Peniche stay July 9-16 2022
This house is amazing! Wonderful for our family of 4. Had everything we could possibly need. Odette who met us is truly exceptional. Leaving us juice and fresh bread and cheese because it was too late to find something to eat. The owners were responsive and prompt with their communication and made things very simple.
Peniche served as a "home base" for us to take day trips to places such as Sintra, Porto, Obidios and the Balengeal Archipelago.
We were fortunate and grateful to have the cooler temperatures given that so much of Portugal was under a heat wave. We wished our week had a little more sun, but overcast skies provided cooler weather.
If you are considering this property, I might ask the owners if they know the "schedule" of festivals. Because the house is so centrally located we arrived to the first night of a festival that played loud music/DJ until at least midnight with flashing lights from the carnival rides. We asked Odette and one of the food vendors and they said it would remain there for the month. I gather the locals who live nearby weren't exactly pleased as well to have this all month. It was great for a couple of nights to have authentic Portuguese food from food vendors and plenty of dessert opportunities. But our week was not the calm and tranquil week we had expected in Peniche.
We are very happy to have visited this part of Portugal. Thank you!
