Description
Casa Foz sleeps 6 in a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom spacious, fully equipped modern house in the heart of Portugal's unspoilt and beautiful Silver Coast. The house is set in a quiet location close to local amenities and the lagoon/beach. The house has a large south facing terrace with brick BBQ, which, together with two of the bedrooms, have views over the lagoon and surrounding countryside.
The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, and as with the other two twin rooms, has fitted wardrobes and ample storage space. The large kitchen has everything you need for self catering. The house is in a condominium of four houses. The house has 2 small landscaped gardens. The house has central heating and is therefore ideal for exploring this beautiful region of Portugal off-season. Foz Do Arelho is 2 minutes walk. Golf nearby. The house is not suitable for more than six adults.
The house has Internet/WiFi and 140 digital TV channels.
Other information: The lagoon is 10 minutes walk, the beach 5 minutes further on. The lagoon provides safe bathing for children. It is also excellent for some watersports and fishing.
There are numerous cafes/restaurants along the lagoon and beach. Foz beach is a fantastic strip of fine golden sand. Other beaches such as Sao Martinho are 15 mins drive.
Foz Do Arelho is 2 minutes walk. Foz is a village but has mini-market, bar/cafes, restaurants, health centre, tourist office, pharmacy, a bank and a fishing tackle shop.
The house remains cool in the summer, but central heating is available for low season use. Our helpful, English-speaking agent can provide office facilities (internet/email/telephone access) and is available within walking distance. The house is situated on a quiet road, and parking on it is very safe.
Praia D'El Rey and Golden Eagle golf courses are only 15/30 minutes drive. There are several courses nearer Lisbon 1 hour away
Accommodation: The house had beds and facilities for a maximum of six people only, although one or two extra infants could be accommodated using our agent's cots (available to rent). The house itself does not contain a cot or highchair.

Location description
Many people visit this area for the unspoilt sandy beaches, and Foz also has the benefit of being situated on the Obodos lagoon.
We also recommend the following places as worth visiting:-
The monastery at Alcobaca
Buddha Eden at Bombarral
The medieval walled city of Obidos
The Caves (Grutas) at Mira de Aire and elsewhere
The beach at Sao Martinho do Porto is a good family beach with plenty of shops, although all the beaches on this stretch of coast are fantastic. Baleal near Peniche is also particularly good, especially for surfers.
It is a great place for walking, with pine and eucalyptus forests, and stunning coastal views.
Local events
There are several festivals throughout the year.
Directions
It is best to hire a car if travelling from abroad, preferably from Lisbon airport - about an hour's drive up the A8 motorway. From the UK, various airlines such as TAP (Air Portugal), British Airways and Easyjet operate regular low cost flights.

Guestbook
Perfect holiday
We stayed at the house for 12 days in late July 2014, and thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Foz.
The house is bigger than it looks in the photos, and had everything you need for a self-catering holiday. It was clean and well-presented. All the bedrooms are very spacious and the living area a great space, the kitchen is huge! We had three teenagers with us (two adults) it was a perfect size. We had an en-suite shower room and the teenagers shared the main bathroom.
The owners had thoughtfully provided some beachware. We did not miss not having a pool at all as the beach is a short distance away, we drove most days and it was a quick 2 minutes, about 15 minutes walking.
Each morning, we sat on the patio, basking in the warmth of the sun, enjoying breakfast whilst looking over the Lagoon.
Each evening, we sat on the balcony, sipping wine, looking out over the village, before heading out to one of the excellent local restaurants.
We particularly liked the food at the Tavola, and the both the food and view at the fish restaurant on the beach.
There is easy access to the beach and countryside, and the local towns and sights were amazing.
We recommend the Buddha Eden which is about 30 km south, with its landscaped gardens, lakes and incredible sculptures and monuments.
The beaches at Baleal, Sao Martinho and Foz itself are amazing. The only negative was the weather, which was unusually cloudy for the time of year.
This is Portugal at its best, far from the commercial and busy Algarve. Would certainly recommend the property and hope to return in the future.
