Surf Lisbon - The House

The location is great, close to great surf spots, and easy to get into Lisbon. The Surf House was super cool and chilled. The people there are amazing and make you feel so welcome. I'll definitely be back!

The instructors are the best. Great tips to improve and progressed so much. Could ask for more!

The surf house felt like a massive family and I left with really great friends - both with the other guests as well as the instructors and staff. The house is super nice and chill with great spaces to hang out with other guests. Huge shout out to Diogo, Tomas, Bruno and Luisa for all the concern when I had a little personal incident on a night out! You guys are the best!!

The instructors are amazing and super patient. Not only do you get great surf lessons, they're basically life coaches as well with huge amounts of wisdom to impart! :)

It was my second time at the house and I can't wait to get back.

The breakfast in the morning is great. At around 8:30 everyone staying in the house will find different kinds of bread rolls that can be toasted. A selection of yoghurts, ham, cheese, at least two types of jam, honey, cereales and different kinds of milk (almond, soy based, lactose free and cow). To drink there will be a coffee machine, Tea, pre made juices and a juicer with cooled down oranges.

Loved it! The instructors are great and help you to progress a lot!
Like I said before can't wait to be there again!

Lovely house. Facilities (bathroom) could be nicer

Brilliant instructors. Very patient

Great place, close to the beach. 15min away from Lisbon by train which is super convenient. You have a few restaurants & a grocery store nearby. Shared bathroom was clean, as well as the kitchen. The breakfast buffet was definitely enough to get you started on your surfing day :)

Great lessons ! Teachers are super helpful, giving out the best tips to help you improve your skills. I'd definitely take lessons with them again :)

Absolutely amazing holiday I loved every minute of it and would highly recommend this place to anyone - everything was spot on. The staff were extremely welcoming and everything was really well organized in the villa. The house was clean and the room was nice and spacious. Location is great - the villa is right opposite a beach with a few minutes walking distance to the train station getting you into Cascais and Lisbon in less than 30 mins.

The instructors where absolutely incredible, extremely patient, attentive, super persistent and eager for you to learn and above all they were so friendly and fun. I felt like I was in very professional hands and safe at all times. I received some really good tips and advice from all of them.

Clean, beautiful accommodation with soft comfy beds + only 25 mins from the city! What’s more to love :) staff were all super helpful and everyone staying was also super lovely!

So so much fun! Helped us improve all the points we wanted to improve in our surfing while also letting us have fun! We loved it and will be visiting again

Absolutely brilliant holiday and I would recommend staying here to anyone, whether they want to surf or not! The team make you totally at ease and it was such a fun holiday. Location is perfect - walking distance to the train into Lisbon and Cascais. The surf house is beautiful - clean and spacious.

The instructors are brilliant - encouraging, fun, enthusiastic and totally uncomplaining about essentially having to push people on surfboards for several hours! I felt I got more confident through the week.

The accommodation were great. Slightly dated but in a nice way of adding charm to the place. The hosts really great and instructors are amazing. Really loved every part of it specially for the price.

Yes took lessons. The instructors were amazing and the beaches were beautiful

The accomodation was really cute. I was lucky that not many guests were staying there which is why it was really quiet and chill. There is a nice beach bar close to the hostel and the train station is directly next to it as well. By train, you can go into the city within 15min.

The surf lessons were a lot of fun and the instructors really cool and nice. It would be nice to go to some different beaches (we went to Peniche and another one) and it would be good if the instructors would give more tips to all people - sometimes they focused a bit too much on a couple of people.

Rooms and common places very clean and tidy.

Guides vere very friendly and professional. Would highly recommend!

The accommodation was very clean and nice, felt like home.
There is a nice beach bar couple of minutes walking distance from the surf house.
The view from the room and living room is amazing, the first thing you see is the ocean. It kind of sets the mood for a day.

The instructors were very helpful, took care of everyone well and were such positive people cracking jokes all the time. :))

Great house, every thing inside!
Clean and big.

The instructions been really good, all the time look after me and give tips

The surf house was very easy to find/get to from the centre of Lisbon. The beach was within walking distance and very easy to get to. The area has a lovely beach bar, which served good food and great cocktails. Lovely family run fish restaurant was a 10/15mins walk away. Great service and food was amazing! (I can't remember the names, unfortunately!)

Loved my surf lessons, all the instructors were really helpful and supportive. They made the experience so much fun, for a complete beginner. The beach was beautiful and we stayed there some afternoons when weren't surfing.

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

Accommodation was good. Only complaint was the noise from the road. If possible double/triple glazing windows would help with that. Location was good- accessible to central
Lisbon and other nice areas near by. Local restaurants were great.

Beaches were excellent and instructors were good. Although on occasion they were surfing themselves.

