Photos and Description of the Colares vacation house rental Classic 3 BR 2 BA Portuguese Vacation Home sleeps 6 or 8 with 'apartamentinho'

This Portuguese vacation home is a long downhill walk to the beach for the hardy, and close to public transportation. The restored 300-year-old house is situated on a ridge with long views of the sea. Up to now, it has been an artist residency to over 40 artists, who at times have left pieces in tiled walls, iron works and mosaics, adding to the charm of this house. This quiet haven is about 18 miles west of Lisbon and its environs. The coast and many other points of interest are easily reached by local transportation. There is good parking inside the gates, limited DSL access. I Am Currently Booking From February 1, 2009.

HAC36673 Mountain View, California
Review Submitted: September 3, 2005 Date of Stay: September 2005
This comfortable and spacious house gives visitors a view of Portuguese village life (Almocageme, Penedo & Colares) which is as yet not destroyed by mass tourism. The lovely, secluded Praia Adraga, while popular with local people, has not been overrun. The casa is well situated for sight-seeing other than at Sintra, and destinations such as Mafra and Obidos are to be recommended. Rent a COMPACT car - streets are extremely narrow, steep and winding, and parking can be challenging. Staying here gives a very satisfying experience of this part of Portugal.

What a beautiful house. The five of us fell in love with it and wanted to take a number of the artefacts home! We spent Christmas 2003 here, had a great time at Lawrence's Hotel on Christmas Day and went to mass at Colares on Christmas Eve. Its a great base from which to explore Lisbon, Sintra and the coast. Well worth it.
