A cute cottage in Simones lovely yard, we never had time to enjoy the beautiful pool though. Simone and her family were so sweet and polite, she took our clothes off the line when they were dry and neatly folded them for us (it had started to get misty and dewy and we were out and about). Her husband gave us a recommendation for an amazing seafood restaurant close by.

Accurate, welcoming, ready to meet every demand! The apartment is convenient to visit Sintra and the North West Lisbon countries! One fault is the lack of knowledge of English by the owners ... which makes communication difficult.

Simone was great as we booked really last minute. Beautiful little place literally 2 minutes drive from the beach.

Our stay with Simone and her family was so very special! The accommodation is in a beautiful, peaceful neighbourhood. Our house was pleasantly cool during the day and comfortably warm at night, with everything you'd need for your holiday inside. The little house, the garden and the pool are gorgeous but what really made our holiday memorable was the hospitality of Simone and her family. They welcomed us like old friends or family members, spent time with us, we shared a lovely dinner with Simones husband and an amazing barbecue night with the whole family and some of their friends! All in all, our days in Colares could not have been better. Yes, they don't speak english (but portuguese and french!), but it really didn't matter at all. Their kindness and generosity doesn't need words to communicate with. Thank you so much, Simone, and I really do hope we will meet again one day :) Beijinhos from Vienna from Suhrud, Grande Ben and Stella <3

Hote accueillante, réponse rapide aux questions, arrangeante sur les horaires

Un sitio perfecto para conocer esa parte d Portugal q es preciosa!!!Ideal para familias con niños y mascotas!!!Todo OK!!!

Pendant notre séjour nous avons aimé la tranquillité du lieu ,la beauté du paysage quand on se lève le matin face à la montagne de Sintra,la proximité du village et enfin la disponibilité et la gentillesse de Simone...

Gostámos muito dos dias que passámos no Anexo do Índio. A Simone e toda a família foram muito simpáticos e disponíveis. O espaço é muito agradável e a piscina muito bem cuidada. Obrigada Simone e até uma próxima!

Colares house is a Wonderful place close to Sintra & Cascais. Great space and house. Needs a few things to make it stand out as the perfect rental. Ines was a great communicator and helpful in any questions we had. Its in a quite neighborhood close enough to Lisbon, great for large groups that want space and privacy.

Perfect host, perfect house, perfect weather!!!! All ingredients to spend a marvelous we!!!!! The house is big, with many bathroom, all very clean with a beautiful garden and of course the cherry on the cake : the swimming pool! 2 big beaches are near by! Supermarket too! If you have car, your life will be so easy in colares! Thank Inés for your disponibility, we enjoy it!

Ines house is a nice and comfortable place and it looks exactly as in the pictures. The house is clean and suits well for both children and adults and it's very well equipped and you will found anything which make a holiday pleasant. The garden is nice with a lots of space for everyone. The house i located in a peaceful area and pretty close to several really nice beaches and with car you can easily visit different places in the neiborhood. I can highly recommend this place for anyone who wants a nice holiday with close to a lots of beautiful places to explore. Thanh you Ines! /Kristina

Superbe maison très bien située, a 10min a pied de la première plage et près de nombreux lieux touristiques. La maison est très agréable et fonctionnelle.

A casa é super confortável, bem decorada e localizada. Óptimos espaços interior e exterior. Recomendo a todos os niveis.

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.

The house perfectly matches the announcement. It is located in a quiet and very pleasant area. Miguel was very attentive and gave us advice on what to see. Very pleasant stay, I recommend!

This house and our stay could not have been more perfect. The pictures do not do it justice. It is beautifully decorated, with everything you would need for a holiday. The beds were comfortable, the shower was excellent, the rooms were perfectly set out, cool on the hot days and the pool was fantastic! The neighbourhood is quiet which is just what we wanted. A very quick trip to Colares and you have a supermarket and superb restaurants. A trip to Mucifal is also recommended. We bought fish there in a fishmongers one day and grilled on the barbeque in the garden. The patio is a gorgeous place to eat, shady and peaceful. It is within a 40 minute trip to LIsbon and Caiscais, both well worth a visit. The tram from Sintra is a lovely experience too. We will miss our time in Colares and hope to return soon.

