Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Valado dos Frades

A peaceful, rural location. The comfortable king size bed gave us our best few nights' sleep for months. We'd prearranged for a supply of groceries and paid them on our arrival. With a good stock of food and drink we could stay local and take advantage of exploring Ruth & Graham's vast expanse of fields with fig and olive trees and rambled through their wood down to the river. The facilities inside the barn/cottage are faultless, we had good internet connection and my husband was able to fulfill his work commitments and conduct a video conference. The bathroom/shower was spotless with strong water pressure so that just a gentle turn of the tap gave us perfect showers. Every aspect of what a visitor might need has been well thought through and provided. We took gentle strolls along tracks near the neighbouring tree plantations where the smell of eucalyptus was cleansing. I enjoyed their spring flowers and flocks of birds. I baked a cake and shared it with our hosts. Will rebook soon.

We stayed at Leonor's litte house for a week and had a wonderful time. The house is situated beautifully in nature and is a great place to explore the area from. The house is small but has what you need with 2 person's. We also enjoyed the frequent visit of Leonor's father's dogs! Perfect place to relax!

Functional, pleasant and spacious house. As described and photos. Host welcoming and responsive. There are no negative points. We had a great time. You can rent this house without hesitation. If we return to Portugal, we will undoubtedly try to rent this house again. There were 8 of us, 7 adults and 1 child. The pool is lovely. And the hosts are very welcoming. The bottle of wine offered on arrival is a bonus that is very much appreciated.

We loved our month’s stay at Arlinda’s place - a house full of art and history - especially appreciated Arlinda’s creative use of driftwood and branches that made for functional and interesting spaces - 3 outdoor spaces! Her home is right outside the castle walls, easy to walk into the center -

Maria’s apartment was charming and well-equipped and beautifully situated in the center of town—but slightly removed from the noise and hustle. She was a very gracious host and we were very glad we stayed there.

The space and accommodation exceeded expectations, from the outdoor space with a super unobstructed view to the interior. Mr. Francisco was super attentive to us and flexible with our requests, we will certainly return. Thank you.

Very nice place, quiet area. Very comfortable house, spacious with beautiful decoration. Takeaway a one minute walk away. Close to shops and beach. I enjoyed the mix of traditions, authenticity, and modernity. Excellent typical and inexpensive restaurants to discover. I recommend this house.

Rafael, was the perfect host and gentleman. The location is unbeatable and his dining recommendations were spot on. We really appreciated the little personal touches (fruit, bread, cheese, ham, croissants ++). The pick up and drop off service were a surprise and greatly appreciated. We, our family and friends will be back. Have a good Summer Rafael. Thank you

The apartment was exactly the same as in the description, super arranged. The location is quiet and the view is beautiful.

We had a lovely stay at Åse’s place. Åse and her husband were very friendly and generously provided us with fresh eggs and oranges from their farm. They also shared helpful recommendations for places to visit in the area.

This is my second stay at this wonderful apartment. It is like home away from home. The location on Nazare Beach is the PERFECT location. Across the street from the beach. Close to restaurants and shopping. Very clean. The hosts are so kind and very responsive. I miss Nazare and this apartment already. Thank you very much! Muito Obrigada!

The location was a perfect start for our explorations! Drivable to Narare, Cascais, Sintra and more. It was quiet, clean and exactly as described. Would stay again!

We spent 3 nights there with my wife and daughter. The apartment is superb, so equiped like a home. Very modern, very new and in a great condition. Huge roooms and balcony with furniture and a distant view to the beach. Everything was clean and tidy, got towels rolled up on our beds like in a hotel. The place comes with its own underground garage that allows to keep your car safe. However quiet tight and tricky to manouver. However front of the building there are parking lots that are also free. We had a little issue with the boiler at first nights, but the owner was very responsive and helpful, showed up quickly and solved the problem. It felt we were in good hands. The only problem we had is we booked only 3 noghts, but could have stayed for the whole week. The beach is in walking distance, 15 mins, but downhill, so coming up takes more time. I really recomend the place fantastic apartmant at a beautiful place.

Very clean, hosts very friendly. It was a nice stay

Álvaro's house was impeccable and he always responded super fast. The house is very well equipped and the area is quiet.

We highly recommend Lina's apartment. Everything is there for a great stay. The accommodation is very well equipped, decorated and extremely clean. The beds are comfortable and there is a beautiful view of the sea. Lina takes good care to welcome us (in French for us) by giving us all the information about her place and Nazaré. In short, a beautiful stay! Thank you Lina!

We had a truly authentic Portuguese experience at Jorge’s! Highly recommend! Jorge and his family were extremely friendly and welcoming. They were so sweet, prepared Christmas treats and gifts for us which we appreciate very much. The apartment is comfortable, pristine clean, very well equipped and centrally located just a short ride away from Leiria. We felt right at home quickly and spent many hours on the patio soaking in the sun and the gorgeous view of the village. It is easy to explore Cortes and the surrounding area on foot. Check out the well designed casa-museu Joao Soares and historic church just next door. It was convenient to have the grocery store within walking distance. We met many friendly locals in the village even tho we did not speak Portuguese. Could not ask for a more perfect vacation. Muito obrigado!!

Fantastic spot, great accommodation Mr Fernando was very helpful and polite. Responding to all questions. Some historical areas of interest close by too.

We were very satisfied, especially the great garden and billiards room were great. The house is in a very quiet area, you could listen to the birds chirping. Overall a very spacious place to stay, we were satisfied.

Wonderful place! In a great location with beautiful view of sunset. Lot of fun things to do with the pool and basement. Overall amazing stay!

We had the great pleasure of spending six wonderful days in Jorge's fantastic villa near Nazaré – and can recommend the accommodation without reservation! Jorge was an exceptionally friendly and helpful host who made us feel welcome from the first moment. He was always available if questions arose and always tried to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The villa itself is beautifully located, quiet and offers a wonderful view. It is very well equipped and leaves nothing to be desired. The fantastic pool, which provided refreshment and fun for young and old every day, is particularly noteworthy. We also greatly appreciated the leisure opportunities on the property - the foosball table and the pool table, although a bit old, were a great change and not only gave the children a lot of fun. Thank you Jorge!

Our group had the most amazing time staying at Andreia's place and we'll definitely book again if we can!

This is a magical place and we are very thankfull that we could make it our home for a long weekend. It was beautiful from the inside and the outside. With cosy corners to sit and read by yourself, or nice bigger tables to eat or chat with the whole group together. The pool, the view, it is even more breath taking then on the pictures. We really had the most amazing time with our group of friends! Thank you Sergio!

We thoroughly enjoyed our family holiday at this lovely quirky characterful villa. The welcome was fantastic with a table laid out with delicious foods by Adelia. The outside terraces around the pool are beautiful with stunning views and sunsets. We also made good use of the barbecue. We were there with 6 adults and 2 babies. There is literally nothing missing in the house, everything is catered for, even 2 highchairs! When we had an issue with the lack of hot water, our hosts responded promptly and things were resolved. We can highly recommend this lovely house. The local restaurant is also worth a visit where Susanna will cook up a storm.
