The space was very well designed, clean, and comfortable. Terrific use of an old windmill structure with stunning views of the surrounding valleys. Quiet, peaceful, and would recommend the Ericeira Windmill to those travelers looking for a place off the beaten path.

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback!
We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at the Ericeira Windmill and appreciated its unique charm and peaceful atmosphere. It’s truly a special place, and we’re so happy it met your expectations.
You’re always very welcome to come back anytime! 🌿✨
Booking was messed up and we did not receive access to this property, instead, we had to drive back to Lisbon to get an emergency stay for the night and looked for an alternative summer house.Very, very disappointing and poor service, but the on site guy, who took care of us and let us in to the apartment in Lisbon - he was great and did what he can.

Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We’re truly sorry for the inconvenience you experienced during your booking in June. At that time, there was a system issue that caused a few reservation mix-ups, but this has been fully resolved since then.
We now have a dedicated team available almost 24 hours a day to assist guests directly during their stay, ensuring that any issue can be solved immediately.
We’re glad to hear that our on-site colleague provided good support, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again under better circumstances.
