We had a wonderful stay at this villa. The views were absolutely beautiful, and the hosts were fantastic—keeping in touch throughout and making sure we had checked in comfortably.Whenever we needed anything, Alison responded straight away and was incredibly helpful. We couldn’t have asked for better service.We would definitely stay again!

We have just returned from the most amazing holiday. We were a group of 9, aging from 22months to 66 and the villa was perfect for all of us. Obviously we had to keep a close eye on the toddler due to all the stairs, however we knew that would be the case, before we booked and it wasn’t ever an issue for us.There were plenty of toys, games, and activities to keep the toddler, nine year old and sixteen year old entertained all the time. The pool table was a particular “hit” with the sixteen year old.The kitchen is very well equipped.The pool was a perfect temperature so there was no need to have the heating turned on. The “pool guys” came very regularly to clean the filters etc so it was kept very clean.Alison and Chris always replied to any of our messages/concerns very quickly and were both very proactive.There is so much space, with so many places to sit inside and outside that you never felt overcrowded. The views from the villa overlooking the lagoon were spectacular. We hired two cars between the nine of us, which was perfectly adequate. The grandparents got a taxi, (Daniel) to and from the airport. The lagoon is a ten minute walk and the beach 30-40 minute walk, depending on which part you stopped at. There are lots of lovely little cafes all along the beach, all very reasonably priced. The beach and supermarket are just a short ten minute drive away.There are some lovely picturesque villages to visit close by and outdoor water sports centre to hire canoes etc.

Amazing view, quite environment

The house is spacious and has a beautifull garden. The views are amazing. The presence of the jacuzzi and a big swimming pool are super. There are bikes present, and the environment is beautifull for biking. In Foz there are good restaurants were you can eat very well for a small privé. If I have to say something less good then I would say that the equipment in the kitchen is poor. If you are staying with 9 people and you want to cook yourself, pots and pans are to small. We enjoyed our holiday in Foz very much, and we hope to return Some day.

The property was beautiful overall. The pool and backyard space are wonderful to spend time in. The game room with pool table was such a fun way to spend time in the evening. The floors could have been cleaner, but overall the experience was good.

Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour en famille à la villa d-el rei à Foz do Arhelo. Un lieu idyllique, avec une magnifique vue sur la lagune d’Obidos. L’endroit est paisible et très ressourçant. Nos cinq petits-enfants ont apprécié la piscine ainsi que tous les divers jeux proposés. Les chambres sont spacieuses, les quatre salle d’eau sont un confort complémentaire. La cuisine très bien équipée et spacieuse. Nous remercions Chris et Alisson pour nos divers échanges et leur réactivité. Nous recommandons à 100 %. Family TREHOREL

Great stay in beautiful Foz Villa

Lovely villa, clean and well equipped, great location, stunning views of the lagoon. The owners of the villa were friendly, personable and willing to be adaptable and offered to go the extra mile (we were affected by industrial action which altered some of our arrangements). Informative and useful check-in by the property manager, Alison. Couldn't fault either the villa or its location. In all a lovely holiday.

Beautiful views over Óbidos lagoon

A lovely 2 week stay - plenty of room for two families, well worth heating the pool (sea was very cold even in August) and we loved the hottubs. Biking was great - worth noting 2 of the 4 bikes that come with villa are kid bikes so worth supplementing with the extra ones. Views from the balcony were wonderful at both ends of the day.

Absolutely fantastic and lovely villa

During our stay we were 9 people in the age of 21-23 years from Germany and we went there for the first time. We absolutely enjoyed our stay in the villa. The villa is equipped with everything you need for your stay. Many entertainment options are available and it offers plenty of space to get together, even in larger groups. Before the holiday we got a very detailed summary of places in the area you can visit and instructions on how to use the individual equipment in the villa. The images on the website are 100% consistent with what we found during our visit. We were surprised that the villa actually looked even better and bigger than in the pictures. The garden is well maintained and the pool is huge. There is a beautiful view over the lagoon and you can watch the sunset from the garden or from the balcony. In the town there is a small grocery store, about 5 minutes away by car. If you want to make a bigger purchase of food, there is a large supermarket, located about 15 minutes by car from the villa. The contact with the owners of the villa and the property manager was very uncomplicated and super nice. On arrival the property manager Alison showed us everything, she was as clarified, punctual and reliable at the villa. We would like to thank the owners and the property manager for the stay and we will book a stay in this villa again.

