Family-friendly holiday rentals in Colares

Rita's place was the nicest Airbnb I have ever stayed in. We stayed with 8 adults & it was very comfortable for all. This place has everything you could need for your stay including a full kitchen with all equipment, several spacious double bedrooms with extremely comfortable beds, air conditioning in each room, there was a beautiful back garden area with a swimming pool, sun loungers and a long table for meals outside. We spent a lot of time enjoying the outdoor space. There was also a fantastic barbeque outside which we made use of and made lovely group dinners. The games room downstairs was an amazing touch and we had such fun using it. The location here was brilliant, it was about a 7 minute walk to the supermarket and lots of restaurants and the beach. Everything you need closeby! We would highly recommend booking this place in Ericeira if you are planning a trip there. Communication with the host was perfect, we will be back! Thank you for everything Rita & Didi!

We had a wonderful short stay at Vladimir's place. The location is excellent, overlooking the ocean. You can take a nice walk towards a viewing spot or take just 3 minutes by car to get to the beach. It's a great place to stay for a family who wants to enjoy warm and sunny days in Ericeira. And do plan to visit Mafra to tour the National Mafra Palace, a fantastic place to visit. A house is well equipped, well planned, and taken care of. Highly recommend.

Miguel was very friendly and flexible with the check in and check out time. The apartment is large with a great view! We had a lovely stay.

Fantastic location in old Sintra! Well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. We loved people watching from the balcony doors down to the main square. We walked to Peña, Moorish Castle & Quinta de Regaleira. We were there just before Easter (low season) and found parking on road as advised by host. Used the drop off/pick up space nearby for unloading.

Great place to stay, beautiful surroundings, close to restaurants and beach. Easy drive from Lisbon. Definitely looking forward to coming back.

We had a really great stay at Ana and Jorge's place. Jorge gave us a friendly welcome and showed us everything. We got a small and delicious basic equipment for the kitchen and felt at home immediately. Ana has always sent us helpful tips. They have provided everything you need for our little daughter. When we're back in Lisbon, definitely here!

Wonderful home that matches the host. Stunning from inside to out and very well maintained. The children (and adults) were very entertained with the arcade room and others. Great bbq which I recommend using as not many restaurants for large groups (unless you drive a bit) the kitchen was excellent, not only was it fully equipped, but the equipment was all in very good order to use. Good size grounds where the kids could burn energy and it’s helped to have such large car space at the front as we had 3 vehicles. As we went in December with the cooler weather the pool didn’t quite heat up enough to use (although the daring kids braved the chill and went in a couple of times). Also due to the cooler months it was difficult to get longer periods of hot water so we had to be mindful of when taking showers etc. Overall this is a 5* property and host and couldn’t recommend enough!

Amazing property and very helpful host

Pedro's flat was clean, large and exactly like pictures and description. Fast internet...at least 200Mbs d/u speed and direct access to router if one needs to plug directly via ethernet. The location in Alfama is very central and is on main road with the 28 trolley running directly in front of the building. The noise from street and trolley is minimal. For those who don't know Lisbon, the city in extremely hilly and Alfama even more, so be aware that you will be walking uphill or up stairs very often if you choose this neighborhood. There is another vacation rental upstairs from the flat and depending on how those guests may walk, there could be noise as it is an older building with wood floors. We were aware of small shower...which is accurate...but the volume/pressure of water and very hot temperatures made the shower better than most. Overall, Pedro's flat is great choice and met all expectations.

Annemie is a wonderful and generous host who couldn’t have been more helpful and attentive. The house is in an amazing location, up in the hills with beautiful views and bird song. Pool wonderful and kitchen well equipped. We had a great few days. Thank you 🙏🏼

Great family apartment with everything you need for a longer stay. There are heaters in every room, so the apartment can be heated during colder months. CD collection, TV and toys are excellent for rainy days. Great choice of local and international cafes and restaurants nearby, plus grocery stores and a playground. Nearby bus stops and metro stations give you options to go anywhere. Friendly host to help with everything.

Staying at Juan’s place was perfect in many ways. Juan made us feel very welcome and his place is charming. I can’t imagine a better location - next to the castle in old town; it was a convenient spot for shopping, day treks around the city, and transportation from the airport and to Porto. (Thanks so much, Juan)!

