Delightful Stay
Beautiful, old, country farm that has been renovated and converted into a few private casitas that are fully appointed with anything one could need. The hosts could not be any more welcoming and gracious.

Lovely location and hosts
We spent perfect days here. The room was fabulous and the views were so beautiful. My husband and I both feel like we got to experience the real Portugal here vs. the bigger cities of Lisbon and Porto. The hosts, Sam and Rich were so hospitable and made us feel very welcome with treats delivered to our door almost every day 😊 We hope to return someday. Sam and Rich, come visit us in Seattle !

Surpassed expectations
Whilst the listing is accurate it still underplays what a wonderful property this is, with a level of luxury, quality of hospitality and attention to detail usually found in boutique hotels. Sam and Rich have created here an oasis of tranquility that, even when the wind is gusting down the valley, pervades the place inside and out. Our property - Atlantic - had everything you could wish for by way of mod cons, and the 'welcome basket' far exceeded what most places would offer. On our way to the property we called in at a supermarket to pick up a few things we thought they wouldn't include, such as breakfast cereals, fruit juice, treats, only to find all these and more when we arrived! Everything exuded quality, from the furnishings to the toilet paper. Rich and Sam were also attentive to our needs during our stay. Though we largely tend to be quite self sufficient, they still provided some useful tips we never would have found in guidebooks, such as the brunch in the park in Caldas da Rainha, only on weekends, which we loved. Sam's culinary skills, the product of which she shared from time to time, also put some local restaurants to shame. And the fresh bread and pastries she delivered to our door on a couple of days was a welcome bonus. The location of the property was great - only half an hour from the beach, 10 minutes to Obidos, an hour from Lisbon (we went by bus, but it's the same to drive if you want), and the 'Disneyesque' Sintra a similar drive. There's walking trails straight from the door, and if you want steeper hills, head to Montejunto 30-40 minutes to the south. All in all a perfect place for our stay in this part of Portugal. Many thanks to Rich and Sam for their hospitality and generosity. Would strongly recommend.

Faultless accommodation, with superb hosts in a beautiful rural setting
Our expectations were exceeded! We arrived to warm greetings, a fridge full of food and a roast chicken! The accommodation was superb with great attention to detail. From the lounge and the terrace we enjoyed wonderful panoramic views across the surrounding countryside. We stayed a week and found plenty to do including trips to Obidos, Buddha Eden, the coast and mountains and windmills inland - as well as walking in the extensive grounds of QBV. All in all, the best self-catering accommodation that we have ever stayed in!

FABULOUS
We had a wonderful stay. The cottage was pristine, the views lovely, and the owners warm and very kind. When we arrived, we found a fully stocked refrigerator. There was no need to leave, except that there were things to see and do. The ocean was close by, Obidos around the corner and historic monasteries and convents to wander. My husband and I stay at many vacation homes as we travel and we both agreed this was the best. I highly recommend.

We are obviously delighted to receive such a fabulous review, but more importantly that you enjoyed your stay at Quinta do Bom Vento so much. It is particularly humbling for us to receive these comments when we note what well seasoned travellers you are. We really appreciate your review and hope we can lure you back to The Atlantic in the future - THANK YOU.

Great stay near Obidos!
We could not have asked for a nicer stay. Sam and Rich are warm and welcoming hosts. They've renovated an old farmhouse and outbuildings with loving care and attention to detail. Our apartment was comfortable, spacious and well equipped. The view was wonderful. The bed was super comfortable. We felt completely at home. The property is 5-10 minutes from the Obidos parking lot and is set in a lovely agricultural valley with vineyards as well as pear and apple orchards. Great location for day trips to the nearby coast, north to Tomar, Fatima, Batalha, Alcobaca to the north and Sintra to the south. There are nearby restaurants. The kitchen is very well equipped and there is a nearby grocery for provisions. We told Sam and Rich that they would need a crowbar to get us to leave. It nearly came to that! Would recommend highly to friends and family.

And we could not ask for nicer guests! Loved the crowbar comment - that really made us giggle. We are so pleased we met you but that was a long journey for such a short stay, we really hope you return for longer next time ok!

Beautiful stay between the vineyards and fruit trees
We stayed four nights at Quinta do Bom Vento and it was MARVELOUS. The hosts are excellent, they take care of everything, including all gastronomic possibilities. At our arrival in the evening, we could enjoy grilled chicken with a nice bottle of wine. Breakfast was also taken care of, the fridge was full of delicious things and every two days there was fresh bread and Portuguese sweet delicacies. The accommodation is beautiful and offers a lot of comfort and privacy, we could easily start living there. It felt as being home in a natural environment with full of scenic beauty. From there we could visit a lot, from historic little towns and monasteries to beaches and green hills. Walks are also possible in the near surroundings. We definitely would love to come back!

Génial !
Nous avons été admirablement accueillis par Sam et Rich, des hôtes extraordinaires, plein d’attentions à l’égard de leurs locataires. Dés notre arrivée dans cette jolie résidence très agréable,bien entretenue et paisible, Sam et Rich nous attendaient avec des petits de mot bienvenue. Dans la maison mise à notre à disposition, tout était intégré pour nous permettre de passer un agréable séjour y compris de nombreux ingrédients pour nos repas (fruits et légumes du jardin, céréales, café, thé, vins de la région...). Au cours de notre séjour nos hôtes nous ont également gâtés avec quelques délicieuses pâtisseries et d’excellents pains. Ils ont été de bons conseils pour nos visites. Merci infiniment à Sam et Rich pour leur générosité et leur gentillesse.

Merci beaucoup pour votre charmante critique Sylvie et vous avez également été des invités formidables! Nous avons adoré le fait que vous soyez si organisé et que vous ayez réellement embrassé tous les sites historiques et les plages de la Côte d'argent. Et merci beaucoup d'avoir laissé le quintinha de l'Atlantique si propre et bien rangé. C'était si impeccable que nous nous sentions presque rêver que vous y étiez. Nous rêvons cependant que vous reveniez :)
