We had a very good time at the nice place of Miguel. He was kind and easy reachable. His brother, who was also very kind and enthousiastic showed us around the first day. Very beatiful renovated house with very nice details from the fifties, sixties. Very clean house. Nice large garden with good seating outside. Good supermarket nearby. Beach also nearby. We loved to visit all the places surrounding sintra, which very 20 minutes drive from the home. The only negative thing was that the first day there were noices from houses being build or renovated nearby. But otherwise very nice place. Very good for children also. We hope to be able to visit it again in the future.

We loved to stay in this place. If you like to have some space - this is it. The villa and the garden are as nice as it looks on the pictures. Miguel gave us such a warm welcome and showed us everything. He even drove us around to show us all the good places nearby. I HIGHLY recommend this awesome villa.

Miguel is a host as you want it. The house and garden are very nice. Everything is there that you need. Nearby are 4 beautiful beaches and you can z. B. with tram ride to Sintra and from there by train to Lisbon. We, family with 3 children (14, 12 and 2 years) have to be thoroughly enjoyed it here. Thanks Miguel!

We didn't meet Miguel, but his Aunt who lives nearby was there to greet us. A lovely house, very well appointed with a bike to go to the local baker, several sitting out areas especially the one in the picture, a big garden with hedgehogs. Sintra is full of interest, especially the moors' castle and the gardens at Montseratte. Excellent fish restaurants at Pria da Maças especially Buzos. Beaches around good for surfing, less for swimming. Also the weather was much worse than South of the Sintra hills. We went to Cascais, Estoril and the beach East of Forte de Julio de Barra at Carcavelos where the sea was calm and the beach sheltered from the wind. Delightful people around, I think we were unlucky with the weather but this well equipped house made it a great pleasure. We especially appreciated delivery of peppers and tomatoes from your local uncle. Thank you.

We were 2 small families staying at Miguel's house. It's a charming house with plenty of character, mixture of beautiful old furniture with some contemporary pieces. The garden around the house is huge (it's more like a plot of land actually) and absolutely amazing with its pine trees and colorful flowers. The house is very well equiped with all the facilities you need. There is also an outhouse/anex which is a nice seating area with bathroom and good laundry facility. It's nice to sit outside in the evening, have a barbecue and listen to a music (there is a music system where you can attach your phone, mp3, etc.). Miguel has been a superb host. Very open and helpful. He showed us around, told more about the local area, gave us some useful tips and advice. Everytime we've had a questions, his response was almost immediate. Very warm and enthusiastic person, we couldn't ask for a better host! This was our second visit in this region. You can easily reach from Miguel's house some of Portugal's most beautiful places like Sintra, Praia da Adraga (and many other fantastic beaches), Cabo da Roca, charming town of Cascais and fantastic Lisbon which is just 40min drive. Also shops and restaurants are in a walking distance or short drive fromt the house. Our only dissapoinment (but I'm sure it can be improved) were downstairs bedrooms. As it's a very old house, there is a specific smell and especially in downstairs bedrooms the smell is a bit stale and old. It's probably due to the fact that no one lives there and windows are closed. We didn't use these bedrooms and our daughter slept in our bedroom on a matress. I already shared it with Miquel so I'm sure he can do something about it. I can truly recommend to anyone to stay in Miguel's house. You will feel like at home straight away and enjoy discovering this quirky house and its beautiful garden. Thank you Miguel for your hospitality, it was a pleasure for us to stay in Colares.

A week ago we stayed at the home of Michael and it was a wonderful experience. Although Michael could not greet his aunt Mary was a lovely, helpful, attentive and willing to help in any way we needed hostess. He had some wonderful details with us and was watching us at all times. The house is wonderful, beautiful, pristine and meticulous to the last detail. The formidable, very nice and stylish decor. The whole house was equipadísima with everything needed, which helped us a lot since we were traveling with two children aged 1 and 2 years, they enjoyed even more than lush garden of the dwelling. The location of the house is excellent, very close to the beach and in a beautiful setting, near Sintra and Lisbon. In a very quiet and beautiful area. Ideal to relax and discover beautiful places. I recommend everyone this home. It's been an amazing holiday and will definitely repeat! Thanks for everything Michael, and Mary too.

