Wonderful Villa with pool, gardens, near Óbidos.

Beautiful, spacious, nostalgic family home with a large, 1000m² secret garden in the heart of a hilltop village. Lovely walks in the immediate area, and beaches nearby. Sobral de Lagoa is peacefully situated off the beaten track and proved to be a vibrant, close-knit community that made us feel welcome.Owners Eduardo and Cristina genuinely ensured that everything went smoothly and any issues were resolved immediately.

Lovely villa with an amazing pool and garden, the garden had lots of little books and wonderful established plants. The house was an old eclectic mix of rooms and pieces of furniture and big enough for our two families. It was really great to walk to the local shop (2 mins) for a coffee / cake and any essentials we’d missed in the big shop.

Cristina and Eduardo have lovingly preserved and restored their family home creating an authentic Portuguese experience for the guests. This large and multi-roomed home is comfortable, clean and steeped in family history. Located near Óbidos in the village of Sobral da Lagoa, the house is a great location to enjoy the surrounding area or just stay hang around to relax in the lovely garden and pool. We enjoyed walking around the village, hearing the church bells ring on the hour and soaking up the real Portugal. The little store around the corner is worth a visit. The store sells local produce and serves up excellent coffee and lots atmosphere. Cristina and Eduardo were friendly and shared the history of their family and home which was very interesting. We recommend the house, local and hosts without reservation.

This home was a highlight in our trip...a true, authentic taste of Portugal. Christina & Eduardo were gracious and welcoming - concerned with our every need from the amenities in the villa to ensuring we had all the information we needed to experience the surrounding areas. It's a very comfortable house with washing machine, dishwasher, and all equipments you need for cooking. And there is also a barbecue. And of course a swimming pool with deckchairs We met a heavily laden burrow coming up the street in the delightful village. All the surrounding areas are well worth the time you should take to explore...exceptional in every way - true Portugal - the Nazare beach and village was unforgettable. Many thanks to Christina and Eduardo for sharing this treasure with us.

The owners of this property are lovely people and very helpful, welcoming and extremely caring. The house is spacious and has many rooms, it was actually too big for the 4 of us, however the interior would improve in our opinion if the furniture would be updated. The outdoor area and garden and pool are great. The church bells are loud (across the street). The kids loved praia do Foz do Arelho the best (water freezing cold though).There's plenty of things to do & visit in the surrounding area.

Cristina and Eduardo were wonderful and helpful hosts. Their historic and beautiful property is located in Sobral da Lagoa small village located about 4km from the Obidos. We used local transportation ( mostly buses and occasional the taxi) to get around.The village has a general store / cafe where we could get all our necessary supplies and mix with the friendly locals.The house in Sobral is beautifully maintained, and the garden setting, buildings and pool allowed us to have a most a restful and enjoyable holiday. Although Obidos is the most noted place in the area, we particularly enjoyed Caldas da Rainha, with it's history,daily market, shops and great restaurants. Again many thanks to Cristina and Edouardo for their wonderful home and property enabling us to have an unforgettable time. Olga and Eryk Polonski Hudson, Quebec Canada

The house was perfect for our needs - very comfortable, spacious and with the most beautiful garden and accompanying, very private and much appreciated swimming pool. The hosts, Cristina and Edouardo, were delightful, attentive and very welcoming. The village was small and peaceful and very well located for a range of visits to nearby spots - the wonderful beach at Foz D'Arelho, Obidos, Caldas - with its fantastic ceramics and cycling museum - and, a bit further afield, Sintra, Cascais - home of the stunning Paula Rego gallery - and Lisbon.