Bellisimo

We have just had a 7 night stay at this wonderful villa. there were 7 adults 2 children and 2 9 month old babies and plenty of room for everyone. The pool was superb as was the games room on an evening. If you require transfers from the airport do contact Alison the property manager ( Who provided great service and information throughout our stay) and ask for Daniel. He was our taxi driver all week and provided a professional, friendly and excellent service it's about 120 euros each way from Lisbon to the villa per car. It will be at least 150 euro if you get a cab outside the airport. Daniel will also have child seats if you ask for them- other cabs at the airport will not. The restaurants at the beach are about 30 minutes walk as are the ones in the village. We tried a couple of beach bars and ate at Tavola in the village . All were very good and very cheap . We used the well equipped BBQ a couple of times purchasing meat from the large supermarket in Caldas da Rainha it is 13.50 euro in a taxi and has a fruit and veg market daily, lovely park nice restaurants with a large shopping centre, definitely worth a visit if you need to stock up. If you prefer you can get supplies from the butcher (not open monday) and mini markets in the village. I would also pack the insect repellent as all of the adults in our party did suffer bites if you forget the pharmacy in the village have every thing you need ( it is up a side street behind the bakery). Also the laundry room was really useful. The views from the villa ate amazing. Wish we were still there!

Great villa, wonderful location.

We were 5 adults and 2 children (9 & 6). Plenty of space for all of us. The pool and the hot tub were very popular. The views are stunning. The property manager was very helpful and responsive. Very helpful information in the book provided - how everything works, local restaurants, shopping and attractions.

Fantastic family location

We stayed for a week, 9 of us (me & my wife, our three adult children and their partners plus our granddaughter. Accommodation was bright and clean with luxurious touches. Two rooms have ensuites. From many parts of the house and the garden you get good views of the lagoon and the ocean. The pool was well used as was the hot tub for noisy evenings. There is a games room with pool table which converts to a ping pong table. It has a TV projector. It was great to watch England on a 6ft high screen. There is A/C in every room except the games room. We ate out in local restaurants, which are all fairly small and family run. Perfect. We also cooked a few meals using the built in charcoal barbecue and sat at the large table on the decking. The kitchen is well equipped with appliances and utensils, including a Dolce Gusto coffee machine. The local area is very quiet, no great developments or giant hotels. The beach has two sides, the ocean facing side popular with surfers and the lagoon side popular with families and kindergartens. You will need a hire car to get around. A short drive takes you to Calde des Rainhas where you can get supermarket shopping (we like E.Leclerc) plus fast food if you need it. Places to visit: we went to: Obidos a beautiful medieval walled town. Buddha Garden, a stunning park full of statues. Praia do S.Miguel a small seaside resort in a protected sandy cove. Peniche and Nazare are other good seaside fishing villages good for sandy beaches and fresh fish restaurants. You can get into Lisbon in an hour too. Communication with the owner and the local agent was excellent.

Beautiful views/ beautiful villa!