This is a really nice house in a quiet spot. The bedrooms offer sleeping space for 6 people comfortably. There are double bedrooms upstairs and downstairs, plus 2 more single beds on the upstairs landing. The upstairs shower room is quite small for adults, but the downstairs bathroom compensates. The garden is really lovely with an outside dining space and barbecue. The small pool is great for cooling off. The nearest supermarket in the village of Colares is a 15 minute walk and had everything we needed. Larger supermarkets can be reached by car in Sintra. The electrico tram is great fun to ride to Sintra too (traffic seemed to be permanently jammed there!) Miguel was a very attentive host and kept in touch via (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN). We had a great week in Miguel's place and definitely recommend it.

Very nice and quiet place. Miguel was very helpful and easy to keep in touch with (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN). Very clean house and lovely swimming pool. Easy to go to beaches by a car or a bus. Highly recomended!

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.

Miguel est un hôte très attentionné; il aime sa maison et aime la partager. Sa maison a beaucoup de charme et est très agréable. On s'y sent comme chez soi. La maison est vraiment un havre de paix. Elle est située dans un quartier très calme. De là, des sites comme Sintra, Cascais ou les plages sont rapidement accessibles.

Maison à recommander sans hésitation, Miguel (le propriétaire) parle français et est très disponible pour vous aider à passer un superbe séjour, la maison est parfaite, bien placée, très bien équipée, dans un endroit calme (au fond d'une impasse) et avec une piscine sans vis-à-vis. Climatisation réversible aux 2 étages. Miguel vous met à disposition un lit parapluie pour bébé sur demande. Bien préparer l'itinéraire pour atteindre la maison (ancienne et nouvelle adresse) et la procédure pour récupérer les clés (coffre avec code) et ouvrir les portes (clés extensibles) car c'est un peu particulier. Sinon rien à redire.

The location of the house is fantastic, in a quiet location between Sintra and several beaches. Mariana is very nice and willing, communicative, is aware of your needs.

Mariana is a great host; her attention during has been very positive and highly recommended. Interesting location to visit good places in Portugal.

Très bel appartement très bien placé. Équipement de base pour passer quelques jours entre la mer et Lisbonne.

Uma casa espetacular, muito agradável, num local ideal com tudo o que precisa ao pé, muito bem acolhidas e um valor ótimo! Gostei muito da ocupação da casa, tinha tudo o que precisávamos e muito bem feita. Para o ano voltamos! Muito obrigada Madalena

What a fantastic place to stay! The photos do not do it justice. The country side is beautiful, and it's easy to find ubers or transit to see the sights and the beach. Highly recommend it!

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.

The house is very big, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. If you are travelling by car, you can go to the nearby supermarket for food. If you don't have a car, it will be a little difficult to go out for dinner or even surfing. You can enjoy the small swimming pool in the garden. It was very clean and ready to use. The garden is huge. Children would love it. Enjoy having meals in the patio where there is a big table.

This villa was amazing! It can fit up to 9 people comfortably! The house and the grounds are well maintained and beautiful! We enjoyed the property and how clean it was! It has wonderful a pool and outdoor area. I would highly recommend this villa! You can't go wrong!

Très belle maison vaste et pratique à vivre avec des adolescents ( billard piscine jardin). Proche de lisbonne sintra et Cascais. Commerce à 10 mn à pied.

Helena is very very helpful and friendly host. During our 4 nights of stay at her place we had most wonderful relaxing cozy airbnb experience. The organic farm-market next door offers amazingly fresh veggies and fruits!

