Where do I even begin? This is our first morning back home after a week at O Remoinho and we are missing it! The windmill was the perfect place to stay for our honeymoon - romantic, magical, while still being comfortable, cozy, and practical. It's amazing how they have transformed this space so thoughtfully and beautifully. Ana and Rute are brilliant, and phenomenal hosts. Anything they didn't already think of (and they thought of a lot when preparing the windmill for guests), they will provide or help you find as quickly as possible! At the same time you will really feel like the space is your own and you have lots of privacy. The windmill was well-equipped for preparing and eating meals there, especially with the beautiful outdoor patio space overlooking the ocean. You'll never be short of bread and pastries :) And be sure to try Ana's homemade blueberry jam!
Location-wise we LOVED Ericeira. We rented a car and used this as a homebase for day trips to Nazare, Obidos, Sintra, and Cascais, and it was no more than 1.5 hours to any of those destinations. While we enjoyed all those visits, it always felt great to come back to beautiful Ericeira and the windmill. In Ericeira, you will be in a great location for an easy walk to anywhere in town. The fresh fish restaurants are the best seafood we've had (try Mar d'Areia!). The surfing opportunities were fun and convenient. We recommend Surfing with Pepe and Semente Surf School.
Don't hesitate to book O Remoinho!
