The Costa de Prata/Silver Coast region

Stretching from Lisbon to Fiqueira da Foz, Portugal’s Costa de Prata (Silver Coast) is a gem of largely undiscovered beauty and gets its name from the effect of the sun on the waves of the Atlantic Ocean.

Unlike its more famous and populous cousin in the south of the country here you can discover pretty villages and a real Portuguese way-of-life amongst stunning coastal scenery fringed with the best beaches in Europe.

Because much of this area of Portugal remains undiscovered by the mass tourism market you can guarantee a beach to yourself even in the height of the season if you are prepared to drive and walk a little way.

Like most of Portugal the Silver Coast comprises mainly small towns and villages. You will find the Portuguese people to be exceptionally friendly and visits to the many non-touristy destinations, which abound the area are immensely rewarding.

The region is temperate. In the summer months it can get up to the late twenties or more in the day so make sure you come prepared with sun protection. The evenings in the summer are usually very mild but sometimes there can be a slighltly cool breeze so it's always worth packing a lightweight pullover.

In the Autumn, Winter and Spring the daytime temperature is often very mild and when sunny can get warm enough to sunbathe. The evenings do cool down and so warmer clothes for night are recommended.


=== Lisbon ===

Lisbon is one of the most immediately likeable capitals in Europe. Located on the westernmost front of Continental Europe, its mosaic of terracotta roofed buildings cling both majestically and humbly to its seven hills. The Tejo River sweeps past the many character-rich districts which border it, carrying boats big and small and is straddled by two impressive bridges. Some ultra modern skyscrapers rise starkly out of the generally more low rise and higgledy-piggledy layout of buildings, reminding us that Lisboa is indeed a modern city.

However, what makes it attractive is the fact that, despite being very much a multicultural 21st century metropolis, Lisbon retains a foot in the past and a remarkably provincial feel. Small markets still abound, frequented by traditionally dressed women bearing their load on their head, wood-interiored trams still rattle up unfeasibly steep slopes and people from all walks of life chatter in unpretentious local bars and cafes.

Praia D'el Rey Golf and Country Club area

To sit atop the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic is just one of the holiday attractions at Praia D'El Rey Golf & Beach Resort, one of Portugal's most exclusive and attractive resorts. The resort is tastefully built and dotted with a selection of attractive, low rise self-catering apartments, townhouses and villas.

Set in natural pine woodland, the 600 acre resort is surrounded by kilometres of pristine sandy beaches and dunes. Praia D'El Rey has gone to every length to ensure a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

For those who want to surf, windsurf or kitesurf, there is the thrill of the rolling Atlantic waves to keep you entertained.

The natural attractions of the Atlantic setting include great surfing and clear waters around the dramatic Berlengas Islands make this one of the best diving locations in Portugal.

Guestbook for Luxury Portuguese Apartment

“Apartment spotless, welcome pack a fantastic touch and flowers. Cot bed made up with blanket and sheets and towels laid on top - another lovely touch. Would definitely visit apartment and resort again. Perfect for children. Many lovely touches - flowers, welcome pack, toys, furnished to high standard, very large and spacious. Service was also fantastic! We had a really lovely holiday thank you.
Mr & Mrs K. W. Midlands. May 08

"Just a quick line to thank you very much for the hire of your apartment. We loved it! We were very impressed with the quality of the build itself and the stylish way you had decorated it. We made full use of the kitchen facilities and found all of the appliances a bonus. The welcome pack was a very thoughtful idea too and made sure we had the essentials to be going on with on our arrival in the resort. We enjoyed all of the restaurants we tried and Peniche was our favourite town for eating out. The apartment and resort both exceeded our expectations and the area itself was very beautiful and rustic"
Mr & Mrs G. Suffolk. April 08

"We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and thank you very much for the opportunity to stay in such a splendid apartment. We rate the holiday 10 out of 10. The most enjoyable aspect was walking the magnificent beaches and the least enjoyable aspect was having to leave! The apartment and resort were beyond our expectations and would certainly consider re-visiting both again. Everything had been done very professionally and will book apartments rather than hotels in future after having stayed at Praia D'el Rey. Thank you for introducing us to the Silver Coast!"
Mr & Mrs R. Dumfriesshire. March 08

"We would rate our holiday at 9 out of 10. The most enjoyable aspect? Golf for Paul and the quality of the whole holiday for Debbie, the apartment, pool, PDR itself, the beaches, restaurants, tranquillity. The website, info pack and guest folder were all very useful and we don't think there is any need to improve. Directions to and from the airport were also excellent. The apartment and resort were above our expectations. We would consider revisiting both your apartment and the resort. The whole holiday experience was first class."
Mr & Mrs S. Nottinghamshire. Sept 07

