This was a wonderful place, and the host, Noel, was helpful and gracious beyond the bounds of our expectation. The cottage is beautifully designed and appointed, clean and functional. We wish we'd stayed longer. We arrived by car, and it is likely that this property will appeal most to car travelers, it being a little way out of Sintra. We had a little trouble finding it, but all was well when we substituted Mucifal for Colares as the name of the town. But this is a gem. I'd have been content to just stay in all day!
