The owner and house manager are very responsive and helpful. The house is clean and beautiful and spacious. It’s very convenient to a small shop (a few feet away) to get very basics which is nice but you’ll want a car to get to town to shop (hard to walk 2 miles with bags). Ericiera is fantastic and you get get everything you need there- great markets, restaurants, activities! You should be aware that the pictures of the view From this house are a bit deceiving as the first floor (main living floor) view is mostly of the back of the house in front of this one. You need to be on the far side of the pool area to see the water well or upstairs in the bedrooms where most of the pictures are taken from. Sophia, the house manager, is helpful and responsive. The restaurant recommendations are great. Check in and check out very easy. Sophia shared insight on car rentals which we wish we’d known in advance when as asked Aksel about cars- instead of waiting 3 hours at the airport to pick up your rental, take a taxi/uber to the house and rent a car from Ericeira quickly. It would have been much better than the difficult airport rental experience which is common in Europe.
