Overview
This modern villa lies around 7km from the centre of Óbidos, a medieval town around one hour’s drive north of Lisbon. With the coastal town of Peniche around 30 minutes west, this villa is well located for excursions to the beach or city, and offers comfortable accommodation for up to six guests, complete with outdoor pool and terrace.
Situated in a residential area of the village of Vau, Casa Pinheiros is quiet and well equipped. The terrace is one of this property’s highlights, where you have an array of sun loungers waiting for you next to the 8m x 4m swimming pool. You have an outdoor shower and barbecue too, as well as a covered area where you can get some shade.
Inside, the house includes a modern living area directly accessible from the pool terrace, with satellite TV, Wi-Fi and comfy seating. A dining space has room for six at the table, and is complemented by a kitchen with a microwave, dishwasher, fridge freezer and coffee machine. There is also an oven with a 4-ring gas hob.
Three double bedrooms with queen-size beds each have a private bathroom, one of which has a bath tub. The property was built as recently as 2018, so there’s a fresh feel to the décor and furnishings at Casa Pinheiros.
The property also offers the free use of bikes, making it easy to explore the area. You don’t need to go too far to reach the sea, as it’s around 3km away, and the nearest sandy beach is around 8km from Vau.
The walled town of Óbidos is a charming little place to visit. You can enter it via the beautiful Porta de Vila and make your way towards the castle via cobbled streets lined with vendors selling snacks and souvenirs to the many tourists. You are sure to get the opportunity to taste the local cherry liqueur, Ginjinha, sometimes served in a chocolate cup.

Location
About the surrounding area of Casa PinheirosDiscovering the medieval town of Óbidos is one of the most popular excursions you can take from Lisbon, around an hour to the south. It’s a regional highlight due to its pretty centre of narrow, cobbled streets, and its centrepiece castle. You can also totter along the precarious Old Town walls and admire the spectacular views this experience rewards you with.
Tourists may arrive in Óbidos by the busload, but if you step away from the main drag you are likely to have many of the side-streets to yourself. An evening in Óbidos, when many of the day-trippers have gone home, shows the place at its best, with a relaxed ambiance and an authentic Portuguese vibe coming to the fore. There are lots of lovely restaurants in the town, many run by local families. Downing a shot of cherry-flavoured Ginjinha liqueur is perhaps the iconic Óbidos experience, but you need not wait until dinner – stalls serving it are not hard to find at any time.
The castle aside, the town isn’t packed with landmarks, but the Porta da Vila which serves as a gateway to the town is worth slowing down for. The elaborate blue-tiled wall, baroque balcony and decorated, arched ceiling which are found between the two gates will have you reaching for your camera before you even emerge onto Rua Direita, the town’s main street.
More impressive architecture can be found in Caldas da Raínha, a larger city around 11km north of Óbidos. From its 18th-century City Hall on the impressive Praça da Fruta square, to the eye-catching church of Igreja de Nossa Senhora de Pópulo, this is a handsome spa town with some romantic sights. Its peaceful park, named after former monarch King Carlos I, is one such highlight, with a boating lake and bandstand adding to its appeal.
West of the city, the dramatic lagoon, Lagoa de Óbidos, leads you down to picturesque Foz do Arelho. The town’s lovely beaches are reason enough to visit, and something of a water-sport hotspot – you are likely to see some kite-surfers doing their thing, and if it looks like fun, you can get some lessons yourself.

ABOUT THE SILVER COAST
The Silver Coast in Portugal, or Costa de Prata, is a stunning stretch of coastal towns on the western side of Portugal, neighbouring the Atlantic Ocean. The region remains largely unknown and therefore untouched by tourism, meaning those who do visit can bask in the extraordinary “silver” sand.
Another of the many reasons to love the Silver Coast in Portugal is its proximity to Portugal’s major cities. With Lisbon to the south and Porto to the north, the Silver Coast is well situated in between both of Portugal’s largest urban centres. At the same time, it is inexpensive, authentic, and relatively undiscovered.
The Silver Coast is home to some of the best beaches you’ll ever see in Portugal. Since it’s away from the main crowd of the country, the beaches here are wilder and more pristine. Also, being popular for fishing is a great place to try local cuisine and experience the culture.
The cuisine from the Silver Coast in Portugal is some of the finest that Europe has to offer and forms an integral part of the region’s culture. The area has a rich heritage, and tourists love the narrow, picturesque streets of the towns and villages that dot the countryside. The regional agriculture also adds an authentic touch, with numerous small farms, vineyards, windmills as well as fruit trees. Many local farmers grow soft fruits such as grapes, melons, pumpkins, and maize.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThe family will love the peace and quiet of Casa Pinheiros, and being just a short drive from the beach at Foz do Arelho. There’s lots of space to play outside, and a spacious swimming pool to enjoy, as well as satellite TV and internet for even more entertainment. Even better, there are free-to-use bikes provided which make getting around the local area easier and a lot of fun.
Óbidos is a lovely place to spend the day, with plenty of restaurants including a pizzeria in the heart of town. There are all sorts of home-cooked, local dishes to try too, and a welcoming atmosphere is most places. Just be careful if you go climbing the old town walls, as they don’t have railings and can be unsafe for children.
One local highlight is Buddha Eden, Europe’s largest collection of Buddha statues in the countryside south of Óbidos. If they don’t fancy seeing that, it’s easy to get a fast bus down to Lisbon in around one hour, which has a huge range of attractions. An aquarium, toy museum and plenty of playgrounds and parks make the capital a great choice for a day out.
Much nearer, the beautiful beach of Foz do Arelho is ideal for families, with plenty of restaurants lining the waterfront. To the north of Óbidos, you can also visit the city of Caldas da Raínha, where you will find an indoor go-karting track. The pretty park of Dom Carlos I is also sure to please – you can go boating on the lake or enjoy a picnic in tranquil surroundings.
