About this property

Converted cottage in a typical Ribatejo village sleeping 4-5 people with pool.

This 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms semi-detached rural cottage has been recently (2008) restored is located in a delightful country village, about 45 minutes north of Lisbon easily reached from the main A1 motorway. Located in a typical Ribatejo village with 2 restaurants/cafes, it is ideal for touring central Portugal. There is a small garden with some mature fruit trees (lemon, pomegranate, kaki, walnut) and a magnificent linden tree under which you can spend a lazy summer afternoon by the 6m x 3m swimming pool. There is an open sun deck area with a barbecue and pool shower and a covered area for relaxing or eating outdoors. The house was completely refurbished in 2008 keeping the original façade but the south side of the house is in glass and rustic bricks, which prolongs the kitchen/dining area and the living room into the garden. It is a great location for touring, and Santarém (known as Portugal’s Gothic Capital) is 4km to the South with plenty of shops, cinemas etc and direct motorway link to the beaches 30 minutes away. The cottage is fully licensed with the local Council under the Alojamento Local scheme which ensures compliance with safety standards.


Enjoy a lazy and relaxed afternoon in the hammock by the pool before a soccer table match or a ping pong game with your party. If you prefer some action, nearby there is a small horse riding stable providing lessons and carriage rides or play in one of the several golf courses in the area ( Óbidos - 35 mins, Rio Maior - 30 mins. Campo Real and Bom Sucesso - 50mins and 6 courses in Lisbon - 50 mins.) The beaches are about 30 minutes away however, the journey is very easy with a good motorway link.

If the size of your party is too big for this house, we also own the adjoining Property 1126401 which may be available.

Lovely convenient villa in rural Ribatejo
Located in an apparently sleepy village, the villa is ideally placed for the motorway network to get around central Portugal and to Lisbon, and close to the beautiful town of Santarem - there is a wealth of interesting sites to visit nearby. It also turned out less sleepy than it looked, with what seems be the regular village fete at weekends at the nearby square, providing lively local character well into the night if that is what you are seeking! Helena made us very welcome, and the villa was found in very good order; it is well equipped and perfect for a family of four or two couples, with the pool and all amenities, up to an including table tennis table and baby football, and with plenty of space to spread out. It is great for just relaxing, as a base for sightseeing, has both character and convenience, and can be recommended unreservedly - we shall be going back at some point soon!

Jolie maison avec piscine
Jolie propriété, spacieuse et pratique. Bien située pour pouvoir rayonner au Portugal Points positifs : piscine dans un jardin arboré a l abri des regards. Machine a laver et étendoir Points négatifs : literie très inconfortable pour un sejour de 15 jours. Les nuits etaient très difficiles et pas du tout reposantes. Mobilier de jardin obsolète et fragile. Ceci dit très bon séjour en famille et magnifique pays Le mobilier de jardin obsolète

Lugar tranquilo
Buen lugar para descansar. La casa está muy bien. Como dicen otros inquilinos los ladridos de los perros es un poco molesto. Dentro de la casa mucho calor. La tv muy pequeña. Nosotros nos llevamos un proyector. Cuidado con los mosquitos. Nosotros compramos mata mosquitos eléctricos que les dejamos puestos para los siguientes no les piquen. Las ventanas necesitarían mosqueteras así se podría ventilar y evitar calor y que no entren los mosquitos. Tuvimos que comprar una bombilla porque en el salón solo había una lámpara pequeña de mesa porque las luces no funcionaban. En la,piscina la escalera el primer escalón es muy profundo. La estancia en la casa la calificaría de muy positiva, la crítica es constructiva. Como puntos de mejora.

Maison rustique agréable
Véritable maison rustique typique Portugaise , jardin et piscine sont agréable surtout en été. Les chambres ,la cuisine , salon sont immense . Malheureusement il y a des points négatif la maison se situé au bord d'une rue où on entend le bruit du passage des véhicules et surtout le bruit des chiens la nuit (gros inconvénient des maisons de ville) Par contre je trouve dommage d'avoir une si petite télé dans ce grand salon et aussi un si petit réfrigérateur heureusement il y en a deux . La personne qui nous a accueilli est très agréable ainsi que la personne qui s'occupe de la piscine .

