This place is a dream come true! There should be another level above ‘super host’ to describe Ana and Rute’s hospitality.
We received a warm welcome by the host. The pantry and fridge was filled with delicious food. We stayed for 10 days (not a day too long) and Ana and Rute were happy to give us a refill. Furthermore we were spoilt with fresh pastries and bread every morning and with fruit and vegetables from Ana’s farm.
The space was fresh and spotless clean on arrival. We visited during Covid and all precautions were taken. The windmill has everything you need. We enjoyed the barbecue facilities and the different places to hang out on the deck. The renovation is done beautifully, making practical use if the available space and with a lot of eye for detail.
This is the ideal place to stay in Ericeira for some relaxation at the windmill enjoying the ocean view as well as for activities. You will be walking distance from the city center with bars, restaurants, surf schools and the beach. There’s also a lot of hiking trails nearby. Ubers are available as well as busses.
The host’s dogs are very sweet and unique characters. If you don’t like dogs Ana and Rute are happy to keep the dogs from visiting you but we enjoyed the furry company.
