Hotels with Swim-up Rooms in Obidos

My villa is simply fantastic. Huge, a fabulous view, a fantastic living room overlooking the park. The pools were freezing so I did not use them. The gym NEEDS TO IMPROVE: it's too small and with limited exercise machines. The entrance doors are run down and I was told they will redo them in the near future. They need to be taken care of. A down point: there is NO supermarket inside the resort so you will have to drive 20 minutes to the nearest supermarket. So if you drive you may be ok, but if you don't drive remember to bring food otherwise every taxi trip will cost you between 16 and 20 Euros (anything more they are trying to rip you off).

Beautiful place, very well equipped villa, calm&relaxing, large territory of resort with areas for kids, football/basketball playgrounds, large swimming pool in common area. Very nice and helpful staff. Thanks to comfort, cleanliness, beauty of the villa and adjacent area we spent perfect time there.

Very spacious and modern place. Nice pools available, great kids playground. Very peaceful and tranquil. If anything, it was very windy when we were there, and also cool for the season, but otherwise, perfect stay.

Service, cleanliness, comfort, territory, pool

Wonderful nature, wellkept gardens, helpful reception staff, long swimming pool for swimming and a small gym with generous opening hours. The apartment had a well equipped kitchen for cooking meals and blending own smoothies. Very near located to the Obidos lagoon to go for a run or walk and kite surf lessons. As well, nearby Praia the Cortico with its stunning, long, sandy beach and Beach bar with excuisite cuisine and drinks.

Cool and rustic. Good breakfast included and the room was unique and large. We liked that the location was close to the town of Obidos but away from the crowds during the holidays. Wish we could have enjoyed the pool and outdoors more but it was winter. Still, very different and the staff were all very kind and friendly. Alfonso particularly went out of his way to help us out a lot.

Superb place to stay (If slightly remote). A unique hotel. We have stayed in hotels around the world, but nothing quite like this. The room or chalet was quirky and had everything you required. A very self sufficient hotel with approachable staff, good food and a very different outlook on how a hotel should be run.

Hotel moderno, com fumcionarios muito gentis e atenciosos, qurarto bem amplo, com banheira no meio do quarto, velas, cafeteiras. Um conceito diferente de hotel. Cafe da manha bom, nada espetacular, mas com muitas frutas e suco de laranja que fazemos na hora. Vale a visita a Obidos!

Staff was excellent. A very unique place for a quiet day or two, with Obidos 10 minutes away and beautiful beaches nearby. Dinner at the restaurant was fair, but the breakfast was excellent. I would definitely stay again!

Superbe ECO lodge Personnel tres attentionné Restaurant mettant en œuvre produits locaux Superbes cocktails réalisés par un passionné Nous avons emprunté des vélos pour une escapade à la mer À faire c super sympa +\- 30km

Fantastic spacious Villa Great for golf Very clean and quiet neighbourhood Beach was fantastic Would definitely come again Great host in Ana

A really interesting house full of character, and the pool and garden were just stunning. The hosts provided everything we needed for our stay and made us feel so welcome and comfortable.

It had everything you would need for a great family vacation, lots of space, excellent pool, great location and great owners. It is very rustic which may not be to everyone’s tastes but we loved the history and the traditional aspects especially being in a nice village with a great shop just around the corner which had fresh bread, cakes and great coffee every morning. The large espresso was just one €1. The location is great for some lovely beaches less than 20 mins away, many with free parking and quiet. The larger supermarkets are no more than ten mins away in Obidos which itself is lovely. We got great recommendations on places to visit and a lovely restaurant just outside Obidos from traditional Portuguese food. Would visit again.

Liked: Location- just outside entrance to old town, available parking (limited), good bed. Nice desk person. Pool table and tv room.

Everything. Even the TV had many English language options. The location is steps away from the bus stop and city gate so very convenient, even though it does not have the charm and romance of staying inside the town walls. The breakfast buffet is excellent in a country where a real breakfast is hard to find, and at a very reasonable price.

This is a small hotel, beautifully situated just outside the city walls. It even provides free parking, though there isn't much of it. The hotel has gone to great efforts to make its guests feel welcome and comfortable. The breakfast was very good; however, the hotel restaurant was closed on the day we were there.

