Villa with Books, Sun, Swing Bed, Private Pool And A Spacious Garden To Enjoy


Comfortable 6 bed, self catering villa with pool in tranquil surroundings. This family villa offers a diverse reading collection, many DVDs, gaming and internet for your enjoyment inside. You should have a comfortable night's rest as the villa has a King Size Swedish Duxiana luxury bed in the main bedroom and then two further bedrooms, each with twin Duxiana beds.

The garden is one of the best in Praia D'el Rey in our view as it is both beautifully kept and well loved. As you can see from the photos, the garden is surrounded by fragrant pine trees which add to the sense of tranquillity. The pool is not fenced and therefore the property is unsuitable for infants.

The property offers good walking access to sandy beaches, spa relaxation and an award winning golf course.

The sandy beaches can be accessed besides the Marriott 5 star hotel by walking down steps or if you prefer more direct access there is car parking nearby offering walk on access.

The golf course at Praia D'el Rey has won numerous awards and presents some excellent challenges as well as being a picturesque course. You need to have a handicap to play the course, but we have found that the professional is prepared to sign you off if he can see that you are able to drive well and handle clubs well. In addition, you have access to West Cliffs Golf Links, Royal Obidos and Bom Successo golf courses. If you want to go further afield, the lovely Penha Longa golf course is available near Lisbon.

The Marriott hotel is a short walk away from the property and offers some good deals if you want to put up friends and relatives in a different environment. There are numerous restaurants and pools as well as a great spa area offering multiple relaxing treatments to high standards.

Within 15 minutes of the property, you have great access to Obidos with its ancient walled town as well as beaches at Baleal which offer great surfing opportunities.

Further afield, you are 1 hour from Lisbon with excellent shopping, nightlife and attractions for children and adults alike.

Lots more details are available in our user guide which will be provided upon completion of your booking.

Amazing property for a family holiday!
The house is great, has everything you need for a family ( 2 x kids < 10 plus parents) but is also really peaceful and a wonderful location to get some rest in the sun, when the kids allow! With there being space for 6 would be great for larger families or grandparents joining.

Comfortable villa
We stayed here for a month and had everything we needed for an enjoyable holiday. The villa is very well equipped for a holiday rental, a lot of thought has gone into this to make it so. The beds are comfortable and we had plenty of clean linen and towels. The property manager, Priscila and her team, looked after us very well. The highlight for us was the very quiet and secluded garden which we found very relaxing. The heated pool was a bonus. We would love to return one day.

Fabulous holiday house
A welcoming, relaxed holiday house great for the family. The pool was fantastic, a great size and with some accessories available the children (& us!) had many hours enjoying the water. The garden is beautiful, the loungers and swingbed comfortable and perfect for relaxing. We very much appreciated the books, games and table tennis, too. Only negative would be for families with younger children -the master bedroom was a distance away from the two other bedrooms so may not be suitable for all. Also the only local shop was very small and closed on the Sunday and Monday, so we regretted not stopping at a supermarket on our way from the airport. The information provided by the hosts was very useful and detailed, we definitely took on quite a few suggestions. Thank you for a great holiday venue!

Family stay with teenage children
The property is in a great location, has a lovely outdoor space, and is plenty big enough for a family with all the facilities you could need. However, this could be a fantastic property with a little TLC. The property is quite tired and there are a couple of areas which could benefit from a deep clean, the sofas and chairs inside and the outside seat covers for example. When we arrived the property smelt damp inside which took a few days of airing the property to remove the damp smell, which was a shame. The pool has lots of small tiles missing, however it is a great size pool and we paid extra to have it heated which was very nice. Overall we had a good time and the property is nice but as mentioned could be fantastic.

We have just finished another wonderful stay at our favourite property in Portugal. It’s great to arrive after our travels to the home away from home along with the beautiful heated pool which which my kids love. The gardens are stunning & wonderful to wake up to the lovely bird song. As always we enjoyed the golf, kids did surfing and we had lovely meals out in our favourite restaurants nearby along with Pizza nights at the pool with our new favourite pizza place - the Funky Donkey. We are already looking forward to next year!!

