Vineyard Views!

6 Nights in a comfortable/large home with spectacular views of the local vineyards. We had a great time exploring the local towns and restaurants as well as day trips to Lisbon, Obidos, Nazare & Fatima. Thanks to our hosts for a wonderful time!

Paradise at Casa Bianca

We stayed at this beautiful villa for a week we were a party of ten including 4 small children it was spotlesly clean and and had everything we could wish for. the beach at Foz is about half an hour away and is perfect for children the parking there is free but there are no sunbeds or umberellas, so we took the folding chairs from the villa and a picnic coming back after lunch to swim in the pool. We ate out every night as we found the food very good and suprisingly cheap! Great place to go to avoid all things English and see the real Portugal

Luxury Villa Silver Coast

My thanks to Brendon and staff for the fantastic facilities. Family of 7 set off from the UK to get some late autumn sunshine. This was an opportunity to take my elderly parents along as well as they had never visited Portugal before - not even the Algarve! The villa was clean and welcoming and contained just about everything you could ever want on a holiday and more. We love the games room and the great views from the large balcony. It was so lovely sitting up there and watching the work going on in the vineyards around harvest in the valley below. A dos Francos proved to be very well connected to the A15 / A 8 motorways that could either take you further inland or down to the sea side. It took us just 15 odd minutes to get to Peniche. Thanks for all the tips about places to go visit. We particularly enjoyed the short drive up to Munto Junto and Alenquer and so many other little places that you would not normally find in any of the brochures. We really hope to come back again with the children and perhaps spend a fortnight here either in June or July,if possible.

Great time in Portugal

The house was perfect for our group with large rooms and superb decor, all the mod cons, very nice village location in proximity to all the main attractions. We visited beautiful Tomar, the Templar fort about an hour's drive from the villa and though we wanted to also go to Fatima, were unable to do so that day. Obidos was a great surprise - one read so much about it prior to the visit, but we were still amazed to see how well preserved it really is. Highly recommended to all. The villa is located within walking distance of two cafes, one of which serves snacks as well. Two proper restaurants are within 2 miles so plenty of choice. The nearby village has some shops, a bank, pharmacy and 2 mini markets. The one nearer the house bakes its own fresh bread each day - delicious. Lovely walks as well - the caretaker pointed us in the direction of Serra da Munto Junto, which for us was real fun as the weather was kind that day. The pool table in the large games room was very useful on the two wet days we had. Highly recommended for larger groups of friends, families etc. Very spacious and comfortable.

Maison tout confort au milieu des vignes, pins et eucalyptus.

Un endroit paisible avec une vue splendide. Une grande maison où chacun peut « vivre sa vie ». Rien n’y manque. Un emplacement recommandé pour être un point de départ des attraits touristiques indispensables à voir dans la région. (Un petit bémol : la longueur des consignes (qui plus est en anglais) est un petit peu angoissante).

Très bonnes vacances!

La villa était spacieuse, calme et très bien équipée. On a eu un problème avec la machine à laver et la concierge nous a dépannés dans la journée ! Situé entre Santarém et Foz de arelho, on a pu se promener au gré du vent! Voilà une location (et son propriétaire) qui ne se moque pas du client !

Harvest time

Enjoyed much about the villa - Large property with quality fittings and furniture. Verandah was a delight especially mornings and night. Enjoyed watching the apple harvest being brought in - felt very much in the countryside. Disappointed with some aspects of customer service such as lack of beds made up, no dishwasher tablets or toilet roll supplied. Silly little things that tainted our experience. We didn't realise how busy to road at the bottom of the garden would be.