We had a lovely stay! Fantastic location is right near the entrance. Excellent staff were always very helpful and knowledgeable and went out of their way to make sure we had a great stay. Breakfast was delicious, especially the cake!! Would definitely return if we are ever in Obidos😄

Fantastic location for exploring the old town, especially for those using bus transport to reach the town. We had a two-twin double with a nice patio out back. Room was clean, tidy, attractive comfortable, and 100% functional. Breakfast was short of phenomenal but very good.

The hotel is in an excellent location, right inside the castle wall. You could easily walk to stores and restaurants. If you want there are many entrances where you can climb the wall. The only con is that cars are not allowed to come to the hotel making it a bit difficult to unload your luggage especially in the rain. However everyone at the hotel goes above and beyond. They actually came to help with our luggage. Filipina and Sofia were just wonderful. Filipina helped us change rooms, even gave us a free lunch and reserved a taxi for us on our departure. Sofia helped us with the TV in the living room and kept us posted when there was an issue with the pipes. The rooms were comfortable and the breakfast as very good. This is our second time at this hotel and I would not think of going anywhere else.

Very spacious place — a two-bedroom apartment with a large kitchen and dining area. Super comfortable, especially if you’re traveling with a few pieces of luggage. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, providing detailed instructions on how to get close to the hotel to unload our suitcases, and even gave us a hand carrying them to the apartment. Take into consideration that the place has three separate toilets and three separate showers. Feels a bit like a dormitory 😄. But actually came very handy, when most of family members can spare some time. Staying a night inside the medieval walls was a truly unique experience — we absolutely loved it! The hotel also has its own brewery with 12 types of excellent draft beer, so you can enjoy a great night out just a few steps from your room. Highly recommended!

Great place to stay INSIDE the castle walls. Easy walk to everything worth seeing or doing plus food & drinks. Hotel staff was pleasant, professional & VERY helpful—made dinner resv for us at Nova Casa de Ramiro, a place that’s hard to get! They also found washcloths for us when asked (not normally in European baths). We stayed in the “Queen Isabel” suite—a nice treat up high & private. *ONE NOTE—plan ahead on your luggage. It’s a long tricky walk from the mandatory outside parking areas! But again, WELL WORTH IT!! Be sure to walk the all castle walls, try the sour cherry liquor with chocolate cups! THANKS TO STAFF❣️

Beautiful property inside the walls of the medieval section of the city. We were greeted for a very late check in by friendly Natalia who offered us the local cherry liqueur. She was very helpful and attentive. This property is charming and I would definitely be back if we visit this area again. All city attractions are within walking distance. Make sure to tour the city walls and the Main Street. Note that you cannot enter the old city with a car so parking is outside the walls and luggage is carried inside. This can be challenging with big suitcases but worth the effort.

I booked this stay last minute as I wanted to explore Obidos. I had to work during the day, so I needed to find a place with easy access to the town and with strong internet. It had that in spades. It was a really comfortable room, with an awesome view. The care of the front desk team to help me explore thoroughly- every time I entered or exited they made sure I was doing well and they checked in on if I liked the Chocolate Event that was happening nearby. If I return to Obidos, I'll absolutely be staying here again.

We stayed in the rooms adjacent to the hotel (courtyard?) and loved them. Spacious, clean, unique styling with the wooden roof, and with a terrace and nice city views. Obidos gets quite busy during the day, but things quiet down in the evening and early morning, and it was great having the town to ourselves then. Didn't eat supper at the Pousada, but the breakfast was great! We loved waking up to all the birds chirping and to the lovely town views from our window. Super relaxing place to stay! Also loved that they will pick you up and drive you back to your vehicle (you must park outside the walls). The stay is not cheap, but was a great splurge for us and we enjoyed staying at the castle. We also walked the walls in the morning with fewer people which I'd highly recommend. It is a cool experience, but not for the weak of heart! No railings anywhere, and some steep stairs, but if you are okay with heights, it was worth it for both the views and the experience.

Our stay at Pousada Castelo de Óbidos was truly memorable. The property offers a unique and enchanting experience, blending historical charm with modern comfort. Nestled within the walls of a beautifully preserved medieval castle, the atmosphere is both romantic and serene. The accommodations were clean, well-appointed, and thoughtfully designed to reflect the character of the castle while providing all the necessary amenities. The staff were exceptionally welcoming, attentive, and professional, making us feel valued from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was exceptional—beautifully presented, with a wide variety of delicious options. The servers were outstanding: warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable. The location is ideal for exploring the picturesque town of Óbidos, with its cobbled streets, charming shops, and rich cultural heritage just steps away. Staying in such a historic setting added a special dimension to our visit, and we would highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a unique and unforgettable experience in Portugal.

