About this property
Stylish farmhouse with fabulous sun room in 4 acre valley only 7km from Obidos
The Atlantic is the original farmhouse at Quinta do Bom Vento. Now completely renovated with a feature 22 sqm sun room boasting beautiful valley views, it offers a very stylish and spacious base in which to explore the Silver Coast and beyond. Accessed by its own private entrance from the spacious centre courtyard, modern comforts abound within the traditional Portuguese design which was built with metre-thick walls out of local stone. The interior has been gutted and renovated, and you will be relieved to know that the original exterior bathroom and kitchen have now been brought indoors! Although there were originally 2 bedrooms they were small and now we have knocked them in to 1 to provide a lovely Queen size bedroom, with wardrobe and dressing table. In addition the large conservatory has a separate small WC and plenty of space for an additional single bed if required. The main bathroom also has a WC and a walk in custom built shower. The fully fitted kitchen is very comprehensive with full oven and hob, fridge and freezer, microwave, coffee maker and toaster. With an interior of 67 sqm there is also space for a breakfast bar and dining table and you have your own private terrace for outside dining too. This overlooks the garden with your own path to the valley.
Quinta do Bom Vento has 4 other rental conversions, but all have their own private entrances and outdoor terraces. There is a central courtyard should you want to socialise or rent with friends whilst still preserving your own private space. You are free to walk in the 4 acre wooded valley or meander off on the paths beyond.
A car is essential but at only 7km from Obidos and Buddha Eden we feel QBV is in the ideal position to provide a peaceful and very comfortable base. We designed the quintinhas as homes as opposed to rentals and we believe the quality of furnishings, linens and towels reflect that. Knowing how frustrating it can be renting rural properties and arriving to an empty fridge and cupboards, we provide an extensive starter pack including milk, butter, cold meats, cheese, bread, fruit, tea, coffee, wine and beer along with essentials such as washing up liquid, paper towels, oils and vinegars. etc. Recognising the ever restrictive luggage allowances on flights we also provide toiletries and beach towels.

Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Lovely location and hosts
We spent perfect days here. The room was fabulous and the views were so beautiful. My husband and I both feel like we got to experience the real Portugal here vs. the bigger cities of Lisbon and Porto. The hosts, Sam and Rich were so hospitable and made us feel very welcome with treats delivered to our door almost every day 😊
We hope to return someday.
Sam and Rich, come visit us in Seattle !

Surpassed expectations
Whilst the listing is accurate it still underplays what a wonderful property this is, with a level of luxury, quality of hospitality and attention to detail usually found in boutique hotels. Sam and Rich have created here an oasis of tranquility that, even when the wind is gusting down the valley, pervades the place inside and out.
Our property - Atlantic - had everything you could wish for by way of mod cons, and the 'welcome basket' far exceeded what most places would offer. On our way to the property we called in at a supermarket to pick up a few things we thought they wouldn't include, such as breakfast cereals, fruit juice, treats, only to find all these and more when we arrived! Everything exuded quality, from the furnishings to the toilet paper.
Rich and Sam were also attentive to our needs during our stay. Though we largely tend to be quite self sufficient, they still provided some useful tips we never would have found in guidebooks, such as the brunch in the park in Caldas da Rainha, only on weekends, which we loved. Sam's culinary skills, the product of which she shared from time to time, also put some local restaurants to shame. And the fresh bread and pastries she delivered to our door on a couple of days was a welcome bonus.
The location of the property was great - only half an hour from the beach, 10 minutes to Obidos, an hour from Lisbon (we went by bus, but it's the same to drive if you want), and the 'Disneyesque' Sintra a similar drive. There's walking trails straight from the door, and if you want steeper hills, head to Montejunto 30-40 minutes to the south.
All in all a perfect place for our stay in this part of Portugal. Many thanks to Rich and Sam for their hospitality and generosity. Would strongly recommend.

Faultless accommodation, with superb hosts in a beautiful rural setting
Our expectations were exceeded! We arrived to warm greetings, a fridge full of food and a roast chicken! The accommodation was superb with great attention to detail. From the lounge and the terrace we enjoyed wonderful panoramic views across the surrounding countryside.
We stayed a week and found plenty to do including trips to Obidos, Buddha Eden, the coast and mountains and windmills inland - as well as walking in the extensive grounds of QBV.
All in all, the best self-catering accommodation that we have ever stayed in!

FABULOUS
We had a wonderful stay. The cottage was pristine, the views lovely, and the owners warm and very kind. When we arrived, we found a fully stocked refrigerator. There was no need to leave, except that there were things to see and do. The ocean was close by, Obidos around the corner and historic monasteries and convents to wander. My husband and I stay at many vacation homes as we travel and we both agreed this was the best. I highly recommend.

Great stay near Obidos!
We could not have asked for a nicer stay. Sam and Rich are warm and welcoming hosts. They've renovated an old farmhouse and outbuildings with loving care and attention to detail. Our apartment was comfortable, spacious and well equipped. The view was wonderful. The bed was super comfortable. We felt completely at home.
The property is 5-10 minutes from the Obidos parking lot and is set in a lovely agricultural valley with vineyards as well as pear and apple orchards.
Great location for day trips to the nearby coast, north to Tomar, Fatima, Batalha, Alcobaca to the north and Sintra to the south.
There are nearby restaurants. The kitchen is very well equipped and there is a nearby grocery for provisions.
We told Sam and Rich that they would need a crowbar to get us to leave. It nearly came to that! Would recommend highly to friends and family.

Beautiful stay between the vineyards and fruit trees
We stayed four nights at Quinta do Bom Vento and it was MARVELOUS. The hosts are excellent, they take care of everything, including all gastronomic possibilities. At our arrival in the evening, we could enjoy grilled chicken with a nice bottle of wine. Breakfast was also taken care of, the fridge was full of delicious things and every two days there was fresh bread and Portuguese sweet delicacies.
The accommodation is beautiful and offers a lot of comfort and privacy, we could easily start living there. It felt as being home in a natural environment with full of scenic beauty. From there we could visit a lot, from historic little towns and monasteries to beaches and green hills. Walks are also possible in the near surroundings. We definitely would love to come back!

Génial !
Nous avons été admirablement accueillis par Sam et Rich, des hôtes extraordinaires, plein d’attentions à l’égard de leurs locataires.
Dés notre arrivée dans cette jolie résidence très agréable,bien entretenue et paisible, Sam et Rich nous attendaient avec des petits de mot bienvenue. Dans la maison mise à notre à disposition, tout était intégré pour nous permettre de passer un agréable séjour y compris de nombreux ingrédients pour nos repas (fruits et légumes du jardin, céréales, café, thé, vins de la région...). Au cours de notre séjour nos hôtes nous ont également gâtés avec quelques délicieuses pâtisseries et d’excellents pains. Ils ont été de bons conseils pour nos visites. Merci infiniment à Sam et Rich pour leur générosité et leur gentillesse.