Casa para descansar
Es una casa de pueblo rehabilitada con mucho gusto. Todas las estancias son amplias, destacando la cocina, que cuenta con una gran mesa y que, junto con el salón, comunican mediante un ventanal a una galería cubierta y al jardín privado, lo mejor de la casa, con árboles de sombra, una piscina, una barbacoa, un porche para comidas y mesa de ping-pong. Las camas son muy cómodas y los cuartos de baño están muy bien. El pueblo es muy tranquilo, permite algunos paseos por el entorno y tiene un típico restaurante portugués (comida sencilla a la brasa, raciones abundantes y precios estupendos). Lo más negativo: ruido excesivo generado por los perros del vecino, el menaje de cocina es mejorable (en especial, las sartenes, muy malas) y los sofás son incómodos.

Great spacious holiday home
Home is located in a small silent village near Santarém. Just 5 minutes away from the highway. Excellent base for visiting either places like Lissabon, Coimbra, the Sintra, or just going to the surf beaches like Peniche or Nazaré. The house itself is spacious, inside and outside. There is a large veranda with lots of shade, pingpong table, nice swimmingpool and excellent equipped bbq-place. House itself can become warm in the sleepingroom, but we slept very well. Great solace to stay with a family

Roomy, comfortable accommodation in a rural environment
Well equipped, authentic, spacious. Helena was very responsive to our inquiries before and during our stay. She was willing to accommodate our special request re pool towels, and left a lovely welcoming bottle of wine for us. Unfortunately, she was not available to meet and orient us when we arrived, so we had no connection to anyone around. Helena left detailed instructions about the cottage and its amenities, but since we are from another continent, there were still situations where we had trouble figuring out how to use equipment, or would have liked information about local services. Having someone nearby to help would have been a great addition. We enjoyed the village setting but felt somewhat isolated from it. The Wifi was challenging to get working. And we had never experienced a 'mobile hotspot' that might require us to 'top up' the payment at an ATM. The cottage is nicely restored and decorated inside. It is somewhat dark inside and needed the lights on all the time. However, this was in October...no doubt it is different in the summer months. A very helpful addition would be a light over the stove - we found it difficult to see easily when we were cooking. It was cool inside the cottage and we used the heaters to keep the temperature comfortable. But as I said, this was in October. The location was perfect for us and allowed us to access places we wanted to see within a day: Coimbra, Evora, Obidos etc. Thank you, Helena,

Jolie maison
La maison est spacieuse et joliment rénovée, elle est bien équipée et très propre. Le jardin est parfait, avec beaucoup d’ombre et à l’abri de tous les regards, nous y avons passé de très bons moments. Une table de ping pong est utilisable à l’ombre ce qui est très pratique. La piscine n’est pas très grande et pas très chaude (ce serait mieux si elle pouvait être couverte la nuit car les nuits sont fraîches) mais notre enfant y a passé de bons moments (pour nous c’etait un peu trop frais). Seul problème ... le bruit ... une route, petite mais passante, longe la maison et la chambre parentale, c’est vraiment bruyant, même la nuit, et cela nous a empêché d’avoir des nuits tranquilles et des grasses matinées, ceci même avec des boules quies ... vraiment dommage, cela aura un peu gâché notre séjour ...

Maison spacieuse à moins d'1h de Lisbonne
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine dans cette maison "jaune" idéalement située. Les pièces sont spacieuses et l'extérieur est parfaitement agencé, ce qui fait que nous n'avons pas profité du salon :-). Chaque chambre a sa salle de bain et la cuisine est fonctionnelle (même si le frigo est un peu petit). La piscine est bien adaptée avec le citronnier à proximité. Le seul bémol vient de l'environnement (non maîtrisable) avec les chiens qui aboient et le coq et les oies au réveil. C'est le plaisir d'être à la campagne ! Sa situation est parfaite avec Obidos, Tomar, Bathala, Alcobaça et Lisbonne a moins d'une heure de route (pour Lisbonne l'autoroute est de 3.70€ ! et le parc des nations est à 50min). .La semaine fut pleine de découvertes et nous étions ravis de revenir nous rafraîchir dans cette maison le soir.

