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!

Everything I hoped it would be!
I had a few technical issues with service which made it a bit frustrating but Rodrigo was very gracious and helped us through the entire check in making sure we were completely set up. Everything was very well appointed and clean and the back yard was so relaxing and beautiful! We loved our stay and would easily recommend it for a stay that transports you to another world! Thank you again, Rodrigo. It was absolutely magical. up

Our Stay in the Castle
We had a fantastic stay in our castle on the hill. It was a fun few days staying inside the castle walls and we especially loved wandering the roads toward the end of the day when the crowds had left. Rodrigo the property owner was fantastic to work with. He was on the phone with us as we drove into Obidos, even guiding us on where to park. He even assisted us in fabulous dinner reservations. The apartment is darling and so very cool. We even had a horse drawn carriage drive right underneath our open windows. Only in Obidos. There were only two of us but there is lots of room for a family to enjoy. There is a beautiful little yard that we could have spent the entire week reading and just enjoying. If you are thinking of staying here do it. You will love it. Such a unique experience.

Six stars! Great place for couple or family
If I could rate this 6 stars, I would! Located just inside the Medieval wall surrounding the town of Obidos, the apartment was easily accessible from one of the entrances. Our gracious host, Rodrigo was an excellent communicator prior to our arrival and helped us with our luggage and getting settled. He even offered to make a dinner reservation for us which we greatly appreciated. A very comfortable bed, a cozy living room / dining area with fireplace and plenty of firewood, a well equipped kitchen, lovely modern tiled, new bathroom with lots of hot water. The apartment has been lovingly maintained with all the comforts and only enhanced our experience of this not to be missed Medieval Town. Highly recommend!

Highlight of Our Trip
Staying in Óbidos was the highlight of our trip, and it should have never happened. Our scheduled VRBO did not give us entry and was unresponsive. I messaged a couple places last minute to see if anyone could help and was quickly accommodated by the incredibly gracious hosts here. This is the only VRBO I've ever stayed at that felt like a home. There are ample kitchen supplies, living plants, interesting pieces of art and decor, and a full patio garden that is obviously cared for. I had considered this place before booking but didn't because of the one bathroom. Knowing I was traveling with three teens means getting out of the house is always a challenge. I shouldn't have worried. Maybe we didn't get out quite as quickly, but it didn't matter. Right out the front door is an incredibly rich community to explore. Shops, history, and just a beautiful setting to enjoy at your leisure. I was perfectly happy to wander while the kids took all the time they wanted. I'm glad my original plans didn't work out. It turned what would have been a challenging experience into an absolute joy, and I thank the hosts and housekeeping staff whole heartedly for that.

Lovely Fairytale Stay
We loved the magical experience of stepping back in time in this 300 year old home that has been lovingly upgraded to meet the comforts of the 21st century. Tastefully blended with contemporary art while maintaining old world charm, the home meanders and winds much like the town. The backyard is a lovely place to take a day off from walking on cobblestones swaying in the hammock watching the clouds go by and gazing at the fairytale castle walls and charming neighboring homes. Rodrigo is a perfect host, communicating promptly with kindness. I wish we could have stayed longer and hope to come back.

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 :-)

Lovely stay
The apartment is in an old house in an ancient walled city . So you have to expect some quirkiness . The inlaid wooden floors were gleaming and the balcony doors opening to the street was charming . When the horse drawn cart walked by you stepped back in time . This house is located within the walls but a bit away from the bustle of the retail area. It is an easy 100 mts. Away . The furnishings were electric and a bit out of character but imagine they were from Asian travels . The bathroom is a bit of a let down . While clean it had an accordion door and really could Use some updates. The kitchen tiny bit functional . The best part was the little patio garden where we spent our mornings and evenings. The back garden with lime trees and some grass area to stretch out . Rodrigo was very attentive and responded to my requests immediately. Overall a charming stay in a beautiful setting
