Stylish farmhouse with fabulous sun room in 4 acre valley only 7km from Obidos

This was our first stop for our two-week Portugal trip, and what a terrific way to stay. From check in to check out, both hosts Sam and Rich were friendly and accommodating without being intrusive. They made our stay extremely comfortable with a stocked kitchen, which eliminated a trip to the grocery store for jet lagged travelers. The place was even nicer than the pictures and we looked forward to returning each day to relax. We would stay here again and highly recommend to others. Thanks again Sam and Rich.

Absolutely wonderful place, spectacular views and extremely welcoming hosts. So good I'm going back for a further 4 nights

Beautiful, old, country farm that has been renovated and converted into a few private casitas that are fully appointed with anything one could need. The hosts could not be any more welcoming and gracious.

Our hosts , Sam and Rich were fabulous . Very kind and efficient . The appartement was magnificent , feeling like being at home. We had a wonderful holiday and if possible we would certainly come back at Quinta do Bom Vente. Sam and Rich , thanks for everything , you were great. Tineke and René

We stayed four nights at Quinta do Bom Vento and it was MARVELOUS. The hosts are excellent, they take care of everything, including all gastronomic possibilities. At our arrival in the evening, we could enjoy grilled chicken with a nice bottle of wine. Breakfast was also taken care of, the fridge was full of delicious things and every two days there was fresh bread and Portuguese sweet delicacies. The accommodation is beautiful and offers a lot of comfort and privacy, we could easily start living there. It felt as being home in a natural environment with full of scenic beauty. From there we could visit a lot, from historic little towns and monasteries to beaches and green hills. Walks are also possible in the near surroundings. We definitely would love to come back!

We spent perfect days here. The room was fabulous and the views were so beautiful. My husband and I both feel like we got to experience the real Portugal here vs. the bigger cities of Lisbon and Porto. The hosts, Sam and Rich were so hospitable and made us feel very welcome with treats delivered to our door almost every day ? We hope to return someday. Sam and Rich, come visit us in Seattle !

Whilst the listing is accurate it still underplays what a wonderful property this is, with a level of luxury, quality of hospitality and attention to detail usually found in boutique hotels. Sam and Rich have created here an oasis of tranquility that, even when the wind is gusting down the valley, pervades the place inside and out. Our property - Atlantic - had everything you could wish for by way of mod cons, and the 'welcome basket' far exceeded what most places would offer. On our way to the property we called in at a supermarket to pick up a few things we thought they wouldn't include, such as breakfast cereals, fruit juice, treats, only to find all these and more when we arrived! Everything exuded quality, from the furnishings to the toilet paper. Rich and Sam were also attentive to our needs during our stay. Though we largely tend to be quite self sufficient, they still provided some useful tips we never would have found in guidebooks, such as the brunch in the park in Caldas da Rainha, only on weekends, which we loved. Sam's culinary skills, the product of which she shared from time to time, also put some local restaurants to shame. And the fresh bread and pastries she delivered to our door on a couple of days was a welcome bonus. The location of the property was great - only half an hour from the beach, 10 minutes to Obidos, an hour from Lisbon (we went by bus, but it's the same to drive if you want), and the 'Disneyesque' Sintra a similar drive. There's walking trails straight from the door, and if you want steeper hills, head to Montejunto 30-40 minutes to the south. All in all a perfect place for our stay in this part of Portugal. Many thanks to Rich and Sam for their hospitality and generosity. Would strongly recommend.

Our expectations were exceeded! We arrived to warm greetings, a fridge full of food and a roast chicken! The accommodation was superb with great attention to detail. From the lounge and the terrace we enjoyed wonderful panoramic views across the surrounding countryside. We stayed a week and found plenty to do including trips to Obidos, Buddha Eden, the coast and mountains and windmills inland - as well as walking in the extensive grounds of QBV. All in all, the best self-catering accommodation that we have ever stayed in!

We had a wonderful stay. The cottage was pristine, the views lovely, and the owners warm and very kind. When we arrived, we found a fully stocked refrigerator. There was no need to leave, except that there were things to see and do. The ocean was close by, Obidos around the corner and historic monasteries and convents to wander. My husband and I stay at many vacation homes as we travel and we both agreed this was the best. I highly recommend.

If you are looking at a rental property near Obidos, either for a short term or a longer stay, there’s no point in checking anything else out. You’ve found the best there is, in all respects. Sam & Rich were the most welcoming hosts of any we have ever encountered in our travels. From the first e-mails when we booked, they offered help if wanted/needed and gave us wonderful suggestions of places to visit, not just in Obidos but throughout the country. All this information has been invaluable and has enriched our visit to Portugal. The Atlantic was spacious, beautiful, well laid out, everything one could need/want all in a picturesque location. The apartment had the best stocked kitchen we’ve seen plus a truly amazing coffee machine. The hosts also provided a hand drawn map of local destinations - including roads, restaurants, tourist destinations, grocery stores, gas stations, local trails in the valley & more. Really helped us navigate the area. In our experience, other rental properties don’t compare with QBV in many ways - atmosphere, location, views, comfort, amenities, support.  It made for a memorable stay. Elizabeth & David
