The Home

An upstairs apartment with space, garden and old-house charm.

Casal Dos Silvas is our lived-in, pre-renovated family home in Colares: spacious and comfortable, with the imperfect texture that comes with an older stone-built farm villa.

The upstairs apartment has two double rooms and one single room, with access to a generous 1,000 m² garden and off-street parking for two cars. The downstairs is not yet renovated and out of use although can be used for secure storage.

Hi, we're a British family. We're going back to the UK for the summer and we're looking to rent out our house. Please note it is unrenovated and not perfect in places (!) but we think it's a lovely place to be!

The Reality

Not a hotel. A real home.

Some things are imperfect, and we want to be plain about that. The house is pre-renovation, lived-in and personal, but it is also spacious, comfortable and full of character.

We are looking for one family for the full July and August period. Ideally, we meet the family first so everyone feels comfortable with the arrangement.
