The Costa de Prata/Silver Coast region
Portugal's Western region is blessed with a mild year round climate typical of southern Europe creating ideal conditions for all sorts of outdoor activities. It is a land of vinyards and lush green valleys set between the Montejunto mountains and the Atlantic ocean.
The Silver Coast, a gem of largely undiscovered beauty and fine sandy beaches, gets its name from the effect of the sun on the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. You will enjoy spending time in a protected area of such outstanding natural beauty.
Eating out in this region is both affordable and satisfying. There are top-class restaurants, which are excellent value for money. Seafood is obviously a speciality and can be enjoyed with a good white wine of the region.
This is an exceptionally friendly and welcoming area, you will find it pleasurable to spend time in quieter part of Portugal less frequented by tourists.
Praia D'el Rey Golf and Country Club area
The luxurious Praia D'el Rey Golf and Beach Resort (Portugal's Leading Resort 2007 and 2008 - World Travel Awards) is set in natural pine woodland on the beautiful pristine shoreline of Portugal's Silver Coast, just 45 minutes drive (via motorway) from Lisbon's International airport. See www.praia-del-rey.com for more details about the resort.
An exclusive and attractive award winning resort with a top ranked 18 hole championship golf course, a 5 star Marriott Hotel with spa, gym, restaurants and bars, shops, tennis academy, football centre, children's activity centre/games room and miles of unspoilt sandy beaches.
Golfers will enjoy the course for both its spectacular views and overall quality. Voted European Golf Resort of the Year 2007 (International Association of Golf Tour Operators) and Best Golf Development 2008 (Homes Overseas Awards) as well as being ranked 80th in the World and 13th in Continental Europe by Golf World magazine.
The opening of the new Bom Sucesso course, just five minutes drive from Praia D'El Rey, means that golfers can now play two top-rated courses during their stay.
Beach Balcony is situated in the new Vila da Praia (Beach Village in Portuguese) part of the resort; an area of cobbled squares, fountains, gardens, stunning ocean views and 3 swimming pools.
This is a real outdoor playground, ideal for walking, cycling, swimming, surfing (at the resort or nearby at the famous surfing beach of Baleal) or kite surfing. Excellent sailing, windsurfing, scuba diving, sea fishing and horse riding also available in the vicinity.
The nearby (15 mins) medieval walled town of Obidos is in a magnificent state of repair, and enjoys World Heritage status. Within the walls are fascinating alleys which have become home to high-class handicraft and gift shops as well as excellent bars and restaurants.
Close by is Caldas da Rainha, famous for its spa - for 4 centuries only the noble and those with royal patronage had permission to enjoy it! This is also the best place for shopping in local area, with several supermarkets, banks, street markets and quality shops.
It is also enjoyable to walk along the sea wall at the local fishing port of Peniche before visiting one of the many harbour-side restaurants for fresh fish cooked on a barbecue.

Guestbook for Beach Balcony
“We had a really great holiday. The apartment is spacious, wonderfully fitted out and has fantastic views over a beautiful beach and golf course. We didn’t want to come back home!” Carl Lawson, Berkhamsted, UK (Sep 09).
"The information provided was detailed and accurate and on arrival at Praia D'el Rey we were delighted to find a beautiful apartment - as someone on your site has already commented the pictures do not do it justice. The views are stunning. My husband and teenage son who are normally immune to such things were really impressed by the quality of the apartment. This is by far the best holiday accommodation we have stayed in. We could not believe that such a beautiful beach and location could be so uncrowded in the middle of August. I enjoyed walking and running on the beach each morning with almost the entire beach to myself - fantastic. Our teenage son enjoyed various activities at Club Adventura (surfing and paint-balling) and also the TV and movies! My husband enjoyed the golf. Thank you very much for a lovely holiday". Jeanette Collett, Devon, UK (Aug 09).
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Beach Balcony. As a family of 4 (kids 11 and 9) we needed plenty of varied things to do which Praia D'el Rey and the Silver Coast offered. The apartment was just what we wanted, very well specified and in a great location". Derek Walker, Herts, UK (Aug 09).
"Our stay in Beach Balcony was really fantastic, we enjoyed it very much. Watching the sunsets from the sofas or from the dining table was incredibly beautiful". Dietmar Sawatzki, Berlin (Aug 09).
"Staying in 'Beach Balcony' was a sheer delight - spacious, tastefully furnished and excellent location with superb views over the ocean and golf course. We can give an absolutely positive recommendation for the 'Beach Balcony' as a holiday location. We were so pleased with our week in July that we have booked again for September". Mike Ford, Herts, UK (Jul 09).
"Beautiful apartment, awesome location. Portugal doesn't get better than this! I'm sure we'll be back!" Roger Greene, West Sussex, UK (Jun 09).
"We had a very nice stay at your apartment. Its position is amazing and the quality of equipment is truly beyond expectations. A five star hotel room with the size of a nice family flat and an outstanding view of the sea." Jeanne Adeline, Paris (May 09).
"A stunning apartment in a great year round destination. We had a lovely winter break." John & Kath, Dorset , UK (Dec 08).
"We absolutely loved staying in your apartment, it was perfect. Great location, and views from the balcony were spectacular. We all felt the pictures on the website don't do your place justice". Pedro, London, (Aug 08).
"Your apartment is extremely comfortable and the views from the terrace were absolutey stunning. The quality is extremely high. We know the resort quite well and it is a perfect location for a great holiday. We love this area in Portugal and personnally I couldn't recommend it too highly". Simon & Sue, Rossendale, UK (Aug 08).
"Your apartment is the best we have ever stayed in. We travel a lot and the standard of your apartment is first class. Each day we felt looking out we were on a cruise ship with the panoramic view of the sea. Pool below and beach in front - what more can one ask for! There is no doubt you have the best apartment location wise. Very spacious. Highly recommended." Susan and Ray, Dublin, Ireland (Jul 08).
