Hosting Sarah was a delightful experience! She took great care of the space and kept everything impeccably clean. Communication was smooth and pleasant throughout. I highly recommend her — thoughtful, friendly, and dependable. She’s more than welcome to return anytime.
A lovely Stay in a Historic City Within the Castle Walls
Maria, our host, was great and very helpful with check-in instructions and helpful tips on what to do in the region. Obidos is absolutely lovely - especially in the evenings and mornings - be sure to walk the castle walls and enjoy the nice restaurants. The region is gorgeous - we can highly recommend a boat trip from Peniche to the island of Berlengas (bird sanctuary and a 14th century fort). Thank you Maria!

Very cosy apartment, everything is at proximity.
Warm welcome. Easy to reach the owner if needed.
Felt at home.
This adorable home is in an incredible location, but the best part of our stay was the friendly, knowledgeable host, Maria. From our initial interaction and throughout our 4 night stay, Maria provided information that enhanced our trip. She provided recommendations and tips that surpassed any guidebook. Obidos is a magical village, our stay was ideal.

Eileen was a fantastic guest, no trouble at all. Excellent communication and she respected the space perfectly. I'd be happy to host her again or recommend her to other hosts.
The place is lovely. It was so charming and a great location to do some day trips as well. Maria is a wonderful host and can help you with whatever you might need.
Highly recommend!!
Cozy & comfortable home in a magical place - inside the walls of Obidos. The home is filled with personal touches & Maria is an amazing host! I hope to return some day!

Thank you for your review. I am very happy that your family had a good time in my house and I will be happy to receive you whenever you wish. Kind regards and all the best.
Maria was a wonderful host and the apartment was perfect for the five of us, very nice bedding, furniture and full kitchen. The apartment was well located for easy access to the beautiful town of Obidos.

It was lovely dealing with Wayne and they left my house spotless. Definitely welcome back any time!
Sweet flat in an older house full of light and quiet. Away from main hustle & bustle. Highly recommended. Great place to explore and saunter through the walled town.
The property is well placed to explore Lazare, Coimbra, Tomar etc. Found it generally quiet evenings and night. Maria was open and helpful. Plenty of parking at only short distances away. Highly recommend but with one warning; the range hood extends over half the sink snd is at a hight that that makes a head injury almost inevitable.

Dear Richard,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for recommending the house — I'm very happy to know you enjoyed your stay and found the location convenient for exploring the beautiful central region of Portugal!
It was a pleasure to host you, and I truly appreciate your kind words about my hospitality.
Regarding the range hood: thank you for pointing that out. There is actually a protective cover designed to avoid exactly that kind of inconvenience — so I'm genuinely surprised it wasn’t in place during your stay. I truly appreciate your attention to detail, and I’ll be installing a new protection immediately to ensure future guests have an even more comfortable experience.
You're always welcome back — next time with no head bumps guaranteed! 😊
Warm regards,
Maria
Its a wonderful home inside the castle walls of Obidos. Maria is the perfect Host. There if you need her, and a so nice. If you rent a car park in the free lot across from the castle. Do not let the GPS take you inside the castle walls! Repeat!!. Highly recommend!.

It was an absolute pleasure hosting Larry and Jackie for their month-long stay! They were wonderful guests, leaving the place spotless and making communication a breeze. We highly recommend them and would welcome them back with open arms anytime! Thanks again for everything!
Family home located within the walls. If you have a car, it’s better to park near the front gate rather than along the side wall. Walk up to castle walls with luggage was strenuous. Leaving thru the front gate was much easier. Home was a perfect location. Obidos was a beautiful little town within drives to Fatima and Nazare. Host was wonderful. Furnishings are quaint which add to the charm of the home. Nice to have a washer. Home located near bakeries, restaurants and small groceries. We never cooked so didn’t investigate kitchen supplies. Great for families or couples.
Obidos is a special place and Maria's house is too. Maria and her sister Fatima were both very helpful from start to finish. The house location is perfect. Tip,.when visiting Obidos say hi to all of the locals and speaking a little Portuguese is appreciated as well. I can see why so many people want to visit Obidos and this house. Great stay.

They will always be welcome in my house.
Lovely, quaint apartment on a very quiet cobblestone alley.
The owner, Maria, was very nice and friendly. The location is perfect. The apartment is old but what else would you expect in this ancient walled city. Had a great time in Obidos and short trips to nearby towns of Nazaré and Peniche.
We had such a wonderful stay in Obidos, truly a gem in Portugal. Maria and her family (and friends!) were so much fun to meet and were so helpful with parking the car, giving advice for restaurants and telling us about places to go in Portugal. We would come back to visit again any time of year. And the house was so comfortable and quiet and beautifully appointed. Obregada!

