There is everything you need in Alvaiázere about 7 kms away and there are plenty of activities nearby: beaches on the banks of the river, caves, hiking. .... and that's without counting on the kindness and accuracy of the information given by the owners (all that is put in the advertisement corresponds to what you will find on the spot). It is an ideal base to discover another Portugal while leaving the possibility to spend a day on Lisbon and / or Porto or to Nazare and discover the surroundings of Alvaiazere. We highly recommend this location !!!’ The house is located within a few minutes drive of the A13, close to the small market town of Cabaços and just 20 minutes from the World Heritage town of Tomar. There is a bar/café with a mini-market within 10 minutes walk. Lisbon and Porto are a 1.5 hour drive away. The villa’s kidney shaped swimming pool measures 10.5m x 5.25m is completely private and secluded. Also completely secluded is the courtyard with outside steps up to the large terrace which gets all day sunshine. The large kitchen with breakfast bar has a rustic dining table which seats 8 and has 2 comfortable settees. The sitting room including 3 sofas, one of which is a sofa bed, has access to the rear garden and to the courtyard. The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom, king size bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers and sliding doors to a small balcony. In addition there are 2 good sized twin bedrooms with fitted wardrobes. All 3 bedrooms have window fly/mosquito screens. There is a family bathroom adjacent to the twin bedrooms. There’s a downstairs WC. There’s private parking for several cars. It’s just a 5 minute drive to Cabaços with cafés, bakery, restaurant, mini-market, butcher, fishmonger, pharmacy, bank/cash point and other local stores. Monday is market day. There is a local representative on call to deal with any problems which may occur. Should you require something which doesn’t seem to be included, please let us know in advance and we will do our best to help (within reason of course!). The centre of Portugal has some of the country’s finest beaches, many of which are well known for surfing. Central Portugal has major monuments, wonderful scenery and ancient remains. The Romans described the centre of Portugal as the Garden of Eden as much of Central Portugal is covered with lush, green and beautiful mountain scenery. The blue flag beach Praia do Osso da Baleia with free parking is 1 hour’s drive. Casa de Sandoeira - Things to Do: Our self catering villa is situated near Alvaiázere in Central Portugal, close to unspoiled countryside with river beaches suitable for swimming and historic world heritage sites. It is 20 minutes from the beautiful city Tomar and within 30 minutes of Portugal’s stunning third largest city - the University city of Coimbra. Lisbon and Porto are just a train ride away or 1.5 hours by car. Horse riding, hiking, kayaking, river trips and spa days are all available locally. Sandoeira The locale around Sandoeira is unspoiled, natural and often stunning - surrounded by mountains, rivers, gorges, forests, picturesque villages and miles of sandy beaches. The nearest large town is Alvaiázere which has everything a small town should have: restaurants, pharmacy, doctors, a football team, shops and bars. It has a market once a week, where you can buy anything from furniture to rabbits or a pair of jeans! Tomar Tomar is dominated by the Convento de Cristo which sits high above the city and is crossed by the Nabão River. Its chequered history tells stories about its wealth, trading, religion and atrocities. The Convent is an incredible 'must do’ place to visit. River Beaches Portugal’s river beaches are gems of tranquility tucked into gorges, along rivers or created in picturesque towns and villages. The clear river waters in this part of Portugal are often warmer than the sea and with no hidden undercurrents, making river beaches perfect for beautiful summer days. Highly recommended is the Fragas de São Simão river beach. A twisty drive through the forest, takes you past a spectacular view point, down to where the River Alge has been dammed to help provide pools of varying depths. It is a beautiful natural setting, with dappled shade and swimming in the crystal clear water.) ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 1,938 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114660000/114659300/114659295/233b3294.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3-bedroom peaceful house with private swimming pool and whirlpool.

Very impressed with how well equipped the villa is with regards to everyday amenities. Really spacious with lots of different seating areas inside and out. Plenty to see and do in the area such as Tomar, Obidos and the wooden walkway at Sao Samao made easier by easy access to the motorway. Villa was very clean. Pool is a good size and a real suntrap but would have appreciated a midweek pool clean and more information on immediate villa outlook and surroundings.

