Catarina & Miguel's appartement in the centre of the calm fishing village, Ericeira, is like "un petit bijou" as you say in French. It's practical with a nice "living" combined with a kitchen and a spacious bedroom. Nestled between two narrow streets, Pé na Vila, "les pieds dans la ville", is close to everything, the pittoresque cafés, the beautiful marketplace and just a small walk from the Praia dos Pescadores, with a magnificent view over the ocean. Check out the cozy Bamboo Bar, cool people serving, laid back atmosphere, cool music. I brought work, and finished everything in this amazing place.
Ericeira, a small, beautiful fishing village with typical Portuguese architecture. Check out the library and the streets close to the ocean. Sintra is also close to Ericeira for the historical interested. Ericeira is the perfect spot if you want to discover the north of Portugal, before or after your stay in Lisbon.
The only bémol I can think about is of practical kind: Catarina had fruit on a platter & fresh water when I arrived late in the evening, a nice gesture! I would wish, though, some simple dry food like pasta & rice, maybe coffee, tea & sugar. Most AIRbnb's I visit have this, it is really practical. And maybe some liquid soap in the shower.
Catarina is a very nice person, we had a good communication from the start. She was very flexible, and could receive me late in the evening the day of arrival, even if she does not live near by. She knows the village since her childhood, so she is the perfect host to recommend nice restaurants and things to do. The day of departure she saw me well off and made me a treat with a wonderful tasty local cake from Fernanda. Very much appreciated, Catarina, a lot of AIRbnb hosts tend to receive, but not say farewell.. Obrigada Catarina, All the best from Maya🌺
