Herwig met us on our arrival, having given us all the information we needed about transport from the airport, and booked our taxi for us. What a perfect hassle- free trip! He also organised surf lessons and board hire, so really, he made everything as easy as possible for us. We were a family group of 6 adults and teenagers and loved every minute of our stay. The location of the apartment was perfect- right in town and right on the beach. Sunset viewed from the kitchen with a Caipirinha or glass of wine in hand are one of many gorgeous memories which will sustain us over the winter. Being so close to everything gave us great independence- we didn't have to move in a pack- Coffee and Pasteis de Nata in the square for breakfast, small beers in the afternoon sunshine, renting bikes and motor scooters to explore the stunning coast, finishing up in one of the many excellent restaurants in Ericera. Very friendly people, eager to help in my quest to learn a few basics of Portuguese! Great butchers, lovely gourmet shop and a big fish, fruit and veg market made it easy to pick up great bbq food, and eating great fresh food, again with that view from the kitchen, was a perfect, simple pleasure. Thanks Herwig, and roll on next time!
