About this property

With a typical Portuguese look, its characteristic blue shutters and in a wonderful, peaceful surrounding, this spacious retreat is only 45 mn from the beach and the coast, 54 km to Fatima by highway and a short drive to the historical city of Santarém (20 km). If you are a cosmopolite person, and you like cultural activities, shopping, dining, and lots of activity, Lisbon is just 46 km away by highway!
From the huge green lawn, to palm trees, olive or pine trees, the garden is a beautiful place to rest or sunbathe, just enjoying the calm and an exceptional view on the valley. If, in winter, you like the warmth of a wooden fireplace, just enjoy this view through the large window doors of the comfortable different rooms.

Excelente para todas as idades

Pelo terceiro ano passámos uma semana de verão na casa do Senhor João e correu tudo como esperado. Desta vez com algumas crianças e o espaço cumpriu como devia. Muita área para brincadeiras, casa com todas as condições para as acolher e um estado impecável à chegada. Anfitrião e pessoal de apoio de uma simpatia incrível, como ainda há poucos. Quer venham só com amigos ou com família, esta casa fará com que se sintam em Casa.

A wonderful, peaceful getaway

Our party of 10 were thrilled to stay in this pretty, super-clean and spacious property. We were humbly welcomed by the owner, Joao, who is a total gentleman and only wanted the best for our stay. Nothing was too much trouble to ask from him and his nephews. The property has wonderfully peaceful surroundings, a beautifully tended garden and veg plot (by the lovely & cherry Deolinda) and a good sized inviting pool. The kids enjoyed all the nooks and crannies to explore the sprawling landscape as well as the use of the pool toys/floats/noodles. Not forgetting the Dogs, Spike and Brownie - oh how they were doted on and cuddled, daily. They are kenneled and looked after by carers but you can release them if you are dog lovers. The kitchen has everything you could want for and is fully equipped. It was the heart of the home, for us. We made full use of that as we were entirely self catering although there are a couple of eateries in the local village as well as a little shop that has all the basics you might need including a butcher, fresh rolls and groceries. The rooms were cool and comfortable to sleep with the option of air con and/or extra blankets if you needed them. Towels are provided plus pool towels which helps reduce weight in your baggage. Plus. With the access to a washing machine, you can clean your clothes throughout your stay; again, reducing your packing of many clothes! Asked if we would choose this property again? ABSOLUTELY YES!

Lovely Easter stay with a warm welcome from the host on arrival. Property felt like home away from home and the pool was a big success with the kids. All facilities and equipment were stocked and readily available.Enjoyed some lovely BBQs and outdoor dining. Only slight downside was the neighbours dogs barking during the nights. Big thank you to the host and Deolinda for making us feel so welcome. Would love to return soon.

Não desilude

Passámos mais uma vez as nossas férias em grupo de amigos na casa do Sr. João e novamente fomos recebidos como família. Sentimo-nos realmente em casa, quer seja pelo facto de termos todas as comodidades disponíveis em casa, quer seja pela calorosa recepção que temos sempre que encontramos o Sr. João. Condições de limpeza impecáveis, óptimo conforto para grupos grandes mesmo com bébés e um espaço exterior incrível. Recomendado 5 estrelas
