What a fun place to stay within the castle walls and walking distance to everything. Can be tricky to find but the owner was available by phone to make sure we found the parking and the home. He also sent great instructions and recommendations for things to do and restaurants which was very helpful We enjoyed our stay very much.

Host was extremely attentive and supportive with an easy check-in process with lockbox access. The host walked us thru the property on the phone and provided various tutorials for the property. The house was historic within the castle walls giving it a relaxed yet authentic ambience. Would recommend this property and host.

What a perfect place to stay inside the walls of Obidos. The house was clean and well equipped with all the essentials, plus little extras like wine, coffee, and fresh fruit. Rodrigo was the perfect host. He met us upon arrival and walked us through the apartment. He made videos explaining how to use the microwave, coffee machine, etc. If we had questions, his responses were quick. The little yard was a real bonus. What a great place to sit and enjoy the ambiance of Obidos. We did not want to leave after 6 days.

The host was amazing with communication and clarity. Very warm and welcoming and thorough. The house next door is labelled with the year 1700. It seems this house is similarly historic, which is amazing to think about. It is fully renovated and has all the modern conveniences, a real gem of a place. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Bed was comfy.

Fantastic place to stay in the heart of Óbidos

The apartment was a wonderful place to stay in Óbidos. It was spacious and in close walking distance to everything. The back garden was lovely for picnics and Rodrigo was a very attentive host. He always got back to us quickly and had great recommendations for places to eat. We would definitely return again!

Amazing home within a Castle

This beautiful historic home situated within the castle walls in Obidos exceeded our expectations. The home has spacious and full of old world charm and has a lovely & very scenic backyard to relax in when done exploring the old Castle town of Obidos. We would love to visit again one day.

The property was amazing. Close proximity to the castle, cute little patio, nice garden. The rooms were large. The host was amazing! I even met his wonderful mother who loaned me an umbrella. Couldn't ask for anything more of a property.

It was excellent. The home is spacious and conducive for relaxation. The host is super-responsive to questions & concerns. It is right in the historic hearth of Obidos. The only suggestion I would have would be to provide fans, as the house is not air-conditioned.

Thanks for your feedback Marc, it was a pleasure to have you in the house. The house and the region is super fresh during the summer, that’s why we don’t have fans so far, but i appreciate your suggestion and will buy one straight away. Best wishes for you and your family!

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay at Rodrigo’s home. It is large and comfortable. Rustic in a good way. Especially enjoyed the garden. We used our time to regroup midtrip. We rested, washed clothes, made dinners and sat in the garden. The town center was a few blocks away (though the shops and cafes are mostly timed for the tour buses that come.) we found a large grocery store just outside the walls. Lovely time

A stay to remember

We loved our six nights in the Obidos Castle. We thoroughly enjoyed day trips to the beach, Peniche, Fatima, Batalha, wine tasting and more. The castle are is busy during the day, but so peaceful at night. Rodrigo was the best host I have had (among many rentals on 3 continents). He met us to show us around and was very helpful in helping us both feel at home and explore the region. This 300 year old house was quirky but charming. Don’t hesitate to book!

Amazing stay

Wonderful stay , my wife and I an our 2 teen daughters . Everyone loved it . Plenty of room , great property outside to relax and right in the castle walls. While we did not get to meet Rodrigo in person anything we needed he answered via phone or text almost instantly which was awesome. He helped us out with everything from restaurants to how and where to visit . Would definitely stay again . We had a car and the driving and parking was a little confusing at first but once you figure it out it is very easy again Rodrigo was there on the phone to help us . A must stay if you are in the area
