Tout y est
Avons passé d’excellentes vacances dans ce joli appartement très bien exposé. Belles prestations de la résidence intérieur/extérieur. Chacun sa chambre. Chacun sa salle de bains. Le top ! Belle piscine. Garage souterrain : pratique. Prendre ses repas sur le grand balcon vue sur le jardin et la piscine : on adore. En cette période particulière de crise sanitaire peu de monde dans la résidence, nous étions au calme. Paul notre hôte très disponible et accueillant. Gare simplement aux dames grincheuses de la résidence faisant la police à la piscine !!

Great apartment
This is a superb apartment and does not disappoint on any level, access is via a lift / elevator direct from garage or front door, the size of accommodation is fantastic and very tasteful decorated and equipped, every thing you require is on hand, the pool is large if not a bit cold, sun beds and towels provided, it is located in a quiet area however not far from local amenities, a car is essential to explore surrounding villages, shops and restaurants, Paul was very helpful and has lots of local knowledge. We would highly recommend this apartment to families, or couples with relatives, it is the perfect exploring location.

Seaside in São Martinho
As a family of six, with four older teenagers we had a wonderful week in Denise and Paul’s property in São Martinho. The apartment had everything you could possibly need and was immaculate. The pool was clean and quiet, enjoyed by all of us even though the weather was cooler than usual. São Martinho is the perfect base for exploring the area but has plenty of activities to offer if you prefer to stay in one place. The underground garage also made parking easy . A fantastic place to stay.

Fantastic Penthouse with great Pool
we had a wonderful week in a great penthouse. Paul and Denise are very friendly and supportive hosts. Pool is great and so is the beach. You can both swim in the Atlantic and the pool, but please be aware that both are not heated. :-) The way to the beach is not too far (was part of my morning running tour), but you might want your kids to walk on their own. Unfortunately there are no bikes to rent in Sao Marthinho (at least not End of June, where we have been there), so we usually took the car to the town and the beach. Apart from that everything was fantastic, you can also do a lot of day trips to mainy scenic places around. So we really enjoyed our vacation and for would like to stay again in this great penthouse next time we are in Portugal, if we are accepted as guests again.

Wonderful place!
For our first trip to Portugal we stayed for 10 days with Paul and Denise and had a great time with nice weather, so we could also use the pool. The appartment is hugely spacious, well equipped and spotlessly clean exactly as in the pictures. Apart form the regional sites (Obidos, Peniche, Nazare, Alcobaca) we made several day trips to Lisbon and even to Porto which is easy reachable in just over two hours. Communication was always perfect, Paul is an awesome host and we definitely would like to come back and stay with him again!

Paul et Denise sont des gens adorables qui vous mettes, avec beaucoup de plaisir, à disposition un appartement génial au 2iéme étage d'une petite résidence. Le tout est d'une propreté irréprochable. C'est dans ce contexte que vous passez des vacances reposantes et agréables au possible, que vous oubliez que l'océan au Portugal n'est pas très chaud et que vous vous dites " Il faut que je revienne ". Merci Paul et Denise de votre gentillesse et A+, je l'espère. Gabriel et Marie-José

Superb Property in nice quiet location
A really lovely apartment in a nice complex just outside of the main town. Paul and Denise have thought of everything and I can honestly say there wasn't any point where we said "we wish there was a ..." as it was there. Beautifully decorated, clean and furnished to a high standard. The only thing missing for us was the weather, and we can't really hold them responsible for that! Around a 15/20 minute (leisurely) walk into the centre, which in our opinion was perfect. Close enough to walk in of an evening, far enough away to not be disturbed. The pool area was lovely and the balcony really does catch the sun all day (when it finally put in an appearance)! The Town is a 'typical' sea side resort, with lots of restaurants offering fresh fish and meat and a fantastic Gelataria with Ice cream's the size of your head - if that's your thing - we were there most evenings.... A lovely clean beach, with nice 'soft' sand, but we didn't actually really venture down there during the day, so cannot comment further. Also a great location to explore from, a car really is a must (in our opinion) especially if the weather isn't so great. A couple of Unesco world heritage sites pretty much on the doorstep. Paul and Denise are on hand if you have any queries and or problems and really couldn't have done any more than they did to make our stay a comfortable and memorable one. Thank you.

