The villa is located in a very quiet hilltop village with wonderful views towards the coast and inland.
The local beaches are all sandy, the nearest being Sao Martinho (10 minutes) and Foz d'Arelho (15). Sao Martinho is a cove and the sea is always calm. Foz d'Arelho faces both the Atlantic and a tidal sandy estuary. Peniche is idyllic for surfers and many new facilities are being developed. All have excellent facilities.
Nazare to the north is a very popular beach town with a funicular to the cliff top old town. Further north, there are many spectacular beaches hidden away.
There are many historic sites locally. The nearest is Obidos, a magnificent walled Medieval city with narrow streets, shops and cafes. It is a truly magical setting and it is possible to walk round the city walls, if you have a head for heights!
Shopping facilities are excellent with many large supermarkets in the nearby towns of Tornada and Caldas da Rainha making self catering very ea
