Five handpicked villas around one of Portugal's most sheltered and beautiful bays. Private pools, honest reviews, no noise.
São Martinho do Porto sits on a near-circular bay — one of the calmest and most sheltered stretches of water on the Atlantic coast. The sea here is noticeably warmer than the open ocean, the beaches are wide and manageable, and the town itself hasn't been overrun. These five villas are the ones worth your attention.
The standout of this selection — a 9.8 from 49 guests puts it firmly in the top 10% of the entire area. Contemporary design, heated pool that extends the season into October, and 1.1km from São Martinho do Porto Beach. Family-friendly location on the waterfront with Foz do Arelho and Lagoa de Óbidos within easy reach. The most consistent performer on this page.
A distinctive property — three storeys, sea views, and access to a shared tennis court, all within 800 metres of São Martinho do Porto Beach. The Lighthouse name is apt: this is a landmark property in a prime location. Worth considering for groups who want space, character, and proximity to the bay without being on top of the crowds.
A new listing without reviews yet — which means it's either freshly launched or the hosts are new to VRBO. The location in a quiet village near Évora de Alcobaça offers genuine rural calm with the Silver Coast beaches within reasonable driving distance. Three bedrooms and countryside views make it a good option for families wanting peace over proximity. VRBO's VrboCare guarantee applies.
Alfeizerão sits precisely between Nazaré and São Martinho — giving easy access to both without being committed to either. The heated pool and firepit combination is well-suited to shoulder season visits when the Silver Coast is at its most atmospheric. Cable TV, games and a stereo suggest a property designed for groups who want evenings in as well as days out. No reviews yet — VRBO guarantee applies.
The heated pool and Jacuzzi combination puts Villa Mila in a different category from most properties on this coast. Mountain views rather than sea views — a trade-off that suits those who want drama and privacy over beach proximity. Salir de Matos is inland, quiet, and genuinely peaceful. The kind of place where the Jacuzzi gets used every evening regardless of the season.
