We stayed at villa Linae for 3 weeks.
It is small bright house in the center of Colares. There are small cafes, restaurant, fish market, mini market nearby. Your neighbor is sweet old Portuguese lady. Town is very beautiful, you can get to the beach at 30 min. Owner allows staying with pets. It was very good option.
However there is few disadvantages of house.
At first it is cleanliness. Towels was grey and has spots. There are dirty stains everywhere on windows, doors and at the kitchen. Bathroom sink has blockage. A mildew at some places, and on the plates! House was very dump and chilly (we started in April) so we have to use radiator all the time.
You have your privet patio with dinner table. But I think that is not safe to eat in front black mildew on the walls. And you can have your own Silent Hill when your neighbor use his fireplace. All cover with black dust and ash.
Noise. I think it is very personal, but for me it was hard to sleep. In the bedroom you can hear reverberated sound of of road nearby.
Bed. Very tight for two people.
And there is no closed, only guard rail. It is not very comfortable for long stay.
Ants. It is everywhere(
