Bruno could not make it to meet us but his sister Liliana was the perfect host during our stay at the windmill. We have rarely met such a kind and caring person who made us feel very much at home. The windmill itself is an experience one should not miss. We enjoyed our stay very much and I regret we could not spend more time here. The mill by the way is fully functional but still completely equipped with whatever one might need for a comfortable stay. One of the two day's stay was overshadowed by a very strong storm with lots of rain and wind up to 120 km/h. In the surrounding area, lots of trees fell and it was pretty scary to stay in such an unusual house. As city people from Germany we experience weather normally not so much, and I was seriously afraid the wind could damage the mill and its wings or even the roof, that is movable (as said the mill is functional and the roof needs two move to the direction of the wind). There was lot of noise and strange sound during that night, but nothing happened, the windmill protected us nicely. So it is weatherproof and suitable not only for summertime! Again: please check it out if you are around Lisbon or Mafra or Ericeira (which is only a few minutes drive away).
