Great location in Colares! There is literally a great coffee shop and restaurant right next to the backyard and a great weekend flea market right across the way. The accommodation is the bottom of the house and is very spacious and the hosts were wonderful and had lovely dogs. There is also a beautiful flower garden. The kitchen is not well-set up for cooking, as the oven would not turn on when we were there and the only working coffee maker was a k-cup one. There was a washer AND a dryer which is nice because the Sintra area is so humid. Because of the humidity it is common (in our experience) for many places around Sintra to smell musty/mildewy and this was true of the Quinta...so if you are extra sensitive to mold you may be sneezing a lot (my daughter is/was). Be otherwise a lovely stay!
