The village of Colares is absolutely delightful and has long been a very popular summer resort.
Colares is a wine region (DOC), the ramisco vines are some of the oldest in Portugal, known for its deep colour, full bodied red wines that are high in astringent tannins and can be tasted at the Adega Regional in a very beautiful building in the village.
The houses and imposing farms all around Colares affirm this wonderful relation with wine and its production.
Colares has mild winters, an ideal summer temperature which never gets too hot, the autumn is ideal too, is like a second spring.
One of the main attractions is the tramcar with a lovely journey that starts in Sintra (in Estefânia, next to the Sintra’s modern art museum), has a stop in Colares and ends in Maçãs Beach.

Praia das Maças “Apples Beach”
The beach is about 250m wide, surrounded by coffee shops, restaurants, in this village there’s a daily market place for fruit and vegetables, also a fish market
Next to the beach there is a swimming pool with ocean’s water, a children’s park and space for picnics.
The beach has also good facilities for sport fishing, on both sides of the sandy area.
Another closest village is Almoçageme at 4km; here you find a rustic village with all of the typical narrowed streets, here you find coffee shops restaurants and food stores. Every Thursday morning there’s a farmer’s market, Saturday and Sunday all day.
The village is spread up the hill from the Atlantic Ocean. Adraga beach, was ranked as one of the 20 perfect European beaches’ by the Sunday Times.

Outstanding!

We have stayed at many rental properties over the years and this house stands out as one of the very best. Mafalda met us on arrival, showed us around and I was immediately impressed by the quality of everything in the house. I really cannot fault it and if I returned to the area I would not hesitate to stay again.

Great place for holidays around Sintra

Really clean and tidy casa with a lot of space, terrasses and a great and super clean pool. The kids loved it. Very modern house, equipped with everything we needed. Also the owner was really kind and friendly. The location was perfect for surfing at the Beach "Praia Grande", bouldering/climbing and sightseeing around Sintra and hiking on the near coast. Perfect holiday for us.

Wonderful stay, great villa and location

The villa and it's location suited us perfectly. The pool area is every bit as lovely as the photos and the interior of the villa was even better then we expected. Everything was spotlessly clean, communication with the host was extremely straight-forward and she was very welcoming and helpful. For anyone wanting to explore the Sintra national forest and it's attractions, the nearby Atlantic coast, or take a day trip into Lisbon, the location is ideal.

Lovely property for a large family group

Everything about this property was great for a large family group. Spotlessly clean, and plenty of room to spread out. It is in a very convenient location, with shops etc. in walking distance and many places of tourist interest a short drive away. There is good attention to housekeeping and pool maintenance. Mafalda, who runs the property was a joy to meet and her excellent English made communication very straightforward.

This villa was fantastic. We stayed as a family of 8. One double bedroom with an ensuite (also contained a cot as requested), then there was a large family bathroom shared by the other three rooms -a double, a twin, and a room with bunk beds. Helpfully there was also a toilet and shower in a small building outside by the pool. The villa was exceptionally clean and maintained to a high standard. The pool was a fantastic size and with a good depth - one end over 6ft. We decided not to hire a car and instead used uber/bolt to get around which worked out cheaper for us. The area is also lovely to be near the hills and with close proximity to the sites of Sintra and the beach. (If you are visiting the Sintra parks plan your day carefully as the one way roads means it takes much longer to get there than get back).Approximately a 45-60min drive to Lisbon and less than 10 to the coast. Check in, check out was seamless and the host was always available via WhatsApp if needed. Thank you for a great stay!!

Really a beautiful place .. better than the pictures. We had a large 7-person van which was a bit too large for the area and property. If we'd had a normal sized vehicle it would have been absolutely perfect. Mafalda was very good.
