We stayed at U House for a week in mid-June with our two children (3 & 5 yrs.). The house is absolutely stunning, even better than the pictures suggest. The view in the evening from the garden out to sea and the sunset is fabulous. The location is perfect - up in the hills away from the coast so that it gets the breeze but only 10 mins drive at most to the nearest beach. Should you get tired of the beach, or if the weather isn't great, then it's only a 45 min drive into Lisbon which has some wonderful restaurants and a great Aquarium and Zoo for the kids. The pool isn't heated, so in June it was about 26 deg and a bit cold to make full use of, but I would imagine in the summer if would be fine. There a couple of supermarkets locally in Ericeria but it's worth driving the 20 mins to the Intermarche in Mafra which is much much better. There are plenty of good restaurants locally and we can recommend Pizza Mobile just off the coast road between Ribamar and São Lourenço. Jose, the host, is great - very quick to respond to questions and happy to sort-out any small issues etc. This was our first Airbnb experience and we're delighted. We will definitely be back next year!