Beautiful clean lovely location wonderful staff excellent breakfast all stellar. Nadia is the first person you meet at the hotel. As a first impression, she is a great representative of the hotel. Your experience with her tella a wonderful story of what your stay will be like as she is A+ Her customer service is amazing. She is friendly personable and very helpful. We will definitely stay here when we return to Óbidos. One word of caution. The hotel is located I side the City Wall. It is very difficult to find as no vehicles are allowed in the city walls (except residents and first responders. You must park in a lot outside the City Wall and walk with your luggage to the hotel. It would be helpful if the hotel had notice on its website.

We loved our time at the castle, it was a unique and wonderful experience. We normally travel on a MUCH lower budget, but saved up specifically to stay in the tower room because we were so excited. Staying at the castle means you can access the private courtyard and interiors of the castle. The restaurant was also very good. Some of the reviews complained about the stairs, but this is a historic castle from centuries before elevators were invented so it comes with the territory. It would be a disservice to destroy the history and change the castle to add them. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They even carried our bags up the stairs to our rooms so we didn’t have to lug them up. Highly recommend this experience!

This is a legit castle that you can walk around and explore. The medieval city within the walls was amazing to see and explore. The food options, drinks, wines and shops were plentiful and all perfect. The people were so friendly and helpful. The city locals and tourists all combine in this area to chat over a glass of wine. The views of the city are breathtaking. I would highly highly recommend this property for a one of a kind stay in a real castle. Being a real castle, the rooms are not the most soundproof, but quiet enough. It’s your room neighbors that could keep you up. Parking is not the easiest as the streets are tight and crowded during peak times. Otherwise, this is a great place.

A spotless room and hotel which is in an excellent location - an easy walk into the town centre. The staff were brilliant- very friendly and helpful. Although I didn’t use it, the swimming pool was of a good size and obviously well maintained. The garden area was lovely - again well maintained. There was a good selection for breakfast including pastries, croissants, rolls, meats, cheeses, yogurt, cereals and much more.

Idesal location for my needs. There was ample breakfast an outside pool that unfortunately I was not able to use The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The hotel is situated in a quaint little town with cobbled streets.

Great location - 10 mins walk from the walls of the old town. Staff very friendly and helpful. Pool a bonus . Everything was very comfortable

Lovely traditional hotel Good pool and garden to relax and excellent staff

Hotel with simple but nice swimming pool. The hotel needs some updating. Bed was comfortable but the sleep sofa was lumpy. Staff was very nice and helpful. She advised me 2 restaurants that were perfect for dinner.

A lovely hotel with a very nice, good size pool and pool area. Good location. Lovely staff.

The pool area was lovely to enjoy and well maintained The room was nice and spacious The breakfast buffet was also great - we would highly recommend

Staff were nice. I liked the fact that you have access to an internal and an external pool.

The room was very nice. It was clean and very neatly kept. The terrace faced the pool and had an amazing view of Obidos Castle. The view at night was just as spectacular. The continental breakfast was amazing. The warm buns really added to the experience. Definitely would stay there again.

Great View of Castelo de Óbidos. Although you couldn't see it from my room, my room's window directly faced the pool and you could see the bar from it.

The view from the rooms by the pool and from the pool is incredible. Also the pool is salt water which is nice. I did not have to use goggles at all. The hotel is a short walk to the medieval feast.

This was an amazing stay during our time in Obidos! The hotel staff were completely helpful The area itself was amazing, the hotel was so cool and the pool was NECESSARY because it was so hot while we were there and we were able to wait out the peak tourist time by the pool with probably the best view of the castle, the restaurants nearby were amazing, everything was so great! If you take public transport it's right near the bus stop which was incredibly convenient. Our one "con" is we thought it was a bit silly the hotel staff was made to wear Medieval costumes.

Close to everything you want to see and do...staff was very helpful. Parking garage is great.... Room was clean and the double superior room was large and had 6 windows! Pool was great and clean... Only downside was we had to pay 5 euros for the pool towels.

