Cute Airbnb in the Sintra/Colares countryside with beautiful views! Pedro + Luisa we’re super friendly + accommodating… Luisa even greeted me when I arrived + said bye to me in person before I left… this made me feel right at home!
To provide a bit more context + info about my trip/stay: I recently visited Lisbon for a friend’s wedding + stayed in this Airbnb (without a car). I mostly walked or used Bolt/Uber to get around. Note: Getting a Bolt from the property is more challenging because you’re so far from the city, + an Uber driver informed me that very few Bolt drivers come up this way because they don’t get as much info about the passengers or the trips… so it’s not worth their time. However, getting an Uber is a lot easier (I got one successfully at 6am for an early flight).
I loved that this property is within walking distance from cute areas + beaches (things aren’t super close; but you can walk to quite a bit in 15-30 minutes). There’s even a tapas place like a 12 minute walk away… which I unfortunately didn’t get to try. But both Praia das Maçãs + Praia da Adraga are a 30 something minute walk away, which was great! Also, Café Moinho Verde is a cute cafe that is only an 18 minute walk away, which I highly recommend! Super friendly service with yummy food + coffee.
All in all, I enjoyed staying here + would recommend. A few additional things to note: This property is in the countryside, + if you’re walking, it’s hilly + can get very dark at night. Also, yes there is usually some noise from dogs + parties at night… but nothing major, + I still slept fine. There is no AC… but it gets a lot colder at night, so this wasn’t a huge issue for me. Lastly, yes, there are bugs (which can become an issue even at night…so bring bug repellant)!
