This beautiful place was well above our expectations! It's a combination of original historic features with modern ones, integration of local materials like cork and marble, local Portuguese vintage furniture and some classics. Ricardo beautifly made the door handles himself from wood! The very big back garden of the house is full of wild vegetation that you can freely use for your salad or tea and it's so nice to drink your morning coffee there! Ricardo's good taste and attention to details, along with the house authentic atmosphere and surroundings, made our stay a special one. There were only the two of us who shared the space and surly a family would use it better. Colares is also a great spot if you are planing to visit Sintra or exploring the western coast. Truly recommended <3
