Ana is just amazing, really interesting to talk too and her place has a lot of charm! You really feel comfortable there. When I first booked, she immediately sent me info on what to visit in Colares and Sintra. If you have any questions, she is very quick to respond. The first evening I was there, she brought me to a really nice organic food coop where you can buy amazing products. I was traveling in Scotland for a while and was quite tired, Ana took the time to show me around nice places and we hang out on the beach enjoying the sun. I really appreciated that. Eventhough, Portugal can be a bit chilly in November her place has a fireplace and heating in the room. So its quite cosy and warm! For the bathroom, yes you need to step outside but she provides a bathrobe and crocs, so its actually enjoyable because you see the mountain in the morning;) its an old house but has lots of charm and the place is clean. I highly recommend Ana's place. Enjoy!
