This adorable home is in an incredible location, but the best part of our stay was the friendly, knowledgeable host, Maria. From our initial interaction and throughout our 4 night stay, Maria provided information that enhanced our trip. She provided recommendations and tips that surpassed any guidebook. Obidos is a magical village, our stay was ideal.
We were very happy with the location of this unit. Right inside the castle walls of Obidos and very close to everything.
The property manager was very responsive to any questions and requests we had prior to arriving however, we were given an incorrect address and spent a lot of time trying to find the unit. Maria was quick to respond to assist us, but it was disappointing to not have correct information from the beginning.
Great location within the walls, very comfortable home. Maria was v helpful with orientation and finding a restaurant for our anniversary dinner. The complimentary wine was a nice touch. We ventured out of Obidos during the day to avoid the tourist crush. Early morning and evenings spent exploring Obidos were great including walking the walls. You pay for parking in the main lots though can search for on street parking near the walls or find a municipal lot apparently. Hope we make it back soon!
Casa Maria is a five star property within the walls of charming Obidos. Three bedrooms, 2 baths, and a spacious living areas means you and your family will have an excellent holiday. The apartment is beautifully appointed and super comfortable, and we really appreciate that it is dog friendly. The location is right in the center of the walled city, close to good restaurants (especially right next door), good shops, and romantic strolls. Park your car in the public lot just outside the main gate and the apartment is a mere five minute walk. For authentic European charm and an upscale rental property, you can’t beat Casa Maria. And Maria is gracious, helpful, responsive, and very kind.
The place is lovely. It was so charming and a great location to do some day trips as well. Maria is a wonderful host and can help you with whatever you might need.
Highly recommend!!
Lovely, quaint apartment on a very quiet cobblestone alley.
The owner, Maria, was very nice and friendly. The location is perfect. The apartment is old but what else would you expect in this ancient walled city. Had a great time in Obidos and short trips to nearby towns of Nazaré and Peniche.
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour.
La maison est confortable et pleine de charme.
Elle est vraiment très bien située, en centre ville.
Et Maria est une hôtesse très accueillante, qui a répondu de manière très réactive à nos sollicitations.
Nous recommandons sans réserve !
Sweet flat in an older house full of light and quiet. Away from main hustle & bustle. Highly recommended. Great place to explore and saunter through the walled town.
Nos ha encantado nuestra estancia en la casa de María, está bien situada y es muy acogedora, dispone de todos los servicios necesarios.
María es una persona atenta y está muy disponible para resolver cualquier necesidad que surja así como hacerte la estancia más agradable.
Maria was a wonderful host and the apartment was perfect for the five of us, very nice bedding, furniture and full kitchen. The apartment was well located for easy access to the beautiful town of Obidos.
Obidos is a special place and Maria's house is too. Maria and her sister Fatima were both very helpful from start to finish. The house location is perfect. Tip,.when visiting Obidos say hi to all of the locals and speaking a little Portuguese is appreciated as well. I can see why so many people want to visit Obidos and this house. Great stay.
Cozy & comfortable home in a magical place - inside the walls of Obidos. The home is filled with personal touches & Maria is an amazing host! I hope to return some day!
We had a wonderful time staying at Maria’s place in Obidos. It’s a cozy, updated house that we learned has been in the family for many years. It’s perfectly located inside the walls of the city providing access to this historic place. Maria communicated with us from the start and met us outside the city walls. She showed us where to park and then drove us through the narrow and steep streets to the house. She even had a bottle of wine waiting for us upon arrival. Would definitely stay here again.
We would recommend Maria's place and would recommend staying in Obidos.
Maria was a great host. She communicated from the beginning of the booking until the end. She arranged to meet us at a local bank and escort us to the apartment and show us where to park "outside" the wall. Maria was helpful in giving advice for places to go….clearly she loves Obidos and the surrounding area. The apartment is nice and a bit quirky. Lovely touches, flowers and a bottle of wine to greet us. I must add that we were a little disappointed when the nice outside sitting area was not as shown in the listing. Maria explained that it was under construction, but to us, it looked as if it had been under construction for a while. We would recommend Maria's place and would recommend staying in Obidos.

Two week stay in Obidos
Positives: Very interesting environment. Lots of history and culture. Lots to see. Good, and some very good, restaurants. Some shopping. Good base for exploration of surrounding areas and communities. Property was perfectly located.
Negatives: Obidos is very busy. Large crowds and lots of tourists, essentially every day. Morning until night.
Property standard was OK. Communication with the host was rapid and efficient some times, but other times it was non existent.
Overall rating: OK - good
Four adults traveled and stayed. Overall, we enjoyed our stay as it was cool to stay in a castle and walk around it. Plenty of restaurants and shops within the castle. Owner was very attentive and lives right next-door to the house.
As expected, the roads were narrow and didn’t allow us to park close to the house. Rather we parked behind a bank across the street. If anyone struggles with walking especially on cobblestones, this would not be a good place to stay for you.
Also, we stayed while Portugal was having a heat wave (temps over 100F). It was muggy and tough to sleep through the hot temperatures without air-conditioning. I imagine that on a day with temps in the 80s, this would not be an issue.
We were so fortunate to have found Maria and her picture perfect apartment in the medieval walled town of Obidos, Portugal. We were comfortable and taken in by the lovely home and natural setting. We were taken back in time yet had all the modern conveniences. The location on an out of the way side street was a quiet haven , yet only a few minutes walk from all the shops and restaurants. Maria was so helpful getting us settled, and our three days spent there stroll seem like a dream. Narrow, cobblestone streets, a medieval castle and a walk around the entire town from the top of the ancient wall are part of your everyday stay. Flowers grow all over the ancient walls. Do not hesitate to spend time in her beautiful home.
Thank you Maria, my family loved staying in your lovely property. You were so kind with all your preparations and advice on restaurants etc. We felt totally at home and cosy and were amazed how peaceful and quiet it was even though it’s in the centre of Obidos.
We can highly recommend this lovely spot!
Thank you again.
Lovely apartment in medieval Obidos. Very quaint and comfortable. The property owner was very helpful, guiding us to the apartment, and help directing us out. The apartment has everything you need!
Obidos is a beautiful city with its charm still intact. It really is a story book picture right out of the Middle Ages. That said, driving into the city is not for the faint of heart. The streets (if you can call them that) are extremely narrow better fit for donkey cart and not the family roadster. Do not rent a SUV and expect to drive to the front door (we rented subcompact and it was close at times). You are best off parking just outside the city in one of the parking lots. Maria was gracious enough to have a colleague meet us at the local bank and lead us to the house. Again, the entrance into Obidos are very, very narrow. But once you’re in, it is beautiful place to wonder around for hours, and enjoy the sights.
Reçus de façon extraordinaire par Maria dont la gentillesse est admirable.
La maison ; un petit cocon très décoré ou on se sent à l'aise, très bien équipée, rien n'y manque.
Maria, à notre service à toute heure.
Malgré un temps de Tempête, nous avons pu profiter un après midi du village de Noel d'Obidos.
Nous avons passé quatre jours merveilleux.
Un grand Merci à Maria avec muitos Beijinhos.