"The apartment, its beautiful location and the tranquillity were the best bits of our holiday. The apartment exceeded our expectations. Very smart clean stylish and beautifully situated for the sun and pool/gardens. Your service prior to us arriving was spot on."
Mr & Mrs K. Lancashire. Aug 07

"We rate our holiday at Praia D'el Rey at 9/10. Difficult to define the most enjoyable aspect, but think it would have to be the beach! We were impressed with the apartment from your website, but in reality it is even better, excellent quality, and larger than we had expected. We thought the resort impressive and well-maintained and would definitely consider re-visiting your apartment and the Praia D'el Rey resort. We have received excellent service from you - it has been a pleasure."
Mr & Mrs S. Essex. July 07

"A lovely apartment in a lovely complex and we really did relax. We loved the complex and went for walks with the family each evening. The apartment was excellent. Your website was also excellent and that is what made us book it. We usually give it a rest for a year before revisiting but I would certainly recommend your accommodation if not returning before too long ourselves."

Mr & Mrs D. Norfolk. June 07

"Very professional service with personal touch, apartment superb, welcome pack appreciated...especially with having young children and arriving late, would recommend both your apartment and resort, very child friendly."

Mr & Mrs B from Norwich. May 07

"We had a wonderful time in Portugal, you have a lovely holiday home. We will definitely come again and make recommendations to friends."

Mr & Mrs L from London. April 07

"We had a lovely holiday. The weather was much better then at home, where it was snowing! The children did use the swimming pool although it was a little cold for that. We've seen a lot of the surroundings. Which is an excellent benefit of the location. You can do a lot of sight seeing or just walk along the beach and search for shells and that sort of thing. The girls were really delighted to see the lovely children's books in their room. We didn't read our own ones! They of course also loved the toys in the living room and the Winnie the Pooh DVD. The apartment was perfectly equipped."

Mr & Mrs P from Netherlands. March 07

"We had a wonderful holiday in Praia Del Rey. The apartment was beautiful and tastefully furnished. The three bedrooms are very spacious. Both the lounge and kitchen are excellently fitted out and bright. The situation is quiet and unspoilt, with the large swimming pool a real bonus. We found the site representative is very pleasant and helpful. The location of Praia Del Rey is tranquil anf idyllic and the weather is just right, being slightly cooler than Lisbon. One is easily able to find good restaurants in the near vicinity. The beach restaurant is partiqularly good. The locations of Caldas and the Lagoon are ideal places to visit. We shall be returning next year."

Mr & Mrs C. from Buckinghamshire. Jun 06

"We had a wonderful holiday. the weather was fine, not too hot and the apartment is great. The interior is absolutely beautiful and it really felt like home away from home. The boys spent ages in the pool and were delighted with the presence of a tv and video. We don't play golf, so I cannot comment on the golfourse, but we recommended the apartment and the resort to a number of people over here, there are many keen golfers in Ireland!"

Mr D. from Ireland. July 06

" loved the resort and your apartment is just gorgeous, I love the interiors, beds and linen were great, very comfortable and glad to see you have throws on couch, I had my boys warned to have hands washed prior to sitting down! Our location was fab, we could see the kids from living area, bedroom and kitchen. You also have a great selection of books for adults. We will have no hesitation in recommending it to friends and family. Loved praia del rey and surrounding areas especially Obidos, Caldas and Foz. My kids enjoyed the tennis, first day was great only 8 of them, but next day there were about 17 kids and only 2 instructors so we opted then for 3 private lessons for matthew and stephen together. They really enjoyed the adventure club and did a day with them body boarding, kayaking etc, while mum got a day pass to Mariott Hotel and luxuriated down there. Great medieval festival in Obidos, fab for families.

All in all a great holiday, many thanks."

Mrs M. from Ireland. July 06

"The most enjoyable aspects of our stay were the pool was just right for cooling down after being out and about in the car. The easy accessibility of the very interesting surrounding towns and villages was also brilliant. The fresh fruit and fish was also excellent (Supermarket Peaches will never taste the same again). David (nearly 16) enjoyed the clubhouse with some other teenagers who were in the next door apartment.

The resort is very well located for access to the surrounding sites which we explored thoroughly. The facilities in the apartment were excellent the stereo and dvd player were welcome."

Mr & Mrs H. from Hertforshire. August 06

"10/10 for our holiday in PDR - so much to see and do. The apartment exceeded our expectations, it really was lovely. Would we go back to PDR and your apartment? - We have made an offer for an apartment in Praia del Rey whilst there. Had this not been the case then it would have been a Yes and Yes."

Mr & Mrs N. from Lancashire. August 06

"We had a superb time. A beautiful apartment , very homely and welcoming..thank you."

Mrs M. from Cheshire. October 06
