"That is a beautiful property! The bedroom is so nice and the bedsheets were the most comfortable thing.
The breakfast was also great.
Vitorino is a very welcoming host.

This stunning, spacious, and romantic home is perched on the cliffs of Portugal’s west coast, just 15 minutes from Sintra. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Alfie and Miguel, who greeted us with the kind of genuine hospitality that made us feel like long-lost family.
Alfie prepared an incredible breakfast each morning (included in the stay), and the entire experience felt like...
"The Villa Bella Vista was wonderful! The room was spacious and spotless. There were very few other guests so we had the terrace all to ourselves. The view could not be better; a perfect place to watch the sunset and listen to the busker playing in front of the palace. "
"The host was extremely friendly and helpful, especially with tips for getting to the Palace of Sintra. The place is very convenient right in the center of town. Even though we stayed for only one night, we would definitely stay there again. "
"We stayed here for a wedding. The location is super convenient. Right by the venue and within walking distance to some delicious food options and cute shops. "

Quiet landscape with stunning views of the Atlantic Coast, Colares, Sintra
10/10 Excellent
"My wife and I try to stay away from tourism craziness and experience a place that would be considered part of the community we are visiting. This place achieved that. The house was in a quiet area with awesome views of the ocean and a short distance from Town and Beaches. Walkable to both. The house was equipped with all the necessities of home making our trip 5 star. I recommend this place to anyone looking for the same "
"The hotel is truly as you see it in the images! The pool is massive and the beach is wonderful. We stayed with our 11&14year olds and they thought the location was awesome, and loved the breakfast. The room we had was spacious and perfect for all of us! You can easily pop to restaurants and the grocery store (we had a car), and the views from every space are gorgeous!"

Alfie prepared an incredible breakfast each morning (included in the stay), and the entire experience felt like a luxurious, five-star retreat with a personal touch.
The interior of the home is a thoughtful blend of eclectic Mediterranean charm, mid-century character, and boho elegance. Every corner reflects intentional design—from the curved fireplace and white stucco walls to the marble railings and abundant natural light streaming through expansive windows. The constant sound of waves crashing against the cliffs below added to the dream-like ambiance.
As we were traveling as a family, we stayed in the cottage on the property, which offered a lovely private retreat with two bedrooms (one queen and two twins), a cozy living room with a large TV, and a well-equipped kitchenette.
The dining area was tastefully decorated with woven rugs, soft fabric chairs, and subtle green and gold accents. Sitting there each morning, enjoying a beautifully prepared breakfast while gazing out at the ocean below, was truly unforgettable.

Charming Villa - Colares Sintra - Heated Pool by the Beaches
10/10 Excellent
"We chose the Barca Charm House for its location, family friendliness and wonderful reviews. Each review referred to the hospitality of our hosts and I have to agree with previous reviewers, Sandra and Eduardo were exceptional. The house is comfortable and fully equipped. There was everything you could possibly need and so much more. The only item we were unable to bring with us was a potty for our 2 year old. Sandra was immediately on the case and brought a brand new potty round which was so helpful! There is so much to see and do in the area that a week just wasn’t long enough. We left with heavy hearts. Our family are spread out over the world and time spent together is very precious. We made many happy memories in the Charm house. Thank you Sandra and Eduardo. Wishing you both health and happiness.

"We chose this cottage because of the location and it was good for us. We don’t like crowds and love the coast. Sintra and Lisbon were easy Uber drives away and we got to experience staying in a picturesque cliffside village. The cottage garden was beautiful and inside had everything we needed. Our Host was great and very accessible. We had a lovely stay."