Very quiet room and 100% recommended. Very clean, complete with a good breakfast and the owner very friendly and helpful.

Very nice and clean little room with two single beds, wifi, and a lovely outdoor area. Also now with a small refrigerator! Convenient location very close to Praia das Maçãs and Praia Grande. Helena was a lovely host who provided fruits, small snacks, bottled water and even wine on our arrival. Definitely recommended to anyone looking for a lovely little place without spending much money.

Very cozy place made with love. More than worth the money in my opinion.

Nice room with a seperate bathroom. Very very nice hosts that can tell you some cool details about the region! We would come back anytime.

The place was perfect ! We really enjoy staying at their house ! Helena and his family were very welcoming ! We wppreciated the calm of their house and the fruits, coffe, etc! ;) ! It was very appreciated ! I recommand this place if you go to sintra ! Beautiful place !

I loved staying at Helena's place! The room was really cozy and clean, only 15-20 mins walk to Praia Das Maças! She and her husband were really nice, they also helped me, driving me from Sintra station to the beach! I slept there only one night but I'm sure I'm going to return and their home if I'll want to stay in Colares again!

Helena foi muito simpatica na nossa chegada. O quarto é muito bonito, com um espaço privado de jardim para os visitantes. Aconselhamos vivamente! Obrigado Helena :)

Lovely house, garden, furniture and space.Fabulous area, beaches, cafes etc nearby. The house and garden were good for children with plenty of shade and space to play. Jorge kindly provided a cot and highchair. Sadly for us the pool had green algae for a few days, which Jorge attended to promptly but we felt with a toddler it was unsafe to use for a time.

Unforgettable vacation

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

Susana welcomed us very well. The house is very nice and modern in the image of the room. The bathroom is large and comfortable, with a large bathtub to take a bath. The bed is huge, with the ability to adjust its height with a remote control depending on your position. Susana speaks very good French, it was nice to be able to discuss together to exchange about the sites to visit in the area. We also loved being able to cuddle the animals in the house and who are adorable. We would have loved to stay longer than two days.

My cousin and I stayed here two nights. The house is lovely, modern and large, clean and comfortable. The bed is huge and comfortable with remote control. There is a clean, modern ensuite with a spa bath. Susana is a warm, welcoming host with a lovely family and very cute pets.

All very much. Great location, nice house, with modern equipment, and lovely hostess Susana, who helped with valuable tips. I recommend!

Susana is such a nice and helpful host, her house is beautiful and we felt welcome right from the start! The room is spacious, cozy, and equipped with everything one could possibly need. We would have loved to stay longer!

The place was simply beautiful, We loved everything about it, great for some time away from the city and for some relaxing time. Susana was fantastic, I highly recommend the place. Thanks Susana for being such an amazing host and for having us in your stunning house.

Susanna is a perfect host, the home is close to some beaches, restaurants and tourist sites.

Susana is a great hostess and loving person, we immediately felt safe! The property is as described and as the photos show. She gave us great tips. In the vicinity there are great restaurants and the proximity to Sintra is also good. The breakfast was very good. Anytime again!

Thank you so much for your welcome. Very nice place, We are sure to visit U again Béatrice & Fréd

Clean and modern shared house. Great area for sightseeing and/or hanging out at the beach. There is no door to the room we had but it is separated from the rest of the house by a stairway, so that didn't bother us. We had our own balcony, which was super nice and there also is a little garden with a pool and a shed where u can do your laundry. All in all, lovely place to stay at.

Best BnB i've stayed at. i got a gift upon arrival and if you say my name ( Kevin ) you also get a free meal when you arrive :) heartwarming, loving family and you just get happy the moment you enter the house. they have a pool and if you don't fancy that it is very close to the beach with plenty of restaurants nearby. loved it, and if i'm going back to portugal this is where i'll going! Thanks for everything Nunu, Susana & Joana. xoxo

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!

