The magnificent Obidos Pousada is situated in a Castle in the old walls of Obidos, a fortified town in the west of Portugal, the traditional gift of the King to his Queen

Obidos was the traditional gift given by the King of Portugal to his wife. This tradition commenced in 1282 when Dom Dinis gave the town to his wife Dona Isabel.

In those days, the sea came up to the walls of the castle but by the 15th Century the sea retreated and the land was cultivated.

This slow process can still be seen by driving 6 kilometers to Foz de Arelho which is located between the remains of Obidos lagoon and the present Atlantic coast with its long, sandy beaches.

Obidos has retained its character over the centuries with its beautiful white houses with blue trim and flowered window boxes.
Walking through its narrow cobbled stone streets, visitors will have the opportunity to sample the local favourite liqueur called 'Ginja' a typical drink in the region.

The town is surrounded by 'centuries old' walls which can be 'interesting' to walk around. Please note that care is needed - an acquaintance of the writer needed the assistance of the fire brigade to get down again!

Within these old walls, is the castle which has been converted to make one of the country's finest hotels - and one of the first to become a Pousada.

The Obidos Pousada has 4 double bedrooms, 2 twin bedrooms, 2 suites with double bed and 1 presidential suite, all with private bathroom, air conditioning, Cable television, telephone, mini-bar, hair dryer, locker bathing gowns and telephone. The Suites are located in the tower of the mediaeval castle.

In 2012 The Pousada at Obidos inaugurated 8 new bedrooms in a restored wing by the castle, including 5 standard rooms and 3 superior rooms. Bedrooms have a classic decoration and are fully equipped. All bedrooms were named after Kings and Queens that have stayed in Obidos.

Facilities at the Pousada in Obidos include air conditioning, restaurant, bar, free wireless internet access in the public areas and terrace.

The Pousada's restaurant offers regional and international dishes. In the fishing town of Peniche, approximately 27 kms away, there are also excellent fish and seafood restaurants.
The Pousada in Obidos has many steps which make it unsuitable for those with walking difficulties.

Casa das Senhoras Rainhas, also situated within the walls of Obidos, is an excellent alternative when the Pousada is full. This delightful Estalagem has a superb restaurant.

Visitors will enjoy walking in the old town with its village museum, local churches and old pillory.

A short distance outside the town is a very large church which was never used and is now falling into decay. In the buildings surrounding this church are a number of restaurants which serve very, good lunches.

Golfers will enjoy the nearby course at Praia D'el Rey Golf Club which provides excellent golf on a links course.

Obidos is 110 kilometers from Lisbon and has a Railway Station nearby on a line designed by Gustaf Eifel. 

The international airport at Lisbon (Lisboa) is approximately 83 kilometers from this Pousada of Portugal.

One of the most unique and fabulous hotels we have ever stayed in. It was very fun for us being from Dallas, Texas where everything is new and modern to stay in such an old historic castle. Further, we had dinner in your restaurant it was also world class. The staff were very helpful in providing directions to sights and travel out of the area. We would recommend your Pousada to anyone wanting an old-world experience in luxury.

Great, friendly reception on arrival, room and bed was great and located with in the walled town couldn't have been better. As to the restaurant it was well over priced but the service was excellent, breakfast was excellent with a great variety. As to the hotels facilities the only drawback was the noise of people walking on the wooden floor above our bed, other wise the hotel was better than we could have expected.

We stayed for one night in the Pousada at Obidos. Like many other guests we found getting there by car quite difficult. We also waited a very long time to be checked in and even longer to be checked out. It seemed that only one person was helping all guests with their luggage as well as performing several other tasks. Our rooms were very nice, clean and with pleasant views over the town. We ate in the restaurant and had a very lovely meal with very helpful service too. We know this is a castle, but like other peoples comments it would be helpful to let clients know before they book about the number of steps involved getting to all parts of the building. Also better sign posts to guide you there would be useful.

I traveled to Portugal for 9 days with my son, his girlfriend (who had never traveled outside of the US) and my twin sister. I have done extensive travel for many years and our week there registers on the very top of best trips ever! And within the week, Obidos is the STAR location. Magical! Breathtaking! Beyond expectation! We are all considering coming back to stay in Obidos the entire time of our visit. The staff, the food, the accommodations, the people we met in town - all unsurpassed. We were not there nearly long enough. I could not think of one thing I would have changed - it was perfection.
