The location is great. Close to the beaches and downtown. The walk back is a little steep, but for most people that will not be a problem. Ericeira is a very nice town, very relaxing, with nice beaches and restaurants. The house is big. It stays cool inside even when it is hot outside. It needs, in our opinion, some upgrading and modernization as far as kitchen utensils, garden chairs, mattrass and sun umbrella. We had a great time and loved Ericeira.
