The pictures does not lie! Close to historical places in Sintra 20 (min in car). The neighborhood is fantastic, walking distance to several restaurants with great sea views and really good fish and meat dishes. Really close to a fresh food market with fish, vegetables and fresh fruit. Nice hiking area close to roaring beaches. Since we decided to rent this villa we got quick answers on our questions. Susana and Joao were kind and service minded hosts. Joao met us at the airport with his motor bike and escorted us to Villa Monte da Lua -Praia das Maçãs. He gave us an introduction to Colares area and of course to the Villa. I Hope we will return soon.