If you are happy with 'quirky' then this will work fine. The room keys are like something out of a medieval jail!! Rooms are great, location perfect just outside the city walls of Obidos, so everything immediately accessible without being in with the hoards of tourists. Breakfast really good and plentiful. One gripe, advertises a pool. It was very hot in the afternoon, so a dip would have been great but although end of May, pool 'not open' until 1 June, so if important it may be worth checking when its available.

We had a great spacious room with a view of the pool but had to go outside to access the room. A little problem with the rain. Parking available but arriving early was not and it is very slippery infront of the hotel but we were able to park. Great place for a one day stay at Obidos during a driving tour of Portugal. No need to stay more than that.

Excellent location, right in the historic center, inside the town walls. Plenty of free parking (we were there in the low season) just outside the town walls. Staff always helpful, very good breakfast included.

The included breakfast is always well-rounded, and the rooms are well-kept. We love staying here because it's close to the castle and an excellent price point.

located on a main street inside city walls. they would keep your suitcases if you arrive early/depart late. Breakfast included. Bed was of a king size.

Fantastic location and charming room! Loved having a private washroom, and the staff were super friendly, even storing my luggage for the day.

Great location, helpful friendly staff on arrival and throughout my stay. Clean, safe and quiet, historical hotel.

Excellent location and wonderful buffet breakfast! We wished we could have stayed longer, but we were travelling all the way back to Cambrils on the east coast, so could only stay one night. Unfortunately, it was foggy & raining while we were there, so we were not able to enjoy the pool or the beach. Another time, we hope!

Very friendly and informative reception staff. Easy access to beach and pool and not very crowded. Nice spacious villa with stunning views. Good restaurants.

The location and facilities around the apartment, pool, gym, beach and golf courses.

First of all, the location is great - right next to the beach, a wonderful view from the terrace, you can not only watch the waves but also listen to their roar. The apartments themselves are very comfortable and equipped with everything you need for a longer stay. The kitchen is well equipped, there were all the necessary dishes and utensils. Clean, bright and spacious - we were very satisfied. We also need to praise the staff for their care and attention throughout the stay. Of course, small gifts also make us feel good. We are grateful for the tickets to the international chocolate festival in Obidos, because we would not have known and might not have gone there ourselves. Very good value for money...

Beautiful apartment very close to the ocean with a fish restaurant just around the corner and golf course view too. Need a car to see the beauty of the countryside and nearby historical sites. Apartment large and airy, very clean and modern.

I was worried about staying here after reading some reviews and realizing it was outside of the city walls, however my fears were unfounded. The hotel is a few feet from an entrance to the city and the fact that it was outside made parking and luggage drop off a breeze. We had friends staying inside and it was somewhat of a nightmare to drop them off. In fact I'm not entirely sure that we won't receive a fine in the near future for trying to drop them off. As for the hotel, we had two rooms and both were big and comfortable. I only took videos of the rooms and can't figure out how to post them here. The breakfast was generous and even had an option for freshly cooked eggs. We weren't able to do e at the hotel but the dinning room was very full of ambience and beautiful. The hotel has a lovely patio that we sneaked out to at night and I can imagine it would be lovely to sit out there with a glass of wine and unwind at the end of the day. I would highly recommend this hotel and Obidos and would stay here again if we are ever in the area again.

I thought this hotel was very charming. As a biblophile myself I loved the dining room decorated with books from floor to ceiling and also the rooms upstairs. The foyer was even nice, this hotel has real character and my room was great with it's own small suntrap courtyard. I thought the included breakfast was very good with many options and I did have a meal here on one night with live music, which I enjoyed, but I thought the food on the night let the hotel down somewhat I had the mushroom pie starter and the piglet belly with orange sauce for a main and while it was nice enough, I expected something special from the tempting sounding menu and overall quality of the hotel. That is not to say I wouldn't dine there again, as I would try out other items and if I was to visit Obidos again I will book this hotel. One of the main problems with this hotel is it is in such a lovely town, because if it was in a town with nothing to see it would be a pleasure to stay in the hotel itself for the day, especially if you were writing a book.

My Husband and i just arrived home from our holiday in Portugal, my husband surprised me with a special weekend out of our planned route to the most beautiful hotel and village i've seen. Óbidos was a fairytale, and the Literary Man was the cherry on top of the cake. I loved that feeling of being transported to an old library of the past, an old convent, ask in reception and they will tell you the history of the hotel... Nothing compares to the smell and comfort physical books give you. And they were everywhere - even in the guest rooms. My only regret is not staying long enough to read a few of the books they had on display while cuddled in the gorgeous sofas in the common spaces. I also loved the comfortable minimalism of our suite, which had two full bathrooms (quite an unexpected perk). The restaurant had a dreamy atmosphere, but the food is to die for, breafast is homemade and you can see that. The staff was amazingly friendly. I couldn't recommended enough, if you have a chance please plan a special getway to Óbidos and please to stay at The Literary Man you won't regret it.