Amazing house with everything you need and much more. Perfect location and very clean house. Ana and Nuno know what hospitality is! One of the best rented accommodation ever!

We had a wonderful stay at Quinta dos 7 nomes. The van is small but the bed is big and good and there was enough space for us and our 7 month old son. The van is placed in the middle of the beautiful organic garden with view to the mountains! We stayed for 5 days and could have stayed longer! We can definitely recommend this place.

Going away from the eco camping we understand the true meaning of "Saudagi ...". The energy of the place and the people is really great. The van is minimal, but really clean and welcoming. As far as the area is well served by buses, we recommend that you have a means to move into the wonderful natural park so that you can enjoy it completely. Thank you Isabel, Yohanny, Pedro ... And to all the volunteers who welcomed us and made us feel part of something great. I hope to see you soon.

Lovely, funky place with plenty of nature, gardens and privacy for those that love alternative life,

Lovely experience. Small but well equipped trailer by a lake. Really good location. Lovely cute eco farm. Everyone who lived/worked there were really caring and helpful! Thank you all :) x

Quiet space with a different style.

I have just returned from the most wonderful stay with my family at A barca Charm House. Very sad to have left and would return in an instant. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday near Lisbon or Sintra. The house is absolutely perfect - private, yet not too far from beaches (3 minute drive), good fish restaurants and only a short taxi ride to beautiful Sintra (15 euros). Would recommend hiring a car, purely because there is so much to do in the area. Sandra and Eduardo were the most wonderful and thoughtful hosts - on arrival we were met with a very warm Portuguese welcome, delicious food and sparkling Sangria. We instantly felt at home. The couple were always on hand if we needed any advice and had even sourced an english speaking taxi company for us. There's real attention to detail in this house - the home is newly and beautifully decorated. Very comfortable, spacious and with everything you would want when away from home. We were a party of 8, but you could easily fit more people comfortably. 4 good showers too. The wifi connection is also very good! My two nephews stayed (ages 3 and 5) - the home is perfect for children. Lots of toys to play with, a great pool complete with safety gate, a sand box, bikes, table tennis, swing ball... You name it, it's there to occupy your little ones. You can tell this home has been created with real love and the couple just want you to have the best holiday you can. Lots of happy memories made here! Would highly recommend.

My wife and I stayed here with 6 friends as we were in Sintra for a friends wedding. The villa was absolutely amazing. Sandra and Eduardo were fantastic hosts and were there for anything we needed. We were greeted with a lovely Portuguese spread for our first days lunch which we didn't expect. Sandra also helped by booking us a mini bus taxi to go to the wedding and back and by organising a hair dresser for all the ladies in the morning. We all loved our stay and had a great tim

Gaby is a charming very comely lady. Arriving home, we found the fridge and the cupboard filled with some food, and it made us very happy. She was always attentive to our needs. Apart from the problem to heat her home and to have a good flow of hot water (hard hard in winter, even with the fireplace), his house is pleasant especially as it has a beautiful terrace overlooks the castle of Penna. Very beautiful view.

We've had a wonderful stay at Gaby's apartement! It's located near some small shops like a grocery and a bakery in a small and quiet, but lovely town. We stayed for 10 days, had a rental car and it was the ideal place to stay. Close to the beach, close to Sintra & Cascais, close to Lisboa,... The apartement is very spacious, has a nice kitchen with everything you need to cook you own meals, two bathrooms a nice livingroom and a lovely terras with lots of sunshine during the day! We loved being there! And then there is Gaby! A lovely host who is very helpful and kind. She gave us some nice tips, ex. to find the best icecream in Portugal! :-) Gaby is the best! So, we had a great vacation and would recommend her apartement to everyone!

Gaby was great, she made both of us feel like we were family and come into town for a stay. She gave us a great tour of the listing and provided a very complete information board for the space. She even had some wine and water in the fridge. The views from the space were incredible, especially of Pena Palace. This listing is so close to all kinds of attractions and sites to see, we only wish we would have stayed there longer to see them all.