L'intérieur de la maison est très bien isolé et spacieuse, donc même avec 37° à l'extérieur, il faisait bon à l'intérieur de la villa, de plus il y a la piscine privée qui fait super plaisir. De plus, l'hôte de la villa, John, que nous remercions pour sa confiance a été joignable à distance à tout moment via whatsapp. Il faut absolument la voiture, c'est à 1h30 de Lisbonne et Porto, puis il y a pas mal de villes à visiter aux alentours (Coimbra, Tomar, Ferreira do Zezere, Nazaré à 1h de route). ##### Rayan Y.

Det var stort, velindrettet og havde meget brugbart udstyr i køkkenet. De unge teenagere var glade for at have deres egen afdeling med soverum og bad. Poolen var stor og blev brugt hver dag - dejligt med ekstra badedyr i huset. Meget flot udsigt fra huset og roligt på nær en del gøende hunde om aftenen/natten. Området er en blanding af meget gamle huse/ruiner og flotte, nye huse. Bil er en nødvendig for at handle og se området. Der er en skøn flod 15 minutters kørsel derfra, som var fantastisk at bade i og lave vandsport, så vi savnede ikke havet. Hvis man kan lide naturen er dette et fint område til vandreture og fantastiske udsigter. ##### Henriette P.

As áreas exteriores estão bem cuidadas e a piscina estava espetacular à chegada. Como a casa estava fechada há bastante tempo antes do nosso checkin considerámos que a limpeza feita não foi suficiente, quer dentro de casa quer no pátio que optámos por não usar a não ser para fazer grelhados. Após a nossa comunicação de que a limpeza tinha sido insuficiente o John tratou de resolver a situação e os espaços mais usados ficaram efetivamente limpos para que pudessesmos usufruir do resto da nossa estadia. No fim apenas temos a recordar uma boa semana de férias em que a piscina brilhou. ##### Ana A. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nelly L. 7 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Séjour très agréable Mon mari, mes deux enfants et moi-même y avons séjourné plusieurs semaines au mois d'aout cette année. La maison a été conforme à nos attentes et à l'annonce. Rien à dire sur la propreté et l'état de la maison, c'était parfait à ces niveaux là. Le propriétaire a été disponible et très réactif quant nos interrogations avant et pendant le séjour. La situation de la maison est très bien pour les visites (Lisbonne, Porto, Coimbra, Tomar, Aveiro, Peniche, Nazaré, Obidos etc). Une de mes visites favorites a été Coimbra et son université. Penser à aller acheter vos billets de visite de l'université rapidement car ils vous proposent des créneaux horaires. La piscine de la maison est plus qu'agréable, un vrai plus pendant ces vacances. Il y a tout ce qu'il faut dans cette maison et beaucoup de place pour que chacun des habitants y soit à l'aise. Encore merci à vous John. ##### Nelly L.

On trouve tout ce dont on a besoin à Alvaiázere situé à environ 7 kms et les activités aux alentours ne manquent pas : plages aménagées sur le bord de la rivière, grottes, randonnées. .. et c’est sans compter sur la gentillesse et la précision des renseignements donnés par les propriétaires (tout ce qui est mis dans l’annonce correspond à ce que vous trouverez sur place) C’est un point de chute idéal pour découvrir un autre Portugal tout en laissant la possibilité de passer une journée sur Lisbonne et/ou Porto (1h50 de route) ou encore à NAzare et découvrir les environs d’Alvaiazere. Nous recommandons vivement cette location !!! ##### Caroline V. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laëtitia G. 7 Sept 2018 #### Superbe maison pour des vacances au calme !

Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda H. 16 Aug 2018 #### This villa is absolutely fantastic! It is spacious, comfortable and has everything you could need! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this villa. It is very spacious, comfortable and extremely well equipped. There are various seating areas outside so that you can enjoy the sunshine at all times of the day, plenty of tables and chairs for inside and out, plus there is the beautiful pool! It has everything! The location of the villa is great to be able to get out and explore some amazing surroundings. We did lots of 'wild swimming' in the most stunning locations, kayaking, walking and it is not too far from the coast.
