Our family and another couple stayed at Ian's lovely home for 6 days last week - our party included six adults and a five-month old baby. The house is in an excellent, quiet location just outside Foz do Arelho, and is a quick 10-15 minute walk to the lagoon beach, the Atlantic side beach another quick 5 minutes, with many local beachside eateries along the way. It is a perfect location for quick day trips to Sintra, Obidos, Coimbra, the Douro valley, Nazare, Peniche, or up to Porto. It is also a quick 70-minute drive to the Lisbon metropolitan area and the airport. The house is roomy, quiet, with a downstairs bed/bath/kitchenette space that was perfect for our son and his wife and baby. The pool was lovely and where we spent much of our time. All amenities were very much appreciated: the dishwasher, washing machine, drying line outside the laundry room, WiFi (which did have to be tweaked mid-visit), cooking accessories, electric shades, pool lounges, and bikes. Everything we needed was there, with complete written info about everything in the house in a binder. The couple of minor issues that developed were quickly and easily taken care of by Ian and his property manager Allison, who were incredibly responsive. I would unhesitatingly recommend this property - it was a delightful vacation for all of us.
