About
Nestled in the serene countryside of the Silver Coast, just a stone's throw from Caldas da Rainha, this hidden gem is a mere hour's drive north from the vibrant pulse of Lisbon and a brief half-hour escapade from the captivating coastal allure of Foz do Arelho and São Martinho do Porto, as well as the enchanting Óbidos Lagoon.
Step into the embrace of a quintessential old Portuguese farmhouse (Quinta) that weaves together a tapestry of charm – a collection of annexes, a capacious retreat room, a sun-kissed patio adorned with a pergola, sprawling gardens, tranquil ponds, and a breathtaking pool that offers a panoramic spectacle of the surrounding scenery.
Indulge in a more natural and health-conscious lifestyle with our freshly prepared vegetarian lacto-ovo breakfasts, crafted from locally sourced ingredients. We extend a warm welcome to your furry companions, inviting them to roam freely in our expansive, fully fenced garden alongside our three sociable dogs.

We have found paradise on earth, and they have made it possible.
Warmhearted and extremely hardworking, funny and competent hosts. You will love them to the moon.
But don't you dare get in our way for a room to our next visit....
The location is set in beautiful scenery overlooking the valley, and was private and quiet.
The accommodation itself has so many beautiful places to sit or wander; the gardens were an exploratory delight, and I loved finding a Buddha here and there in amongst the trees, and loved the pond and deck area.
Nearer the house is a lovely, clean swimming pool in a terraced area with loungers.
The room we had was gorgeous. Old wood flooring, cute windows, original artwork by Mirjam ( I loved the wee dog painting!) and lovely access up the stairs to our room, with our own balcony. Perfect in the evenings. The ensuite bathroom was spacious, with traditional decor, but had all the modern amenities, and everything we needed.
Our hosts, Domenico and Mirjam, were so welcoming to their home. We were treated very much like friends visiting rather than guests, and this made for a very relaxing and stress free stay for us in our daily tours around the area.
We treated ourselves on one of the evenings to a meal at the house, and again, Domenico and Mirjam were fantastic dinner hosts, with gorgeous homemade Italian food made by Domenico, and entertaining chat on just about everything!
The breakfasts were fresh and healthy (cereals, fruit, homemade breads, jams, cheeses, juices, and homemade cake/ pastry) and plenty of it.
Enjoyed our morning greetings from dogs big Nacho and wee Linus!
Domenico had prepared tips for good eating places within a 30 mins or so driving radius (places he'd been to himself) and all of them were spot on. Highly recommend any of them, from the Indian restaurant in Caldas, the fish restaurant in
Sao Martinho and the family run restaurant Solar Dos Amigos to name a few!
Great location to visit the Buddha Eden garden in Bombarral, Obidos, Alcobacar, Caldas da Rainha, Foz do Arelho, etc.
In short, we would highly recommend Vida Vi and it's lovely hosts, as well as the peaceful location, yet within easy reach of so many great places in Portugal.
Fabulous holiday here - thank you !
Impeccable cleanliness of the rooms and common areas: salt pool where you can cool off on hot days, small settings here and there where you can spend a few moments of meditation listening to the sounds of nature. Not least the company of their three dogs who welcomed us in the morning and good night in the evening.
Highly recommend!
We were so thrilled to have found them!
One of the owners and managers of the facility, Fernanda who, it turns out, is also an accomplished professional interior designer, seems to have taken a personal interest in the design of every detail of this stunning facility. Words and photographs can not do it justice, I can not praise it enough. Rooms from about 50 Euro to about 100 Euro depending upon the room and the season. Evening meals are also available. The very best of Portugal.
I stayed for 14 days and can honestly say it is the best hotel I have been to. Fernanda and Zé along with André, could not do enough for us. If you are looking for peace, tranquility, beautiful gardens, this is for you.
You do need a car as it is around 30 mins from Caldas da Rainha, the nearest town.
I want to go back very soon!!
Here they read your wishes from your eyes.
4-5 rooms, some in the annex building, some in the main. A huge livingroom, a pool and total silence. That's what you find here.
The garden of about 2 hecktar with a little pond and fairy tale like views.
We will come back!!!
