About this property
A typical Portuguese villa, but luxurious and of high quality
For those looking for a private villa, completely secluded from the hustle and bustle of town and yet just a minute’s drive from the quaint, artistic village of Colares, this is the place to be! This elegant Portuguese home is tastefully decorated with unique pieces from around the world. The modern kitchen is fully equipped, the bathrooms feature top-quality fixtures, and cable TV, internet access, and pool and garden maintenance are all included.
The main house features a total of 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a separate half-bath, as well as an additional double bedroom and bathroom in the annexe by the pool. It also features a living room with a dining area and a second, charming indoor/outdoor living-dining room that can be either closed off or fully opened up, as well as a seamless transition to the garden itself—ideal for al fresco meals on summer days and evenings.
The immaculate and well-maintained garden offers a sense of inner peace and serenity. It even has its own “life-size dollhouse” for your little ones to play in!
The 5-by-11-meter pool is tastefully designed, and you can also sit under the pergola next to it, cool off on one of the cosy sofas in the pool room, read, draw, relax, or play one of the various games available.
Colares is a charming, typical Portuguese village, located between Azoia and the enchanting town of Sintra, revitalised by artists, antique dealers, local markets, and friendly cafes—and it even has its very own winery!
The beautiful beaches of Praia das Maçãs, Praia Grande, and Adraga are just a 3-minute drive away, and the historic town of Sintra (designated an UNESCO World Heritage Site) with all its palaces and gardens is less than a 10-minute drive away. The picturesque village of Azenhas do Mar, perched high above the ocean, is just a 5-minute drive from the property, and Cabo da Roca—the westernmost point of the European continent—is a 10-minute drive away. Ericeira, a surfer’s paradise, is within a 20-minute drive.
Cascais is about 20 minutes away, and the bustling capital of Lisbon is just over a half-hour drive. Alternatively, if you’d like a more “local” experience, you can hop on the train in Sintra and arrive at Lisbon’s central hub, “Rossio,” 30 minutes later!

Wonderful house, especially the semi enclosed sitting and dining areas. Pool was sun warmed and lovely. Location was close to shops, restaurants and bars as well as only a short distance from Sintra. Some cloudy starts to the days and cooler evenings which suited us.