Nice house facilities need update pool tiny pesky flies

We stayed here for two weeks. It is a lovely well built house spacious and well furnished. The oven, fridge and washing machine all need updating they are well past their sell-by dates. There was a problem with the electricity when it rained the outside lights caused the whole house to fuse. It was very difficult in the dark to resolve this the only solution was to alter the time clock on the lights so they came on in daylight. That all said we enjoyed watching the birds and the activity in the fields. The downstairs space was great for us and the acoustics there were brilliant as musicians we enjoyed that. We found the POOL a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT it was nothing more that a kids pool too small even to swim in. The photos in the adverts paint a different impression and we feel a bit deceived by this, the fountain never came on at all and we doubt it even works. We do not think the pool was cleaned while we were there despite assurances it would be. Brendan's welcome and pre reads were extremely comprehensive and in all honesty a bit too much for us. Simple details in a book in the house usually does the trick. I am sorry to say we will not be coming back, the dilapidated facilities, small pool and the flies, which may be because of the chicken coop (not mentioned) next door. It is a lovely house please update it.

A Gold Star in the Silver Coast

The owner was there to meet our friends and ourselves on arrival at this beautifully furnished and comfortable villa.Casa Bianca is the best equipped and maintained villa we have stayed at. We loved relaxing sitting out on the new balcony overlooking the picture perfect location. The owner arranged our return taxi transfer from Lisbon Airport with a very reliable and friendly driver, who also assisted with the collection of our hire car. My husband enjoyed walking around the glorious countryside around, whilst the rest of our party found ample areas to relax and "chill out " around the villa. We all enjoyed the friendly service, good wholesome cooking and reasonable priced meals found at the Restaurant on top of the hill at Santa Helena. We all felt at home in Casa Bianca and thoroughly enjoyed our break. I would highly recommend this villa to friends and family.

Perfekt ausgestattete Villa im Landesinneren

Die Villa liegt ruhig außerhalb der kleinen Ortschaft A-dos-Francos und ist umfangreich und mit allem Komfort eingerichtet (wie im Internet beschrieben, so haben wir es auch vorgefunden!). Pool mit Wasserfall, Balkon/Terasse, Gartenliegen, BBQ, Billard-und Spielezimmer - alles in einwandfreiem Zustand für einen entspannten Urlaub vorhanden. Sowohl die Kinder als auch die Erwachsenen fühlten sich mehr als wohl. Und tauchte mal eine Frage oder ein Problem auf, war Ben umgehend (viaEmail) mit Rat und Abhilfe zur Stelle. Das einzige, was verbessert werden könnte ist der etwas schwache WLAN Empfang in der oberen Etage. Aber es ja auch Vorteile, nicht immer online zu sein.. We really had a wonderful stay at Casa Bianca and can absolutely recommend this lovely place to everybody.

What a Pleasure

Casa Bianca is a wonder. It is clear that Brandon has poured all his energy and effort into making this a prize destination. We six travelers (three couples) only got to enjoy four days here, and that was much too short. The house is located on the outskirts of the village of A Dos Francos, and very well situated for day trips to the lovely town of Obidos, and even making a short bus ride in to Lisbon for the day. The appointments in the house are superb. Windows are well screened (a luxury not often found in our travels), and the presence of two washing machines was hugely appreciated. I kept meaning to put up a sign up sheet for use of the fitness room, but protracted glasses of good wine on the terrace or watching some of the hundreds of channels on the televisions somehow continually got in the way. Thank you Brandon for a wonderful stay. Perhaps we will get back to see you again some time.

