Colares has mild winters, an ideal summer temperature which never gets too hot, the autumn is ideal too, is like a second spring.

Praia das Maças “Apples Beach”
The beach is about 250m wide, surrounded by coffee shops, restaurants, in this village there’s a daily market place for fruit and vegetables, also a fish market

Outstanding!

We have stayed at many rental properties over the years and this house stands out as one of the very best. Mafalda met us on arrival, showed us around and I was immediately impressed by the quality of everything in the house. I really cannot fault it and if I returned to the area I would not hesitate to stay again.

Great place for holidays around Sintra

Really clean and tidy casa with a lot of space, terrasses and a great and super clean pool. The kids loved it. Very modern house, equipped with everything we needed. Also the owner was really kind and friendly. The location was perfect for surfing at the Beach "Praia Grande", bouldering/climbing and sightseeing around Sintra and hiking on the near coast. Perfect holiday for us.

Lovely property for a large family group

Everything about this property was great for a large family group. Spotlessly clean, and plenty of room to spread out. It is in a very convenient location, with shops etc. in walking distance and many places of tourist interest a short drive away. There is good attention to housekeeping and pool maintenance. Mafalda, who runs the property was a joy to meet and her excellent English made communication very straightforward.

Wonderful stay, great villa and location

The villa and it's location suited us perfectly. The pool area is every bit as lovely as the photos and the interior of the villa was even better then we expected. Everything was spotlessly clean, communication with the host was extremely straight-forward and she was very welcoming and helpful. For anyone wanting to explore the Sintra national forest and it's attractions, the nearby Atlantic coast, or take a day trip into Lisbon, the location is ideal.

Really a beautiful place .. better than the pictures. We had a large 7-person van which was a bit too large for the area and property. If we'd had a normal sized vehicle it would have been absolutely perfect. Mafalda was very good.
