Description
We are four Italians passionate about the beautiful Portugal, surfing, good food and Yoga.
We run a small Surfhouse located just off Ericeira, right on the hills between the Foz do Lizandro and Sao Juliao surf spots. The house is a typical Portuguese villa , with a large courtyard and a big garden where you can chill and enjoy a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and the powerful sun!
Now our big family is growing up, so you will find at your arrival also three little kids (when they are not staying in their homes) and other two staff members :-)
If you are looking for a sunny place to stay and work, only a few minutes from beautiful beaches and waves and with an easy going and relaxed atmosphere, you will like our Surfhouse!

What else ...
We are on the top of the hill just outside Ericeira, an old fishermen village featuring typical light-blue and white houses facing the ocean. Restaurants and night clubs are increasingly crowded by tourists every year. You can enjoy the fresh fish that arrives daily at the little harbor as well as the warm welcoming of the locals.
Getting around from the house is very easy: daily transfer to-from beach and Ericeira are included in our packs! Furthermore you can use our bikes for free, take the bus which stops just a few steps from the house, rent a scooter or take a stroll and reach the two nearby beaches throught beautiful trail. Then, if you want to get more serious with walking, you can plan with us a trekking inside Sintra and Cascais Natural Park which begins near the house.

This was my first work away experience and I couldn’t be more lucky. I felt right away at the right place, because the atmosphere felt so familiar to me.