To ME, this was the best hotel experience of my life. We had room 1 which may be described as an upgraded room I assume. I say this as in the element we were in which is a historical town. The hotel is just outside the fortress walls and has easy access to the inner portions of the walls with residences, shops and restaurants and with beauty everywhere. Getting back to the hotel, its room, restaurant and complete interior is amazing and a site to see. We look extremely forward to going back to this hotel in the future and will request the same room. I must point out there is a private terrace that is accessed through a window which was my favorite surprise. We also had perfect weather so this always adds to the experience. I wish we stayed there longer.

I stayed with my wife, daughter and son-in-law in two rooms at this surprising hotel in October, during the Folio literary festival. The hotel would have been a convent. The current decoration with thousands of books is unique and comfortable. The rooms and bathrooms are great. Cleanliness and friendliness of staff 5 stars. Very good location next to the walls, out of the crowd, but a 7-minute walking distance from the center. The restaurant is very worth it, with excellent cuisine. I ate a very delicious braised fish. One of the desserts won first prize in a recent sweets competition. The hotel is managed directly by the owner's daughter, which gives guests special attention and care. We will certainly return and even offer some books that we have at home for your collection 😆

THE POOL!!!!!! STUNNING! Felt like I was in a Wes Anderson film, honestly if I had the time I could have happily stayed for months by that pool. It was such a nice little oasis to escape the hustle and bustle of Obidos as well. I found the room to be no thrills but bed was comfy, everything was clean, the shower was warm and had good pressure. I liked that you could sleep with the windows open and hear the bells, the murmurs of the crowd below (it was refreshingly quiet after lisbon) The staff were wonderful, they saved me when i was struggling to call the insurance company to repair my broken down hire car. The check in thing is confusing but if you check your messages they do explain it quite clearly. Photos include the lovely view from my room, which was so private so i could leave the windows open with no concern.

We came to stay here to relax by the pool for a week! Obidos is a very busy tourist town but once in this property you had no idea this was the case! It was quiet and relaxing. We went for walks each morning out of the town and then relaxed by the pool in the afternoons and went out in the town in the evenings. The self catering facilities were adequate. Tea and coffee freely available in the kitchen.

Beautiful location within the Medieval walled city. The room was clean and nice. The pool area was stunning. I loved sitting outside by the pool for some good downtime.

We stayed for a week at Casa Liador as we wanted a place to stop and relax by a pool. Obidos is a busy medieval town with lots of day trippers and we wondered if we had made a mistake. The accommodation is tucked away up a side street and once there it was very quiet and relaxing. We spent our mornings going for walks outside of Obidos then relaxed by the pool for the afternoon and explored the town in the evening. The accommodation was perfect, clean and well maintained. The bonus for us was the facilities. A small kitchen with a good sized fridge so could make our breakfast and lunch. The staff were always helpful and kept the coffee well stocked!

Óbidos is a magnificent medieval city, and when you wake up in the morning in Casa Lidador, you open your window and you have the whole city in front of you, is a unique and amazing view. That view alone is worth the price of the room. The room was huge, super clean and filled with a pleasant perfume. The position is perfect, in the middle of the old town inside the city walls. Exiting Casa Lidador, if you walk 5 minutes to the right you reach one end of the city walls, and if you walk 5 minutes to the left you reach the other end. The welcoming is done inside another structure that is 5 minutes from Casa Lidador, and everyone has been extremely kind and available to answer all of our questions about the city. There is also a pool, but we didn't use it. There is a free parking lot behind the Pastelaria Arcus, which is a 10 minutes walk from Casa Lidador.

I was really satisfied with this small hotel. It was difficult to reach from the train station on foot as it is nearly at the castle gate but most of the readers will not be travelling that way. It is situated right on the main tourist street in the walled old city. The room was clean and charming with all the comforts incl. wi-fi internet service. The staff was unflaggingly courteous and spoke very good English, particularly the night clerk, who took quite a bit of time to answer my questions about Obidos and the surrounding area. Breakfast buffet was very good, too. I would recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a budget option and not afraid of a little walk.

