Staying in Rita’s home was just the break we needed.
We had an incredible week exploring the area surrounding Colares and appointing ourselves with the local shops, sights and some of the best beaches Portugal has to offer.
The house itself is comfortable, super quiet and in a well connected (by tram/bus) area of rural Portugal. The swimming pool is excellent (and has a cover, to keep kids safe) and the house is well maintained and efficiently fitted out.
The area surrounding the house had some gems. We loved the pizza at soul dough and craft beer at hop sin, both less than 20mins walk away. And the beach side tostas available at the wooden cafe at praia de macas were exceptional and very kid friendly.
We loved our holiday and can’t wait to visit Portugal (and hopefully to stay at Rita’s) again!
