We have one other villa able to sleep this number of people and which is

up bed for a child.

Please let me know if you would like me to reserve either of these for you.

A Lareira restaurant was excellent - food and service first class
This was our second visit to the villa and we hope to return in the future.

We reported 2 problems on Sunday the day after arrival and they were dealt with immediately which was very reassuring. We were kept informed of arrangements to deal with lack of hot water and broken tv and both repair people arrived exactly when they said they would.

A very lovely villa, well presented and beautifully clean, a pleasure to stay. Many thanks, would come again. Area beginning to be built up, hope it doesn't spoil the location.

Casa da Praia is a wonderful place to enjoy the silver coast. Excellent location amazing view from the terasse, private beach just under the house.
Sunset, waves, natural beaches ... what we would wish for a perfect holiday.
Thank you very much!

Amazing location, stunning views, love the pool. We particularly enjoyed our trip to Baleal - fabulous views, beach and bars.
In bedroom 3, top drawer, somebody has left their mobile phone and some other belongings.

The space was great - area around pool terrific. The essentials of the villa were good, perhaps a dvd or satellite would be useful. Overall a nice place good for getting away from it all.

Really lovely villa, beutiful garden and excellent pool

We had a good time, lovely apartment great golf course. Great beach.
Restaurants - Solar dos Amigos - Guisado Surprising, amazing steaks. Difficult to find as not on map. Great experience.
Clubhouse could do with a revamp. Lacks atmosphere. Great potential, has great views

I think you undersell what is available in Foz. Apart from a large supermarket there is everything you need - bank, PO, bakery, mini-market, butchers...
Excellent standard of equiptment in house except for fabric settee. Everything else very high standard.

Really impressed with the property, very high specification and lots of nice surprises such as the generous welcome pack, the playstation, the postcards and stamps and the overall impression that both the owners and Portugal Holiday Destinations genuinely wanted us to have a good time.

Villa was lovely. First class in terms of value for money.
Would throughly recommend this company - attention to detail and individual requirements were second to none - best ever experienced in 20+ years of holidaying abroad. Thank you for making our holiday!

The welcome back was particularly welcome! We arrived at lunchtime and it was a lovely surprise!

A very pleasurable and comfortable holiday - superb!!

We were looking for a Portugal Golf Holiday and went to the Silver Coast and had the best holiday ever. I recommend you check them out!
July 2, 2009 6:18 PM |link| Portugal Holiday Destinations commented:
Thanks for your post. The URL you included did not have a return links page so I was unable to use it.
You're right of course, but there is much more to a good holiday than just the cleanliness, which is why we insist on all property owners using a professional and local management service with a full visitor service.
No property will be featured by PHD unless we have visited the property, checked it for suitability for holiday rental, verified its safety, and ensured that the owner is cognisant of all licensing and other appropriate regulations.
We will not feature a property unless there is a local and professional property management service contracted to look after the property and the holiday maker during their stay.
Unlike other holiday villa web sites we do not allow potential renters to upload a few images, type in a quick text description, and build a web page for themselves automatically. Often these services are available for a small fee, and sometimes free of charge or paid for by advertising on the site.
This kind of service offers no guarantee to the holiday maker, that the villa is safe, clean, and compliant with regulations. Indeed it also leaves the customer unsure of whether there will even be a villa when he reaches his destination. It has been known for unscrupulous individuals to rent out non-existent villas!
We do not accept properties unless payment is made using secure payment processing systems which retain the villa rental payment until after the client has checked out of the villa.
Take a look at our site for more details.

Nice post!
When you're planning a holiday the last thing you want is to have problems with the place that you're staying in. You want a great place to stay, you want it to be clean and convenient.

Hello,
You can see prices and availability for this villa at:-
http://www.portugalholidaydestinations.com/netos.shtml
I don't think it fits your dates perfectly, but it does have some availability in July and August.
Your best bet is to make a booking enquiry at
http://www.portugalholidaydestinations.com/booking_enquiry.php?products_id=71
and we'll suggest something else if the villa is not available.
Either that or take a look yourself at the full range of villas at:-
http://www.portugalholidaydestinations.com/villas.shtml
Each villa page has it's own availability calendar.

Yes, many of the owners of properties shown on the website at:-
http://www.portugalholidaydestinations.com
will offer special rates for much longer periods. Take a look at the web site and decide which type of property you are interested in and send in an enquiry direct to the property owners via the email link you will find on each property page.
Alternatively contact the local property managers in Portugal at:-
http://www.villa-management.com/
and tell them what you are looking for and they will forward your enquiry on to suitable owners.
You didn't say what type of property, or indeed how long you had in mind, so we can't offer you any more details for the moment.
Please let us know if we can be of further help.
June 4, 2009 3:11 AM |link| Silver Coast Property commented:
John,
That's an interesting comment. It sounds like you've had a negative experience of staying in the countryside.
Much of the area around the Obidos lagoon is residential, and especially so close to the beaches, and in such areas shooting would not be permitted.
We've lived in Portugal for 23 years now, and our first home in Caldas da Rainha was very much outside of town and surrounded by fields. We regularly experienced the sounds of the wild west as hunters took potshots at everything that moved.
The laws regarding how close to residential property you were allowed to shoot were casually ignored back then and we pointed out the law to a few of our gun toting neighbours.
I've not encountered anything like that in the last ten years in the area of Obidos / Caldas, as the law is much better enforced nowadays, and if I did encounter anyone shooting within 50 metres of a residence I'd certainly complain to the police.
You are right though, a gated community like the golf resort of Praia del Rey, which is where Richard was suggesting they take 2 properties, is not likely to have any hunters roaming around taking pot shots.
There will not be many single properties available that will comfortably accommodate 16 people.
Regards,
David.

Dear reader,
I just want to ask if you have property which can be rented for a longer period at a reasonable price.
Kind regards,

I would have one villa. The hunting season is 7 months long in Portugal and walking between sites with hunters who feel they own the countryside taking pot shots at your children is no fun (for you anyway).
Avoid country areas …, go for gated communities …