I thoroughly enjoyed my two night stay at Rainha Santa Isabel Hotel or The Obidos History Hotel. It was right in the historic district yet very close to where you can catch the bus to other locations. The owners were exceptionally gracious, and I enjoyed the included breakfast very much. The view from my window was wonderful. When I look to the left, I could see the castle, and when I look to the right, I could see other historic buildings.

Impressed by the great location of the hotel (right in the middle of the old city) and they allow you to park inside the old city with a pass which is a plus. 4 beds room is ok (204) Main Street side with nice view! No tv (no need), internet. Only thing is that it has a bunk bed where the top bed doesn’t have a banister so felt insecure about risking falling down...

Driving into a medieval village with a large van is an experience in itself. We had to walk into the hotel and I had to find my way into the village to drop off the luggage....Believe me, NOT EASY!!!! I had taken a cruise´s excursion to the village and my friends had heard about it.......It is worth a visit! The hotel is aging, but cutesy......The staff were helpful and super friendly.

Located inside the walls of Obidos, where the streets are just wide enough for modern cars, Rainha Santa Isabel is magnificent! The hotel is clean and nice. Everything is close and within 5 minutes walking. Parking is 2 minutes from the hotel, in the town square. Only thing not 100% is the WiFi, that was working only in the lobby and not in the room. Other than that - everything was great!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Picva, located right beneath the walls of Obidos’ old city, directly across from a small gate leading into the historic town. The location couldn’t have been more convenient, and the private parking right by the house’s main entrance made things even easier. Joao, our host, was absolutely charming and welcoming. Upon arrival, he greeted us with two cups of homemade Ginjinha, the famous local cherry liqueur, which was a lovely personal touch. He then took the time to show us around the historical house and its beautiful garden, which has been in his wife’s family for six generations. As he explained the stories behind the pictures, furniture, and other historical items in the house, you could really feel how proud and emotional he is about preserving this legacy. He also thoughtfully provided us with a map of the town, highlighting recommended restaurants and must-see spots. Our room at Casa Picva was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a bed that ensured a good night’s sleep. Breakfast was served in the dining room, shared with another couple who was also staying in the house. While the breakfast was simple, it had everything we needed and felt just right for starting the day.

Truly special stay — not just clean and comfortable, but full of charm and history Like many reviews here, I can absolutely confirm that Casa da Picva is spotless, extremely comfortable, and in a fantastic location right by the walls of beautiful Óbidos. However, what really stood out to me — and what many reviews don’t mention — is just how fascinating and full of character the house is. Every room is filled with an incredible collection of antiques, paintings, and objects that reflect the rich history of Óbidos and Portugal/ Europe itself. It felt like staying in a living museum, with new details to discover each day — a rare treat compared to more generic places to stay. The breakfast also deserves a special mention. Not only was it delicious and beautifully presented, but the choices were homemade, healthy, and full of flavour — the jams are even made with fruit from the host’s own garden! Finally, the host was simply wonderful — welcoming, generous with his time, and clearly passionate about both the house and his guests’ experience. Casa da Picva is much more than just a place to stay — it’s a unique experience that adds an extra layer of richness to a visit to Óbidos. Highly recommended.

We (family of four, one 10-year old, one 12-year old) stayed one night at Casa Picva in April 2023. It was absolutely brilliant. The house is perfectly located just outside the city walls of the amazing town of Obidos allowing easy access into the town and all the sights. We were able to park right outside, and the owner, João provided us with very helpful directions to find the house quickly from the motorway. The house itself is a hidden gem, packed full of character and interesting artefacts from around Europe, many dating back hundreds (and even thousands!) of years. João introduced us to all of them, and it was fascinating listening to his historical knowledge. The rooms were cosy, functional and comfortable with good beds, bathrooms and lots of added amenities. We also purchased breakfast which was a fantastic buffet of local produce. Altogether staying with João and Ana at Casa Picva, and touring the incredible town of Obidos ended up being the highlight of our stay in Portugal. Thank you very much!

