Casa Filipa - Four Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 8

Just a short drive from the historic town of Santarém, Casa Filipa is a relaxed family-friendly villa and a fantastic base for exploring Lisbon, Belém, and Portugal’s western coastline. Set within spacious gardens with a private pool and tennis court, the villa offers the perfect blend of outdoor living and traditional comfort.
A classic casa ribatejana, Casa Filipa retains its local architectural charm, with light, unfussy interiors and plenty of space for up to nine guests. The four bedrooms are simply styled and practical, including a twin room ideal for children. The kitchen is well-equipped for home cooking, while the open-plan living and dining areas offer a natural flow that suits easygoing group stays.
Patio doors open out onto sunny terraces, where adults can unwind and children can play within view. Gather around the large dining table inside, or enjoy relaxed barbecue dinners in the garden. Whether you’re dipping into the pool, playing a casual game of tennis, or sampling local wine under the parasol, Casa Filipa makes it easy to settle in and slow down.
*** Please note that the house is old, and some parts of the property have not been reformed. There is also a cat on the property.

Location:

Casa Filipa is located just a few kilometres from the charming town of Santarém, known as the Gothic capital. With Lisbon just a 45-minute drive away and the popular towns of Fatima, Foz do Arelho and Peniche only 30 minutes away. The fascinating nearby Santarém offers visitors a great insight into a town once renowned as the strongest fortress in the kingdom! Its origins can be traced back to the Iron Age, and its cultural events and celebrations still attract large crowds today – including the ‘Feira de Ribatejo’, a 10-day agricultural fair abound with folk dancing, bullfights, bull-running and stalls of local produce!Portugal itself is a small, fascinating country at the most Western point of mainland Europe. The capital, Lisbon, is known for its lively nightlife, with endless bars and clubs full of fun-loving locals and tourists alike, but also has plenty of fascinating history (check out Belém, jam-packed with monuments!) and undulating terrain, famously termed the ‘city of the seven hills’. With a vast coastline that meets the mighty Atlantic Ocean, Portugal is a real paradise for the keen surfer, or indeed even those looking to try it for the first time, with plenty of surfing schools all along the calmer sections of the coast. Of course, it is not only the world-famous waves but also the utterly pollution-free water, and the lack of deadly sharks found in warmer areas that put it so firmly on the map as the surfing Mecca of the world. And even for those less keen on the idea of surfing, the beaches of Portugal are well worth a visit for their beautifully clear waters, and almost all have a bar at which you can enjoy a tipple. Other active pursuits include a sublime cycling trip through the undulating and picturesque scenery of Geres, or indeed white-water rafting on the river Douro! Alternatively, a scenic hike through the Natural Reserve of Peneda-Gerês, the Douro Valley and Serra da Estrela will allow you a real up close and personal experience with all kinds of wildlife. For those more into the gentle pace of golf, Portugal is a real haven, with 14 of the world’s top 100 best golf courses!
