WE had an excellent experience for a week at the Yellow House in Colares. We had a very large party of over 18 at various times. The location of the house was brilliant for us, with plenty of places to go and see and the convenience of some very good shops and retail close by. The configuration of the house made it work for us as did the supportive role of the host (Paulo) and Elena the house keeper. The kitchens became very busy spaces throughout the week but the big winner was the al fresco space around the barbeque and pool. We had good contact with our host via email and any issues we had were quickly sorted by him. I'd certainly go back to The Yellow House. We think we got very good value for money. this house has plenty of character and it worked for us. The highlight of the week was a brilliant local dining experience where Paulo organised for a local chef to come and demonstrate and prepare some local specialities for a four course meal for 27 people. it was a winner. Thank you to all at the Yellow House.
