When travelling through Portugal earlier this year with my partner Julian, we stayed at the most GORGEOUS place and I just HAD to share it with all the couples out there looking for the perfect honeymoon destination! I spent a lot of time researching Portugal before our trip and completely fell in love with (and got quite addicted to) Airbnb.

And that’s where I found the Almoçageme Windmill in Colares…. just under an hour drive from Lisbon.

It was just…. awesome! No words could describe how awesome it was! It was just the most romantic place to stay and we enjoyed 3 or 4 nights there and took in the amazing sights of Sintra with all of it’s historic castles and breathtaking views.
Here are some shots of the Windmill and also a few pictures from our day trips in the surrounding area.
If you’re thinking of a European Honeymoon and like the idea of a honeymoon in Portugal, or better yet, like WINDMILLS … you HAVE to stay here!!
