We had a wonderful at Sofia's lovely home. It was comfortable, clean, spacious and with the added extra of unique interior design. Colares was exactly what we wanted - near enough to Lisbon, close to Sintra and moments to the ocean (walkable too). It is a charming town and very relaxed.
The house is exceedingly spacious and the pool is fabulous, as is the outside space. Great local places to eat and drink within minutes walk (try Restaurant Central and the Hop Sin Brewpub) but really good transport links too (plus the cute tourist tram!). Colares is charming and relaxed. Supermarkets are minutes walk away.
Really it was ideal for us- myself, husband, 2 bots (15 & 10) and my mother in law (bedroom & bathroom on ground floor). Sofia was an excellent host - good communication and on hand next door, helpful without being in any was obtrusive.
