Reviews (14)
4 out of 5

The House can accommodate up to 18 guests in 4 splendid private rooms and 2 shared rooms, all sharing three comfortable bathrooms. Guests have access to all the common areas: cosy living room with big LCD screen, large dining room where breakfast (included) is served daily, sea view internet room, fully equipped kitchen, garden with barbecue facilites, free wireless internet, cable TV with free movies, bar service with sodas, beer, açai and even a special edition of a Red Wine from Algarve with Surf Lisbon´s label.

Location

Ocean front location in Caxias, a small village only 15 minutes away both from Lisbon´s historical city centre and Cascais. In Winter you just have to cross the street to score some waves and the most famous surbreaks around Lisbon are only between a 5 to 20 minute drive from the Surf House.

It was a great holiday, met some amazing people and the accommodation was more than I hoped for. The hosts were so friendly and helpful and the place wasn't too far from the centre of Lisbon which was convenient. The surf lessons were great fun. Had a really good time

We had a great time in Lisbon thanks, Accommodation was excellent (spotlessy clean) and Nuno and the team where so welcoming, friendly and helpful for the duration.  The surf lessons where great, we were all beginners and picked it up the surfing fairly quick, again the instructors where excellent and very friendly.We we’re taken to different beaches every day which was great as the instructors would know where the best waves would be given tides and weather conditions. We went into Lisbon most nights as there was little restaurants right near the accommodation but it was handy enough to hop on a train into Lisbon for the night.  Really good experience all round and we made a few friends there during our stay. We will look forward to going again! - Mark, Wicklow

I had a brilliant time at the Lisbon Surf House. Nuno was warm, welcoming and helpful, my room was clean, well organised, comfortable and bright. With regards to the house itself, if possible,  internal sound-proofing would be a good idea. The surfing lessons were great fun, all the instructors were attentive to us as individual learners and our safety at all times. The beaches opposite the house and where we actually went surfing were brilliantly clean, uncrowded and pleasant with very few tourists at all. I loved Lisbon city centre; it's old, very safe, beautiful, interesting and especially at night time, alive. I do think that with the multitude of cobble streets, steep hills and steps it is very challenging place to navigate for the very elderly and/ or disabled. I had fish every day as it was so fresh and flavoursome and thoroughly enjoyed the traditional desserts. The cost of food and drink, entry to attractions, public transport etc. was very reasonable. Although a little out of town, It was very quick and easy to get to and from Lisbon surf house by public transport and taxi. All in all, I had an incredible time

Had an amazing time at Lisbon Surf House! Easy to get to & find from his directions. Nice house (better than staying at a hostel). Felt very welcomed by Nuno and his wife (although they don’t stay there). Room was clean and comfy. Lessons were great and the instructions passionate about what they do. Belongings were safe on the beach and all equipment a good standard. Beaches were clean generally along with the sea. Found some nice places to go out around the surf house area. Went into the centre of Lisbon once but didn’t really enjoy it - got hassled by drug pushers and by people selling tat! Overall good value for money - took €400 for the both of us, ate really well and still had €50 left! Would definitely go back

We had a fantastic time.  The house was absolutely lovely, both guests and staff. Nuno was particularly welcoming to my friend who was too late to book into the accom but came for the lessons and spent lots of time with us at the house. Definitely wished we booked for longer. The surf lessons were great especially for beginners like us. Unfortunately the waves weren't great on the last day but other than that no complaints. The whole thing was really good value for money. Would love to return sometime en & William, London

I had a great time at the Lisbon surf house. Travelled on my own and was really well looked after by Nuno at the house and by his team of instructors (who are by the way handsome and perfect gentlemen).  Absolutely recommend a stay here and having some fun in the waves!

I had a great stay in the Lisbon Surf House. The only bad thing about the stay was that it was too short! Susana & Nuno are super friendly and make you feel welcome and like home from the first second. The house is decorated with lots of love for the details. You do surfing every day and drive to the location where you have the best waves. Nuno has a lot of patience during the surf lessons. I enjoyed my stay a lot and are looking forward to come back soon!

