My wife and I had an absolutely incredible stay at Pedro’s place for the entire month of April! We recently moved to Portugal full time and Pedro made us feel completely welcomed with open arms while we looked for our long term housing in Ericeira. He is a fantastic communicator who was always prompt with any needed response, kind, generous, gracious, and also respectful of our privacy the entire time- he’s just a special human that makes you feel good every time you see him.
His place is awesome and the views are epic from everywhere. Whether you’re outside by the pool, cooking at the BBQ, having dinner at the kitchen table, or upstairs from the game room, there’s a view of the rolling countryside and the ocean. I’m a surfer and will fondly remember working on my computer from the living room and constantly glancing out the window to see the waves rifling off at Sao Lourenço. It was super cozy with the fireplace which we used nightly.
The location is perfect. It’s really quiet and you always feel connected to nature from the estate. You’ve got so many outstanding surf breaks all within a 5 minute drive and the reef at Sao Lourenço below was really fun on all sizes. We have a dog and found that there were also tons of options for walks straight out of the door. The walk through the valley below as part of the Coastal Route is now one of our favorites in all of Portugal.
The internet is fast and reliable, and the house is well furnished too. The game room upstairs was tons of fun for when the weather was rough the first past of the month. There was always enough hot water for baths, and we never had to worry about the power cutting off whenever we had everything plugged in. That is often a problem we’ve had with other stays in Portugal, but not here.
As a side highlight, it was really cool to see the container ship arriving to Portugal with our stuff from The States off the coast of Pedro’s place, and seeing the increasing number of sailboats head south as the weather warmed up en route for sailing season in the Mediterranean was also an unexpected surprise.
Overall, my wife and I can’t recommend Pedro’s place enough. We loved our time here and getting to meet Pedro was a highlight. I used to work for Airbnb and our experience with Pedro refreshingly took me back to the original feeling in the early days of what made it so special. Book before someone else does.
