We had an amazing time at Quinta Do Vale!
From the very outset, the hosts were incredibly accommodating, with our very inconvenient arrival time (greeting us at midnight, thanks to our delayed flight). We were greeted with a tour of the villa and local tips about the area, alongside a very welcome bottle of wine.
The accommodation itself, is a 3 bedroom ground floor apartment, with all mod cons and very clean and tidy. It was equipped with everything needed for a two week family holiday, such as: washing machine, airer, dishwasher, oven, microwave, kitchen utensils (in a secret, hidden drawer), spare towels, reliable wifi and the DISNEY CHANNEL;-) The bathrooms and showers were also very high spec.
The pool and outside were fantastic! The pool itself was over 2 metres deep and has a diving board, also a shallow end for younger children. Loads of inflatables and sun loungers/hammock. The outdoor area had various seated spots to enjoy the sun or shade. The two friendly goats at the bottom of the garden, were a hit with the children; along with the chickens, which we were kindly given fresh eggs from. We had dinner outside every evening in peaceful surroundings, enjoying the Portuguese weather.
The town of Ericeira was a 5 minute drive away, with plenty of supermarkets and shops. Beaches were plentiful, depending on your needs, surfing or calmer. The views were stunning! One thing that really stood out for us was the parking in town and next to beaches was all free. If only the UK had the same mindset!
If we return to Portugal, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
Thank you again for a wonderful stay. We highly recommend.
I've made a video tour of the accommodation, if anyone would like to have a further look around, it's on YouTube with the title Quinta Do Vale. Unfortunately Airbnb won't allow me to put a link here.
