This is a very unique home that is full of artworks/relics with absolutely beautiful outdoor space(s). We felt like we were in the home of the most noble of the court inside the walled city, close to the palace--it felt medieval, yet with many of the modern conveniences. The size of the property is huge and easily accommodated our extended family. The home is situated within the stone wall of the walled city so we were grateful to open all of the doors/windows for a lovely cross breeze. The view and the experience was amazing and felt authentic and unique. (note: 2 of our party had stayed in the pousada (castle accommodation) before and this experience was far more unique. The host was very responsive and, although we never met, very attentive and kind.
Finding simple groceries to have on hand is difficult within the walled city so plan ahead.

The Stone House is incomparable. If you ever find yourself in Obidos I would highly recommend. It is a MUST stay. The outside spaces are fabulous. The back garden is heaven. Beds are comfortable, shower/bath with great pressure and long supply of hot water. Kitchen is well appointed with everything you need if you choose to cook. The living room and dining area are spectacular.

This house is quirky, charming, and elegant. The uniqueness of its layout, decor and the beauty of its garden seem to be able to cast a spell on whoever walks into the door. It embodies Obidos.
Sunrise in the garden and view of the wall tower from the tiny terrace atop the kitchen are not to be missed. There are 2.5 baths in the house; the additional toilet near the kitchen is very handy. Kitchen is well-equipped. Bedding is comfortable. Host is very responsive to all of our inquiries. We are particularly fond of the sketchbook in which guests are invited to draw their impression of their visit.
It is not the easiest house to live in. For people with mobility issues, beware that there are plenty of stairs inside the house. Since there is no parking, we needed to park at the main parking lot outside the main city gate (south) and haul all luggage across the old town. Although there is another gate and a pedestrian opening in the northern city wall closer to the house, unfortunately the gate was closed and the pedestrian opening leads to a unpaved trail in the woods, making transporting luggage not feasible. But we did manage at the end, and the house was absolutely worth the effort. I will definitely make the effort again and stay in this house once more when I return to Obidos next time.

Everything, the house, the art, the history of the place, the tranquility. Amazing view of the village from the garden. I would definitely recommend 👌
The only downside was that the wi-fi wasn't working... I have the same router at home and the red light indicates that it has to be recharged (no funds). I had to use my mobile data in roaming... which was a downer.

This was a one of a kind stay…right in the walls of the old city…very unique house.
Not a good way to get luggage in to the house. we ended up condensing into bags and leaving luggage in car. which meant if you forgot something it was a long haul. Also house smelled very musty, it’s built right into the stone, but once there we were able to open windows and air it out. It was warm and no A/C so a few fans would have been nice.

the property was lovely but sadly our car got broken in and all our luggage was stolen . Because you had to walk a bit to the house we just took the necessary overnight stuff and left our suitcases in the car. everything got stolen . Apparently that happens a lot in Obedos, really wished someone warned us .

LOVED THE HISTORY OF THIS PLACE! Loved being right in the heart of the city walls. LOVED the furnishings. We will remember this stay forever! Loved access the the washer and dryer. One member of our party left their phone in the residence and had to go back after checkout. the staff went OUT OF THEIR WAY to help us retrieve it. Thank you SO MUCH!
The smell of history. We realize why it has that musty smell and we accepted that as part of the experience. Would still book again! Parking was a bit of a challenge but that too is to be expected!

An amazing apartment. Unfortunately we only stayed one night as was transitioning through. Would be great place to host a large family stay for a couple days.
Hot water in shower ran low.

This was a great adventure. What a step back in time, but so nice. Location is great within the walls of the castle and everything in the house was great. The fireplace, portable heaters, 2 terrasses, well equiped kitchen, 3 bedrooms (we took the largest one). Go there, don't hesitate, and experience the atmosphere. Enjoy!

The house is absolutely amazing and we had an excellent time! Location couldn't be better and the place had a very cinematographic atmosphere. Plus everything was clean, tidy and quite functional. José was a great host and Regina was super kind to show us around the house!
We had to wait a bit to get the keys, but nothing much. Also, we used the fireplace and the extraction system was not working perfectly - we ended up with some smoke around two of the bedrooms.

The location is fantastic, part of the city walls, built into rock, the house is like a maze, beautifully higgldy piggldy with garden or terrace at the end of every passage. Full of interesting things, but the most amazing part is the garden, a lovely peaceful space and as it is near the top of the village, an amazing view. The kitchen is not modern at all, but then it is a historic house.
Kitchen facilities, but it's an old house. Everything you need is there, thank you for the wine!
10.0
Great house, very peculiar in a positive way, for instance with the rock walls, being right next to the city walls, feels like it is part of the castle. Very beautiful garden and terrace, definitely advise this place and will be back. Right next to the castle inside the city walls of Óbidos.
