It was really good thanks. Ralph (and his team) were really friendly and helpful.  The rooms were really nicely decorated and the garden was beautiful.  The surf instructors were really helpful and friendly too (better than last time), and they really looked after everyone.  There was also a better ratio of instructors to pupils.  And to top it all the area is really beautiful and there's plenty of history and non-active things to do (if you are that way inclined!) - Richard, Surrey

Great place to relax and let go. Your hosts will make all arrangements necessary for the kind of getaway vacation you like. If you want to relax and be alone, have a swim and jacuzzi, you can do that. If you would like to enjoy local sporting activities like hiking, surfing, mountain climbing/biking or yoga, all this can be arranged for you by the knowledgable and competent staff. I loved the hiking trails and breakfasts. Overall, clean, tidy and first rate - Michelle & David, Paris

Very nice location close to the beach. We just have come back from a marvelous vacation where we stayed for one week at the lodge. Ralph and Fabian, the owners, were wonderful hosts always making sure that everything was perfect. We definitely enjoyed staying there with our little 16 months old daughter. The lodge offers a nice pool with surrounding, jaccuzi and sauna. Every morning we were served with a healthy and very tasty breakfast. The lodge is perfectly located. within 10 minutes walk, Praia Grande beach can be reached which offers good surf and beach life. There are so many activities one could do in that area. Surfing, climibing, biking, horseback riding and even yoga classes which are offered directly in the lodge. To make a long story short, we really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. The rooms are clean, tidy and nicely furnished. Perfect location for families and singles. We definitely will come back

Elegant Simplicity. The Lodge has been completed to a very high standard, which at first, due to the simplicity of the surrounds, may not be apparent. On inspection the materials used in the individual bedrooms, converted from the Villa stables of yesteryear, are beautifully made and matched together. Driftwood picture frames are placed throughout the Lodge with a variety of relaxing images; polished cement floors in bedroom and bathrooms blend with glowing natural wood shelving and modern chrome bathroom fixtures. The grounds of the Lodge are extensive, allowing a person to wander off and enjoy some peace and quiet in a corner of the beautiful garden; alternatively areas such as the pool, the yoga space and the communal lounge and patio make it easy to congregate and share the days story. Whilst I used the Lodge for its ease of access to surfing Praia's Grande and Pequeno the hosts have made every effort to bring all the natural charms of the area to their guests. Aside from surfing their are local experts on climbing, mountain biking, yoga and more are all available. But how about those times when anything but exercise is desired? Again the staff came to the rescue, suggesting great local restaurants at night and cafes during the day, or informing you how to reach the many Sintra and area attractions from history. Rather than go on and on I should simply say, "It was great, and I look forward to being there again"  - Mark, Dubai

The Lodge....everything you could ever want from a holiday. We had an amazing stay at The Lodge itself is set inside a walled garden,well maintained and looked after with the most beautiful well established trees and plants. My children had plenty of space to explore and play and, for me, there was plenty of relaxing areas to chill and soak up the atmosphere. We used the pool twice a day which was always clean and great fun.The interior of the accommodation and main house was always immaculately clean and is stunningly furnished. Stylish recycling of wood and cork have been used and it reminded me of a beautiful pousada where we once stayed in Paraty Brasil. Our room was incredible,very comfortable bed, fabulous shower and the attention to detail was impeccable. I noticed every room was different and unique but with the same stunning rustic theme running through out. The common kitchen was extremely well equipped and large enough to cook for 20! The main house has good internet connection and is very comfortable and relaxing. Breakfast was served between 8 and 10 with a beautiful buffet with the option of making a healthy and substantial lunch from it. The owners and staff were extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the surrounding area. Any activity you wish to do is no problem for them to sort out. The beach Praia Grande is a 10 minute walk and it was perfect for me to have a quick surf in the morning before spending the day with my family. The coastline is beautiful and unspoiled with miles and miles to explore. I can recommend the trip that we did,we took the old tram,which leaves not far from The Lodge,up to Sintra,very cheap and thoroughly enjoyable 10 Euro for 2 adults and 2 children. Then we took a 'hop on hop off' bus up to the Moorish Castle and Palace Pena. Breathtaking views and historically very interesting. The bus ticket was valid for 2 days as there is so much to visit and explore up there,with a high wire course through the trees. We stopped in Old Sintra for food and wine and found an amazing outdoor restaurant next to the Paris Square,the atmosphere was buzzing with happy friendly people then a short taxi ride back down to The Lodge costing only 13 Euro. To arrive back at The Lodge and have the option of a hot tub,sauna or pool (or all 3) was a perfect end to a perfect day. The Lodge,I believe,has something to offer everyone of all ages,a great balance of an activity driven holiday with a positive,calming and relaxing feel to it. We are already planning a return trip. Its always good to mention at least one negative point or people tend to think the place is too good to be true, I did find one, at night time the pool was in the shade!!! That's all I could find

Sintra's two main beaches are Praia das Macas and Praia Grande. Both are perfect beginner/intermediate beaches and are some of the most consistent surf beaches in the whole Lisbon-Sintra area. North and South of these beaches are many small coves and beautiful hidden beaches that provide any exploring surfer with plenty to get excited about!

Close by is Praia Guincho, a spectacular long beach with different peaks, perfect for learning and can get big and windy in the afternoon, so morning is always the best bet here.

Ericeira is only 30 minutes drive and is definitely worth a day trip at least, it has dozens of surf beaches to offer including the famous point break Ribeira D'Ilhas and also the relaibale beach break Foz do Lizandro.

Further South is Cascais and Lisbon with an endless supply of different surf beaches for all standards.