The house is really beautiful. The staff are really welcoming.

Getting there by train from the airport was super easy, I wouldn’t bother taking a taxi.

The train station in a 2-3 minute walk away, and you can get to one of Lisbon’s main stations in about 12 mins.

People did a mix of staying in and cooking, and going into Lisbon at night for dinner and drinks.

The super market is one train stop away from the house, but this isn’t as daunting as it sounds, I’d done a full shop and was back within 40 mins.

Most people in the house when I arrived were on their 3rd or 4th visit to the house and I totally understand why, I would definitely go back

You get picked up at 9:30am, and get back around 6:30pm. There’s a nice break in the middle of the day to grab lunch and sunbathe. It’s worth noting that there’s only one cafe on this beach and you can’t really go anywhere in the break, but that was fine by me.
The beach is beautiful with perfect, almost fluffy sand.
All of the instructors were fab, helpful and really good fun.

House was great, very welcoming and clean. All guests were very friendly. The house is right next to a train station and main road, so transport is easy. There are some small shops about 5 mins walk away, or bigger shops at the next train station.

The accommodation was fantastic, but the one thing I'd suggest is a fan or something to keep the rooms cool at night

Excellent! The instructors were very approachable and knowledgeable.

The accommodation provided at Surf House Lisbon was of the highest quality. We stayed in the loft and loved the quirky details that made the house so special. There was so much more space than in a standard shared room in a hostel. The house is big, bright and very welcoming. There was always space to sit and relax, and the big dining table was a lovely feature. All the bathrooms are clean and well maintained, I don't think I queued once. The garden is very large and we used it a lot through out our stay. We could not have been more impressed.

The town itself is pretty small and very quirky, with a larger town (and larger supermarket!) one stop on the train line. The fish restaurant came highly recommended, however this was shut during our stay- next time!

I would also like to add that this surf house would be perfect as a solo traveler- super welcoming and so friendly.

We booked the beginner surf package and loved our time at the beach! The surf instructors are amazing (don't tell them though, they'll get a big head!!)

I had surfed previously and my friend had not. We were both looked after so well in the water at all times. My friend was a little anxious in the sea and the instructors took special care to make sure she was comfortable and was having fun! I was pushed my the instructors and definitely saw an improvement by the end of the week.

The beach was huge, beautiful and clean. There are only restaurants, no shops to buy lunch, but a range of prices are available to suit each budget. We had an amazing time on the beach, and the experience was enhanced by knowing everyone from the house. Surfing in a group is always more fun!

Nuno is a gracious, hospitable host. He goes above and beyond to ensure guests have an enjoyable stay.

The instructors were attentive and caring. Surfing is not natural for me so their informative feedback was a critical reason I was able to stand up and ride a wave. They are kind and funny as well :)

Great vibe! Clean, grand facilities. Close to a train station making it accessible to the city & local villages.

Great instructors - very friendly & easy to chat too. Very relaxed and made us feel comfortable.

Accomodation was very good.

Surf lessons were pretty good and the instructors really looked after each. As the groups were quite small, instructors had the chance to give individual feedback to us.

We had a great time in Lisbon. Accommodation was excellent (spotlessy clean) and Nuno and the team where so welcoming, friendly and helpful for the duration. 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!

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.

The surf house has a great atmosphere. Nuno's house you will find space for yourself where ever you are coming from. House is very clean and good organized. Big thank you for our housekeeper. The house has few bathrooms, big dining room, and kitchen. You can relax after all-day surfing or organize some garden party with barbeque. Nearby you can find some restaurants with delicious food and nice service.

All instructors are qualified and keeping an eye for all students. Instructors have long experience working with people and read the ocean. so they try to find great spots to surf and they help with gain better surfing skills. Those people are full of passion for surfing. I can say they are just great guys with a big sense of humour. During practice with, them you can feel progress in surfing. Thank you all for a great time and help in catching a wave

The house was great- a big old house designed with a lot of thought and simply beautiful. There is a great grocery store 1 train stop away- everything is easily accessible as the train is less than a 5 min. walk away and the ocean is in front of the house.

The surf lessons were great. All of the instructors were really nice and genuine, took their time and gave great tips. Everyone was standing on their boards on day one- it's staying up thats the challenge;)

It was very pleasant. I realized when I got there that the place did not have a washer or dryer to use and the laundromat/cleaners nearby closed for the week a few days into my stay. Luckily I had enough clothes to last me a week. I will likely pick another accommodation with laundry the next time and take classes with surf camp. The organizing assistant at the time and the house cleaner were extremely helpful in guiding me to sight see. The crowd I lived with were fun to hang out with and all of us have made new friends.

Instructors were very kind and motivating. A very good atmosphere to learn. The waves were docile enough to practice the basics. I’m more confident on a board now and have picked up foundational knowledge for the future.

