About this property
Private Condominium, 400 Metres From The Beach, 2 Minutes from Market And Shops
Beautiful, bright and airy 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom corner apartment in a private condominium with two terraces (35ft and 22ft long) peacefully situated with lovely views over local countryside, yet just two minutes from the friendly local market and shops, and 400 metres from the beach, it's a wonderfully relaxing place to spend your holiday. The double rooms have Super-King size beds. All bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and drawers. Each room has fans, surround sound, electric shutters (providing complete darkness for sleeping if required), and patio doors onto the terraces. There are tables and chairs on the terraces. In the lounge there is WIFI, Smart TV, DVD player with memory stick capability and DVD library, selection of board games. There are Leather sofas (one a sofa-bed), a comfortable leather recliner with matching footstool and a dining table which seats 8 before being extended. The Master bathroom has a hydro-jet shower and bath, the en-suite has a walk-in rain-shower. There is a fully equipped kitchen and double bay underground garage with lift to all floors. Also parking bays outside the building. There is a secure garden with heated pool which slopes at one end to give a shallow area for little ones, wooden sundecks to three sides, poolside WC/showers and play area for little ones on a rubberised surface. We have sun-loungers in garage for your exclusive use. There is an entry-phone system. We have a high chair and a travel cot. An hour from Lisbon, Sao Martinho is a friendly, relaxed community with a safe, sheltered beach and plenty of nice cafes and restaurants, which are all very good value. (It used to be the holiday destination of the Portuguese Royal Family). It's still a popular choice for Portuguese people and is considered 'real' Portugal. The south end of the beach is a nature reserve with a boardwalk around to the next village. In summer there are lifeguards and shade tents on the beach, water sports, bike rental on the prom, and often entertainment on the green. It makes an excellent base for visiting interesting places like Obidos, Sintra, Fatima, Alcobaca etc. Surf beaches are close by, as are golf courses such as the award-winning Praia del Rey, Bom Successo and Royal Obidos. Also nearby - Historical sites and old palaces, riding, surfing, body-boarding, sailing, walking, paragliding, canoeing, caving, golf, bowling, waterpark, paddle-boarding, adventure parks, cinema, fishing. There is even a dinosaur coast and an old Roman city. The apartment has a Portuguese Tourist Board Licence

Très bel appartement (très grand) dans une très belle résidence. Une grande place de parking en sous sol et piscine chauffée.
On peut aller au front de mer à pieds, ce n'est pas loin et c'est facile. Sao Martinho est une très jolie station balnéaire. Je recommande

Buena ubicación, espacio tranquilo para desconectar de las grandes ciudades.
Casa amplia y bien equipada.
Buena comunicación en general con el propietario y disposición de Nicole.
Tuvimos un pequeño incidente con la electricidad y enseguida Nicole estuvo a nuestra disposición para intentar solucionarlo.
Este es el 5° año que viajamos a Portugal en estas fechas y cada año me enamoro más de sus lugares.

Apartamento a cerca de 10 min da praia, a pé, bastante espaçoso, bem decorado e super bem equipado (inclusive possui um berço e uma cadeira alta para o bebé comer).
As divisões são todas climatizadas mas não estão disponíveis os comandos, no entanto a temperatura é agradável e não foi necessário.
Supermercado, mercado e restaurantes próximos.
A comunicação com os proprietários foi excelente!
O único "se não" é mesmo o gradeamento das varandas que não é de todo apropriado para crianças pois são autênticas "escadas".
Recomendamos!

Dear Hilario
I have checked with our apartment manager and she confirms that the temperature was such that no air conditioning was needed, but she did explain that there was a problem with the air conditioning and that is why we had provided fans in the rooms. The car park remote controls are currently being repaired (everything is delayed due to covid) but the car park is accessible from the building. Like many outdoor pools, the pool is maintained at 28 degrees to ensure it is refreshing but doesn't get too cold. I am pleased that you were happy with everything else in the apartment.