Lovely holiday in Azoia de Baixo
We spent a delightful 2 week holiday in this gem of a house. It was true to the description, roomy and pleasantly decorated, clean and well maintained. It has everything you need. The garden is a real haven and the pool much apreciated in the summer heat. The village is quiet but easily accessible(you need a car) are the lovely nearby town of Santarem and many other towns, historical sites, the coast and Lisbon. We particularly enjoyed visiting the medieval festival in Obidos and bellyboarding at the coast. This area of Portugal has a lot to offer and the people are pleasant and very helpful, Stay in this house if you want to relax in the sunshine but also like to explore the places Portugal has to offer. You won't be disappointed with either.

Lovely villa - recommended
The villa is situated in a small village near to the town of Santarem and within a short distance of a major motorway junction, so road connections are excellent. Santarem is great with excellent places to eat (down market but very good), a daily farmers market and a biweekly travelling market which sells quality shoes and clothes at bargain prices compared with the UK. The village of Azoia de Baixo is very sleepy with a daily bread van, a cafe which occasionally serves people and not much else. Barking dogs are a nuisance but not enough to spoil the holiday. From the village there are interesting walks in all directions on road and across fields but if your sense of direction is as bad as mine then take a satnav. From Santarem station you can park for free and take the train to Lisbon which is definitely worth doing. The villa has high walls on all sides, so you're not overlooked, and a great pool. This means swimming costumes are optional! There's a nice place to eat outside and the small garden has a very relaxing feel. Inside the villa everything is as you'd expect with a well equipped kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a sizeable lounge. No internet and only four Portuguese language TV channels means this place is not for techno freaks (though my company blackberry worked fine through the cellular network, sadly). If you want a base to visit and explore central Portugal then this villa is perfect. The only factors which knocked it down from 5 stars were the night time barking dogs, the paucity of activity in the village and a minor problem with the hot water which the owner is now addressing. But none of these things detracted from thoroughly enjoying the holiday and recommending this villa to anybody who wishes to visit this part of Portugal. We'd happily go again.

Santarem cottage great value
We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage. Very light and cool, the pool was brilliant for the children in the hot weather. Friendly village and great place from which to explore Fatima and Lisbon, as well as being only 1 hour from the beach and within easy reach of Santarem and Obidos. Arrangements with Maria Helena were very smooth and she was helpful and available to offer advice. Would thoroughly recommend it.

Perfect summer holiday property
Two families +55, sister & brother. We spent five wonderful days visiting nearby places. Late afternoons perfect relax on the pool, garden and terrace. Everything clean and well maintained except few corners of the terrace. Accurate pictures and description of the property. Communication with Helena was excellent, many thanks. It is one of the best property which we rented in the last years. We already recommended it to our best friends.

Schönes Haus - aber bitte nicht im Winter!!
Wir waren vom 9. - 16.01.2011 in diesem Haus. Es liegt sehr ruhig in einem typischen Ribatejo-Dorf und sieht wirklich toll aus. Die Einrichtung ist hochwertig, die Betten klasse und der Garten auch im Winter wunderschön. Es gab nur ein Problem: das Haus ist nur mit 3! kleinen mobilen Heizgeräten ausgestattet und das bei der Größe. Es war ca. 16 Grad, als wir dort waren und in dem Haus sind hohe Decken. Es war völlig ausgekühlt und wir haben sehr gefroren und wurden alle krank. Draußen war es tagsüber wärmer als drinnen. Selbst als wir uns einen zusätzliche Gasheizung kauften, wurde es nicht viel besser. Im Sommer isolieren die dicken Wände sicher toll, aber im Winter kann man dort nicht wohnen. Trotzdem ein tolles Haus und von Frühjahr bis Herbst bestens zu empfehlen.
