We would love to be able to write a more positive review as we really liked Ericeira and Carlos who helped us check in at the house was extremely friendly and nice.
But, unfortunately the house just didn't live up to standard.
A minor detail is that it looks better in the pictures, but what bothered us the most was the extreme amount of humidity in the house. We could smell it the minute we walked into the house, and we found visible mold in several rooms including bedrooms. This was to such a degree that our clothes felt moist when we took them out of the closet and the bedlinen as well. We had to put on the heat in the house in order to level this out just a little.
Furthermore the majority of us simply got sick, with soar throats and coughing and slime - typical symptoms of living in a place with mold.
The plumbing in the bathrooms wasn't very good an we experienced clogging of both toilets and sink.
There was spots one both bed linen and towels, and we had to wash these to feel sure they were clean.
Walking distance into town didn't bother us, and the neighborhood is quiet and easy accesable. The pool area was nice and clean as well. The gardens on each side of the house weren't as private as it looks in the pictures, but there were no neighbors around so it wasn't a factor while we where there. Sadly these things were overshadowed by the state of the house.
We will return to Ericeira, but unfortunately not to this house.
