Great hide-away villa, tucked into the countryside, around 20 mins North East from Ericeira. Lovey open-plan space that can comfortably sleep 7-12 people (depending on privacy)- ultimately great for families. We visited at the end of October- 3 adults and 4 kids.
The place is built for families and the available facilities are great. Good size kitchen with great kit, a large dining table overlooking the rolling arable land, further dining areas outside (weather permitting), a BBQ on two levels, a good size pool, a pool house with a table tennis table and access to washing machine/tumble drier. Also 3 separate toilets.
The downstairs shower (ground floor), didn’t work when we were there, but that wasn’t really an issue for us (for larger parties >7 it may be). The hosts were very good and always available for queries, local advice or issues and the cleaner/maintenance lives within a km from the house.
We will go back when the weather is hotter, as the facilities can be enjoyed more! Nearest large shop approx 15 mins to Mafra, also many shops in Ericeira. We recommend that novice surf families can stay here, but an hour up the road is Peniche, with sand-break beaches, meaning more comfortable and safe surfing conditions!!!
The WiFi at the place is incredibly weak, so we ended up eating loads of data to watch films in the evenings when back at the house.
If you’re looking for a family focus/get away from it all, this is your place. You’re not far from civilisation and the neighbours are friendly too.
