Holiday villa in Colares, Sintra, Praia Grande
The space
This large, traditional Portuguese holiday villa blends amongst the greenery and tranquility that surrounds it. Spacious enough to welcome the whole family, it holds 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms in the main house, as well as one bedroom and bathroom in the annex. This villa is designed to bring you the ultimate comfort: a fully equipped kitchen, a large dining room, a warm and cosy lounge with a library, TV and inviting fireplace, a games room with table tennis… It even holds a breakfast room that opens onto the garden, so you can wake up with a smile as you take in nature’s morning sweetness with your breakfast tea or coffee at hand.
The outdoors features an expansive garden with an immense 15-meter long pool, and changing rooms right by it for that extra touch of comfort. There is also a full-sized tennis court on the other side of the garden, so as to keep everyone happy!
“Holiday”, with a capital H, resonates throughout this rustic family property: peacefully nestled amongst nature’s incomparable beauty, ‘Family Dream’ invites you to switch your mind off from life’s daily worries and get your feet up on that deckchair! Relax, enjoy, but don’t forget to see what awaits you outside the villa’s grounds!
Colares is a sweet, typical Portuguese village, located between Azoia and the enchanting town of Sintra, reinvested in by artists, antique dealers, local markets, friendly cafes, it even has its own winery! In the last few years, a more “alternative” vibe has started emerging, where local markets with organic produces are held regularly, as well as permaculture workshops, equestrian events, yoga retreats, alternative healing centres, and many cultural visits all being available nearby!
The beautiful beaches of Praia das Maçãs and Praia Grande are just 3 minutes’ drive away, and the historical town of Sintra (declared by UNESCO as World Heritage) with all its palaces and gardens is less than 10 minutes’ drive away. The picturesque village of Azenhas do Mar, perched on top of the ocean, is just 5 minutes’ drive from the property and Cabo da Roca, the most Western point of the European continent, a 10-minute drive away. Surfer's paradise Ericeira is within 20 minutes reach by car.
Walking distance from the house, you will find the traditional tram (dating from the early 1900s), which runs every summer’s day between Sintra and Praia das Maças; definitely a fun experience to try out!
Cascais is about 20 minutes away, and the bustling capital, Lisbon, just over half an hour's drive away. Alternatively, if you want a more “local” journey, you can also hop onto the train at Sintra and arrive in the hub of Lisbon, “Rossio”, 30 minutes later!
