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.

It was excellent. The home is spacious and conducive for relaxation. The host is super-responsive to questions & concerns. It is right in the historic hearth of Obidos. The only suggestion I would have would be to provide fans, as the house is not air-conditioned.

Family vacation in Obidos

The location was great. Close to castle gate for easy check in, wonderful views from back private garden and a short walk to all the shops and restaurants. Such a unique property inside the castle walls. Rodrigo was great, very responsive to all our questions.

The charm of staying within the walls. We especially enjoyed being in the garden...we were fortunate with excellent weather. Obidos was our favorite part of our 2 week trip...though we loved all of Portugal!

Amazing Time In Obidos

The property was amazing. Close proximity to the castle, cute little patio, nice garden. The rooms were large. The host was amazing! I even met his wonderful mother who loaned me an umbrella. Couldn't ask for anything more of a property.

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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!
