Villa

A short distance from hiking trails, horse riding, and more, this pet-friendly villa lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 23-minute drive to Medieval Town of Ourem, Portugal or the 14-minute drive to Pombal Castle (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 1830-sq-ft villa, you can unwind by the heated pool or sip a drink in the hot tub; you may also like the garden and deck or patio. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, cable/satellite TV, stereo, and DVD player.

As you settle into this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room, a dining area, a BBQ grill, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, bathrobes, and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And there's access to laundry facilities, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
