About this property

Spacious, modern, comfortable villa with lagoon view, pool & close to the beach

The first stunning thing about notices on arrival is the beautiful wide view of the Obidos Lagoon. A view to be admired both from the house with its full glass front as from the front garden where one can relax in the sun all day. Too much sun? Retreat to the patio at the back of the house, light the fireplace and enjoy your bbq. Or float around lazily in the infinity swimming pool (shared).
One will find the house light, spacious and comfortable. There is a large sofa where one can watch television, just Netflix (please use own account). Prepare a nice meal in the fully equipped kitchen that has an oven, microwave, toaster, filter coffee maker, all utensils and cookware needed and a dishwasher. Serve the meal or bbq at the large dining table not just having to remove ones laptops & board games.
On the other hand why cook? Since there are a lot of restaurants, pubs & beach clubs to enjoy a very affordable meal. It only takes 5 minutes to walk to the city center and 20 minutes to walk to the beach. This magnificent beach with on one side the wild Atlantic Ocean where the sun sets splendidly and on the other side the Obidos Lagoon where one can swim safely. To return to the house at the end of the day, suntanned and tired in a pleasant way, to wash in one of the 2 bathrooms upstairs or the one in the basement and to fall asleep in a comfortable bed. To wake up the next morning to see the sun rise over the Obidos Lagoon from the bedroom window to greet another sunny day in Foz do Arelho.
Like to be active other than swimming in the lagoon, building sand castles or playing football on the beach? Go wave surfing! There is a surf school in the city center. Go surfing or sailing! There is a surf school near Obidos Lagoon. Go walking! There is a footpath along the coast. Go mountain biking! There is a bike rental in the city center. Mind you there are hills to climb.
Or visit nice places around such as Nazare (largest waves of Europe), Baleal (surfers paradise), Obidos (medieval city with spectacular walk on city wall), Caldas de Rainha (daily fruit market / supermarkets / shopping), Alcobaca (monastery) . A day trip to beautiful Lisbon is also possible, a 90km drive, or to other interesting places like Sintra, Cascais and Estoril. Enjoy your well deserved holiday!

Everthing was perfect !
A villa with a beautiful view of the lagoon, not far from touristic places and the beach in which children and adults can have fun: places that enable everybody to spend good holidays in family. A high quality villa that feels like home:)

Great location within an easy stroll to the lagoon and cafes - and central for further exploration.
A lovely family home with all amenities. The house manager was very helpful. Great draft through the house windows which negates need for ac.

Great house with view on the lagoon
Central location between the beach and the village. The house is spacious and well equipped. Perfect for families with baby chair, cot, washing machine… The communication with Annette and Teresa was smooth and they were really helpful. We would definitely come back!

Fabulous apartment
Loved our stay here! The property was really spacious and plenty big enough for 2 adults and 4 teenagers. The views over the lagoon were stunning and there's a great boardwalk walk down to the Atlantic beach and and an easier walk home via the lagoon (and some lovely bars!). We appreciated having the 2 outdoor areas - the front area for sunbathing and the back area for bbqs and eating. Good location to explore from. We regularly went to Peniche to surf (approx 30mins drive) and loved visiting the beautiful medieval town of Obidos. The manager, Theresa, was very friendly and always happy to help. I would recommend having a car at this property.

View over the lagoon
This is our 3rd visits to Foz, different rentals each time. The villa is spacious and well located near all the facilities of Foz with a view of the lagoon. The beach is 20 minutes walk where there are restaurants. The complex has 6 villas and only 3 of these were occupied during our stay. Annette, the owner, is prompt at responding to any queries you may have.

Great villa in a great location
The villa was very well equipped and comfortable. We worried about having no air conditioning but it was fine even in July when there was a heatwave throughout Portugal. The sea breeze blew through the bedrooms upstairs keeping it cool. There's lots to do nearby, but you do need a car. The host was great at communicating and there is a local housekeeper to help with any questions. There was only 4 of us staying, but even with 6 it would be spacious. Definitely recommended.

Großzügiges Haus in guter Lage
Wir haben unseren Urlaub in Foz sehr genossen, das Haus bietet genügend Platz für 6 Personen, ist mit allem, was nötig ist ausgestattet, hat einen schönen Pool (gemeinsam genutzt von insgesamt 6 Parteien, zum Zeitpunkt unseres Aufenthalts waren allerdings nur 3 der 6 Reihenhäuser belegt) und einen herrlichen Aublick auf die Lagune, insbesondere von den Schlafzimmern im ersten Stock. Der Atlantikstrand ist in ca 15 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen und ist fantastisch, für kleiner Kinder eignet sich die Lagune sehr gut zum Baden. Foz ist bestens geeignet als Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in die Umgebung, es gibt viel zu entdecken. Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert!

Entspannte Tage am Meer
Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet und hat uns als Familie mit Teenagern eine entspannte Zeit ermöglicht. Im Haus ist nahezu alles vorhanden, was man im Ferienhaus braucht. Es gibt vor dem Haus und im "Hinterhof" Sitzplätze im Freien, eine gute Grillmöglichkeit, funktionierendes W-Lan. Der Check-In und die Kommunikation im Vorfeld haben reibungslos geklappt. Der Ort selber bietet nicht viel aber immerhin einen Mini-Supermarkt und einen Bäcker. Wer etwas Atmosphäre mag, muss ein paar Kilometer fahren, z.B. nach Obidos. Interessante Ausflugsziele sind gut zu erreichen (Bathala, Fatima, Alcobaca z.B.), es gibt einen schönen Wanderweg entlang der wilden Küste. In der von uns gebuchten Zeit waren die Strände an der Lagune und am Meer sehr gut besucht. Schon am Morgen gab es z.T. keine Parkplätze mehr. In einer Viertelstunde ist der Weg gut zu bewältigen, wer aber kleine Kinder hat und viele Strandutensilien braucht, tut sich damit vielleicht schwer. Toll sind dafür für Familien mit Kindern die Bademöglichkeiten in der Lagune. Der Pool am Haus ist schön und gut gepflegt. Einziges Manko ist die (vielleicht nur in der Hochsaison?) vielbefahrene Straße vor dem Haus. Sie ist der Zubringer zur Umgehungsstraße und wird quasi von allen Strandbesuchern zur An- und Abfahrt genützt.

Großzügige und tolle Wohnung/Haus
Wir waren begeistert und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Dem Reihenhaus fehlt es an nichts. Windgeschützter Innenhof mit großem Grill. Wunderbarer Blick auf die Lagune aus allen Zimmern. Die Einrichtung ist lässt keine Wünsche übrig. Unsere Jungs (3) und wir(2 Erwachsene) konnten täglich den überraschend großen Pool genießen. Gute Restaurants gibt es reichlich in laufnähe. Wir würden definitiv wiederkommen.

Ein schön eingerichtetes Haus mit allem, was man im Urlaub braucht!
Das Haus legt ruhig und doch in fußläufiger Entfernung zu Ort und Strand. Wir haben uns zwei Wochen dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Aufteilung ist auch für zwei Familien gut geeignet. Besonders von dem Balkon vor den Schlafzimmern hat man einen wunderbaren Blick auf die Lagune. Wir waren mit einem Kleinkind dort und auch für die Kleine war alles vorhanden.
