The charming owners call it an eco-friendly guest house and it is, but it is much more. It is an extremely friendly place to stay! Located within an hour of Lisbon, it is a great base for exploring the area along the coast. Many of the guests were avid walkers and saw much of the area on foot. We had... More

Aasta and James could not possibly do more to make their guests welcome and comfortable. You arrive to wine, fruit, tea, coffee and biscuits in your room, which is beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. You eat a wonderful organic breakfast, overeating on the homemade cakes, and if you are lucky a delicious supper on a day when Aasta is cooking.... More

We just got home from a 10 night trip to Portugal with our last 3 nights at the Colina Flora. All I can say is a wish I was still at the Colina Flora. The other 3 places we stayed were all very nice very upscale hotels but Colina Flora was the best with Aasta and James, the Inn Keepers,... More

We stayed at the Colina Flora for two nights as part of a walking holiday. We were tired when we arrived but James was very welcoming and Aasta provided tea and home made cakes to revive us.

I stayed at Colina Flora for 2 nights as part of a walking holiday in Sintra National Park. I was really impressed with how welcoming and helpful our hosts James and Aasta were. They have excellent knowledge of the local area and what it has to offer. Nothing is too much trouble as far as they are concerned. The guesthouse... More

We went for the walking and we were rewarded. Having eaten a delicious breakfast we were able to set out and enjoy the countryside and costal area based on James' walking maps and recommendations. An invitation to a concert at a local Quinta was an unexpected treat - thanks to our considerate hosts. A lovely serene setting - many thanks... More

I had a wonderful 9 days at Colina Flora over the new year period. The location is beautiful and incredibly handy for getting around, the rooms are lovely, breakfasts and dinners delicious and Aasta & James were fantastic hosts. The activities i took part in included walking, mountain biking, kayaking, art class, chi kung, yoga, massage and stress management classes.... More

From the minute I came through the arrivals door at the Lisbon airport and saw James holding a sign with my name, until James dropped me off at the airport a week later...I had the most amazing week! James and Aasta are the perfect hosts at Quinta Colina Flora. The guest house is an oasis in rolling hills near the... More
