  Villa Arneiro 1

  - “The location was perfect for our trip requirements..Centrally located to many beaches, Obidos, Tomar, Sintra, Cascais, Peniche, Nazare, Lisbon, several cave sites, dino trackway sites...so there was plenty to do. There was a little grocery store within walking distance of the Villa for day to day needs. It was easy to nagivate around the roads and highways, but you need a gps in the car or google maps, there are no street signs so don't rely on a map to navigate. The villa had AC and a full kitchen to work with, bedrooms were spacous and comfortable. The villa was very safe, clean and beautiful. We liked the self check in and out. We even took a dip in the small pool on the deck. Only about an hour from the airport in Lisbon. This was one of the best vactions we have had for ease of travel and sites to see. The accommodations were perfect for us. We met the owners and they were lovely. We loved feeding the goats and the chickens.”
