Converted cottage in a typical Ribatejo village sleeping 4-5 people with pool

The recently (2008) restored semi-detached rural cottage is in a delightful country village, about 45 minutes north of Lisbon easily reached from the main A1 motorway. Located in a typical Ribatejo village with 2 restaurants/cafes, it is ideal for touring central Portugal. There is a small garden with some mature fruit trees (lemon, pomegranate, kaki, walnut) and a magnificent linden tree under which you can spend a lazy summer afternoon by the 6m x 3m swimming pool. There is an open sun deck area with a barbecue and pool shower and a covered area for relaxing or eating outdoors. The house was completely refurbished in 2008 keeping the original façade but the south side of the house is in glass and rustic bricks, which prolongs the kitchen/dining area and the living room into the garden. It is a great location for touring, and Santarém (known as Portugal’s Gothic Capital) is 4km to the South with plenty of shops, cinemas etc and direct motorway link to the beaches 30 minutes away. The cottage is fully licensed with the local Council under the Alojamento Local scheme which ensures compliance with safety standards. Enjoy a lazy and relaxed afternoon in the hammock by the pool before a soccer table match or a ping pong game with your party. If you prefer some action, nearby there is a small horse riding stable providing lessons and carriage rides or play in one of the several golf courses in the area ( Óbidos - 35 mins, Rio Maior - 30 mins. Campo Real and Bom Sucesso - 50mins and 6 courses in Lisbon - 50 mins.) The beaches are about 30 minutes away however, the journey is very easy with a good motorway link. If the size of your party is too big for this house, we also own the adjoining Property 1126401 which may be available.
