Its generous 80m2 are distributed between a wide and light open space kitchen/dinner and living room, two bedrooms (sleeps 5 people) and 1 bathroom. The property has been brightly decorated with a touch of 'Mediterranean'. Despite its rural setting, the location is very convenient, with the nearest beach (Sao Martinho do Porto) only 7 minutes away by car, and Alfeizerao's International Equestrian Center (CEIA) within walking distance where you can find a great restaurant serving a three course meal (lunch) for 7.50 euros! The food is great and it's a 5 minutes walking distance from the property. The garden, shared with one other 2-bedroom unit (Quinta da Mota I) has a large lawn, well distributed shady and sunny areas, including a hammock under the palm trees, a sand pit for the little ones and a barbecue. The generously sized outdoor swimming pool (9mx4m) has salty water technology which takes less chlorine and is therefore easier on your skin. Because of the versatile configuration of Quinta da Mota's setting there is the possibility to rent both units for a bigger group / family of up to 14 guests, so if this is of interest please just send us a message and we can look at availability for the dates required. Overview of the area Sao Martinho Do Porto: Retaining its Portuguese charm and character, Sao Martinho do Porto, where the nearest beach is located, is a remarkably picturesque seaside town. The town is built around the sheltered bay that provides for safe bathing away from the strong Atlantic currents. The bay also benefits from warmer waters thanks to its sheltered location which are ideal for practising a variety of water sports available. There are life guards on the beach during the summer and the beach is cleaned most days showing off its beautiful iridescent silver sand which is where the area gets its name from. Surrounding the bay there are numerous cafés and restaurants where the majority of the food on offer is typical Portuguese (superb seafood), though there is also a very good Italian & also a Swiss restaurant along the front of the bay too (with English translation on their menus). We can recommend: Acasa – Excellent service & fresh fish you can choose. Carvalho – In Main St – Old Town centre. Level with the back of Hotel Atlantica. Very good value. O'Farol - located on the beach itself with the best views and good value. If relaxing on the green is what takes your fancy there are a number of excellent well established golf courses in the surrounding area, and more are planned. There is a small supermarket within a 5 minute walk (O Lavrador) stocking all the essentials, but for a larger shop we recommend Pingo Doce, a large supermarket 10 minutes away by car on the way to Caldas da Rainha, very well socked with fresh local produce, meat and fish, as well as covering all other shopping needs. Climate & vicinity Sao Martinho do Porto enjoys an idyllic climate that tends not to reach oppressive extremes of hot or cold. Daytime temperatures mid-summer tend to range between 26ºC and 34ºC. Mid-winter daytime temperatures typically range between 14ºC and 18ºC. Within the vicinity of Sao Martinho is the beautiful historic town of Obidos (approximately 10 min drive) which overlooks the Obidos lagoon (the largest lagoon in Europe). Similarly to Sao Martinho, the lagoon provides safe bathing away from the strong Atlantic currents. Sao Martinho's other neighbouring towns include Nazare and Peniche, typical Portuguese seaside towns which offer a good number of cafés, bars and excellent restaurants. Suggestions for exploratory days out: You must visit the beautiful medieval castle of Obidos with its quirky little streets, only 10 minutes by car, were you find a range of fine Portuguese restaurants and experience fine dining at its best. The exquisite Berlangas archipelago is also a must. It is a natural reservation with fantastic opportunities for bird watching and there is also an amazing beach between the cliffs. To get there you must catch the boat from Peniche that is 15 minutes' drive from the property. Peniche is also fantastic for its fresh fish market and surfing. The beaches of Peniche and Baleal are considered the best in Europe for surfing. And don't forget that beautiful Lisbon is 50 minutes' drive away. This is an amazing city waiting to be discovered: do include the characteristic Fado (traditional portuguese music) and regional cuisine in a typical Bairro Alto taverna, a visit to Sintra palace (amazing views over the city) and also some time in the Alfama area (Mosteiro dos Jeronimos), where most of the old architecture is centred. How to get here Lisbon Airport is recommended as it is an easy drive along the A8 taking between 40-50 minutes depending on traffic. Use Alfeizerao as your destination on your GPS, leave the A8 motorway at junction 20 and head north on the N8 for 4 Km. You'll find Quinta da Mota on a left turn off the N8, just before the building where CEIA (Centro Equestre Internacional de Alfeizerao) is located. Finally We hope you'll have an unforgettable holiday here on Portugal's silver coast. Please get in touch if you would like to receive more information, either about the property or to get suggestions for local information, places to visit and days out. We look forward to welcome you in Quinta da Mota and would love to hear about your experience, comments and recommendations. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Outdoor pool ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near the sea ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27460000/27452600/27452516/302617f9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Peaceful family retreat by the pool, only minutes away from the beach Alcobaca - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi 9.4 Exceptional 22 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-14&endDate=2025-12-15&selected=27452516&PinnedHotelID=27452516&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34590000/34587100/34587034/6bbccee8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa by the sea with private pool exelente view of the bay and marginal SAO MARTINHO do PORTO - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 41 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-14&endDate=2025-12-15&selected=34587034&PinnedHotelID=34587034&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/69000000/68460000/68457500/68457404/7d1d2c7a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Modern, air-conditioned family apartment with pool. 10 minute walk to beach Salir do Porto - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 9.2 Wonderful 20 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-14&endDate=2025-12-15&selected=68457404&PinnedHotelID=68457404&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, sun loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/59000000/58950000/58946800/58946773/cf324e12.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Deluxe villa for 6 with incredible view of the Óbidos Lagoon.

