Colares gem

All the reviews were true! Sandra and Eduardo own a perfect place for a group vacation. Their hospitality is first class and they are very concerned about their guest’s well being. The pool and outside dining area were wonderful. The location is very convenient for a wide range of activities. I based my choice of this house on reviews and we were not disappointed. Thank you Sandra and Eduardo.

Wonderful Stay in Colares

It was a wonderful location and we had a great trip, especially with such wonderful and responsive hosts. The only issue we had was plumbing/ventilation of the three bedrooms downstairs could have been improved because of all the rain.

A wonderful family gathering.

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.

Perfect family vacation stay

A Barca charm house was the perfect place for our entire family to enjoy a week in beautiful Portugal. Sandra and Eduardo are the most charming hosts and so helpful. The house was supplied with everything we needed, clean, comfortable, and gorgeous. There are bikes, games, toys and an awesome heated swimming pool. So close to all the major sites and beaches. I can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay!

The house if just as friendly and fun as it appears in the photos. The air here is filled with birdsong and the property provides more facilities than we could ever use. The hosts welcomed us warmly and seemed available for anything we may need. This place is a great find.

Barca Charm House in Colares

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house. The owners were so helpful as soon as we booked it. Sent us many ideas for things to do while we were in Portugal and greeted us with a delicious pitcher of Sangria and some local treats. This was our first experience with Vrbo and we were very happy!

The best hosts ever! 5 stars!

The hosts were absolutely incredible from the moment we booked till the moment we left - they went above and beyond! Nothing was too much trouble and they made us feel so at home and comfortable. The house was fantastic and so easy to get everywhere by bus or walking. Beach and playgrounds! The kids loved playing in the pool and the sandpit and the little houses. We had such a lovely stay - thanks so much both! Would definitely recommend!

Perfect house for our family

We had an amazing stay (7 adults and 4 kids), Sandra and Eduardo were such thoughtful hosts, and my only regret was not staying longer! The house is well equipped and roomy for large families with young kids, and there are so many things to do nearby. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and so responsive when we needed advice about excursions, etc. Highly recommend!

Perfect Stay

Sandra and Eduardo were lovely hosts and greeted us with a drink and a tasty selection of food. They were friendly and gave us great recommendations for places to visit and restaurants to eat at. The house was fantastic and clean and equipped with everything you need for a great holiday. We chose to pay a bit extra to heat the pool which was at a perfect temperature. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying in their charming house and would definitely stay again in the future.

Wonderful house with amazing hosts

We loved our stay here. They had thought of everything and we felt so comfortable and welcome. When we arrived our hosts made us some delicious Portuguese food and drink which made the start of our holiday even more special. The pool and outside dining area were the highlights for us, we spent many happy hours here. The location is perfect for visiting local beaches and exploring nearby historic places of interest. We had one car but found walking to the beaches and nearby supermarket very easy. We will be back. Highly recommended.

The perfect place to stay! Highly Recommend

We had 9 adults, children aged 7, 6,2 and newborn. The Barca Charm house was perfect for all ages! We loved the outdoor kitchen and the pool. Wonderful communication. Sandra and Eduardo had excellent communication and recommendations for our group. Their welcome Portuguese starters and Sangria were delicious as well as the meal they prepared for us. It’s an excellent location with bus stop right outside to Sintra or the beach. Ubers were cheap and came quickly too. Easy walk to Colares for groceries and brewery. We would stay here again and highly recommend! Thank you for opening your home to us

Wonderful memories of the Barca Charm House

Our family of 9 spent 2 wonderful weeks at the beautiful vacation home of Sandra and Eduardo in Colares. Everything was perfect - from the beautiful interior, the pool, the garage with the pool table and dart board and the bicycles available to us. Sandra and Eduardo were always available to answer our many questions, make suggestions and prepared delicious paella for us twice. We went home with so many great memories and will always remember our stay. A big 'obrigado' to our kind and lovely hosts.

