From the minute we met Pedro, we felt so welcomed by himself and his family in this wonderful, quintessentially Portugal AirBnB. The unit we stayed in was just the right size; equipped with a smartTV, a comfy bed, a closet, couch, small dining table for 2, bathroom, & a well-stocked kitchen! And outside, you can expect a beautiful space with a huge garden growing many delicious edible spices, fruits, and greens to throw into your meals and cook on your little stove - or on their outdoor BBQ! You’ll love hanging out with their chickens, peacocks, and the one-and-only Emma the Emu (who makes an amazing rumbling bass noise from her stomach to greet you!). The pool area is well-maintained and a perfect spot to do some exercise or go for a dip. And the area … unbelievable!!! We tried every restaurant Colares has to offer, and they’re all so good; from all-you-can eat meat to 360 views on top of a windmill to sausages being lit on fire on front of us - you’ll have tons of fun sticking around town to eat. With a rental car, it’s so convenient to get to everything from nearby Sintra to 45-min drive Lisbon, and the coolest part of the AirBnB is all the neighboring beaches are only a short walk away! I can’t express enough how much Pedro was there for us to help if we needed anything at all, and how him and his family made the trip so much more special than if we had stayed in a boring old hotel!! 5 stars all the way for this experience of a lifetime :)
