  Very nice place to stay

  Left on 02/24/2011 for a stay in March 2011
  
  

  We rented Jana's vacation house in Portugal for a week in March 2010. We really liked the quite of the area and the fact its located away from all types of commotion. Great place to relax, but close enough to so many beautiful places to visit...like the medieval walled village of Obidos, Sao Martinho do Porto, Foz do arelho. You should definitely have a car to rent here. There are 2 mountain bikes available and we use them on the trails around the small lagoon near by.
  
  The house is brand new, with modern lines, and lots of light. It has a fully equipped and open kitchen where everything works! We ended up cooking in almost every day instead of going out for dinner as the fire place made the house too cozy to get out. All the rooms have great big windows so they have plenty of light. This is especially the case with the master bedroom with floor to ceiling corner windows that open to a private veranda. We really enjoyed our stay.
  I would recommend this house and renting from Jana to any friend?. Paula and Paul

  absolutely loved it!

  Left on 02/22/2011 for a stay in July 2010
  
  

  Have just returned from spending 2 weeks in the villa -four adults and two children (6 and 3), and they loved the sky TV! The villa was spotless, and extremely comfortable, bright and airy, and had everything we needed for a family holiday (including two very good hairdryers!) - the bathrooms are spacious and the master suite is beautiful.
  
  The villa also had the added bonus of having the pool to the back of the property, adding more privacy. Other villas on this estate have pools in the front garden, so we were delighted with our choice.
  
  We could walk along the lagoon to Bom Sucessor beach, for a coffee or beer (it took about 35 minutes, but it is a beautiful walk, and very flat), and the kids got to spend some time on the beach, which for July was not crowded. There is another beautiful beach about 5 minutes drive.
  
  You do need a car, as there are no restaurants within walking distance - but it is well worth having in order to explore the surrounding area, and it was an easy drive from Lisbon airport. Obidos town, which is a fifteen minute drive, has a good supermarket, and it is like another world, with cobbled streets, lovely little shops and child friendly restaurants.
  
  The weather was perfect - between 70 and 80 degrees - cooler in the morning and evenings, which was ideal.
  
  We will definitely return, and I would highly recommend this villa - booking was easy and the communication from the owners was extremely helpful.
