QBV is located less than 10 minutes from the medieval walled city of Óbidos as well as the more recent (but very intriguing) Buddha Eden. World-class surfing spots and perfect beginners’ beaches are within 25 minutes’ drive, and during the winter you can reach the monstrous, record-breaking waves at Nazaré in about 45 minutes. The same distance but further to the north will get you to the UNESCO World Heritage monastery at Alcobaça, and in one hour you can reach the UNESCO monastery at Batalha. Tomar, Coimbra, Sintra, Fatima, and Mafra are regular day trips for visitors based at QBV.
With such comfortable and well-equipped accommodation, and our knowledge, experience and contacts in this area, QBV has been a successful base for numerous overseas couples looking to move to this area. (However, if this is your plan, we strongly urge that you avoid the peak summer months when longer-term stays can be costly.)
