We really enjoyed our stay at Luis' apartment in Ericeira. The place is really spacious and nicely furnished. there is a big balcony and a backyard and even a fireplace. Comfy beanbags all over the place and you can take them outside on the balcony and watch the sunset! Luis made sure we were welcomed and got the keys on arrival. Everything was clean and we got bedding and towels. Luis checked on us during the week to see if everything was okay and gave us great advice regarding sights to see, beaches and restaurants. He was a great host.
Ericeira is a lovely village with a nice atmosphere. Lots of surfers but also locals - a nice crowd -young and old people mingling. Very lively in the evenings - many people stayed outside in the streets and on the main square there was live music every night. Shops were open till midnight and the were some good restaurants and bars.
We would definitely go back again. Many good sights nearby (Lisbon, Peniche, Sintra, etc) and many nice beaches, although the sea was quite wild and rather good for surfing than for swimming.
Luis' apartment is in a new residential area outside of Ericeira - very quiet and great for relaxing. It is an half an hour walk into the old village centre with restaurants, bars, etc, but there is one cafe/ restaurant around the corner of the apartment where you can get bread, etc. in the morning. Thanks for everything.