La maison est très propre et bien agencée. 1 balcon avec vue sur la belle piscine et un beau verger, 1 terrasse pour déjeuner. Très calme donc on dort super bien. il faut impérativement une voiture même si la civilisation est très proche, la route voisine n'est pas propice pour une petite marche ! idéalement situé pour visiter le centre du Portugal tout en profitant de la mer (on a préféré Roz de Arelho à Sao Martinho, plage plus abritée du vent) Même si les propriétaires ne sont pas présents pour nous accueillir, ils restent à l'écoute de vos éventuels besoins.

Wij hebben als gezin, - kind van 2 jaar- een heerlijke 10 dagen gehad in Quinta da Mota II. Alle informatie over het inchecken, omgeving etc netjes vooraf binnengekregen. Daarnaast hadden wij erg goed contact met de verhuurder Joao die zeer adequaat reageerde als wij een vraag hadden. Vanaf dit huisje heb je uitzicht op het zwembad en een appelgaard, erg mooi en lekker rustig. Supermarkt om de hoek en voor wat grote supermarkten zoals Lidl rij je binnen 7 minuten naar Caldas da Rainha. Stranden zijn rustig en schoon en er zijn een hoop leuke plaatjes om te bezoeken. Lissabon ligt op ongeveer 1 uur rijden via de tolweg. In deze stad kan je je nooit vervelen. Aanrader vonden wij het Lisbon Oceanarium. Al met al een leuke vakantie gehad! ##### Matthijs V.

Oct 20, 2018 #### Gemütliches Ferienhaus in Meeresnähe Das gepflegte Ferienhaus ist schön eingerichtet und stellt alle wichtigen Küchenutensilien sowie ausreichend Handtücher und sogar eine Nespressomaschine. Der Pool und die Liegestühle sind ebenfalls positiv hervorzuheben, ABER es ist wichtig zu wissen, dass der Pool für die nebeneinander liegenden Häuser I und II gedacht ist. Wir hatten das Glück, dass die Nachbarfinca unvermietet war. Im Grunde liegt das Haus in der Natur, umgeben von Feldern, doch sollte man wissen, dass die in ca. 200 m Luftlinie liegende Autobahn A8 ein durchgängiges (wenn auch unaufdringliches) Grundrauschen verursacht. Die Vermieter waren nicht vor Ort, aber sofort ansprechbar und bemüht bei einem WLAN-Problem. Die Lage des Hauses zwischen Lissabon und Coimbra und zudem in der Nähe vieler interessanter kleiner Städte ist ideal für natur- und kulturinteressierte Urlauber. ##### Michael B.

