This is a large, spacious house well suited for a family or for a group of friends. A really private and quiet place.The interior is lovely and the kitchen is equipped for cooking for many persons. The garden is huge, there is a lovely pool we used every day. Our teenagers played football and there is a table for ping-pong, which was in almost continual use. The gorgeous beach Praia da Maca is only a 15 min walk away, and there is a supermarked in Colares, a 3 minute drive with the car. I absolutely recommend to bring a car! There endless possibilties for excursions nearby, here are some of the things we did: sightseeing at the castles of Sintra, rock climbing in Sintra, swimming and eating out in Cascais, visiting Lisbon Zoo and the aquarium, shopping at Colombo shopping center, excursion to Cabo da Roca and Praia da Ursa, walking on the beaches and cliffs nearby. The beaches in this area are spectacular! Mr. Uva, the proprietor, is very friendly and helpful and always answers the phone or messages immediately. I can really recommend vacation in those beautiful surroundings!
