Nestled in the peaceful mountainside of Colares, this rustic villa has had a modern renovation for a wonderful family getaway. Close to nearby shops and restaurants while set in miles of trees for total relaxation, this stylish home is the perfect base to explore the west coast of Portugal. You’ll find the nearest beach 2 kilometres away while we recommend hiring a car to explore the area further – the enchanting town of Sintra is picture-worthy while Cascais is great for a more cosmopolitan feel. Golf lovers will appreciate the number of courses nearby (six to be exact) offering panoramic views over the Sintra mountain range and renowned to be some of the best golf courses in Portugal.
