The location was perfect for the Obidos lagoon and Obidos town itself. In fact you are only a short drive to beach locations such as Paniche and many more coastal locations all within 30 minutes. The location is particularly good for birding around the lagoon and coastal cliff locations. Plus you are in excellent habitat to hear and see European Nightjars.

This Quinta is owned by a Dutch couple, Jeanette and Pieter. She was there to greet us on arrival with the keys. She opened the door to our cottage and showed us around and explained where everything was. She had already put instruction manuals for the dishwasher etc on an app. She took us to the swimming pool where we met Pieter. Jeanette is lovely and nothing is too much trouble for her, Pieter is more of a back ground person but very pleasant. The garden surrounding our cottage was full of flowers and with plenty of garden furniture. We sat out every morning for coffee, it was lovely. The Quinta is close to Obidos which is great for eating out, nearby beaches, shopping centres and petrol. We had our own car which made life very easy and there was parking outside our home. This is a very nice property and we really enjoyed our fortnight here.

Our only concern was that the cottage felt damp and this made our clothes damp and cold. There is central heating but it was not on, apparently the temperature had not dropped enough for it to be effective. We were supplied with a very efficient electric heater and although the outside temperature was still mid 20's by 4.00pm the sun had gone over and the temperature quickly dropped. This is late September into October. In the mornings the windows were running with condensation which is a real shame as everything else was delightful.

The building is a beautifull conversion and Jaennette and Pieter have done it with a sustainable mentality and touch. It's so nice, and they are super friendly, approachable and non intrusive.

Beautifully presented accommodation in quiet village 5 minutes drive from obidos. We stayed for five nights and couldn’t fault anything about our stay. Good beds, lovely shower plus quality towels and plenty of utensils in the kitchen. The owners clearly have a eye for detail. The place was spotless. Good base to explore the region and to maybe pop into obidos at night for a meal and to stroll. Like everything else, the pool and garden area was well presented. Perfect if you have had enough of exploring and just want to sit in the sun and splash. The owners are very welcoming and couldn’t be nicer.

Nothing.

We were looking for a place to rest and relax, close enough to some points of interest (Óbidos, Foz do Arelho, Caldas da Rainha, etc) but away from the noise and the crowds. Quinta dos Pernobes was the perfect choice! Jeannette and Pieter are lovely, the house is cosy and clean and the pool is delightful. The water was always warm enough that we we could go in right a way, even when the outside temperature was a bit more chilly. The limit of 6 guests allows for a very peaceful atmosphere and the overall vibe of the house (and the hosts) make us feel at home. We had a wonderful time and will definitely consider staying at the Quinta again when we come back to Portugal.
