6 Bedroom Villa in Caldas da Rainha

This large single-storey villa, built by the British in 1989, has just been the subject of a major renovation: Boiler, ceilings, ceramic parquet, frame with integrated shutters, exterior and interior painting, interior carpentry, kitchen, barbecue , ... Rented for the first time in 2017, everything is new: furniture, mattresses, linens, dishes, electro, ... However, the bathrooms have remained "in their juice" and are "old fashion" up to the plastic curtains in the showers. The "Quinta da princesa Barbara" is located "rua da Fonte", the "rue de la Fontaine", fountain actually present a little further. This street is itself located in the hamlet of Cabeço da Vella, freguesia (section of municipality) of Serra do Bouro, municipality of Caldas da Rainha (the Queen's baths), in the heart of the "Costa de Prata", the "Silver Coast" or "Silver Coast".
It has all modern comforts but also satellite TV, WIFI internet connection, dishwasher, washing machine, electric dryer, fridge and a freezer, a temporarily gas stove and an electric oven, a microwave, a hairdryer, an iron, central heating by heat pump, etc.
Sheets, towels, tea towels, tablecloths, ... are provided. The bedding is new and the mattresses are particularly thick. The house is strictly non-smoking. There are a dozen steps to climb between the street and the house so, unfortunately, it is not accessible to people with disabilities.
A cleaning is included at the end of the stay and if you wish, a trusted person can clean the house once or several times a week.
There are 6 bedrooms. All rooms are equipped with two twin beds, a chest of drawers, two chairs, a luggage rack and a wardrobe. There are also two extra beds in one of the two large bedrooms.
There is a classic bathroom and three shower rooms.
There is also a kitchen-dining room with an extended family table for up to 12 people (but you would prefer to eat outside) and a very beautiful covered terrace (so in the shade) on the front, equipped with a huge table with two benches + the traditional barbecue.
Opposite the house is a large, unheated swimming pool with Portuguese mosaics. Eight deckchairs and six garden chairs complete the equipment.
Table football is placed on the terrace.
The property of approximately 1000 square meters, located in a rural environment, is completely private ensuring total privacy. There is not the slightest wind around the pool or in the garden which is a plus in Portugal in a region which may be quite windy. The "privacy" side is one of the key elements of this house. The garden is lush and well shaded.

Summary: This property was a stunning little villa in a smaller, rural town with access to many main towns and beaches within 15-30 minutes of driving distance. It was the perfect place for our group of 11 people, the pool was a refreshing way to end each day and relax as a family around the outdoor dining area each night. The bedrooms are very clean and comfortable and hosts a large group well. The host even left a handful of local items for us upon check-in which was extremely thoughtful. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for families or groups looking for a good home base outside of the busy cities, yet still accessible for day trips.

Summary: Our group of 13 had a wonderful stay. The children enjoyed the pool and there was enough space to spread out for some peace and quiet. The outdoor patio and grill were a particular highlight.

Summary: Every year, we come here with the family to relax. The house offers plenty of space for the whole family and is equipped with everything we need for cooking. The swimming pool is fantastic, as it is sunlit all day and never in the shade, making the water pleasantly warm in the afternoon and perfect for relaxing. The children love the pool. The sea and the Foz do Arelho promenade are just 8 minutes away from the house, allowing us to visit the beach multiple times a day and enjoy all its aspects.

Summary: We have just had a magical holiday at the Quinta da Princesa Barbara. The whole family was there to celebrate my parents’ 80th birthdays and it was perfect. The house is stunning and extremely well appointed. It has everything you could possibly need. We had so much fun in the pool and wonderful evenings on the outdoor terrace eating the amazing barbecues we cooked. I cannot recommend the Quinta enough. We absolutely loved it! Raymond and Maria were so helpful and the bedrooms were all so beautiful and comfortable. The location is brilliant - close to wonderful beaches at Foz and Sai Martinho. Thank you! It was a delight from start to finish!

Summary: What a great house. Plenty of space for all 10 of us. Safe for the children as there is now a pool fence. Plenty of crockery, etc in the kitchen and everything spotless. Only 10 minutes from the sea or supermarkets. The pool was great so we added a couple of inflatables. Lovely walks and views nearby. Lots of activities nearby. The garden was very pretty and everything was kept beautifully. A great place for all ages.

Summary: We had 8 adults and 3 children staying here and never felt like we were crowded. The outdoor amenities were wonderful and we spent a good deal of time on the patio and in the pool. We ate outside on the long dinner table every evening for a big communal meal and used the grill three times.

Summary: This year we are for the 2nd time guests in this great holiday home. We would like to thank Štěpán for making his house available to us. The property is located just 7 minutes from Foz do Arelho, and can be reached quickly and easily with children. If you need an alternative to the beach, you will find it in the pool. The pool is always on the sunny side and invites you to swim all day long... and is really a lot of fun. The house is superbly equipped... with comfortable mattresses and beds, the kitchen has everything you need to host friends and family. And here, too, no savings were made: the dishes, the glasses, the pots, everything is very beautiful and as good as new. In the living room we could end the cool evenings in the evening or sit relaxed on the terrace. Dear guests, treat "Quinta da Princesa Barabara" well as if it were your own. Because you rarely find such beautiful holiday homes and we want to come back soon... and hope to be guests of Štěpán for a long time to come.
