Villa Lourdes

The villa

Occupying an enviable plot near the perimeter of Praia Del Rey’s golf resort, Villa Lourdes overlooks the beach with views out to sea.

Sleeping eight people, the space afforded by Villa Lourdes and quality of accommodation ensures a luxurious stay here on the Silver Coast. Big enough for two families or a group of four couples to share, the tastefully decorated open-plan lounge and dining room area is perfect for family gatherings and socialising with friends. Relax, eat, chat and share quality time together.

The large and beautifully appointed kitchen leads out to your covered dining terrace. Designed for living outdoors, this shaded pool-side space is where you’ll take early morning coffee, leisurely breakfasts, family barbecues at lunchtime and relaxed dinners that stretch on beyond sunset. What a wonderful way to spend a holiday!

Step into the sunshine and let your feet take you to the turquoise blue, private pool. The surrounding terrace is complete with sun loungers, and there are corner steps to lower you into the refreshing water for a dip. Play with the kids and swim through the day - it’s all yours! The attractively tiled pool terrace is large enough to follow the sun as it moves across the sky. Shade-seekers can retreat to the covered terrace.

Back inside, two of your bedrooms are located on the ground floor. The twin room features patio doors with direct access outside and a beautifully tiled en-suite bathroom. The double bedroom is decorated in calming, earthy tones and is also en-suite. Upstairs, there are a further two double en-suite bedrooms, equally sumptuous with views out across the resort from your spacious, glass-fronted balcony. Gather here for pre-dinner drinks in celebration of your luxury family holiday or special time with friends.

Villa Lourdes is as wonderfully situated for an activity-packed holiday, as it is suited to lazing your way through the week by your lovely private pool. It’s only a five hundred metre walk to Praia Del Rey or the world-class golf course of the same name. Day trips include the surfing and fishing town of Peniche, Obidos’ castle and town walls and the pretty spa town of Caldas da Rainha.

Located along the Silver Coast, north of Lisbon, the popular and exclusive golf and beach resort at Praia Del Rey is where you’ll find Villa Lourdes. The eighteen-hole championship golf course is just five hundred metres from your door.

The pristine sands and white-tipped waves crashing in from the Atlantic Ocean are undoubtedly the namesake of the Silver Coast, especially in the shining Portuguese sun. Attracting surfers from all over the world, with competitions in neighbouring resorts, surfing schools are plentiful. This is your chance to learn how to catch a wave. The beaches of Nazare, Baleal and Santa Cruz are also worth visiting, even if it’s for the more sedate pass-times of sunbathing and sand-castle building!

If the Portuguese heat proves too much by afternoon, there is a choice of delightful, small-scale trips out within easy reach of Villa Lourdes. Caldas da Rainha lies fourteen kilometres inland. After discovering its thermal springs, Queen Leonora founded it as a spa town hundreds of years ago. Today, it is a lively market town, boasting pretty gardens, lakes and ample choice of cafes and restaurants for refreshment.

Peniche is also rich in history, dating back to King John III and continues to support a bustling fishing port. If you fancy a seafood lunch washed down with a glass of rose vinho, this is the place. Obidos, also inland, is small but perfectly formed. Walk the town walls, visit the castle and buy gifts and souvenirs along Rua Direita; Obidos’ charmingly traditional, main shopping street.

Back at your private villa, the resort itself offers a great choice of on-site entertainment. You can book a tennis court, hire bikes for the day or why not treat yourself to a massage at the spa? There’s even a communal swimming pool if the children fancy making new friends.
