Sandra and Eduardo are waiting for you with Portuguese flavors to taste, a delicious champagne Sangria with red fruits to celebrate your holiday. Welcome! Be our guest!
This beautiful house, built in the 1930s, was completely renovated in 2016. It is a designer house with a new interior, but with all the charm of a traditional Portuguese house. Every detail has been made with LOVE. It is located in the Banzão-Colares pine forest (Sintra), in a very private and safe area, surrounded by the beauty of Sintra forest. Wonderful beaches and many historical sites are very close. You can walk or cycle on the beach.
This two story house can accommodate 11 guests with every comfort. The first floor has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The second floor has three more bedrooms and two bathrooms. Three crib or infant beds are available upon request. There are two living rooms (one with smart tv), a dining room and a fully equipped kitchen.
The doors are open to the living room, with garden furniture, an outdoor dining table and chairs, a kitchen near the barbecue, surrounding a beautiful pool (8 X 4 Mts) WITH FENCE PROTECTION, with 8 sun loungers + 4 garden chairs with towels.
Heated pool on request (Pool heating: EUR 25 extra charge per day). Pool heating depends on weather conditions - usually possible from April until October.
We have an additional bike rental service. It's great to go to the beach and restaurants by bike.
For children, but also for adults, we have a separate games room near the garden with ping pong and badminton. We have a children's playground in the 16 m2 garden and a wooden house that the kids will love!
Imagine sitting by the pool, having your breakfast and planning an exciting day exploring Sintra, the nearby towns and historic villages.
It is our intention to provide everything you need to experience the best of Portugal!
For periods longer than 6 days, our housekeeper cleans the house and provides clean towels in the middle of your stay.

Barca Charm House
Had a wonderful time at the Barca Charm House on our first trip to the beautiful country of Portugal!! Sandra and Eduardo are the perfect hosts - made us feel like family!!! They greeted us when we arrived and Sandra prepared some Portuguese food tastes for us and Eduardo made his delicious sangria. He even returned another night and left us a surprise sangria pitcher!!! The house was perfect for our family!!! The grandkids had a backyard to play in, a sand box, play market, and playhouse to enjoy!! There were toys inside too and a small table and chairs for them.Unfortunately, we were only able to enjoy the pools on two days.The home is like old Portugal. The bedrooms were all spacious and well appointed. The kitchen was perfect for dinners. The home is also close to the beach, market and pastry shop. My kids were able to walk to the market and pastry shop to get coffee in the morning, We rented a car and drove to many sites in the area. The house is centrally located which makes it easier!!

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.

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.

Amazingly perfect vacation rental and a stay we will always remember fondly
We were so happy we rented this beautiful home . Love the decorating! This place is the most perfect I have come accross in decades of travel with the nicest, kindest, most accommodating hosts. Every need had been anticipated and any question quickly answered. We had picked this house because it seemed perfect for the little kids ages 1, 2, 4 and 10 and we needed an enclosed pool. Everything we dreamed of was in the house....several cribs, strollers, high chair, children's dishes and utensils. They loved it! The play houses,sandbox and loads of toys were amazing and the kids loved it all. It's such a relief to be able to relax outside while the kids are occupied playing. Floaties and volleyball net were a big hit, and the 4 year old learned to swim here! The outdoor kitchen was brilliant....with extra dishes, fridge and dishwasher. The hose itself is so cute and roomy with 5 lovely bedrooms , bath, big kitchen and living room and playroom. There were even English shows on tv for the kids. We were all so happy and relaxed here at our first family reunion again after Covid! We were received with sangria and delicious Portuguese snacks ..including sausage set alight on a ceramic pig..very cute! The next day we ordered Paella fro Sandra and what an amazing meal that was! So much to see ...beaches, Sintra, Lisbon etc. We walked to the beach or into town which was lovely. The grocery store in Colares is great..with a very good and well-priced wine selection. A wonderful stay!

Wonderful Stay in Barca Charm House
We had a large group of adults and children. The house met all our needs perfectly. 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!!

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!

Beautiful property/area and wonderful hosts
The property is really beautiful and no detail has been overlooked. It was spotlessly clean and had absolutely everything we needed. Lots within walking distance, including a really well stocked supermarket. You can get by without a car, but next time we visit we will hire one as there is so much to see in the local area. Our hosts were absolutely amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. A wholehearted recommendation.

Charmed by the Villa and owners
The communication from the owners was amazing from the very first moment we booked. Nothing was too much for the owners and they helped us out with so much. Even booking a restaurant for the following day at a lovely place for someone’s birthday. We didn’t hire cars due to cost and ideally due to location I would say maybe hire or have patience for a Uber but they do come eventually. Pool was amazing and they have all towels there so no need to take. Pool was heated for a extra cost of course which I totally recommend and the maid was lovely also. Restaurants near by are great and supermarket is nearby. Basically the Villa and owners are so so kind and went above and beyond which is great as in the end I felt we made some friends. Sintra was lovely nearby and well worth a visit a few times. Def shortlist this place and then maybe reach out to the owners directly if you have any questions and I assure you they come back so quickly and are helpful. The family of 13 enjoyed it massively. ❤️
