About this property

Quinta do Adagio - Casa d'Ameixa

Welcome to Quinta do Adagio.
Enjoy the mild weather, the calm of the countryside, the peace of rural life and absorb the typical hospitality of Colares. Live and experiment Sintra with your family and take sweet memories home with you.

The space
In our Quinta there's four independent houses with an big garden shared by all.
The house has two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. It can comfortably house 6 people, with two double beds in the bedrooms and a large sofa bed for two in the living room.
The house has also a balcony with a magnificent view of the Serra de Sintra.
In addition to the beautiful garden, you can find various agricultural plantations and several fruit trees scattered around the Quinta.
We, the owners, live in one of the houses of the Quinta do Adagio and we're almost always present, but we believe that our guests cherish the rest and quiet, so our interaction with them comes down to what is strictly necessary.
However, we will always be present to assist our guests in all that's necessary.

The region
Colares is a pretty calm and quiet zone, where rural life is prevalent.
At about 4 km away are the beautiful West Coast beaches, including Praia Grande (famous for propitious waves for surfing and bodyboarding), Praia das Maçãs, Praia da Adraga, magnificently carved between the cliffs, Praia da Aguda, Praia de Magoito, Praia da Ursa, difficult to access, but very pretty, and a little further the famous Praia do Guincho known for strong winds that incite the practice of Windsurfing.
On the way to Praia do Guincho, you may pass by Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of the European continent, where the land ends and the sea begins, such as Luís de Camões wrote in Lusíadas.
About 7 km away, you arrive to beautiful and romantic Sintra, full of monuments, museums and green spaces.
Some of the monuments to visit, are Palácio da Pena, Castelo dos Mouros, Palácio and Quinta da Regaleira, Palácio de Monserrate, Palácio Nacional de Vila de Sintra, Conventos dos Capuchos, among others.
You can find also several museums, Sintra's News Museum, Sintra Museum of Art, Sintra's Natural History Museum, Museum Anjos Teixeira, Museum Klaus Ohnsmann, among others
About the gastronomy, if you come to Colares, you have to try the famous and unique Colares wine, so we advise our guests to experience, which can be done in the Adega Regional de Colares, just a five minutes' walk from our Quinta do Adagio.
Even if you're not sweet tooth, in Sintra Village, is mandatory to try and delight yourself with the famous Piriquita's Travesseiros and Sapa's Queijadas.
Sintra has so much to experience that it is virtually impossible to summarize in a few words.

Inside the Quinta, there's a large private parking, if you come with your own or rented car (recommended).
You can also use public transport in the area, with buses that perform regular service between Colares, Sintra, Cascais, passing by the beaches and Cabo da Roca.
In Sintra you can take the train to Lisbon, where the public transportation network is very well structured, including subway, train, bus and tram.
Speaking of trams, it is crucial to experience a trip on the tram in Sintra, an ex-libris of the region that begins the journey in Sintra, near the Sintra Museum of Art, following to the Museum of Science Alive, passes through the back of our Quinta, where it has a stop to enjoy the trip, follows down to Colares, passing in front of the Adega Regional de Colares and then continues the journey, ending at the Praia das Maçãs. It's a fantastic journey that you shouldn't miss.

Wundervoll
Wir haben drei Tage in diesem wunderschönen und besonders liebevoll eingerichteten Holzhaus verbracht und sind sehr angetan! Es fehlte an nichts, die Vermieter sind sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Besser geht es wirklich nicht!

Top!!!
Wir haben einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt genoßen. Das Haus war super sauber und die Vermieter ausgesprochen freundlich. Auch der Hund hat uns sofort in sein Herz geschlossen und uns jeden Abend bei der Rückkehr begrüßt. Die Lage ist recht zentral, dennoch ist es ausgesprochen ruhig. Mit dem Auto in zwei Minuten entfernt ist ein Supermarkt und eine Bäckerei. An den Stränden ist man in zehn Minuten und nach Sintra ist es auch nicht weiter. Dies war eines der besten Ferienhäuser, die wir bisher gebucht haben.

Sehr schönes Holzhaus - perfekt für 4 Personen
Wir hatten leider etwas Pech mit dem Wetter, aber im Haus und auch auf der überdachten Veranda war es perfekt. Das Haus ist modern im Ikea-Style eingerichtet und mit Ausnahme einer Knoblauchpresse war wirklich alles da!! Der Hund ist eine sehr treue Seele, begrüßt die Bewohner immer freundlich und wartet vor dem Haus auf Streicheleinheiten, was unsere Kinder sehr gern getan haben. Die Katze ist auch süß und auch (fast) immer bereit für Streicheleinheiten. Ca 1km vom Haus entfernt ist ein kleiner sehr gut sortierter Supermarkt (Atlantico) mit Frischfleisch, tollem und preiswerten Obst-und Gemüseangebot, frischem Gebäck, Brot etc. Wir haben wirklich alles gefunden was wir brauchten. Begrüßt wurden wir im Haus von den Vermietern mit frischem Brot, Butter und Milch. Vielen Dank!!