I choose Lisbon as destination with few of my friends for our first surfing experience as it combines beautiful beaches and amazing city break. Accommodation - house is absolutely perfect - historic with so many vintage details but newly renovated filled with surfing artifacts, clean, spacious and very cozy! Hosts - Nuno is great! Period. He is warm and helpful - ready to make the experience unforgettable. Surfing - I am a beginner and level of waves was perfect, beach was really nice. I fully recommend! - Juraj, Croatia

I stayed at the Lisbon Surf House one weekend to learn to surf and it was great! Nuno and Susana make you feel very welcome by picking you up from the airport if required. The house is homey and stylish at the same time, and the perfect place to chill after a big day of surfing. It's close to the train station, so getting into the centre is easy and convenient. Everything is thought of and it makes for an extremely worry-free and fun experience! Would definitely, definitely recommend!

Four of us to stayed in the dorm room. Great facilities and good proximity to the north lisbon surf spots and really easy to access the more norther surf spots like Ericeira! Would happily recommend and the facilities make it even greater value!

From the minute Susanna met me at the airport I knew I was going to have a great trip. I really felt that Susanna, Nuno and David really care about their guests having a great experience at the Surf House. The traditional house and stylish decor are really well presented, clean and cosy. Perfect for relaxing after a long day surfing. Even the train basically running through the garden has its own charm! Stayed in the lovely attic room with a sea view, sharing room and bathroom with other guests, but this was no problem as its all laid out so well. Lovely breakfast! It was a like a homely hotel, nothing like a hostel and great value for money. There is a welcoming atmosphere created by the owners, and it helped that there was a great group of people staying there too. Some great nights of wine and food in the garden getting to know some interesting and amazing people from all over the world. Surf instructors were really dedicated and really want you to succeed, even when you feel like you can't swallow any more sea. Kept encouraging me and analysing my technique to help me improve. Great beach, time to chill between lessons and fantastic bar next to surf school. This was a great experience as I was travelling alone and had no idea what to expect. Hope to go back one day!

Lisbon Surf House is the place to be if you looking for nice accommodation and really friendly and professional instructors for your trip. We have surfed few times in other places, but never improved as much in short time as with LSH Surf lessons. The beach where we surfed in Caparica has nice sandy bottom and the waves suited well for first timers as well as little more experienced. And what really makes the difference, David, Nuno and the other guys really wanted us to learn to read the sea, get the waves and ride them properly, giving tips and feedback all the time. The location of the house is convenient also when you want to experience other things than waves. The Caxias train station is just few steps away and by train it is about 10/15 mins to Lisbon or 20 to Cascais in the other direction

I fell in love with Lisbon, and i couldn t find a better place to spend my vacations, the staff was amazing, they did everything to make me feel at home, the atmosphere and the vibe is the same that you see on the surf movies!! The location is awsome, you can get to visit the city in the morning and surf on the afternoon, and still make it again to the city for the crazy night life on those narrow streets like bairro alto where you can get cheap beer along with the best portuguese food on those tipical local restaurants.. For sure, not a place to come back, but to move for life

Downtown Lisbon city itself does not have a beach and walking around siteseeing you may be oblivious to the fact that dozens of beautiful white sandy surf beaches are only a 5 minute car drive away (Or 4 train stops!)

The surrounding beaches pick up all the swells the Atlantic have to offer making it one of the most consistent surf destinations in the World.

The area has a good selection for all standards. Closest to the city would be Caxias & Santo Amaro de Oeiras. Caxias is a beautiful beach that on its day can produce perfect lefthander barrels. Oeiras is more of a winter wave and is one of the best waves in Portugal.

Next stop is Carcavelos, probably Portugal's most famous wave. Its one of the best beach breaks in Europe and regularly hosts National competitions. It suits all standards, a perfect place to learn and a great place to score some fast beach barrels with multiple peaks along the 1km stretch of beach.

There are many other spots along the coastline that runs from Lisbon out to Estoril & Cascais. Long boarders will love Sao Pedro and short boarders will thrive on spots like Poca and Sao Joao. Then on the other side of Cascais there is the stunning long white sandy Guincho beach, one of Portugal's most consistent surf spots, usually best in the morning as it can be exposed to afternoon onshore winds.

Across the river Tejo in Setubal, a 20 minute drive away, is the less crowded Costa de Caparica. Perfect for beginner/intermediates as the man made jetties create nice consistent waves. The beach stretches for 30kms and all of it is surfable!

Lisbon is also a great base to explore other regions. The surf mecca of Ericeira is only 35 minutes drive away and 1 hour north is Peniche, host of the WSL World Tour every October.
