This place is the perfect place to discover the Lisbon area without staying in Lisbon. It's only a 45 minute drive and you can stay close to the beach. Ericeira which is a 5 minute drive is a coastal town with lots of charm, restaurants and bars. Here is where you will find beaches that are protected from winds too. Alexa is a very responsive friendly host that will answer any questions. She even personally greeted us when we arrived. The house is well-equipped and she stocked it with bread, eggs, milk, fruit etc. We can highly recommend this place.
