Architect / artist converted 17th C' farmhouse in World Heritage Site

Casa do Celeiro was discovered by its owners in 1980 as a ruin which had been the stable of a large 'quinta'. The main attractions of the site were its views of the Serra and the sea and its seclusion and intimacy due to being a courtyard built into a hill. The house today has the same basic format but now is suitable for self-catering groups from 4 to 8. There is a round pool at the top of the property and a stone terrace with pergola immediately in front of the cottage for BBQs and relaxing. The 2 bedrooms of the cottage have views of the sea and the use of a large greenhouse on the same level which looks into the cobbled inner courtyard. The kitchen / living room on the ground floor of the cottage can be used for groups of 6 or 8. The annex across the courtyard is ideal for a couple. It has a double bed and ensuite bathroom with a small terrace facing the Serra. The ground floor bedroom is the largest with views of the Serra and a bathroom in the hall.

Colares, Sintra is famous as a wooded mountainous area on the Atlantic coast one hour from Lisbon. As a World Heritage Site it is full of historic buildings and gardens as well as sumptuous private farms or 'quintas'. Lord Bryon wrote about the unique beauty of Sintra. The Portuguese kings spent their summers in Pena Palace high above Sintra vila which is also the site of the 9th century Moorish castle. Besides its rich history there are many beaches, golf courses and stunning walks along the coast or in the mountains. The area around our house is quiet with splendid views of the sea, the mountains and nearby villages. The nearest village, Almoçageme is 3 minutes by car and has many good restaurants, cafes and grocery stores as well as its own beach. On weekends there are fresh food markets where one can get fruit, vegetables and other local produce. Almoçageme is 20 minutes from Sintra vila and 25 minutes from Cascais village both of which have trains to Lisbon.

Local activities mountain biking, golf, horse riding, surfing, swimming, tennis, walking, wind-surfing
