The barn is located on a quiet street, close to all amenities. Almocageme has a great feel, locals are friendly and the shops great - the local supermarket has a superb fruit and veg section. As a family of four the barn exceeded our expectations, the upstairs is surprisingly spacious and the central double height space downstairs gives a sense of light and drama. Guilerme and Ana were perfect hosts, communication was always clear and swift. They were both kind and thoughtful, when we got off the bus at Colares because my son flat travel sick, Guilherme came and picked us up and gave us a tour of the town and the amazing beach. When my daughter fell and cut her knee on the walk down to the beach Guilherme was passing and gave took her down to the First Aid point at the beach. Adraga beach is stunning, the Atlantic waves crash in and provide endless opportunities to body surf or simply duck under the waves as they crash over your head. The beach is patrolled by skilled and helpful life guards who keep careful watch as the waves can be strong and powerful. The walk over to Praia Grande is through pine forests and across a carpet of wild flowers and unusual plants. At the end you can view a set of dinosaur footprints disappearing up a vertical cliff face. Buses are good - we bought the 10 Euro card from Sintra and made multiple trips throughout the week. This is the best Airbnb we have used, great value and beautifully presented.
