This place is a true gem! staying in their mountain top neighborhood and in town of Colares was a much-needed reprieve from the busyness of the cities we visited (Lisbon, Porto, Lagos). The driving up the mountain was an adventure in itself (honk if going down the hill!). Rita welcomed us and we met her sweet dog, as well as the neighborhood pups. She has a lovely notebook with tips for places to eat and visit (in English and Portuguese) and we walked down the hill to Adega Vedia (opens at 7:30pm) which was one of our best meals in Portugal! The apartment is comfortable and very clean. There is a heater which was wonderful as we were there in December and most places so not have central heating. The tub is a dream. The view is breathtaking. We wish we could have stayed a month. Already recommended to friends visiting there in a few months!
