About this property
Villa With Panoramic Views Over Obidos Lagoon To The Atlantic Ocean
The spacious open-plan living area on the upper level enjoys truly spectacular views of the silver water and sunsets over the lagoon where it meets the wild Atlantic Ocean. Floor to ceiling opening glass doors give access to the large roof terrace with brick built barbecue and outdoor eating space for 8 and relaxed sitting space.
Inside there is a fully equipped modern kitchen with induction hob. The dining area, with custom made wood and marble dining table seating 8 and leather chairs, enjoys wonderful views of the lagoon. Finally there is comfortable indoor lounge seating for 8 for if it is cooler but you still want the view. The natural colours of the wood ceiling, white walls, terracotta floor and blue and white tiles in the upstairs cloakroom, maintain the Portuguese style. There is a wood burning stove for chilly evenings out of the main holiday season (there is no central heating).
The villa is spacious with large rooms, and the multiple living areas mean that everyone can find their own space to relax. The main entrance is on the ground floor into a wide entrance hall which will easily accommodate push chairs and car seats (parking in the road outside). Three main well appointed bedrooms are on this level, as well as a large additional lounge with TV, sofas, books and table for board games. A modern custom built steep oak staircase leads to the upper floor. There is also a wider external stair.
The large Pool View room (twin) is on the lower level by the pool (not suitable for young children) with bathroom, a small kitchenette and washing machine. Handy for pool changing and showering. This is reached by an external stair and is popular with teenagers.
The pool is sunny for most of the day and has a sheltered, secluded (gated) terraced area for sunbathing.
The veranda on the mid-level provides a shady place to sit and overlook the pool. The fenced garden offers a level play-space for children and sitting for adults and the established trees and shrubs provide shade if needed. In this part of Portugal there is often a light breeze making the temperature very pleasant for sitting outside. Shutters are available to keep the house cool on hotter days. The villa is on a small mature development at the end of a cul-de-ac with parking outside, The lagoon area is in easy walking distance and proximity to the A8 motorway makes it an excellent base to explore much of Portugal. There are many good and reasonable restaurants close by, so eating out is very affordable.
We built the villa 30 years ago, have grown up there and our children love it so we have refurbished it, maintaining the traditional feel and blending in modern amenities. We hope you enjoy it too.

About the host
Hosted by Sheila Featherstone-Clark

We are an extended family covering all ages - young children, teenagers, students, parents and pensioners - we all love to relax here. We go for short breaks and longer holidays and are always sad to leave. We were seduced by the magic of the lagoon and 30 years later have not tired of it; even though we look over it every day we are there. There is something for everyone, whether it be cafes and cakes for my father, sailing for my brother, sunbathing or shopping for the girls; cycling or walking in the countryside. Our neighbours are lovely too. We are happy to make suggestions if you have specific interests, do ask.
Why they chose this property
We love this part of Portugal, preferring its traditional feel, beautiful unspoilt beaches, friendly people and the magic of the lagoon which we see every morning from our villa. It is an ideal place for a relaxing break for couples and families with children, and is well located to visit other areas of Portugal. The local restaurants are exceptional value and welcome children; alternatively the local butcher will cut meat for the barbeque. The Caldas fish market is one of the best in Portugal and the vegetables from the market are so fresh and tasty you will want to cook them. We built the villa 30 years ago, we have grown up there and our children love it too so, we have recently refurbished it, maintaining the traditional feel and blending in some modern amenities. It is furnished as our second home and we hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.
What makes this property unique
You will be enchanted by the amazing view in all weathers. The villa is spacious and well appointed with parking outside. It is easy to get here, flying to Lisbon it is a 1 hour drive, mainly on motorway (A8) to get to the villa. This also makes it viable for a long weekend visit, which we often do in the mid season as the weather is often very warm in the day right through to the end of October.
If you arrive without a car the regular fast buses go from LIsbon to Caldas da Rainha, a short taxi ride away. These take about an hour and cost 8 Euros per person. It is easier to have a car to explore the area but there is plenty to do without.
The property is furnished and decorated in the Portuguese style of white walls, terracotta and tiling, positioned above the Lagoa de Obidos with a breath-taking panorama of views to the end of the Lagoon and to the Atlantic Ocean, just at the point where the sun sets in the summer. The modern kitchen and living area, with floor to ceiling fully opening glass doors, allow us to enjoy this timeless view at any time of year.
This is a great base to visit many of Portugal's most interesting places driving along the coast roads, or the motorway network is within easy reach, and it is in the middle of the country.
