The Sun Clock House is a great place to stay for people looking get away to Colares for a week! We enjoyed walking into town, but I only recommend walking if you're in shape to hike as there are lots of hills (the views are spectacular) and we always got an Uber ride back (as we had groceries.) After a week worth of walking my feet did hurt a bit but that's my fault for not renting a car. I wouldn't have it any other way though!
The pros: Sentra is nearby and worth a trip to visit it's historic wonders and natural beauty. We traveled to the coast one day and the Uber ride was 7€, one way.
The house is cozy, the bed is wonderful (firm) and we felt very welcomed by José and his Son. They picked us up and dropped us off at the train station and made sure our stay way comfortable. We cooked a LOT and the kitchen is fully upgraded and stylish. Also, the air conditioning was very handy!
The cons: There is no microwave if you wish to reheat your food, there is a toaster oven. Theres no washer or dryer so longer than a week stay may be difficult for some travelers. During our stay there was construction in the house/apt below so it would have been nice to know and expect that. Hopefully it will be done soon. Also, the wifi in the evenings was not very strong.