I’m sorry you had some problems with the water pressure, which our apartment manager has had fixed. The air conditioning needs a repair so we bought fans for the rooms. Thankfully, the apartment usually stays cool.

Não recomendo
Ar condicionado estava bloqueado, lugar de garagem não me sabiam dizer qual era por isso não tinha, limpeza do apartamento não estava em condições ( em especial a loiça ) e para terminar em grande no dia da saída entraram pessoas sem me avisar e sem se identificar aos berros em inglês a dizer que tinha-mos de sair. Não recomendo.

Dear Joao
I was surprised to read your review as we haven’t had a bad review in 12 years. I’m sorry if the guests before you didn’t wash up properly. That was not nice of them.
The details of the garage are in the information I sent you before your arrival, so I am not sure why you had trouble locating it. Our apartment manager also knows where it is.
The housekeeper says she didn’t shout - she also speaks Portuguese, so I don’t know why she’d speak English to you. I’m afraid I can’t comment further on this.
It appears that the air con unit on the roof was tampered with. I have asked our apartment manager to have it repaired. I am sorry it wasn’t working properly.
Regards
Audrey

Muito agradável
O apartamento é muito bom e está muito bem equipado. A piscina apesar de pequena é muito agradável e aquecida, peca apenas pelo exagero de cloro, não é possível abrir os olhos dentro de água. O parque infantil está um pouco perigoso precisando de uma intervenção rápida.
O anúncio indica a praia a 200m mas não é. Demoramos uns 10 min a pé, são pelo menos uns 500/600m, é com 2 crianças pequenas ficou complicado. Ao contrario do indicado também não tem wi-fi. Tem apenas um router vodafone onde pode colocar um cartão comprado numa loja perto. As divisões são todas climatizadas mas não estão disponíveis os comandos, pelo que é como se não existisse AC. No entanto a temperatura é agradável e não teriam sido necessários. O apartamento no geral está muito bem equipado e não falta nada, mesmo cadeira alta para bebé.

Another great holiday!
We returned to this flat having enjoyed our holiday last Easter. The flat is in a quiet, residential area a short walk from the bay and town. It is a pleasant walk through the old town to the beach. The flat is clean, spacious and comfortable.
There is a good range of bars and restaurants within walking distance. We liked Cafe Rosa for a pre-dinner drink as it is friendly and not touristy. The Casa restaurant is good for a special meal. Gaivota (Seagull) is ideal for a lighter and cheaper meal. Foz do Arelho is lovely at sunset and the drive is very spectacular. We will certainly go again.

Super spacious apartment in a great location
We had a super time here. There was plenty of space for the four of us (all women 60+). We all loved San Martinho and the surrounding area and would stay here again. Thanks so much for the use of this lovely apartment.

About the host
Hosted by Audrey Ellis
We are British, and worked abroad for many years as my husband, Adrian, is a hotel manager.
Why they chose this property
We love going to Sao Martinho. The town is so friendly and relaxing, yet we've never been bored as there are so many interesting places to visit within an hour's drive, including a number of world heritage sites and even a dinosaur coast. There are also lots of lovely beaches. It's an easy drive from Lisbon and there are lots of good restaurants at exceptional value. The bay is almost fully enclosed, making it the safest and warmest in Portugal. The Silver Coast is different from the Algarve - still relatively 'undiscovered', sophisticated yet charming, and not full of crowds. It's where the Portuguese like to go on holiday. In the area there's golf, water sports, a wine route and even a chocolate festival! We hope you enjoy it too!
What makes this property unique
Our apartment is on a corner of the building and isn't directly overlooked. The sun shines onto the kitchen terrace in the morning, so we love to eat breakfast in the sun, overlooking the garden and countryside, but as the sun moves round to the other terrace in the afternoon, the apartment always stays cool. The pool is heated from April to October, so the refreshing sea breezes don't make the water too cool to swim and it's open all year round. There's also a WC and shower room by the pool. It's so convenient for the charming and friendly local market and shops and it's only 400 metres to the beachfront and restaurants, meaning no-one has to drive when going out in the evening.