Myself and 6 other ladies booked a week at this villa for our yearly trip. We had never visited this region so didn’t know what to expect. Transfers were organised through the owners as was a starter pack so we at least had something when we arrived. Upon our arrival we were greeted with a very impressive villa which is fully detached and sits up the hill from the lagoon. The views from the villa overlooking the lagoon and Atlantic are beautiful!! Alyson the housekeeper (English lady) met us there and explained everything we needed to know and more re where to go, what to see, very helpful! Once inside the villa this also didn’t disappoint, this large modern 2 storey 4 bedroom accommodation was just perfect!! It had everything we needed and more. Outside the pool, gardens and bbq area again were just perfect for our needs. It took about 30 minutes to stroll into the town where we found restaurants and a very good supermarket, not large but seemed to have everything. I would say if you like to go out and about hire a car but saying that the taxis were very good. Would we return, yes we would, do we recommend, yes we do!!!

A fantastic property and location to relax and have fun.

We had 4 adults 2 teenagers and one child and the property was very spacious and could cope with more. All of the facilities were exactly as described and the property was very well maintained and looked after. The advice and help we got from the owners and managers was brilliant and their local knowledge was excellent. Easy to travel from the location to lots of interesting places. The property itself made us feel very relaxed from the minute we arrived and was easy to live in for two weeks. I really cant compliment the owners enough as they made it one of the best holidays we have had just because of how relaxing and spacious it was. The heated pool was brilliant as was the hot tub. The games room was lots of fun and BBQ area was used nearly every day. Great Kitchen and dining room and would give the property 10 out 10 for how liveable it was. Fantastic holiday for two families. Many thanks the Lamberts & Hastings from Norfolk England

Wonderful vacations!

We've rented this place for 2 weeks, 4 adults and 6 children. We had a great time! It's a very quiet place. We've enjoyed very much the view and the kids played a lot in the pool and around the house. The house is very spacious both inside and outside. Communicating with Chris was really easy and efficient. It was very appreciated! When we arrived at the house, you could learn a lot from the place and the area because they're was a booklet done by the owner with all the information needed. Very practical! The beach is steps away. We've enjoyed the waves by bodyboarding even though sometimes they were big! And don't worry, part of the beach is well supervised. Also, if you have toddlers, there's the lagoon where it's much more calmer. Foz de Arhelo is a small town, you can find everything you need. The restaurants are not expensive at all. There's a chicken place on the main street where you can order to take away, we went almost everyday! We highly recommend this place, it's a very nice house to spend some quality time with your family and friends!

Stunning views, amazing location, perfect holiday

We stayed in the villa in April and the weather was perfect, sunshine everyday. It was our first holiday as a family of 4 and I was a little nervous about travelling with a 7 month old and a 2 1/2 year old. I needent have been as Chris was really helpful in answering questions and the villa had a high chair, travel cot and a hand blender to help us with the baby. My daughter loved the swings and played with the provided toys. It was hard convincing her to leave. The garden and the balcony both have amazing views of the lagoon which is only minutes away. We had our evening meal with fabulous Portuguese wine on the balcony of an evening it was so peaceful. It's a beautiful, well equipped, villa in a fabulous location. The location is perfect for families, we found a large supermarket really easily, restaurants which were all family friendly, the beach is just down the road and we even managed to go a bit further a field without much problem. The instructions to the villa from the airport were easy to follow, the main motorway from Lisbon is a good road and takes you most of the way there. We loved the villa and the location. We'd definitely recommend staying here and are hoping to be back again next year.

Everything you want or need for a villa holiday!

We just came back from the villa after a week with a group of 8 adults, 2 parents, sons and partners. This villa supplied us with amenities to both entertain and cater for us all throughout our stay. We really maximised the use of the pool, hot tub and pool table (family tournaments). The views are outstanding as the previous reviews state and to be honest so much so that we enjoyed the time at the villa more than going to the lovely non commercialised town. We did eat out at various places which were very reasonable for Portugal and had fantastic cocktails and drinks near the beach. This was a lovely relaxing holiday in a beautiful part of Portugal, very green and clean. A day out at Obidos is a must and we used a mini-bus company recommended by Chris and Marc throughout our stay including transfers which were very reasonable. I had to change our dates and Chris was very accommodating offering various solutions which enabled us to still have our holiday and we were so pleased with the outcome!! Thank you.
