The place is very organized and it will be something that encourage me to bring new ideas. It's located in a little peaceful town and I loved the local experience surrounded by nature and lots of hiking trails to see. And of course surf lessons are super fun and absolutely beautiful!! I am grateful. Thank you!

I had such a nice stay at mobs the guest house!! Mariana was super nice and always ready to help and answer any questions. The lodge itself was cozy and since I stayed here in off-season very calm. Would completely recommend only little thing would be that it's quite remote. To go anywhere you have to take the bus and go to Cascais or sintra. Those are easy to visit though and around the lodge there are couple of nice hikes :)

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I really enjoyed my time! 🌞 It's a very calm and relaxed area. The hostel is not to big so you don't get overwhelmed . Mariana was a very and caring host! I could always join the surfing and the yoga when it was possible and I also joined one of the tours. The work is very easy and you have a lot of time to chill.