Lovely apartment in great location.
The apartment was very pretty, comfortable and clean with lots of space for luggage etc. The location was superb, very close to restaurants but quiet since it was not on one of the very busy tourist streets. Maria was very helpful, meeting us and leading us to where to park, and then to the apartment.
Only one small suggestion - while the kitchen was very well equipped, we would suggest a french press to have when there are multiple coffee drinkers.

We had a wonderful time staying at Maria’s place in Obidos. It’s a cozy, updated house that we learned has been in the family for many years. It’s perfectly located inside the walls of the city providing access to this historic place. Maria communicated with us from the start and met us outside the city walls. She showed us where to park and then drove us through the narrow and steep streets to the house. She even had a bottle of wine waiting for us upon arrival. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location within the walls, very comfortable home. Maria was v helpful with orientation and finding a restaurant for our anniversary dinner. The complimentary wine was a nice touch. We ventured out of Obidos during the day to avoid the tourist crush. Early morning and evenings spent exploring Obidos were great including walking the walls. You pay for parking in the main lots though can search for on street parking near the walls or find a municipal lot apparently. Hope we make it back soon!

Great Location
We were very happy with the location of this unit. Right inside the castle walls of Obidos and very close to everything.
The property manager was very responsive to any questions and requests we had prior to arriving however, we were given an incorrect address and spent a lot of time trying to find the unit. Maria was quick to respond to assist us, but it was disappointing to not have correct information from the beginning.

Thank you very much for your comment. However, it does not reflect the truth. From the beginning, I made myself available to provide any necessary information, both here on the platform and through my direct number. I regret that you did not read my detailed recommendations, which included precise instructions on how to find the unit. I hope that in a future opportunity we can overcome this incident. Best regards from Óbidos.
Casa Maria is a five star property within the walls of charming Obidos. Three bedrooms, 2 baths, and a spacious living areas means you and your family will have an excellent holiday. The apartment is beautifully appointed and super comfortable, and we really appreciate that it is dog friendly. The location is right in the center of the walled city, close to good restaurants (especially right next door), good shops, and romantic strolls. Park your car in the public lot just outside the main gate and the apartment is a mere five minute walk. For authentic European charm and an upscale rental property, you can’t beat Casa Maria. And Maria is gracious, helpful, responsive, and very kind.

Two week stay in Obidos
Positives: Very interesting environment. Lots of history and culture. Lots to see. Good, and some very good, restaurants. Some shopping. Good base for exploration of surrounding areas and communities. Property was perfectly located.
Negatives: Obidos is very busy. Large crowds and lots of tourists, essentially every day. Morning until night.
Property standard was OK. Communication with the host was rapid and efficient some times, but other times it was non existent.
Overall rating: OK - good

Thank you very much for your comment.
Obidos is indeed a tourist destination, with many tourists, mainly during the day and on the main street. But in other places it is empty and quiet, it is a matter of exploring the good spots that the village of Obidos has to offer.
I regret your rating on communication as I have always been around and have always responded to all your requests. Yet, for reasons I can't explain you didn't respond in a timely manner to my messages and emails. I regret once again the classification you left, as I believe it is unfair, and does not reflect the truth.

"Obidos is a great place ...
"Obidos is a great place to chill-out and a beautiful place to run away of the daily routines. Carmo's house is gorgeous, clean and very confortable and it's right in the center of Obidos, one step away of the main street. A beautiful place to stay.
Maria do Carmo was absolutely thoughtful and deeply concerned about our confort, she give us a little, but complete, list of restaurants and beaches that really matters in this region and we love them all. Carmo is a pretty cool host, she's very friendly and nice. We don't forget the beautiful bottle of red wine as so the goods in the fridge for our breakfast. We didn't expect that and it was a nice toutch of the host. We will come back one day for shure."

Greetings from Obidos, Maria
We were so fortunate to have found Maria and her picture perfect apartment in the medieval walled town of Obidos, Portugal. We were comfortable and taken in by the lovely home and natural setting. We were taken back in time yet had all the modern conveniences. The location on an out of the way side street was a quiet haven , yet only a few minutes walk from all the shops and restaurants. Maria was so helpful getting us settled, and our three days spent there stroll seem like a dream. Narrow, cobblestone streets, a medieval castle and a walk around the entire town from the top of the ancient wall are part of your everyday stay. Flowers grow all over the ancient walls. Do not hesitate to spend time in her beautiful home.