We spent two weeks with our teenage kids at Miguel´s house in Colares. In every aspect of the stay, it has been a wonderful experience, which we are certain to repeat. Because the house was fantastic and because there remains so much to discover in the area. The old family summer residence is located in a very pleasant upscale suburbian neighbourhood, close to a great variety of beaches, 15mins to Sintra and 50mins to Lissabon center or airport. It is totally quiet, as the huge and shady garden provides a good distance from the street. The house has the charm of a 19th century villa with its oak floors and high ceilings. It has been renovated and decorated nicely as portrayed in the pictures. Miguel has been extremely helpful and quick to respond all the way through. His aunt received us very pleasantly when we arrived and gave us a personal quided tour through the neigbourhood. All in all a totally positive discovery and experience. Thilo

The house is a great holiday home! There are two large bedrooms upstairs and two connected ones downstairs, a comfy living room, a dining room, a kitchen with annex and ofcourse the highlight, the garden! The terrace is superb and there is ample space to roam and play around. There is an outdoor house with extra bathroom and sitting room and washing machine. Beaches are close (4min. Drive) and shops and cafes are in nearby colares (5min). There are plenty of sites to visit in under 30min driving, so superb location. You dont want to commute to Lisbon daily but it is close enough for a day trip. Miguel is simply the best host. Very communicative, friendly and attentive. He insisted on showing us around the region in his car. Driving past the best restaurants and beaches and explaining all about the area! He went out of his way to buy a baby bath and teo extra child chairs for us, thanks Miguel!! It is not completely deserted/quiet as it is close to the main road. You will hear the cars from the garden but this also provides quick access. We were a family with the two kids under two and it was perfect for us and would have been also perfect when they would have been older.

Isabel is very friendly and welcoming host, she is always ready to help you! The house is very clean and charming, also as the city in general. This is the cool place, if you want to relax and also to see wonderful beaches (all the beaches close to the Colares are very beautiful), also it is a great place to stay, if you want to see such big cities as Cascais and Sintra, but to live in a smaller and more quiet place.

Everything was fine and as presented as on the pics. The room was clean and quite. The house is located next to an eco cooperation, where you can buy fresh eco vegatables, bread etc. Isabel, the host seems to be a very interesting person, who has a lot to say. It's a shame that her just met her shortly. The communication was prompte and helpful. From Lisbon it takes you a while to travel to Colares, when you come by public transport - but it's possible. :) It will take you around 1,5-2h depending on bus and train schedule. You need to change three times. The bus stop is nect door. With that bus you can even go to Praia Grande, Anzenhas do Mar and beautiful Sintra. Praia Grande is the next beach and it's a 15-20 minutes walk.

Really nice place right next to an organic farming cooperative, which was initiated by the host. I felt right at home, even the kitchen was full of delicious, organic items just like at my place :-) Isabel and her daughter are lovely, warm-hearted people who made me feel very welcome!

Isabel was very nice and welcoming to me so I felt like home every time I would come back from the trips. Also the explanations she gave to me about surroundings were very accurate so I didn't panic that I would be lost. I can't make a list of favorite things I enjoyed at Isabel's because I was very happy about the conditions she offered. My host was the best in creating a safe, hospitable and positive environment. She always received me with a smile and asked me how my day was. She was so caring that she even awakened in the morning I had to go to the airport to tell me about a bus that comes earlier ten the bus schedule provided. This information helped me a lot because I had an morning plain to catch, so she saved me again. She was so implicated even in helping me to check-in with my returning flight. Isabel was my Guarding angel this past days and a close friend. She gave me the felling of wanting to return in another journey, because I still have so many things to see and to live.

Isabel is a warm and lovely woman, and her eco farm is a wonderful retreat which I hope to return to in the future. 25 minutes walk to the most incredible beaches and salt swimming pool. There is a bus stop right outside, but I like the walk along the tram tracks. I loved having the organic shop in the garden - and discovering your tasty carob pods! The occasional music events which I could drop in to if I was feeling sociable. The room was peaceful with lovely views over the farm to the hills beyond. I loved the big old teacher's desk in the bedroom and I made good use of it, but if I return I may take the double bedroom instead since the single one opening off the kitchen can be a little noisy when other people are cooking.

