amazing places to visit on the Silver Coast. Thank you Nicky for a lovely swap. Valerie & Richard”
“We had a very pleasant few days at Nicky's apartment. The apartment was brand new and very tidy . It was very clean and it looked like all of the fittings were new. The apartment is in a very quite area but very close to many wonderful towns and beached. We particularly enjoyed Nazare and Peniche. The seafood in Portugal is great. Nicky was also very good to correspond with. Thank you Nicky for our stay”