This was a perfect find for our last couple of days in Portugal! Our Hosts were wonderful and their home / guest house is exceptional! 18th century intrigue and wonder! Our garden view was spectacular - we sat out in the evening and drank port looking out over the view. Casa Picva is nestled right next to the old Castle wall of Obidos which one easily slips into through one of the side gates into this awesome medival town a few metres from their lovely home’s entrance. We loved our stay here very much and would definitely come again, and for a longer visit. The town gets throngs of tourists during the season and Casa Picva is a welcome haven, after spending a few hours exploring this incredible town, to rest in quiet historic and beautiful surroundings. Next time we come, we will definitely say yes to the home-cooked breafast eaten in their gorgeous dining room - their fresh, homemade Pastels de natas were the best we tasted!

Casa Picva was a wonderful surprise! The whole place is furnished with beautiful and unique items, which are a pleasure to use or look at. Even the front door is lovely, with an enormous antique lock and key. The bed was clean and comfortable and the bathroom spotless. The owners were very helpful and organised a taxi for us to go to a wedding. We had some interesting conversations with Joao about the history of Obidos and Portugal. The owners also gave us a lot of privacy, which we appreciated. The location was excellent and we were given instructions on how to drive up to the front door, where we were able to park for 4 days, and from Casa Picva, we could walk everywhere in the old town easily. When we left, we accidentally forgot to take my coat and scarf, and the owners kindly arranged for them to be brought to Lisbon, where we were staying, so we could collect them.

The apartment is totally beyond our expectation! It is spotless, cozy and tastefully decorated with the theme of ocean. Once in the apartment, you will feel the relaxing mood. Moreover, everything works good in the apartment. There is adequate supply of daily essentials and the kitchen is fully equipped. Actually, everything is more than what you need. Dora and Tiago are super nice and helpful. Upon check in, Tiago gave us a very detail and comprehensive ‘tutorial’ about everything we need to know about Obidos. They also designed the Mood guide which is extremely useful in planning our activities in Obidos. And their recommendation for restaurants is perfect! We want to thank Dora and Tiago again for their kind hospitality. The welcoming ginja and biscuits are impressive. They are so heart-warming that we are just like having a friend in Obidos. They are not just running a holiday apartment. They love travelling and so know pretty well what their guests need. We deeply feel their passion in helping us to have a wonderful experience not only in Obidos but also in Portugal. Last but not least, we strongly recommend Mood Lodging-Caldas & Ocean to anyone going to Obidos! Don’t miss it! It’s worth staying there for at least 3 days!

Fabulous apartment in a wonderful location. Free parking right outside the door and a short walk to the old town. Fabulous views from the little balcony over the castle and town walls. The apartment was spotlessly clean, very well equipped and very comfortable. Dora and Tiago, the owners, met us on arrival and were so welcoming, spending time to tell us about the town, what to see and where to eat. They also give you a weblink to a really useful site with lots of information which they have set up. Such a warm welcome was so nice. A little bottle of the local cherry liqueur and some biscuits were also left for us to try. The apartment was very quiet and we absolutely loved our stay there. I would highly recommend staying here or at one of the other Mood lodgings if you want a great location, great hospitality from wonderful hosts and a comfortable, tastefully decorated place to stay.

The property is a 5 minute walk from the main gate of the old city and provides free parking. There are a few restaurants outside the walls within a few minutes walk and a supermarket is a 5 min drive away. The apartment is well designed and tastefully furnished, it is very comfortable and clean. The kitchen is well stocked with all you need to cook, the water pressure in the bathroom is strong and the wifi is very good. The bed is very firm but if you like something a little softer the sofa bed is comfortable and the host is more than willing to provide extra bedding. The hosts are very easy to communicate with and met us at the property to show us around and offer recommendations. They gave us some really good cherry liquor, wine and some local biscuits which was a lovely touch. I highly recommend staying here - if it is available, snap it up!

The apartment was spacey, light, exceptionally clean, with all the facilities a traveler needs. The hosts Tiago and Dora were more than helpful in advising places of interest l.e. coffee shops, restaurants, places to see. They also helped to organise taxis for us travelling to other towns that saved us stress (as there is limited taxi facilities in the area). The property was so much comfy and well equipped that we even cooked and had dinner one day enjoying fantastic view through Patio window. The host was always available to answer any queries that we had. Many thanks, Tiago and Dora, for your hospitality making our stay a wonderful experience. We will definitely recommend your property to our family and friends when visiting Obidos area. With warmest regards, Martin and Galina

This was a beautiful apartment that felt modern, spacious, comfortable and extremely clean. The location was so convenient to be able to park right out front and in a few moments walk right into the center of town. We only stayed one night so didn’t get to take advantage of all the amenities it offered but were so glad we opted to stay here and be so close to the charming village, which was one of our favorites places in our travels throughout Portugal! The host was incredibly generous with his time and information about the location, where to eat, what to do and what Óbidos is all about. We truly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to anyone exploring this great country!