Comfortable, clean, spacious, what's not to like!
Wanted to give 4.5 stars, feel mean not giving the full 5. Very nice apartment on the whole but with some minor niggles. Outside furniture could be more comfortable cushions required for table seating. Missing a microwave in the kitchen. Some light bulbs required replacement. Electric breaker trips occasionally although we were warned it'd happen and a torch is thoughtfully provided. Other than that absolutely no issues and would return and definitely recommend. Very nice.

Beautiful apartment in a lovely part of Portugal
The apartment is very stylish and comfortable with every amenity for a great holiday. The secure underground parking with lift to the apartment was very useful also. There are many wonderful beaches close by and lots of restaurants of every type to choose from. Sao Martinho, five minutes away has a long , sandy beach and the beach at Salir is just a few minutes drive also. Foz do Arelho, Peniche, Obidos, Nazare and the wonderful Sitio are well worth a visit as well as many other places mostly within a 30 -40 minute drive. Denise and Paul are very welcoming and are only a phone call away should there be a problem. We highly recommend this apartment and would love to return to explore more of this area.

Lovely apartment, nice place, fab weather.. what more could you ask for?!
Two of us lolled around in Paul and Denise's lovely large, modern and spotless apartment for 10 days and really relaxed. Everything was super clean and comfortable and the apartment was secure and very well equipped with excellent WIFI. There's bags of room and privacy if a gang of you go but also great for a couple. The wraparound balcony is super with great views of the large pool and beyond to Salir do Porto and even the sea. We appreciated the lift (!) and the underground parking. We also thought the apartment probably had the best location in the small complex. It's easy to get to, just a stone's throw from the A8 and Lisbon and within easy driving distance of Nazare. Among other places, we also went to Salir do Porto and Foz do Arelho, lovely, and especially liked Sao Martinho do Porto out of season...quiet and really sweet little place. Plus Paul went the extra mile and helped us as we wrestled with the collapse of Monarch so thanks again!

Luxury Apartment, highly recommended!
We found the apartment was well located for exploring places nearby (we had a car and particularly loved Nazare and Obidos) but in a quiet area with a lovely pool and just a short walk from the sea front and many bars/restaurants. It was spacious inside to a high spec, comfortable and homely with large rooms and immaculately clean. The wrap around balcony was also great as you could follow the sun around. We found it very well equipped and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for a holiday. The owners are friendly and helpful too, thanks Paul & Denise, hope to see you again in the future!

5 Star Spacious Apartment with lovely Pool
We had a wonderful stay in Paul and Denise's apartment right from the start when Paul met us at the nearby Hotel. The Apartment was lovely and spacious with all mod cons available especially the wi-fi for our Teenagers. The Apartment, General Areas and the Pool were very clean and well maintained. We will be back to stay here and would highly recommend both this Apartment and Sao Martinho do Porto

About the host

Hosted by Paul Brown

Host profile image
We had been looking to buy a property in Portugal for about 4 years, when late one October afternoon in 2010, we drove into Sao Martinho do Porto and saw the sun shining on the beautiful shell-shaped bay and immediately thought "this is the place". We sat and had a beer in a bar overlooking the bay and, once the stunning sunset appeared before our eyes, that was definitely it - we decided to buy a place here straightaway!! It took our breath away!! We signed up for a Penthouse Apartment in a small complex that was under construction, overlooking open countryside, which was completed in 2015 and, having stayed there many times, we are delighted with it. It really is a stunning apartment which we have furnished and equipped to a very high standard. You will love it!!

Why they chose this property

Beautiful shell-shaped bay and small fishing harbour. Easy access from Lisbon Airport via A8 motorway (55 minutes). Close proximity to some amazing places of historical and cultural interest such as Alcobaca, Batalha, Leiria, Fatima and Obidos. Short distance to several superb 18 hole golf courses. Lastly, the wonderful local Portuguese people who make everyone feel very welcome. Come and enjoy!!

What makes this property unique

There is a real sense of spaciousness and luxury in the apartment and the fact that we have 3 bathrooms means that all our guests have the convenience of their own privacy. Every room has patio doors which open out onto the wraparound balcony which offers wonderful views of the open countryside, the sand dunes at Salir do Porto and the Atlantic Ocean as well as attracting the sunshine all day. The kitchen is a completely separate room with it's own dining area meaning cooking and eating does not interrupt the peace and tranquility of the lounge. Wonderful large swimming pool beneath our lounge balcony. Close to all amenities yet far enough away from the busy seafront to enjoy the peacefulness of the countryside. Underground parking.