Everything was simply perfect! Isabel is the most friendly and wonderful person I ever met through AirBNB. I love the whole atmosphere, you have a eco shop nearby, the house is a really wonderful old house in Portuguese style, the room is perfect for one person and you have most of the time a very peaceful and quiet house for yourself. Isabel doesn't mind to share the living room and of course kitchen and bathroom. Everything is clean. I really enjoyed my stay.

Magical place, magical people! So grateful to have had time on the farm and at the beach. Would love to return! Obrigata!

Isabel and Joana are welcoming hosts. Isabels house, the garden, the people on the farm... it's just a great place. It's easy to take the bus to Sintra or Cascais, or to walk to the beaches. I stayed for 9 days and enjoyed it a lot. Unfortunately I got a different room - when I booked it, I was really looking forward to the beautiful view and the desk like presented on the pictures. So I was a bit disappointed. When I told Isabel that, she invited me to use the desk in the former room whenever I want. So this was really nice. I had a great time in Colares!

Perfect. Peaceful. Close to Sintra - hike in the national park, close to Lisbon for city visit too. Easy to access by car. Paula was super warm welcoming making sure we had all we needed. Thank you! Absolutely recommended!

Very beautiful scenery around... perfect holiday location. Very sweet host... had a great time!

Very nice quiet country house in a very nice area close to Sintra and also to the beach. Paula was a great host!

This house is for 4 people, not 6. It has two bedrooms:one with double bed and one with two separate one person beds. We stayed in April and there were lots of mosctioes in the bedroom and other flying insects in the bathroom. Apart from that it was ok.

It was a pleasure to have some holidays in this place. The house was great, Vasco is very helpful and sympatic! Everything was totaly what we need : quiet, close to the ocean and beaches, Sintra and its castles... Perfect holidays! Thank you very much, really!

The place is really nice, in the middle of a beautiful nature, but really easy to get there with a car. The house is big and well equipped and the host really nice and easy to communicate with. Wonderful stay :)

Casa impecavel, tudo limpo e a funcionar. A localização é óptima para fugir ao stress da cidade A anfitriã é extremamente simpática e prestável Optimo preco/qualidade

A casa fica numa localização muito bela, eu realmente não conhecia o parque nacional de Sintra e essa estadia me deixou bem feliz. Casa em local silencioso, em contato com a natureza, há 30 minutos da praia (a pé). O lugar é amplo e bem preparado para receber os hospedes. Nota 10!

Great house in a great location. Close to Lisbon, Sintra, beaches, surfing and great walks. Had a super time and Ana and Nuno were really great!

Enjoyed, the house was well located, easy communication and the beach was not far away, you could go strolling through the complex. Very nice house though it may seem old but for us it turned out very pleasant personality transmitia and was in good condition. Very nice hostess and speaks fluent Spanish. very quiet place to relax and be with family site.

We've had very good and the area is very beautiful, well worth a visit. We have been very comfortable in the house and the setting is spectacular. The hostess is very nice and attentive, and at all times was aware of our needs. Highly recommended.

We spent an amaizing week in the house. It is cosy, confortable and has everything needed to rest and enjoy this beautiful area of Portugal. Sintra natural park is worthy for more than a week. Great landscape, seaside, hiking, castles, palaces, food and wine. The house is located in the perfect and quite place to enjoy everything in a very short car distance.

Thanks for everything, the House perfect, clean, cared for, with everything you need and to highlight the musical taste of the owner in its cd´s, quiet beaches 5 minutes drive, nearby restaurants... in the end, we will return.

Overall, we had a wonderful experience at this beautiful home. Sofia & Pedro were very communicative and helpful. The only negative comment would be that the rooms and bathroom upstairs were all designed with children in mind so they are a little smaller with low ceilings at some points. We were a group of 6 adults so those who had the bedrooms upstairs were a little disappointed.

