Ana is a wonderful host! She gave us delicious local restaurant recommendations. This apartment is great value considering the amazing view of Praia Grande and the sunsets from the spacious private balcony, plus two bedrooms/3 beds, a large TV with Netflix and a small but functional kitchen. The kitchen has a small fridge and not much counter space if you're using both hot plates but otherwise it is fully stocked and everything is of high quality. We appreciated the addition of a Brita water filter, blender and hand juicer. The area is quiet with shutters on the windows for extra darkness. The mattresses are firm but very comfortable and high quality linens and extra blankets are provided. Plenty of storage for clothing. The living room has a pellet stove for heat (not the fireplace as seen in the photos) and it heated the main room sufficiently. There are also extra blankets for cooler evenings if needed. Shower is lovely, spacious, good water pressure and lots of hot water. We really love this area of Colares and will definitely try to stay at Ana's place again.
