We are a swedish family with 2 kids. I think the place was perfect. Close to great surfbeach Ribeira d'Ilhas and a nice pool at residens so if the kids had enough of sand I could drive them home and be back in the waves in 10 minutes. 5 min by car from town center and easy to park while having dinner in the evening. Hugo and brother Telmo were very service minded and have great advice for places to visit etc. Very clean and nice apartment. Sure, if it was walking distance also for children to center of Ericeira it would have been nice but not a big issue for us. We will definitely return to Ericeira and Hugos place!
