We booked a 10 day stay with Luis and Cláudia, and it was fantastic. These were our first days in Portugal and we wanted a place that would help us relax and settle into the country. Our stay was during the winter, so the weather was expectedly chilly. Ribamar is close to Ericeira, where we had several dinners. We visited Luis and Claudia's spectacular seaside outdoor terrace bar where we had some drinks and snacks at sunset... FABULOUS. Back in Ribamar, the guest house is right next to a well-known seafood restaurant that serves AMAZING Sopa Rica -- we went there twice and over-dosed on the soup...it's that good. Because it was winter, we didn't go swimming in the pool; if it were summer, we definitely would have been in the pool every day -- it's a really nice property. We also had parking for our car, which was great. We used this location to do day trips around the Lisboa province. We went to Sintra twice, just 40 minutes away. We went to Lisbon for the flea market on Tuesday. We went to Nazaré to see the big wave surfing competition. A couple days we just lounged around and stayed close to the guest house. It was just perfect. Also, there are a number of cafes and little restaurants in Ribamar, just a few steps from the guest house. Cláudia is wonderful (we didn't have a chance to meet Luis in person). She helped us when we needed it, which very few times -- maybe three times across 10 days. We highly recommend staying with them!