Ein perfekter Urlaub

Die Casa Bianca ist mit allem ausgestattet, was immer man wünschen kann - und darüber hinaus. Dies gilt für die überkomplette Küchenausrüstung, ein reichhaltiges Angebot von Kissen, Decken und Handtüchern ebenso wie für die elektronische Unterhaltung mit diversen Fernsehern und DVD-Geräten sowie zahlreiche Spielmöglichkeiten im Haus. Die Sauberkeit ist beispielhaft. Die Villa liegt sehr ruhig etwa 10 km von Caldas da Rainha entfernt. Dort befinden sich mehrere Supermärkte, der tägliche Obst- und Gemüsemarkt und zaghlreiche ordentliche Restaurants. In der Umgebung finden sich einige der interessantesten Sehenswürdigkeiten Portugals wie Óbidos, Tomar, Batalha, Alcobaca und die Tropfsteinhöhlen bei Leiria. Auch Mafra und Sintra sind nicht weit, Lissabon mit dem Auto in einer Stunde zu erreichen. Wir haben den Hausbesitzer Brendon Williamson vor Ort kennengelernt. Von ihm stammen die besten Restaurant-Tips und er war stets für Nachfragen und Wünsche erreichbar. Dafür, lieber Brendon, auch an dieser Stelle noch einmal herzlichen Dank. Wir haben den Urlaub wirklich genossen und waren sicher nicht zum letzten Mal in Portugal.

Relaxing in the Sun

Stayed at Casa Bianca for 2 weeks in October 2011 and had a super relaxed time there with lots of sunbathing by the pool, reading and leisurely walks in the afternoons through some truly beautiful countryside. We were a group of 5 in need of some peace and quiet and that is what we had at this large and elegant property just 15 minutes from the beaches, but far from the noise and traffic in the resorts. The rooms were big by UK standards with a touch of real luxury and comfort. The house contained everything you could expect on holiday and much more. Imagine having two separate kitchens, two lounges, a games room and a gym as well. I especially appreciate the garden retreat to the rear end of the property snuggly located behind a huge hedge and bordered by an olive grove on the other. Perfect for good read or some quiet contemplation. Before you start thinking you are in the middle of nowhere, let me just say, that the little village of A dos Francos is a mere 300 metres from the front gates and that is where we did practically all our shopping during our stay. The Portuguese bread is excellent and we used to get our daily supplies delivered from the lady that owns the local minimarket just 300 metres away. In the village you will also find a bank, cash machine, post office, 3 cafes, 2 mini markets and a pharmacy. The villa is perfect for larger groups and most especially suitable for families with children. Big games room with pool table, video games, TV, DVDs and lots for the kids to do. Would love to re-visit someday. Thanks Brendon for everything.

Excellent villa and superb hospitality by the renter. For once the reality was more better than the pictures on internet. Location is peacefull and beautifull with surrounding wine and fruit plantages. Car is must to have because of the distance to the markets and bigger cities. Only improvement I can figure out is child gates fot the stairs if it is common for families like ours with little children renting the villa. Many thanks for luxury accommodation and excellent customer service!

Het is een geweldig huis; goed uitgerust, alles aanwezig om van een zorgeloze vakantie te kunnen genieten. De buitenkeuken was super en daar hebben we van genoten! Ook de aanwezigheid van wasmachine en droger maken het met 6 kids erg aangenaam..... Voor de kids een paleis met de ruimte met alle spellen (wii, playstation, biljart...) en om daar ook nog tussen te mogen slapen. Kortom; super!!

Our holiday at Casa Bianca

Casa Bianca is very well equipped luxury villa with all the goodies. View around is spectacular and nice small village A Dos Francos is something you only see outside tourist areas. Our stay there was very pleasant and relaxing, just what we needed. Brendon and his team was very friendly and co-operative. We stayed there fo 9 days, but lots of things were left unseen. Really recommended for those who seek piece and relaxing time in the countryside. The families Takkinen and Mäkinen from Finland

We enjoyed every minute there

We, a family from Germany with 3 adults an d 3 teenagers, stayed at Casa Bianca for 8 days in May/ June 2010. The Villa is tidy, clean, with a lot of space and a wonderful garden and pool. Casa Bianca is ideal for families with teenagers as we are. They loved it and so WE loves it too. Because of the great equipping, our stay was restful and pleasent. Not far away from the lovely Silver Coast ( 35 min) , the great countryside ( just open the door and you are there) and not at least Lissabon ( 45 min.) , Casa Bianca is the perfekt starting-point for any kind of trip. 8 days were much to short to see all what should have to be see. Maybe next time a little longer......