The property is clean and well equipped. It's in a quiet area and we made a lot of use of the great pool area. There is lots of things for children to do with Xbox, board games, waterboarded etc. The service team in particularly Ana were great when we had any queries. Highly recommended.

Another fabulous stay in our favourite villa
We are just back from our wonder week in this fabulous villa. This is our fourth stay here over the years and the standard is still as high as always. It really is a home away from home and all the little touches make such a difference to all of the members of our family- 2 parents with our 11 and 12 year old kids. The pool area and garden are stand out - so lovely and private. Four excellent golf courses within a short drive. We spent many days up on the beautiful beach in Balael but most of all we loved our time relaxing and swimming in the pool. We had a good combination of eating out and cooking in the very well equipped kitchen. Both the owner and the property are very good to deal with- super quick responses and always so helpful. It was so nice to come back to the familiarity of this beautiful Villa after the pandemic and see that the standards were higher then ever. We will be back again next year for sure!!

Perfect family holiday villa
We’ve had a fabulous family holiday. We are a family of 5 with children ages 9,16 and 20. The Villa is very roomy and has everything you could need to have a very comfortable stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and playing table tennis. There is a wide range of games and entertainment provided. There is loads to do within easy reach. The villa has many delightful touches that make it a home from home. There is a lovely outdoor seating area, comfortable sun loungers and a swing seat. We couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

Impressive property, excellent size pool, great touch by having a swan float in the pool.
The villa was absolutely superb. Could not fault it. The pool was of a great size, and there was plenty of room to sunbathe on the lovely loungers and swing bed. The villa was well equipped with everything you could wish for. Very clean and well maintained. Things that did come up with the surrounding area is that you definitely need a car. Without one you would be totally stuck. Anything you needed for example, somewhere to buy water or go to a restaurant, we’re not accessible by walking. Also, the signage in the complex was very obscure, the place definitely needs better signposting. There was also very limited information of recommendations of where to eat and what to do in areas around Serra del Rai. Fortunately we met a lovely lady working in the main reception and told us of where to go in the surrounding areas and what we could expect to find. Other than that we were completely in the dark of what to do in that area and what was near by. We had to consult google of restaurants nearby and rely on reviews. Information should be at hand to advise people what towns are nearby and what we could expect to find there. For example, completely by chance, we went for dinner near Peniche and we noticed there was some sort of Fete there. But we totally missed it because we didn’t know anything about it. Events in the surrounding areas should definitely be advertised so holiday makers can enjoy events like these if they do wish.

Lovely, clean, fully equipped villa.
We had a very enjoyable stay in this villa which is situated in a quiet and private garden. Close to the beach, Marriott Hotel, golf club house and tennis courts - all of which we frequented regularly. We were very well looked after by the local Neighbour Client Manager during our stay, nothing was too much trouble and any queries we had were answered promptly. We look forward to returning soon.

Staying in the house could have been great if not for the terrible humidity and very unpleasant smell as a result. There was very high humidity in the house and very unpleasant smell, especially in the two bedrooms. We could not keep our clothes in the wardrobes because the smell was even stronger there. The house was large and spacious, well- equipped. The shops were far from the place so car is essential.

A very nice stay in Praia D'El Rey
The house was very nice, and exactly as advertised. Vast, clean, well equipped, a beautiful swimming pool and an exceptional garden. We really appreciated its proximity to the sea, allowing for walks. The region is very pleasant. A very nice friendly owner and we wish to thank him very much for all the information he gave us before our stay. Bad point : a real estate agent completely absent on site. Fortunately we didn't have any major problems, we only contacted them once and managed to resolve the problem ourselves. This quality of service on site does not meet the requirement of a property of this type and at this rate.
