Vacation Rental Description
Casa Azul is located in a quiet street in the heart of the walled and cobbled old town of Peniche, within easy walking distance of fabulous beaches, coastline, marina, cafes and restaurants.
The three-bedroom house was traditionally built in the typical Portuguese style over 100 years ago, and has been recently modernized to offer spacious and comfortable accommodation. There is a generously sized courtyard, perfect for outside dining, while upstairs the rear bedroom has a secluded balcony overlooking the rooftops of this harbour town. The thick walls of this traditionally built house with its marble features and tiled floors means no air conditioning is required.
This holiday can be car-free as most Peniche attractions are walkable; Obidos and Lisbon are reachable by public transport. For breakfast, visitors can buy freshly baked bread and pastries from a range of bakeries close to the house, and after a day exploring the coast or on the beach, all the wonderful restaurants and cafes are a short walk away. Peniche is a gastronomes delight - with the restaurants serving up the delicious local wines and produce, including olives, cheeses and of course fish, the catch of the day from the harbour. Prices are well below those of the Algarve. A helpful guide to restaurants and other amenities, based on our 10 years experience of Peniche, is available on booking.
The rental price is all-inclusive with no hidden extras. Cleaning, linen and the services of our on-call manager are all part of your stay at Casa Azul. Transfers from Lisbon Airport can be arranged as part of the service. Reasonably-priced extras such as a welcome pack of food and drink, as well as flowers, are also available.
A stay at Casa Azul combines the best of both worlds: a stay in an authentically Portuguese harbour town, with the outstanding beaches and other visitor attractions and amenities close by.