We had a great stay here, it was perfect for our family vacation. The house is beautiful and very well taken care of, with spacious bedrooms, a large family room and well-equipped kitchen. The garden and pool were also lovely - private and quiet and a great place to hang out. The beach and train station were both a short walk, and Estoril is well-situated for trips to Lisbon and Cascais or to explore towns along the coast. Catarina was a fantastic host and Dona Gilda helped with anything we needed during the stay.

Fantastic Villa with beautiful scenery with easy taxi access to the city of Lisbon. Fantastic just who looked after us all

Great place in the back of all the buildings so we had views of grass, trees and other surroundings. Easy to find parking and even a garage wad offered, but we didn't need to use it. Maria was very friendly and described everything perfectly. It's basically an apartment building so you could hear other guests, but it wasn't too distracting or annoying.

Sofia was a very proactive and friendly host. All key information were promptly provided days prior to check-in. Easy self-access with the instructions provided. Rooms were ready and property was clean by the time we arrived. It is a 10-20 minutes commute to certain shops at late hours, however, the privacy is worth its keep. There is supermarket super close by, for us was unfortunate due to the time we would arrive everyday at the property meant they were always closed, but those seeking a holiday, that would be no issue. Lovely spacious living room with doors that you see straight out to the swimming pool. As we were there mainly for business purposes, we did not manage to have usage of certain available amenities - but worth to those coming in for a holiday. Sofia was also always efficient in responding, regardless of time (unethical on my part to message pas midnight) nonetheless, she would respond right away. Beautiful home and an amazing host.

Impeccable exterior for this kind of rental, sun, swimming pool, terrace, fireplace-barbecue, house "like at home" with everything you need to live there, well equipped with household electronics, quiet despite the "Portuguese" dogs who often bark at night but almost not in our case, quiet in the neighborhood, the market 100m from the house and supermarkets that are not very far either, my favorite beach (Princesa) 5 minutes by car.

We had such a wonderful stay at this unit. The view had incredible sunsets, was perfect for a family of 4. Sofia was the best host. So attentive, friendly and helpful. A storm blew out our internet for a week but Sofia jumped in and ran her own cable from another unit to ensure we did not go more than a day while the local utility service was backed up. We loved the beds, easy parking, great kitchen and layout. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Sofia and Aksel!

Renata is a wonderful host, she is friendly and goes out of her way to make you feel at home. Highly Recommended.

Maria and Cesar are excellent hosts. The accommodation is in a lovely and private setting with everything you could need provided. They were both extremely helpful, especially when we had a minor problem with our hire car, but not at all intrusive. We loved our stay.

Was a very nice place to stay and ideal for two families

The place was very quiet, with a nice garden area. We didn’t even feel that the owner’s family was living upstairs, since we didn’t hear any noise at all. We had all the amenities needed, and slept very well in comfy beds. The fact that we were allowed to use the parking inside the house was very handy. The communication with Angelina was very easy and she responded promptly to our questions. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a nice quiet neighborhood, with easy access to Lisbon and Cascais/Sintra areas.

We had a great, restful time at Lurdes despite rainy weather. We were very warmly welcomed and provided with great sightseeing and restaurant tips. Elisabeth was always available for us and very quick to respond. The ocean view from the deck is amazing! The nearby beach (we would recommend a car) has great bars and clear water. The house is clean and as pictured. Thank You!

Large and lovely house that has everything you need! And Carla makes a lot of great recommendations for experiences and dining. We went with our two boys, ages 7 and 10 and had a visit from a set of grandparents for a few days - and there was plenty of space: -) Really well-equipped kitchen, and there were also spices, so a lot of delicious food could be made. Amazing beds that you slept perfectly in - including the bunk beds. In addition, it was great with the space around the house - we played some ball on the grass side, and there was a table tennis set that we also used the whole family extensively. Lovely sized pool, which is probably delicious in the summer (just cold enough for us as we didn't have the best weather in April). Nicely located, as you can quickly get to the 25th of April bridge, which leads into Lisbon. And there's a bakery with delicious breakfast bread 5 minutes walk from the house. Remember slippers or thick socks, as it can be a little cold - we'll remember them next time we come: -)
