General Overview
We have a unique property set in 24,000sqm of countryside 10mins from the world surf reserve town of Ericeira, Portugal, (45 mins from Lisbon) with private swimming pool and skateboard bowl.
A short drive from several beaches, great seafood restaurants, bars & cafes.
We're a middle aged couple, with two adult children and the apartment's beneath our family home, so generally someone will be around for advice or help.
It's is a calm space, perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing break!
The Space
You will be staying in one of two, one bedroom self contained apartments on the ground floor. You have your own private entrance and doors that lead out onto an amazing patio, with salt water swimming pool & skate bowl. Where you can enjoy blissful views of the countryside and ocean.
The bedroom has two comfortable single beds, a chair, and space to hang/store clothes. Next door is a classic tiled bathroom with a shower cabin.
You also have your own private, large living/dining room to relax in, with comfy sofas, and coffee table, reading material, and underfloor heating, in the winter, if needed.
If you feel like eating in, there is a table and fully equipped kitchenette, with everything you might need. It has a kettle, cafetiere and toaster, plus an oven, induction hob, integrated fridge and dishwasher.
The space is designed for comfort, so can be enjoyed by all, at anytime of year. Couples, and families with older children will feel equally at home here.
It makes the ideal base from which to explore the area, and the plentiful activities which are available; hiking, horse riding, paddle boarding, surfing and yoga, amongst many others.
Guest Access
The apartment is on the ground of the property, but there are cobbles on the patio, and several large concrete drops, (including obviously the skate bowl), hence the space is not safe/suitable for young children, or the very elderly.
Notes
The ground floor apartments are generally used as short term holiday rentals, so there maybe guests in the apartment next door during your stay.
It is our family home so the upper floors will generally be occupied by us, and the outdoor space is shared by all, including our three friendly dogs!
