When we arrived Paulo took us out in his car and showed us around. Then he took us to the supermarket waited for I us while we shopped and took us home. That was way beyond expectations. The pool was really great. The house is located on Outerinho which is a suburb of Ericeira. There is one cafe there and no shops. It is very quiet. The nearest supermarket is one half hour walk. A peculiar thing about the house is that there is no back door onto the pool area. Not a problem but if you had small children might be a problem.
