A truly delightful property in the heart of Obidos. It was the perfect location to enjoy the many experiences that make Obidos so uniquely special.The property was perfectly located and had all the needed amenities and then some.Our host, Gabriela, was always available to us and most helpful in guiding us to the property (parking, walking directions and other places to see and experience).Portugal in general and Obidos in particular was and amazing and truly magical experience.You won't go wrong by staying at this property.

We were really impressed by how thoughtfully appointed everything in this spotlessly clean, and charmingly decorated cottage was. Its location right off the center off the “main drag” was also a plus. We used all the laundry detergent, and our host immediately dispatched her representative to refill us and show us the tricks of the system.Highly recommended if you want the full immersive Obidos experience!

Adorable home in beautiful walled town

Our host was extremely friendly and helpful, and patiently resent parking and arrival instructions after my VRBO app stopped working. The house was very clean, with a well-equipped kitchen and bathroom. Beds were comfortable. Location is quiet and pretty. We would stay here again.

The host Gabriel is outstanding and very responsive as well gave us tips on parking. The charming and quaint cottage is inside Obidos castle. It’s a picturesque town and you can walk around and get spectacular views. We enjoyed the Capinha bakery especially their coconut orange and sweet potato raisin cookies. They bake delicious brioche bread as well. The Filligree museum was very interesting too.

Loved it!

Perfect place to end our trip to Portugal on! Wish we had more time there. We were grateful to have the opportunity to experience Obidos at its quietest; and thankful the church bells do no begin ringing until 9 am. :) The beds were very comfortable and the cottage is very well appointed. A magical place- loved every minute!

Could not have been more perfect!

This spacious impeccably clean and fully equipped cottage is a perfect oasis located on a quiet side lane of Obidos, which during the day is crowded with tourists. The picturesque rental offers the perfect antidote to the daily crowds by providing a wonderful opportunity to experience the town before and after business hours, or offering a comfortable base to explore nearby towns and the surrounding countryside. It really is a home away from home and as soon as we entered the place we wished we were staying more than 1 night. The rental provided us with a most memorable stay, thank you Maria!

Short stay

We had a great start. I mistakenly booked the wrong date and the host quickly accommodated. Unfortunately after our stay it was the complete opposite. The host has made false accusations albeit this is unclear because of the language differences and this is currently under investigation.

Lovely cottage in Obidos

Lovely cottage in the heart of medieval Obidos. It was very clean, quiet, and bright. The kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed. The owner - Gabriela - was extremely thoughtful. She anticipated all of our needs (i.e. had purchased snacks and a liter of milk for breakfast for the first morning, and arranged for a taxi to assist us during our stay). She was an absolutely wonderful host! I would highly recommend staying here. Obidos has a rich history - there is a lot to see and do! Taxi driver (Candido) was also very helpful.

Lack of communication

Although the accommodation was beautiful and the location is very charming, the lack of communication from the homeowner made for a bad experience. From the beginning I asked if there was parking infront of the house because I had a relative with a disability coming in and I am aware that Obidos is filled with steep hills. I was told yes, however the parking was outside the town. We had to carry my 67 year old aunt inside the house. From my 5 years experience of renting through home away, as soon as I book the accommodation, the owner always sends me an email of what's expected to happen and house rules. They also tell me where they hide the keys so I can come in as late as I please. I did not get this with the homeowner I felt like I had to nag her for responses. Even then, she would tell me "let's take care of it later". While I was in Portugal, there was no communication until the day of. I had no internet so I did not receive any of the homeowner's messages. I texted her around 8:50pm letting her know I was going to have dinner and that I was 30 minutes away...to which her response was "you have until 10pm to retrieve your keys." I understand that her accommodation isn't a hotel, however I did purchase a night and didn't feel it was appropriate for me to have a curfew. This relationship was a business one, not a personal one where I am told when I should come in, especially 1 hour before. What would have happened if I hadn't texted her? In turn, I was not able to have dinner until 11pm, at a fast food burger joint. She also did not communicate with me that she needed to do a check in process...a legal requirement in Portugal that I never heard of before. Although the homeowner is very friendly and the house is beautiful, I would never book to stay here again and wouldn't recommend it to any of my friends.

The property was in a wonderful location and immaculate. Gabriela provided lovely amenities and was extraordinary in her communications. Never having been there, she anticipated many details for us including precise directions to this walled city and parking. Her welcome was truly warm!

The owner, Gabriella is wonderful! She cares very much that her guests are happy. The home has everything you’d need and is charming. Obidos is a very old town and the home is also old, but fully functional. It has the fastest internet I’ve ever had in Europe! Lots of great places to eat and all within the walls. Two big grocery stores are a 10 minute walk away. Thank you Gabriella!

Poor Communication

We did not receive a message from Gabriela until 12:00pm the day of the rental and when I asked for directions to the property she did not provide them, even when I asked twice for the information over a span of the hours 1200-1500. We visited the tourist haven of Obidos and quickly left due to the hoards of tourist buses and crowds. We had a flight to catch back home the following morning so opted for another night stay at a hotel in Lisbon instead. I can't comment on the property however the communication from Gabriela was lacking the information we asked, namely the address so we could reach the location to check-in!!!

on est à l'aise

Une maison agréable en plein centre de Obidos. Si, en journée, on peut craindre la foule des touristes, on a la ville pour soi en matinée et fin de journée. Une occasion de retrouver la ville comme elle était. La maison est propre et la proprio super sympa! Il y a de la place pour 3 personnes. Accès en voiture possible, mais délicat vu l’étroitesse des ruelles.
