Host was extremely attentive and supportive with an easy check-in process with lockbox access. The host walked us thru the property on the phone and provided various tutorials for the property. The house was historic within the castle walls giving it a relaxed yet authentic ambience. Would recommend this property and host.

The host was amazing with communication and clarity. Very warm and welcoming and thorough. The house next door is labelled with the year 1700. It seems this house is similarly historic, which is amazing to think about. It is fully renovated and has all the modern conveniences, a real gem of a place. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Bed was comfy.

Fantastic place to stay in the heart of Óbidos

The apartment was a wonderful place to stay in Óbidos. It was spacious and in close walking distance to everything. The back garden was lovely for picnics and Rodrigo was a very attentive host. He always got back to us quickly and had great recommendations for places to eat. We would definitely return again!

Amazing home within a Castle

This beautiful historic home situated within the castle walls in Obidos exceeded our expectations. The home has spacious and full of old world charm and has a lovely & very scenic backyard to relax in when done exploring the old Castle town of Obidos. We would love to visit again one day.

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay at Rodrigo’s home. It is large and comfortable. Rustic in a good way. Especially enjoyed the garden. We used our time to regroup midtrip. We rested, washed clothes, made dinners and sat in the garden. The town center was a few blocks away (though the shops and cafes are mostly timed for the tour buses that come.) we found a large grocery store just outside the walls. Lovely time

A stay to remember

We loved our six nights in the Obidos Castle. We thoroughly enjoyed day trips to the beach, Peniche, Fatima, Batalha, wine tasting and more. The castle are is busy during the day, but so peaceful at night. Rodrigo was the best host I have had (among many rentals on 3 continents). He met us to show us around and was very helpful in helping us both feel at home and explore the region. This 300 year old house was quirky but charming. Don’t hesitate to book!

Amazing stay

Wonderful stay , my wife and I an our 2 teen daughters . Everyone loved it . Plenty of room , great property outside to relax and right in the castle walls. While we did not get to meet Rodrigo in person anything we needed he answered via phone or text almost instantly which was awesome. He helped us out with everything from restaurants to how and where to visit . Would definitely stay again . We had a car and the driving and parking was a little confusing at first but once you figure it out it is very easy again Rodrigo was there on the phone to help us . A must stay if you are in the area

great location inside castle walls

Rodrigo was an excellent host providing great directions and meeting us at the rental to show us around and providing helpful video instructions for all appliances. The bed was extremely comfortable, the backyard was a great place to relax during the short window of sunshine while we were there. Rodrigo's restaurant suggestions were spot on. We found Obidos to be charming, especially after most tourists were gone for the day. Walking through the quiet streets after dark was like going back in time. We took day trips to Peniche and Nazarre, both wonderful spots an easy drive away. This was a peaceful stop after time in busy Lisbon. Obrigada!

Perfect Experience, definitely in the top 3 places ever stayed

Wow, so amazing! Rodrigo was so helpful with a short-notice reservation, and the only sad part is that we were not able to stay longer and enjoy everything available in the home! Perfect location, close to everything inside the castle walls, and so peaceful and quiet, it was the best sleep I had in a long time! If you stay here, plan on a garden picnic, and watching a fun movie with a small fire crackling behind you! Unforgettable! Bravo! I will always stay here when I return to Obidos, and invite friends to book as well :-)