Great staff.. spotless clean.. small town

Amazing crew

The surf house was great. Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and spacious. Communal areas were really good and the whole feel of the place was laid back. The only draw back was that there was only one local restaurant, but Lisbon centre was not far away.

Instructors were very good and the beach was nice. Great place to chill for lunch also in the shade which was essential for my pale skin!

The room was ok, however the outside is very noisy - busy road on the front, train on the back. My room was advertised as garden view but was actually street view. Earplugs are highly advisable. There's not much going on in the area otherwise, but as it's only a 20 minute train ride from Lisbon it's not too bad. There is one restaurant which was unfortunately closed when we got there, supermarket a train stop away. The advertised honesty bar doesn't exist. I would however recommend it and go again. The beaches are beautiful.

The beach was quite a bit further away than expected but beautiful once you're there. Unfortunately there weren't many waves when we were around, maybe a different beach would have worked better. Instructors were all really helpful and friendly, however somewhat distracted.

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.
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

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.

Lisbon Surf House is the place to be if you looking for nice accommodation and really friendly and professional instructors for your trip. 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

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.

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 awesome- you can visit the city in the morning and surf on the afternoon, and still make it again to the city for the crazy night life.

The surf house is anonymously placed at the end of a small street in a small town just outside of Lisbon, but once inside you have a fully equipped house in good standard and with a private beach styled backyard to yourself and the other surf guests. The nature of the house is a bit like a high standard collective rather then a hotel, where you will get to know the other guests and have the possibility to get a lasting relation. Breakfast is served everyday by the staff, and for dinner you are encouraged to either go out with the other guests or arrange a barbecue in the hotel backyard where the surf instructions might join in.

The house is very cozy and cute. Good dinning rooms, living rooms and shared rooms. But it’s very noisy at night because of the trains and cars. Not very comfortable beds at shared rooms.

Instructors are very positive and nice, but they didn't give a lot of tips, only some of them gave corrections, some of them were indifferent.
The beach was very nice.

Surf House is clean and tidy. The rooms facing the main road are a bit noisy. Little seaside town has everything you need a bakery, corner shop and restaurant.

Awesome surf lessons! Felt really safe with the instructors even when the waves got a bit bigger. My surfing has really improved in just two days.

Nuno and Marta are the loveliest hosts and the accommodation at Surf Lisbon House was absolutely beautiful. The house is lovely and staying there really does feel like a big family and not a hostel. The house is so light and airy, the bathrooms clean and showers hot, the garden large, and the kitchen so well equipped for cooking.

Caxias has nice places to explore including a beach, a skate park, and a really good fish restaurant.

It is 5 minutes walk from the train station and so has easy access to loads of places; a large supermarket, Cascais town, Belem (and the original pasteis de nata), Lisbon.

The surf lessons were so much fun!

In summer you spend all day at the beach; you are picked up at about 9:30, have one lesson in the morning, a break for lunch/nap, another lesson in the afternoon, then are driven back to the house for about 18:30.
A bus goes to Lisbon to pick more people up for each surf lesson but there are always plenty of instructors and only about 5 students per instructor.

All the instructors are incredible; so friendly, knowledgeable and make such a fun atmosphere. They really look after you and make you feel very safe, even for people who had never been in the sea before. Literally everyone loved their time surfing (and stood up) and loved Surf Lisbon.

I choose Lisbon as a 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 cosy!
Hosts - Nuno is great! Period. He is warm and helpful - ready to make the experience unforgettable. I fully recommend!

I am a beginner and level of waves was perfect, beach was really nice.

Four of us 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.
This was a great experience as I was travelling alone and had no idea what to expect.
Hope to go back one day!

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.

Nice House

Bruno, Hugo, Elias, Thiago and Luis have a lot of experience. Really good instructors.

100% recommend! The house is beautiful, big enough so everyone has their own space but it's decorated very homey and cosy. Great views from the front windows out to the ocean. Big outdoor space outback, good for having your breakfast or chilling with a book after a exhausting day out catching the surf :)

The surf lessons were great. Teachers were professional, kind and motivational. Always happy to give you a free push to catch a wave! It was my first time surfing but I picked it up quickly, thanks to the patient teachers.

Nice big house, very social, all you needed

Instructors were epic, nice guys, knew there stuff and helped me heaps

The house was amazing, the nicest hostel I've ever stayed in. The layout was so condusive to a friendly atmosphere and it was very relaxed. The location is a bit out of the centre (you need to get a 20 minute train/uber) but that was far less of an issue than I anticipated.

The surf lessons were great, the instructors were amazing, the beaches were nice.

