My rating of this property is average because of both very good and very poor aspects of our experience. First the good: this property is beautiful and comfortable. The architecture and interior of this converted windmill has been very well done. Although quite small, it has everything a person or couple needs to have a relaxing stay (but note that the ceilings are quite low and anyone 6 feet (2 meters) or more will have difficulty in this building). The view from the patio is gorgeous and the sunrise pops into view from the bedroom window. The property is on a hilltop, overlooking vineyards and orchards in the valley below, adjacent to a water deposit and a managed/working forest. There is also a nearby dog training/boarding facility, which you can hear along with the water pumps when the windows are open, but when the windows are closed (along with the meter-thick walls of the building), it is incredibly quiet. If you don't plan to drive into Mafra or Ericeira daily (it's 20 min. to Ericeira), bring groceries because there aren't any services in the nearby town (although the town was celebrating Nossa Senhora da Nazare when we arrived, which was an unexpected treat!). There are both indoor and outdoor tables/chairs to enjoy your sunrise breakfast or evening glass of wine. Now the not-so-good: Communication with the host and property management company was very poor and confusing. We were provided late *and* incorrect information for check-in and could not access the property upon arrival. The contact provided for issues and emergencies was a management company located 3 hours away in Porto and unable to help, and the host was unresponsive by phone. If the property were located in town, this would have been inconvenient and frustrating. But this property is on the top of a dark mountain with poor mobile access and narrow unimproved roads, which made it also dangerous. The host and management company pointed fingers at each other for the issue, but whose fault it was is unimportant; we just wanted to be fairly compensated for the issue and that the host take measures to ensure that this does not happen to anyone else in the future. Hopefully with this feedback, this will be the case and many more visitors can enjoy this sweet windmill in the beekeeper's woods.