Aug 14, 2018 #### Quina Da Mota The villa was lovely, the pool photo is a little misleading as the pool is actually green, not blue. The instructions on how to get to the villa are a little misleading, we were advised to come off the A8 at junction 20,when in fact, if you come off the A8 at Junction 21 it is easier to find, perhaps a sign on the road just before the turn off would be good as it is not a named road, and just a dirt track that is easily missable. Also, it might be good to advise people staying in the villa that the pool is shared by both villas, as again, the photos are a little misleading, I thought the pool was for our sole use.Having said all that, the villa is clean, the location is quiet, and all amenities are there. There was some bottles of wine, bread and a bottle of water waiting for us, which was a lovely touch. ##### Diana B. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Dirk W. Jul 27, 2018 #### Wir hatten die 12 Tage sehr genossen und es fehlte an nichts! Das Haus war schön eingerichtet. Bei Problemen wie z. B WLAN half uns der Besitzer sehr schnell. Der schöne Pool muss mit Haus I geteilt werden, was manchmal etwas störte, aber ein täglicher Sprung im Pool war Pflicht und die Beleuchtung des Pools am Abend einfach wunderschön. Der Rasen wurde abends automatisch bewässert und war dadurch immer schön grün. Die vielen Fliegen waren etwas nervig. Insgesamt waren wir aber sehr zufrieden. Extrem nettes Personal. Wir hatten tolle 12 Tage in Portugal und kommen gerne wieder. Juli 2018 ##### Dirk W. Stayed 12 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane T.

Excellent house for long hot summer days, you can chill by the pool. Very nice view, from the balcony over the fruit plantation . The care taker is very friendly and help full. If you need anything or have further questions from the owner, you'll get instant feedback within the hour. Everything is very nearby with car, people are nice, good food,cheapan shops are very near as well. overall perfect for family holiday. Thank you, and we will come back !

Oct 26, 2017 #### Very cozy and private house, really good place for a family holiday with car. The house was as promised, everything matched the description, the pictures gave the right impression. We spent there a week with family (kids of age 10 and 15) and all of us enjoyed it very much indeed. Obviously it is a place where you need a car but this makes it also a very good stopover when you are travelling in Portugal with your own car. The house is well equipped, everything is topped up with welcome drinks. The "check in" is easy and handy, everything is intuitive. It can get a bit humid if you are there not exactly in the middle of the season but it is not a real problem. You can always make a fire in the fireplace if you feel like it. We could enjoy the pool even in mid October without any obstacles (nice lights in the garden and in the pool when it is dark). In addition to that you can barbecue outside, eat on the balcony etc. The kitchen is well equipped, if you are above average when it comes to skills in kitchen you might miss some quality knives though. Nespresso machine is your good friend in lazy mornings. If your kids or yourself need to wash clothes during your stay (or dry shoes which might become necessary...) then you have all you need in the separate room on the same level with the pool in your backyard. If you like to sleep with open windows you might hear some of the noise from the highway but it is not really disturbing. With windows closed you can't hear anything. In case you like cats there are few friends sneaking around (our son called them Henry and Lawrence). As for the surroundings there is lots to discover (do your homework, take a day for the monasteries, another for the coastline, Obidos, "crutas" etc.). The places we went to eat out were all good, feel free to choose according to your taste and mood. If you want to prepare something yourself you can find all you might need nearby (smaller shop few hundred meters from the house and bigger few kilometres away). And finally, it is not far away from Lisbon, Sintra and other typical Portuguese destinations. However you might find out after one week that you really had no time to go to far from the surroundings of the house. And, if you need to return your rental car to the airport in the early morning hours, it takes slightly more than an hour driving. We recommend this house and will return there very likely ourselves as well. ##### Lenno R.
