I can’t imagine a more perfect place to stay in this area of Portugal. This was a last minute change of itinerary for us and a highlight of the trip. The house has so much character and so well appointed. The location is very close, just minutes to the coastline. Our room was very nice and bed super comfortable. The breakfast was amazing. 10 stars!

Our room was perfect and the staff went way out of their way to make it special for us, including writing sweet messages for us to come home to after dinner.

    The breakfast was great! We loved all of the fresh healthy options plus a few treats as well. The location was great. Nice and close to Lisbon. All of the activities offered were fantastic and our two kids had a ball with the skateboarding lessons. A shout out to Thomas who taught our boys during the lessons. The boys really enjoyed their time with him. The surfing lessons were also great, in such a perfect location too. Would definitely recommend Noah’s!
