Portugal Silver Coast
Pero Moniz is set within a quiet location. There are three cafes and two minimarkets in the village all within walking distance from the guest house. We recommend that you have a car to visit the surrounding countryside and attractions. We are within easy access from the A8. From there you can travel southbound to Torres Vedras and beyond to Lisbon. Both places have numerous attractions and very good shopping facilities. A good way to get around Lisbon is to travel by tram, or on the modern metro system.
Travelling North on the A8 you can reach the medieval town of Obidos. The town is situated within the walls of a castle. Throughout the year they hold various festivals including; a Medieval festival, a chocolate festival and a Christmas festival amongst others.
Just beyond Obidos is the spa city of Caldas Da Rainha where it has the famous Queen's mineral hospital. It also has a good shopping centre and market. There is also a bullring which puts on shows throughout the year.
Local people are incredibly friendly and helpful, particularly if you can learn to use a few Portuguese words.
The climate is warm and sunny from late March to early November (temperatures peak around 37°C in August), with enough rain in the winter to keep the vegetation green throughout the year.
Only 40 minutes from the capital city of Lisbon and its International airport. An abundant number of beaches with silver sands are less than thirty minutes drive away. The Medieval town of Obidos is just twenty minutes journey time. The golf courses of Golden Eagle, Praia Del Rei, Bom Sucessso and Campo Real are all reached within 30 minutes by car.
If you are intending to come to Portugal to look for your "House in the Sun", we can introduce you to Estate Agents we have used in the past. We know them to be not only friendly, but also honest and really helpful. We have been living our dream here since July 2006, so we are able to pass on our experiences and advice to you, if you so wish.
