Converted stables - double studio 8km Obidos with elevated deck & full kitchen
The Caribbean was originally the stables and home to a donkey and turkeys but with 35sqm you won't feel cooped up in this complete high spec renovation. Accessed by its own private entrance from the spacious central courtyard, it has been fully converted to give you everything you need for your holiday - the bathroom features a custom walk in shower, the kitchen has full oven, gas hob, microwave, Dolce Gusto coffee machine, toaster, kettle and a range of gourmet tools to conjure up something with the figs that you can actually pick from leaning over on your own elevated sun deck. The sunken lounge is reached down stone steps and has a flat screen TV with main UK channels, wifi and a pellet burner, and the glass double doors slide open to the deck with BBQ and valley beyond. The double bed has been inset under a large sleeper beam to providing a cozy comfortable and unique sleeping arrangement with starry sky lights above, however it has been designed that you can easily pull the bed out if you prefer. Although very peaceful we feel QBV is ideally suited being less than 8km from both Obidos and Buddha Eden - the largest oriental garden in Europe. A variety of beaches can be reached within 25 mins including the lagoon at Foz do A'relho or the world class surf beaches at Peniche or Baleal. Lisbon is under an hour away and can be easily reached by bus or Sintra is only 1 hr 20 mins away so we feel we are ideally situated for you to have a very cosy, classy and comfortable home away from home base to relax in after exploring the delights of the Silver Coast and beyond. Knowing how frustrating it can be renting rural properties and arriving to an empty fridge and cupboards, we provide an extensive starter pack including milk, butter, cold meats, cheese, bread, fruit, tea, coffee, wine and beer along with essentials such as washing up liquid, paper towels, oils and vinegars. etc. Recognising the ever restrictive luggage allowances on flights we also provide toiletries and beach towels.
Richard and Sam are the quintessential hosts. They are onsite, but give you full privacy or lively conversation by the fig trees. We stayed in the Caribbean Suite. Although the smallest, it is perfect for 2 people.
When we arrived from the airport, the pantry was fully stocked, which included a hot lunch waiting so we could recover from our international flight vs going to the market for groceries. Sam even gave us some of her tasty homemade tea cake and fresh oranges from her trees on the property.
The kitchen has any tool, pot, or knife needed. And the fresh bread & pastel de nata they brought us...so amazing!
We wound recommend staying with Richard and Sam any time!
High quality accommodation within easy reach of Obidos and Peniche coast. The property was really well equipped, with lots of attention to detail to ensure we had the the best experience. South facing balcony offers additional space to sunbathe, read and eat. Sam and Rich were exceptional hosts.
The overall experience at Quinta do Bom Vento was excellent. By car, the house is only a few minutes driving to Ăbidos and the beaches. The house was very clean, cosy and peaceful. We stayed at the Caribbean house and the view was breath taking, with a great balcony to have a drink, make some barbecue and great memories. The kitchen and the bathroom were very well equipped, the bed and sofa were comfortable and overall, the house was a great place. But what made this house truly great was the hosts; Rich and Sam were amazing, they really know how to make you feel welcome. Their kind spirit is visible in every detail of the house and that is what made this stay truly wonderful.
Smaakvol ingericht appartement met alle comfort. Zeer mooi gelegen op een heuvel met mooi zicht. Ongelooflijk lieve en warme gastheer en gastvrouw, Sam en Rich maken je verblijf onvergetelijk. Een aanrader.

Traumhaftes Apartment in traumhafter Lage, man will nicht mehr weg
Schon bei der Ankunft nach der herzlichen BegrĂŒĂung wurden wir mit frischem Kuchen verwöhnt und der KĂŒhlschrank war voller Lebensmittel, zusĂ€tzlich Obst, Brot, Bier und Wein (alles ohne Extrakosten). Unsere Gastgeber stellten uns auch den anderen GĂ€sten vor und haben es geschafft, dass wir uns sofort wie zuhause fĂŒhlten und nach der 1. Nacht beschlossen, noch lĂ€nger zu bleiben. Leider mussten wir nach vier NĂ€chten weiter, sehr schade! Das Apartment war liebevoll und vollstĂ€ndig eingerichtet mit Kapselmaschine, Backofen, etc. Essig, Ăl, GewĂŒrze uvm., alles war bereits vorhanden. Es gab sogar StrandtĂŒcher, was uns sehr willkommen war, da unsere gewaschen werden mussten. Die Waschmaschinennutzung ist auch kostenlos, Pulver wird gestellt. Alles sind nur kleine Puzzleteile, die aber zusammen zu einem perfekten Aufenthalt fĂŒhrten. Sam, die Vermieterin hĂ€ngte uns am 1. Morgen Brötchen und Kuchen fĂŒr unterwegs an die TĂŒr, Rich brachte uns am Sonntag frisch gebackenes Brot aus dem Steinofen im Dorf. Ach ja, der Blick von unser nicht einsehbaren Terrasse/Balkon war wundervoll - ĂŒber das ganze Tal hinweg. Das Apartment selbst herrlich eingerichtet und dekoriert nach dem Motto Karibik, die HandtĂŒcher im Bad luxus-flauschigweich und dick. Gastlichkeit ist hier nicht aufgesetzt wie in vielen Hotels, sie wird gelebt. Wir sind schon in vielen 5-Sterne-Hotels gewesen, diese Unterkunft schlĂ€gt aber alles. Wir haben auch einige der anderen Apartments gesehen, auch die sind individuell und traumhaft eingerichtet.Wir planen schon den nĂ€chsten Urlaub, denn in Obidos und Umgebung gibt es wirklich viel zu entdecken: KulturschĂ€tze (in Batalha, Alcobaca, Porto de Moz u.a.), herrliche StrĂ€nde oder man macht schöne Wanderungen, zum Beispiel in der Lagune von Obidos.
