The house is wonderful and decorated with care. The hosts were great and helpful and always available to respond to our questions and requests. We had amazing biological eggs from the farm next door available at our arrival. It's quite easy to access very nice beaches in the surroundings, but ideally you need a car. Everything was mostly perfect : )

This was such a pleasant surprise of a rural hotel. The receptionist was so friendly. The room was comfortable, clean, and spacious. He comped our breakfast in the morning which was plentiful. There is a gorgeous little balcony with a jacuzzi. And lots of common room seating throughout. Just such a sweet little stop if you are passing through!

The house was clean and cosy. The location is ideal for beach access. All amenities are quite close and easily accessible by car. Lisbon is only a pleasant less than one hour drive away so there you go!

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!