The accommodation was wonderful, the staff were great and the house was lovely and clean. It was very little effort to get to Lisbon on the train to spend the evening having drinks and eating out.

I'd never surfed before and the gang of instructors couldn't have been better. I was standing up within three days (not bad for someone with zero balance) and never felt like I was unsafe: I progressed so much over the week and ended up taking an extra day of lessons because I had enjoyed it so much.

great design, very comfortable.
the town is rather small but you find everything there.
easy, cheap and fast to get to Lisbon
there is a great fish/meat restaurant
the road is rather busy and the train goes directly there

best experience ever, the instructors were super professional friendly and helpful!
I just simply loved the crew, can only tell the best about them - thanks to them I achieved a lot more than expected.
we were best taken care of and the beaches were just great!

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. I enjoyed my stay a lot and are looking forward to come back soon!

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!

The house was great, with good communal areas for guests to hangout, with a garden at the back, bathrooms were kept clean. Good kitchen & fridge facilities for cooking. It's 5 mins away from the train station which was convenient. Just be reminded that the trains into the city centre are not very frequent, every 20-30 minutes.

The one beach that I went to was great (cant remember the name), the first lesson I did not actually get much instruction and the instructors were more focused on the surfers who have already had a few days of lessons. The second and third day were better with having support from them. I was told that the waves were better and current was less during high tide, so it would have been useful if we can go out during high tide as well.

Very cozy accommodation and welcoming hosts!

Very attentive instructors!! Had a great experience!

Loved the surf house! It is beautiful and has a lot of character. It's in a perfect place very close to Lisbon but also on the train line to prettier areas for tourist. Also five minutes walk away is the best grill restraint that they will tell you about it was so good I ate there every day because I couldn't find any other place that was up to that standard! But most importantly they create a friendly environment where ale trying becomes friends and has fun together, yet you can still have your own privacy.

The instructors where awesome I loved Bruno! He was great o went to the same beach every time and it would have been nice to go to a different one too also they took us on one day that was so bad everyone was just crashing on a day like this it would have been good to be told to go another day instead j also took one more lesson but didn't know that I didn't pay for it so it would have been nice to be told before hand that I would have to pay for this. Otherwise it was awesome

Grate location. A good restaurant is near. Also train station is close so it was easy to go see Lisbon. Breakfest should change time to time

Instructors were really friendly but I was expecting a little more teaching. Beaches were Ok. It depends so much how the waves are so one day it was good then other not so much

The accommodation was hygenic and high-spec, and also felt homely and relaxing. A bit of improvisation required for hanging up wet things - designated hooks etc. might be useful. Nice big garden, and a practical and clean kitchen.

Good, enthusiastic surf instructors. They paid attention to all learners and gave useful advice. The beaches were good too, and appropriate for the conditions.

Room was great and welcome met the highers standards, thanks to Nuno.

Instructors were both good and nice, really looking after us.

Accommodation was as great, very clean with a lovely local restaurant a 5 min walk away which served the best fish I’ve ever tasted. 20minute train ride from lisbon city centre and only a 15 minute drive to the surf beach made it an ideal location.

Surf lessons were very good, the instructors were great fun and explained things very well.

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 whole thing was really good value for money. Would love to return sometime.

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.

We had a great time at Surf Lisbon House & School! Would recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent surf holiday. The house is lovely, really comfortable, and right on the coast too, so there are great views and walks right on your doorstep. Very easy to access either Lisbon or Cascais by train, so you've plenty of options for things to do and places to go before or after surfing. Plus there are some restaurants and bars nearby if you don't feel like heading too far afield. Can't recommend this place enough!

Surfing with Surf Lisbon was amazing. The lessons are great fun and you'll learn a ton from Bruno and the guys. From day one we were given instruction and the guys kept giving us tips throughout the week to help us improve. We surfed mainly at Carcavelos beach and the conditions were great for us to progress each day.

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.
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

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.

The accommodation was fantastic. The team who run Surf Lisbon are all lovely people and made me welcome straight away, not just at the hostel but out on the water too.

Lisbon is great city to visit. I covered a great distance of the city centre during my stay, but still have more to see therefore will be returning later on this year. 2 or 3 stops down you can visit Belém tower. Alternatively I would recommend visit Cascais a beautiful town, which is the last stop in other direction. The public transport is easy to use as well.

The surf lessons were great all the instructors I met on the days were very helpful with in giving tips to improve my surfing abilities.

The beaches were amazing, I surfed at two beaches during my stay. The waves were nice and clean and the weather was on point too.

Accommodation was fantastic. The whole house was beautiful - the design was stunning. The town was quiet and relaxed with a good beach for sunbathing.

The lessons was brilliant. The instructors were very thorough and attentive. And most of all encouraging! The beach was lovely. Very beautiful, clean and expansive.