Perfect Family Holiday

I booked this villa for my wife’s surprise 60th, she wasn’t aware the rest of the family was there the day before. we are a 3 generation big family ranging from 9 months to 60 and based on the fact it had five bedrooms and 4 separate bathrooms it was perfect, when we arrived it stood up to our expectations plus more, it’s a perfect villa for big families, the pool, garden, the BBQ and outside kitchen all made it a holiday not to be forgotten. It’s central to all your needs, a day trip to Sintra, Lisbon, the local beach’s , shops and restaurants, I would recommend the fish restaurant called Bar Do Fundo at the end of the beach road of Praia Grande and watch the sun set, if you want simple food and some great beers then head off to the beach village and try AMA stone bake Pizzas A massive thank you to Sandra & Eduardo for your hospitality and arranging a traditional Portuguese birthday meal for us , the paella was out of this world😘

An amazing family holiday!

After having spent nearly two years apart, we had the most wonderful time at Barca Charm House. The house is beautiful and we especially appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the property. The children especially loved the outside play areas, the adults loved the most incredibly well equipped outdoor kitchen and we all loved the pool. The location is outstanding and we really enjoyed being able to visit Sintra, Cascais, Ericeira as well as the spectacular Praia Grande. Amenities are excellent and the local restaurants are superb. Eduardo and Sandra were incredible hosts and we were taken back by the feast they prepared on our arrival. Thanks so much for the most wonderful family holiday - we will treasure those memories forever.

Beautiful house, fantastic outdoor space

Plenty of room for our group of 7 adults and 2 children. Honestly, other than sleeping we were rarely inside the house because the outside space is so wonderful, with beautiful plantings and landscaping. The outdoor kitchen and dining area has everything you need, even a dishwasher. The kids loved the pool, table tennis, and badminton. Sandra and Eduardo are as kind and helpful as everyone has said, and we enjoyed two of their home-cooked meals and recommend them. It's an easy walk from the house to get groceries, pastries, beer, wine, etc.

Beautiful house & Wonderful holiday

We had an amazing holiday at the charm house, good size accommodations, plenty of towels, equipment, kitchen utensils they had really thought of everything. Lovely helpful hosts. Children loved the heated pool (extra charge). Relaxing evening around the table in the outside kitchen BBQ, games, laughing and making memories. The local beach is beautiful, a good 35mim walk from the house. Local winery, shops & restaurants all a short walk away. My only concern is that in Verbo advertising it says child’s beds in bedroom 2&5 but there are none and certainly wouldn’t be room in bedroom 5 for a child’s bed.

Sandra and Eduardo are the most incredible hosts, they go above and beyond and it is obvious the love, care and attention that has gone into Barca Charm house. Their communication was excellent, the house was so well equipped, the pool and outdoor area was a fantastic gathering spot of everyone and the children loved it. The house is a great base for exploring the local area, taking a day trip to Lisbon, enjoying the local beaches. Sandra and Eduardo did the Portuguese dinner evening with us also and it was beautiful! Overall we all loved our time at Barca Charm house and thank you so much to Sandra and Eduardo for the amazing stay, beautiful food and for taking such good care of us!!

Our wonderful stay at Barca Charm House

Me and my family of nine had the pleasure of staying at Barca Charm House for a week. Everything was perfect for us, the house, the garden and the swimming pool. Sandra and Eduardo are absolutely outstanding hosts. We had the warmest welcoming and you could feel that they have put their heart and soul into this place. The Colares/Sintra area is amazing with its different beaches, castles, palaces, gardens and villages. The nature is at its very best. No need for Disney World. This is so much more. This place will forever be in our hearts. Highly recommended! On behalf of the Icelandic family, Ólöf Björk

Barca Charm House family holiday

We have just returned from a wonderful week at the Barca Charm House, a family group of 11 spanning three generations. Sandra and Eduardo are truly superhosts, their hospitality is second to none. As well as welcoming us with some delicious Portuguese food and drink they gave us lots of really helpful local information for our stay. Eduardo even contacted the rental car company on our behalf and managed to sort out an issue we had with one of our rental cars, which saved us a lot of time and stress, which was very much appreciated. The Barca Charm House is a lovely home from home in a beautiful, tranquil setting, extremely well equipped, great swimming pool and garden, perfect for a multi-generational family or group of friends. We loved every minute and hope to make a return trip one day.