Gaby is the perfect hostess, did everything possible so that we were comfortable and satisfied, the apartment has everything you need to enjoy it, with a terrace from which you can see the sunrise behind the Palacio da Pena. Mucifal is ideally located to access all the palaces in the area and, at par, to the nearest beaches, without being in a very touristy area, so enjoy tranquility.

I really enjoyed to stay at Gaby's house. Gaby is always available to help with anything... And also a very cool person! the house is as described and close to very nice beaches. Hope to come soon.

Gaby is an wonderful host and she is ready when needed. The appartement is authentic and cozy and all provided. With a great balcony of beautiful flowers and great views. Machteld & Nico

We had a truly lovely stay at Gaby's! The terrace is awesome and really spacious and Gaby made sure that everything we needed was at our disposal. She even provided us with fresh herbs, tomatoes, fruit and fresh bread rolls upon our arrival. The kitchen is more than well equipped; there was coffee, milk, wine... At the day of our departure she offered a real late check-out (we might have stayed as long as we wished) as she didn't have new guests arriving that day. We will definitely come back - thank you very much, Gaby!!

Absolutely adorable place in a wonderfully location. The apartment itself is very cosy with plenty of old world charm. The terrace area is fantastic for morning coffee, evening sunsets or siesta time. Gaby is a wonderful host who provides all the necessary amenities and adds in a few bonus items. The real surprise for us was the location. Colares is perfectly situation between Sintra and the beaches of Praia das Macas and Praia Grande. You're a mere 20 minutes from each by the historic tram (3 Euros) and probably a bit quicker by bike depending on how many glasses of wine you've consumed watching the sunset from the bars in Praia Grande! The town itself has a surprisingly good supermarket, and 2 minutes away from Gaby's place you'll find a butcher, fruit/veg store, fishmonger, and cheese/wine shop owned by a great guy who speaks English well. Great experience. Highly recommended.

Despite our late arrival, Mom Noel waiting for us. always available, always answered all our questions heartwarming welcome

We had a wonderful stay at Noel's Casa de Madeira. The location was perfect for exploring the magical area outside of Lisbon, as well as Lisbon itself. Noel was very helpful and even offered us the use of a crib, which was greatly appreciated.

Noel and especially his mother were very caring hosts with good advice. The cottage is very clean and was suitable for us as a small family super. The road is quite busy. There is everything you need (Pastelarias, restaurant, grocery store, playground, baker ...), to the beach and to Sintra it is not far with the car.

Great esperience! We arrived at 9pm and Noelia (Noel's mom) wait us for check-in! Than during the days they council us many places to see!

Great place to discover Sintra, Cascais, Caba de Roca and hidden beaches around. Noel was wonderful host, helped with solving our troubles and was polite. Apartment itself has everything what might be needed for stay and travel. Maybe its not so suitable for people who likes to sleep till noon, as Casa de Madeira situated on one of the main city streets with cars starting to pass by at 8 or so. Highly recommended. Plan at least 3 full days! The places around worth it!

Noel provided us (3 friends) the best airbnb's experience in Portugal so far, he was keen to help us planning our road trip around Portugal and giving us the best advices to visit Sintra and its surroundings. The apartment is very nice and clean, highly recommended!

Noel was sick so his mother received us, she was very kind and helpful. The house was very clean and had everything that we need for our stay. Is a little far for the touristic places but you easily can go there in bus, and the bus stop is near the house. We really love our stay there!

Location of stay is perfect , acces to tram and bus around the corner. Views are very nice. Good value for money considering the space. Good for family, dogs noisy at night.

A truly wonderful, private villa in close proximity to the coast and 40 mins away from Lisbon.. Margarida is a fabulous host who can't do enough for you during your stay. Definetly recommend staying here, the villa is equipped with everything you need!
