Style Notes

Hipster cool, surfer chic. This newly built, modern hotel is welcoming with a relaxed vibe. All of the apartments have high quality bed linens and are decorated in neutral whites with soft blues and sunny yellows that echo the beach. Furniture is mid-century modern in style with soft, colorful rugs strewn on wooden floors. The lovely Jangada Restaurant has a view of the sea and uses recycled wood and iron for decorative detail. We love the fish mural and other sea-inspired wall art dotted playfully throughout the hotel, the swimming pool with a view, and the fabulous facilities on-site.

We had a great stay at the You and the Sea Residence. The 3 bedroom 2 bath apartment was super spacious and well appointed and great value for the size. We were very comfortable! Highlights included the amazing garden / football pitch / playground / skate ramp! across the street that are for the exclusive use of hotel guests. The beach is small but only a short walk away and the charming village of Ericeira about a 15 minute walk with lots of good restaurants. We navigated it easily with my 13, 10 and 4 year old. We coupled the trip with time in Lisbon but I think having a car would be a good idea to explore the neighboring areas if you were going to stay for longer than a few days. The pool is half inside - half outside which is a little awkward. More seating around the pool and in the grassy area outside to accommodate guests would be welcome. The breakfast was delicious as were the pizzas but the overall menu was a little limited. It's not a resort type hotel stay but overall it's a great choice for a more adventurous family who likes to explore.
