São Martinho do Porto Beach Apartment

The second-floor apartment on Rua Dr. Rafael Gagliardini Graça puts guests within walking distance of São Martinho do Porto's sheltered bay — one of Portugal's rare near-circular beaches, calm enough for young children and paddleboards alike.

The unit runs as a self-contained flat: full kitchen with oven, dishwasher, and washing machine, plus a balcony with city view for morning coffee. A fireplace and hardwood floors make it workable outside summer months, and the fold-up bed means it adapts for families. Board games and children's books are stocked in the apartment.

São Martinho sits roughly 90km north of Lisbon off the A8, with Óbidos' walled medieval centre just 15 minutes inland by car. The property scores 9.3 across 142 reviews — high for an unstarred self-catering address.
