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!

We loved absolutely everything! Very big apartment- great for family with three kids- there were games for kids which they enjoyed. Super comfy beds, clean, lots of towels, freshly washed blankets. Big comfortable bathroom. Kitchen equipped with everything: ample amount of cutlery, cups, plates, bowls of all sorts and sizes. Microwave, electric kettle, coffee machine, toaster, stove (gas) dishwasher, washing machine, everything anyone would need! Lots of lamps and extensions. Pool was great! Little one and bigger one deep end around 2,5 meters. 5 minutes walk to the beach. Funny how there’s just one grocery shop, vegetables market and butcher and like five million of clothes shops 🤣🤣🤣 Communication with the property agency was effective- Mariana is the nicest and helpful person to deal with. We were arriving late evening and been delayed for hours and she was making sure we arrived safe to the apartment in the middle of the night. And there was welcome pack waiting for us- nice surprise ❤️

Very nice holiday accommodation, very well maintained surroundings (pool, tennis court, sports and basketball court, green areas and barbecue areas). Spacious flats with very good facilities. Easy to reach and safe. Our landlord has contacted us several times to ask if all is well, if there is anything we would like support/help with. This is very helpful in another country where you are not so familiar.

    Beautiful villas with private pool which are well appointed and well equipped. We stayed in the villa green with a family of 4 and it was the luxury and private space we hoped for. Having access to the hotel lobby, bar and pool (if you are over 16 years) was the cherry on top as it was peaceful and child free. The staff are all amazing and so friendly. Nothing is too much trouble! A perfect 5 star holiday place , we were blown away !

    Fun place with kids, lots of activities to do, skate, surf School, yoga etc. The near by Beach Santa Cruz was beautiful! The restaurant at Noah was okay, a little expensive compared to quality.

    Noah is perfect for a relaxed family holiday - even with smaller children. The staff is friendly, the location with seaview is amazing and the whole surf house is designed in a great style. They offer a lot of activities like surfing of course, yoga, skating or a barbecue at the terrace overlooking the sunset. The infinity pool was quite big and the water was heated. Santa Cruz is a really nice little town - we rented bikes at Noah's to explore the surroundings. We enjoyed it a lot and definitely wanna come again.

    We absolutely loved Noahs. The hotel is beautiful and exceeded my expectations. It was so chill - the perfect place to spend a week relaxing with the family. Great range of activities for the kids. The staff were all lovely and super helpful. The food was delicious - breakfast every morning was a great start to the day. The local village is lovely and it's so close to Lisbon and other places worth visiting.