This hotel was perfection. The location absolutely cannot be beat. While the hotel itself is small, it is located on a main road, approximately three minutes walking from the town entrance. I received a text the day before check-in with instructions on opening both the front door and the door to my room. My room had a small terrace that opened out to a stunning view of the perimeter wall and the street below. The owners even left a bottle of sparkling wine in the fridge for me. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom beautifully decorated and with very nice artisanal toiletries for use. The only thing I disliked about my stay is that it was only for one night.

The room is fantastic! Spacious, bright, airy, and thoughtfully designed. Comfortable, large bed. The bathtub is wonderful. Lots of places to sit comfortably if you need to work. Wifi and air conditioning worked very well. Check in was super easy and smooth. The room was well appointed with water, glasses, and even the gift of a bottle of wine. Location could not be better - it's directly on the main walkway within the castle walls. Large window with the option to close shutters for privacy, quiet, darkness, or to open fully for fresh air and people watching. Customer service was friendly and prompt. Lots of nice touches. Amazing value for the price. I loved it!

Fantastic location inside the walls of this charming medevil city. It's just a short, easy walk from the free public parking lot. The immaculately clean room is beautifully decorated with updated sink, toilet, tub and outlets near the very comfy bed for easy phone charging. The AC kept us cool on the two hot days we were in Obidos . I'm so glad the other place The lonely Planet recommended was booked because this was, by far, a better location, and great value. The welcome bottle of wine left chilling in the fridge was a nice touch.

Great location within the walls of the castle. Very clean and smelled amazing when we walked in. Comfy bed and pillows. I would recommend leaving your larger luggage in your car and take an overnight bag with what you need for the day. The stairs are difficult to manage larger bags. Parking is outside the walls, but not far. We have found this method very helpful because many of the smaller stays do not have elevators. We will definitely come back!

Lovin Book is an amazing little suite in the heart of Obidus. The bed was extremely comfortable and the location is perfect for exploring the medieval town. Catarina was easy to work with and the check-in and check-out process was effortless. The keyless entry means one less thing to carry in your pockets. Having a bathtub was a joy after several nights in other places with only showers. This is a very comfortable and romantic place!

Mariana did an extrordinary job in keeping in touch with us as before and during the check in process. Well done, Carolina! While we were checking in we met Sergio, the property handyman, who was God sent. We had large suitcases and had no idea how we were going to get them to the property, he offered to help and went to the bus station to carry both suitcases through the coble stone streets and up the staircases to our room. He also helped us out during check out. A CARING, WONDERFUL PERSON that should be appreciated and rewarded by the property management. The property and the town was absolutely amazing, we felt traqnsported to medieval times. Well worth the trip!

Located near the entrance to the town of Obidos (inside the city walls), it's a perfect starting point to start exploring. We arrived before check-in time, so we left our bags at their partner location just outside the city walls. For 5 eur/person you can also get a self-service breakfast. The room and bathroom were small, but very clean and nicely decorated. When visiting Obidos, be sure to try the best ginjinha in Portugal - Ginjinha da Porta 7! (right by Porta da Vila)

A wonderful hotel in the heart of the old town, located right on the main street. While most tourists arrive by bus for just an hour in this medieval town, we had the privilege of staying here! It was a truly amazing experience! The hotel’s interior is beautifully designed, reflecting the spirit of the place with shutters, paintings, and various artifacts. The bathroom was very clean and breakfast was excellent. We look back on our stay with great warmth and fond memories!

Overwhelming sensation of a travel to the past. We loved all details of the place. The breakfast it's fantastic and Nuno a real darling that took care of all guests with such care and speaking every different language and served us not only breakfast to perfection as he was very thoughtful and available to every thing else needed. We went around every possible corner of the town and we can't express enough how amazing it is.

The B&B is kept in the time period of the town. It is kept very clean and the breakfast was very good for the price of 5 euros. It included bread, buns, croissants, cheese, meats, jam, honey, coffee, tea and cakes. The property is also right in the tourist zone, but far enough away to be quiet. Check in was easy.
