Amazing Villa!
This villa really is as great as it looks! I could not fault a thing. So much space here, really nicely furnished, comfortable beds, impeccably clean, wonderful views and great pool area. So much is also provided here, like beach towels, music and many essential food items. This is a great base in a quiet location within easy walking distance to a choice of restaurants, bars and the beach. So much to see by car also within easy reach to Óbidos, Sintra, Lisbon, Berlengas island and Nazare to name afew! Carlos was a very friendly and helpful host, making sure we enjoyed our time there and had everything we needed. I would definitely return and highly recommend! Thank you Carlos and Tina 😊

Great holiday!
Property was great, clean and tidy and offered everything we would expect from such a place. great views of the beach and sun all day at the back of the property. Carlos was a very good host and we could contact anytime over our stay. Pool was good and the kids were in every day, they loved it . best beach is in Peniche so recommend you try that . Local beach is better for surfers. places to visit on your stay , Obidos, boat trips from Peniche , Sintra, Overall very happy with the property and had a great time.

Wonderful stay!
We had a wonderful holiday in Praia da Areia Branca. This was our first holiday on the Atlantic Coast of Portugal - the climate is lovely, hot and sunny with a good mix of cooling sea breezes and cloudy breaks. The house is modern, luxurious, with all the expected extras like good showers, en suite, air con, laundry room, good TV and coffee machine. Beautiful view of the coast. Small but good pool, plenty of sun loungers. The village is a surf town with some good restaurants (top pick is Salty Bar for excellent service, atmosphere, good food and amazing sunsets, and 100 Pragus White Sands Club for the best fish and local fare - much better than overrated neighbour Foz!). Top tip: don't book your car in Lisbon airport- get taxi transfer to the house and book with locals Praia da Areia Branca car hire - much cheaper and you need a car as the supermarket is 3km, although there is a spar with basics 10mins walk. All restaurants 10min walk, medium uphil on the way home...worth it for the views! Recommend visiting beautiful towns of Obidos and Sintra, and for kids the local DinoKart gokarting was a real highlight. The beaches in Praia da Areia Branca are wild - good for surfing but a little dangerous for swimming. Carlos was so helpful and kind. We highly recommend visiting! We hope to return.

Beautiful house and location
This is a very beautiful house from top to bottom. It has absolutely everything you could wish for to a very high speck. We had a lovely time playing in the pool, enjoying the view,playing pool in the basement and using the house as a great base to explore the immediate village and surrounding area. We particularly enjoyed the Foz restaurant, Sintra and Obidos. Carlos is a great host and greeted us warmly and was supportive of us in any issues we raised during our stay.

Beautiful, well kept property with excellent facilities
The photographs don't really do the villa justice. It was spacious, light and airy as well as comfortable. It was very well equipped and everything functioned well. Carlos was very welcoming, and on hand if required. The villa is located on a hill 10 minutes walk from the main centre of Praia Da Areia Branca, and forms part of an area of development comprising high quality holiday homes and villas, which even in August felt very peaceful and quiet. Some of the plots in the local area were still under construction, but this did not impinge on our enjoyment of the property. Praia da Areia Branca itself has all the amenities, bars and restaurants that you would expect from a seaside location, generally of a high quality, and the village centre has a relaxed vibe which reflected the surfing schools which are locally based. Most of the general holiday makers and property owners appeared to be Portuguese and it felt like this helped to ensure the quality and value of the local restaurants, cafes and bakeries were better than you might find in more non-Portuguese dominated resorts. If you drink tea though, take your preferred English tea bags! We were a family of four with two older teenage boys and one girlfriend in tow, and all enjoyed the villa, and the freedom that it's close proximity to the local village provided. The teenagers managed a day out in Lisbon using the local bus service, as well as one to Peniche/Berlenga Islands. We also had a day out in Obidos, and managed a trip to the very local Go Kart track. Equally if you want to be lazy, the villa and swimming pool area is ideal for relaxing, and the local beach is both clean and supervised. The pool table in the basement area was also much appreciated. We would say a car was not absolutely essential, but recommended if you want a few days out, or like to have more food shopping options than the local mini-mart provides. Overall we had a great holiday and would highly recommend the property.

Fabulous villa and fantastic host. The pictures do not do the villa justice.
We stayed in this fantastic villa for 2 weeks from 7th to 21st July 2017 for a family holiday. We can't recommend this villa enough and wouldn't hesitate to return. The villa is luxurious with everything you could possibly need or want, even down to cocktail making kit and pool table. It's more than home from home, in fact we wish we lived there! The pictures really don't do the villa or the view justice. It is beautiful and very peaceful at the villa, yet not far down to the beach or to the restaurants and bars. We strongly recommend the Indian restaurant "Maharani" and " Foz" which is right on the beach. We had very good meals in both. The town isn't crowded, which was lovely but there is still night life suitable for a family holiday. Everyone we met locally were very friendly. You will need a car to get about, but it is very easy to find your way around. There is the larger town of Lourinha about 3km away with several supermarkets and a market, as well as a small supermarket in Praia da Areia Branca. The villa is in a great position for sightseeing including visiting Lisbon (about 60km), Sintra (absolutely beautiful, allow a couple of days at least) and Cascais (we did an amazing Dolphin watching trip from here) to the south, as well as Obidos and Nazare (fantastic beach and great waves) to the north. Carlos, the owner, was great at communicating before we arrived checking any needs we had, staying in regular contact and providing lots of useful information. He was very welcoming on arrival, showing us around and explaining everything to us. He couldn't do enough to make sure we had a great stay. Nothing was too much trouble. We were welcomed with an amazing large bowl of fruit and Carlos & Tina came to say good bye and wish us a safe trip home with strawberries & Portugese champagne on our last day. They are a lovely, genuine couple who made us feel very welcome. If you are looking for a luxury villa in a great location with its own pool, amazing view, everything you could need for a fantastic holiday and great hosts, you won't be disappointed with this villa! We will be back. Tracey, Paul, Dan, Hannah and Kieran (Bristol, UK)

Great accommodation and very obliging service.
The house is beautiful and has a nice view over the city-center and the beach only 10-15 minutes away by feet (there’s also another unattended beach only 7-8 minutes away). Carlos gave us a very warm welcome and was a perfect host providing a very obliging service when we had any issues (eg. with the pool-pump & filter). Also the facilities in the rooms and even the kitchen were perfect - “cook like home” if you want. Unfortunately there were some construction works around (three at the time, one at the house next to us) which disturbed the silent situation (therefore only 4 of 5 stars over all). But over all a great experience!

Prima verblijf met 3 kinderen 14 tot 18 jr. Lissabon goed te berijden voor dagtochten. Als kers op de appelmoes 2 compleet nieuwe ATB's met een goede afmontage. Fietsen langs de kustlijn is de moeite waard. Een van de weinige huisjes waar het ons in de keuken -en in de rest van het huis- aan niets ontbrak, niets is afgepast, alles meer dan voldoende aanwezig. De eigenaar Carlos is meer dan behulpzaam.
