We stayed here for 2 weeks. The Airbnb is in a small town (where majority of people don’t speak English) in Colares up several steep hills but allows you to have an amazing view of a vegetable/fruit garden, mountains and forests. The Airbnb was nice - had the majority of the applications listed (we did find that it doesn’t match the description completely but if staying for a short amount of time it’ll be fine), lovely view and a nice bed. The location is extremely close to the Sintra palaces and a 30-40 min walk to the beaches (not beachfront) but there is limited transport available from the road side so Bolt taxis were used. There are local stores (close early) and restaurants (which are reasonably priced) near by. We didn’t have much contact with the host - only in our second week and it was more as we were passing by or when we messaged him (fast reply time).
