Our family of 16, eight adults and eight children (17mths-11 years), enjoyed time at the Yellow House. The setting was beautiful & pleasant throughout the day. The wide variety of activities available for young and old kept everyone entertained and happy. The proximity of the house to the many wonders of Sintra and the beach was perfect for our purposes and some of us walked or ran to the beach on the nice foot/bike path directly across the street. We paid the steep price of €245 to heat the pool thinking it would make it more enjoyable during the unseasonably cool days of our stay and it did. We were surprised to learn upon arriving that the pool has no “coverage with child protection” as the listing states. The covered outdoor eating area for 20+ was one of the things we enjoyed the most. Having two kitchens and a third refrigerator outdoors was very helpful for keeping the hungry masses fed and refreshed with beverages. The dish & utensil supplies were adequate for our numbers. Both stoves were small and challenging to use which slowed meal preparation. The many bedrooms and bathrooms were ideal for our family, including the attic loft. The sleeping areas had been thoughtfully arranged for the demographics of our group. If you have a large group which enjoys the outdoors and/or a group with varied ages, such as ours, I think you, too, will enjoy this house.

We had a great vacation in The Yellow House. Elena gave us a warm welcome. We could contact her and Paulo if it was necessary. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We had a great time in the garden and swimmingpool and the children enjoyed the playhouse and the playground.

We had a fantastic break at this property for a 40th birthday. Accomodation was spacious with hoards of activities to keep us entertained. Hosts were fantastic with a warm welcome offering advice on the area and responded quickly to any queries.

We had a lovely time at the house. We were a big group of different nationalities. Brazilians and croatians. The house was spotless, everything was working and it had all amenities we needed. We had a birthday party at the house and it went very well. There are restaurants and a shop walking distance from the house so there was nothing we needed we couldn't get. Paulo was lovely and approachable so we were very happy with our stay. We recommend it completely.

We were a group of 22, mostly teenagers, and the accommodation was great. Paulo and Elena were most helpful and accommodating. The backyard with the pool, the games room and living room provided plenty of space for the group together and in smaller groups.

Was a lovely big house and fab pool. However needs to be clearer about pool charge. Was not aware that it would be extra 200 euro's to heat the pool. Also some broken sun beds and an old washing machine left in the garden. Could do with some newer furniture in games room. Lady who checked us in and out and cleaned was lovely and very helpful. Very pleasant area and enjoyed our stay.

We stayed at the Yellow house in Colares for a week and we couldn't wish for a better house. When you swap through the photos you might believe that it can not be like shown but it actually is as beautiful. We arrived at the house and after a quick Check-In, which was absolutely sufficient, we had a look at the house and were stoked. A beautiful garden with everything you might need for a relaxed stay for families but also for a young group like us (20 ppl between 17-18 years old). A badminton field, a basketball hoop, a table tennis plate and and and. One can find many bathrooms, two dishwasher, two kitchens. So there are no space problems. The house was clean and neat. About the surroundings: In a distance of 200m you get to a small supermarket but there is not that much else in Colares. But it just takes around 15 minutes to get to Sintra. And like 40 minutes to walk to the beach where we took a surf course which was organized by Paulo ( the house owner). Additionally I have to say that I haven't come across a home owner, that put so much effort in providing a good customer service. He helped us a lot during our stay, always responded to a question after minutes and organized stuff such as a surf course, a shuttle service, taxis and so much more. To sum up I (we) strongly recommend the stay at the yellow house.

The house is very comfortable, clean, well organised and agreeable. While the size is suitable for big groups or families, it is still cozy. Fully equipped with all it is required and some nice extras - the fireplaces and games room lend a nice touch. Best part for us though, was the outside. The garden was well kept and protected from wind, with places to play basket, volleyball and ping-pong. The heated pool allows to be bathing comfortably even during the night. On the whole a great house. We left with the will to come back soon for another great vacations.
