Self-Catering Accommodations in Colares

Wonderful peaceful and quiet. Very charming.

It was perfect! I stayed for a number of nights during autumn and will be returning the next time I visit near Lisbon or the center of Portugal. I was looking for somewhere in Colares specifically because I had been there several times before, and knew that it was a nice area that is close enough to Lisbon to be convenient when driving, but far enough to be quiet, more relaxed, and feel more like the country. Before arriving, the host and I shared contact details and kept in contact throughout the stay about things like logistics for check-in check-out, as well as recommendations for things to do in the area (restaurants, activities, sights, etc). The accommodations were perfect for me as a solo traveler, with a small kitchenette with a fridge, a table, sofa, bed with dressers, internet, and a bathroom with a sink/shower/towels. Also, you can make free use of the outdoors / yard in the property, which I took advantage of. There were other things as well (like the TV) that I didn't make use of. If it gets cold for you inside the house, there is also a space heater that works perfectly. The property is located a short walk (~10-15 minutes) from a lovely beach and town, Praia das Maças, where there are cafés and restaurants, and there are plenty of larger supermarkets located within a driving distance (there may be some located within walking distance but I did not look for them. I only bought groceries at Lidl in Terrugem, 15-20 minutes by car). For me, more important than the accommodations was the kindness and hospitality I received from the members of the family managing the property who were always warm and friendly, giving me recommendations on where to go and what to see, and happy to help me practice my Portuguese on a day-to-day basis!

Ana and Nuno were excellent hosts. The hosts were always available if we needed anything. Ana helped me get dinner reservations when I couldnt get through to the restaurant. The house was fantastic with a fantastic view. We really loved it there.

Everything was wonderful. Friendly, clean, quiet, greeted by a lovely pup, beautiful view, close to town and ocean. We are very grateful. We had a beautiful and magical time. Thank you SO much. 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Clean and spacious apartment just few kilometres away from Sintra.

Wasn't too far from some nice spots if you are driving a car.

Everything, it’s a big house and very comfortable.