We were a group of 4 adults and 3 young children. We have stayed at many villas before but this was our first air bnb experience. The villa is well presented, spotless and well maintained. The pool is gated which means you are not worrying about the little ones being in danger and the pool is a nice size. There is plenty of outdoor space again all well maintained. A small BBQ and outdoor tables and chairs to eat out. The kitchen has everything you need and more. You could feed a busy restaurant with the equipment in there :) Jorge is a great host. When we needed any info he was always available to drop in for a chat and give advice on shopping, places to see etc. Without his advice we would have missed some of the best places in the locality. He is even a wine expert which made our stay all the more enjoyable as we all love to try different wines. We had great privacy in the house. Its in a quiet area which seems to be mostly made up of holiday villas. The walk to nearby Colares is about 10 mins. You are also well placed to drive into Sintra or get the bus from Colares. We all had a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday and would not hesitate to recommend this villa and Jorge to anyone.

Jorge is an amazing host, he provided great information about the house an the surroundings. I would recommend this house to anybody, no hesitation and it was really easy to communicate with Jorge! My friends and I had a great week here!

The house is in very good condition, clean, well equipped, very spacious communal areas (kitchen, dining room). The children have enjoyed the garden. The area is beautiful, just outside the house is a path leading into the woods, and the beach is very close, castles 20-30 min drive. There are several shops in the village, and parking for several cars in the driveway. We really enjoyed our holiday in Sintra, someday we return!

The house in Colares was a terrific location for our two families to stay close to Sintra. Colares itself has a handful of small shops and a small supermarket, while there are a couple of great sandy beaches a short drive away. Jorge made our arrival super easy, even after delays to our flight and traffic in Lisbon. Jorge also recommended the local horse riding school which the kids loved, and was kind enough to show us his own horses too. We all greatly enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again.

Good contact with the preparation and available when needed. Speaks good English and makes a pleasant impression. Fine!

JOrge was the most helpful and wonderful host we could have hoped for.Best ever.Checked that all was fine.Really cared for us.

House very well located. Good condition, well equipped. The repeat

This is a wonderful, spacious villa in a quiet spot in the forest. The beach is literally 10 mins drive away, and the hills of Sintra 20 mins or so. Lisbon a bit further, so this is ideal if you prefer tranquility and surrounded by nature. Jorge was a great host, discreet and offering advice on what to see. He made the sure pool was clean for us and the kids may good use of it. Good water temp even in May. We were a group of 6 adults with 5 kids and the house is a perfect size - even to all have breakfast on the patio by the pool, after buying fresh bread and cakes 10 mins walk in to the village. The gardens are well tended, every room spacious and clean, kept simple but with all amenities provided - kitchen equipment, towels etc. You will want to claim the fab upstairs bedroom with great view to the hills! The place and host are well recommended. Please look after it as we want to return!

Thanks Julia for a stunning stay, the house was absolutely delightful. We have rented some places all over the world and your house was certainly the cleanest rental accommodation we have ever rented. It was even nicer then the pictures could show. The equipment in the house is complete; everything you would require is available. The beddings and towels were of a very fine quality and very clean. The salt-water pool is great and we used it a lot, despite the temperature of 15°C. The decoration of the house is stylish and elegant. We had a great and relaxing time in it. We were overwhelmed by the fact that on arrival Julia had arranged welcome local pastries and coffee as well as juice, milk and even some food to get you started! She is absolute great with little details, such as water bottles on the bedside tables! Julia also was absolutely brilliant with her communication. That started with the confirmation, the arrival details, a catch-up email closer to arrival and finally her warm welcome when we finally arrived an hour later because of some problems with the rental car. It is just worth mentioning, that the bathroom upstairs is for short people only, but that is not a problem, there is a second bathroom on the ground floor. The only thing that interrupted the otherwise very relaxing time in the house was the constant barking of all the dogs in the neighbourhood. But over all, we had wonderful 10 days in the house and we can highly recommend Julia’s house!

