Further Details:
An approx. 10 - 15 minutes walk from the villas will take you to the river; it is lovely for a picknick and a swim. There are small beaches for you to enjoy. You can book a fun day out on one of the river boats that can take you to a lovely island in the river. You may bring a picknick and you can also BBQ on the island.
The surroundings are perfect for a hike or a cycle tour, it is quite flat where we are....small lovely towns are close by.
Very close to the villas there is a local supermarket well stocked but simple. They do fresh bread and meat as well. Bigger supermarkets are a little further away. In the village you will find a very nice restaurant that serves simple but good quality food and drink. Drive just that bit further and you will find a diversity of restaurants serving fresh crab and fabulous steak, shrimp and local food. In your villa you will find more information.
Leiria
The region has vast pine forests and bright green forest with small streams. In the soft rolling hills lies a medieval castle, Castelo de Leiria.
Batalha
The monastery, also known as Mosteiro da Batalha, is one of Portugal's most beautiful Gothic structures.
Tomar
Slightly further east, the peaceful town of Tomar is located. Each stone breathes a large number of historical events. A place that deserves to be visited so you can see the beautiful façades of houses, churches and other wonderful buildings. You will find many shops where ancient crafts are still being practised.
Obidos and Santarem are beautiful. Other attractions are the Largo do Seminario, the Largo Central and Portas do Sol. And the nineteenth century gardens with the magnificent Belvedère from which one overlooks the Tague. You have a beautiful view over the city from the Tower das Cabacas. This tower, called Torre do Relogio, means Watch Tower. The view from here on the set of beautiful windows, campaniles and Azulejos is truly overwhelming.
