We were 8 people (3 adults, 2 teenagers and 2 young boys and a baby). The house is very spacious and well equipped. The pool and outdoor kitchen area lovely.
Ericeira is a very nice town and there are lots of great beaches around. Lots of great surfing in the area. Not all beaches are suitable for young kids as the waves can sometimes be very strong but we found 2 beaches with natural pools that were great for younger children.
You need a car. The road outside the house does not have a footpath or hard shoulder and the town is a few km away. It’s also nice to be able to go to different beaches if one has a red flag one day.
The downside of our stay was the busy road outside the house. There was a large volume of traffic night and day. No other reviews have commented on this but everyone in my party found it disturbing (we were a mixture of Danes and Irish).
Joana was a very helpful host and gave us very good restaurant recommendations. She couldn’t of course fix the noise.....