Very nice place and house, we enjoyed it and will come back! Julia is a 1st class Host and her house is perfect

I loved the pool (which was salt water) and the house smelled great. The beds were terribly comfy and the TV's are very modern. The location was very private and quiet. I haven't had such good sleeps where I live as at Julias. Julia was very nice and gave us a tour of the awesome house. We couldn't have asked for a better house and hostess.

Julia's house is a heaven on earth. The house is exactly like in the pictures: beautiful and very well designed stylish home. The pool is gorgeous with all the flowers and a marble floor. The area is nice and quiet: perfect place to relax. There are beautiful beaches very near and cozy local restaurants in walking distance. Julia welcomed us with open arms and she had even put some local sweets and fresh juice for us to enjoy right away. She showed us the whole house which had all the necessities we could even dream of. Julia also replied us super quickly when we had some questions about the house later on. We were group of 5 people and we stayed in the house for a week. We are definitely going back one day. Thank you Julia!!

The house was delightful. It was certainly the cleanest rental accommodation we have ever rented. The house had all the elements one required. The linens and towels were of an especially fine quality. We loved the warm and secluded pool. The house is ideal if you want to just relax - decorated with style and elegance. We appreciated the hostess's attention to detail like leaving pastries in the kitchen with welcome sign as well as water on the night tables - juice and coffee also on hand. Julia was also very forthcoming with her communication which started with the confirmation, arrival details, catch-up email closer to arrival and finally hand over of the rental - we can highly recommend this rental and the process is very pleasant, professional smooth with Julia - Many thanks for a great week!

Beautiful, very clean and good equipped house just made for a couple or family. Great and very friendly communication with Julia, who made our stay even more relaxed. The location is just perfect to discover sintra, the near lovley beaches or Lissabon (35 min). We were very happy and will come back for sure! Thank you very much Julia and all the best to you and your familly!

Júlia very friendly welcome and good communication - The house was like the pictures. Very clean with absolutely everything you could need for the kitchen, bathroom, etc. Easy to park outside the house. Not far from the beaches and a small center with supermarket. By car you can easily visit Sintra, Cascais and Guincho beach do from home. One note, if you are very tall, be careful that the rooms and the upstairs bath room are under sloping roofs and you might bump your head regularly. Overall a very good experience that I recommend.

What a great stay! Julia is a great hostess. We arrived at the house after some car troubles, and even though we were a bit late She gave us a wArm welcome. The house was clean and obviously beautiful. Loads of clean towels and fresh smelling shampoo like in a fancy Hotel. The stay felt really luxurious. Julia had Even set out local treats for us to taste. Great house, and a Nice host. Remember to rent a car, and you are looking at a very Nice stay!! Marie and Eirik :)

We had contact with Miguel bye phone only as the appartment was belonging to his grandfather and grantmother. Neverless we could discuss with Miguel, helping us to mate conversation with his family. The people Serge so nice with us. Thanks to everybody.

I went with my boyfriend for a wedding in Colares and were very well received by Miguel. The whole house and especially the room where we are very comfortable and quiet. A pity we could not stay longer.

Isabel made us feel very welcome right from the start! She drew us a map of all the beaches within walking distance and showed us around her very nice and cozy house. We loved to go to the little eco shop behind the house and get home made bread and veggies. The kitchen us well stocked and we prepared most of our meals by ourselves. Getting to Isabel's place without car from Lisbon is very easy, we took the train from Rossio to Sintra, which runs very frequently, walked through the beautiful center to station Portela de Sintra and took the bus to Colares.

Isabel's place is a charming home in a lovely place. The view is awesome and the kitchen well equipped for cooking. The warm, homemade bread at the co-op was incredible and Isabel was a warm and friendly host. Would love to return one day!

Wonderful place to stay! Isabel is a very lovely, extremely welcoming host! The house and the room are very nice. You can buy your fresh organic food at the Eco Coop next door and use the kitchen to cook. The beaches are near, we walked there almost every day. Our initial intention was to stay for one week but as we really enjoyed the place, we decided to stay for another week :) Isabel is a very active women, so she was not at home very often. But when she was, we enjoyed it a lot! The people working in the Eco Coop and the whole community are all very lovely. Thank you also very much for the great dinner we had all together the day before we left! We can highly recommend the place and hope to come back soon :)

Isabel is one of the kindest people you will ever meet! She greeted us with a warm hug when we arrived and every morning we were there. She showed us her home and when we opened the door to the bedroom she had left chocolates and a fruit basket beside the bed. Her hospitality is unparalleled. Her place is absolutely beautiful. You will wake up in the morning to the soft sound of birds chirping and the sun rise is right outside your window. When you look out you have the perfect view overlooking her very well maintained garden where she grows fruits and vegetables using a permaculture agricultural system. There was no need for us to even go to a restaurant while we were there! Right beside the house is her Eco Co-operative where she sells everything she grows and my goodness I have never tasted such fresh produce! If anyone I knew was going to Sintra I would INSIST they stay here! (We stayed in 3 Airbnbs during our time in Portugal and this was the best one!)

Our family enjoyed comfortable and authentic house, very friendly neighbours, quietness and simplicity. The place has its own aura and gives a lot of space for thoughts. Isabel is energetic, inspiring woman.

Isabel is helpful with tips about the local area, and everything is provided as listed in the listing. The room and house were as described and the atmosphere is welcoming.

We loved staying at Isabel's house! It is wonderful place to stay at, room was lovely and everything was a lot nicer and better than we could expect! The house it fantastic, we really felt like at home! The house has it own soul, brilliant! Isabel is such a nice lady, so warm and friendly, we felt really happy for staying there! And the Eco shop is wonderful! The place is easy to access, really close to the beach and in beautiful area! We 100% recommend!

We loved staying at Isabel's place. She made us feel very welcome and it felt like a home away from home. We had free use of the kitchen and made the most of the Eco coop to buy delicious fruit and veg and prepare our own meals. Highly recommend for a relaxing stay.

we were greeted warmly by Artur who showed us the area and given the best addresses, the house is spacious, it has retained its original charm .... great place to visit Sintra and the countryside

Artur was a perfect host: friendly and available. The house and garden are full of charm, the kitchen is spacious and bright. The situation is ideal to visit the palaces of Sintra, Lisbon, beaches and many other things remaining in the costs of the valley. The house is clean, but if it suffers a refurb and a little more equipment. (Including Mattress). We have a problem with the washing machine and Artur is of stepped away! We also had a non-exploitable bathroom.

Thank you very much to Artur and Anna for their warm welcome, they were very caring and made us enjoy a few known secrets of premises (good fish, the typical restaurant, etc.) This house is great for a family vacation, the sea is nearby, the area has an extremely rich heritage, natural and architectural something easily complete a stay meeting everyone! In short, we had a great week, very comfortable house (small problem: the beds are 130 cm wide), large and well equipped, perfect pool. Thank you !

Arthur and his wife welcomed us very well. He introduced us to his house and then we took him touring around to show us the best places SINTRA. It also allowed us to arrive earlier on the lease and leave later at no extra charge because the organization of the lease allow. Arthur left available 4 bikes and boards murray for children. The photos correspond to the rented housing.

Arthur is a charming and very attentive host. He and his wife received us extremely well. In a difficult situation, help and understanding we were very valuable, they guided us in our facility. We had a very nice stay in their home, with a well equipped kitchen (we were ten). The house meets the pictures with an old world charm (the bedding is 130 cm and is old). We were able to enjoy the region's beautiful, and make numerous visits. The freshness of the place is surprising in view of the temperatures prevailing in Lisbon, a few kilometers away. Arthur also has a second home in Lisbon where we could also stay. Both places are very well placed and the movements are easy.

The villa is as it appears on the Web. It is ideal to relax and make your life. It is a quiet area. Even the night he won the final Portugal. It is also conveniently located for many visits architecture, history, nature or beach. The house has all the necessary utensils. The host is lovely and very helpful. It is available for any request. In our case it was very patient. A traffic jam delayed several hours and we hope to teach him the house. It did not interfere in our instance. We felt very welcome and had many detail of trust with us. A great experience that I would repeat.
