Space
The Lemon Lodge is a renovated farmhouse split into two unique self-sustainable lodgings. Water is pumped from the land, and the power is generated from the sun.
Surrounded by pine trees and situated on a hill, the suites have spectacular views of the valley and the food gardens.
The two lodgings are inviting, comfortable yet rustic, as inspired by nature.
Tikka is a large suite with two separate bedrooms and a rustic bathroom accommodating four people. The rooms surround you with sandy colours enhanced with rich wooden finishes.
The suite is perfect for family or friends and has a spacious equipped kitchen with oven to enjoy your home-cooked meals. In the private garden is a laid-back sitting area with stunning views of the valley that can be viewed from the hammock.
As we believe the kitchen to be the heart of the house, the suite comes with complimentary tea, locally roasted coffee and essential kitchen herbs to enjoy your homespun meals. The suite is also provided with handcrafted biodegradable soap and shampoo made locally in the valley.

Interaction
Driven by permaculture principles and a passion for living a sustainable lifestyle where nature sets the pace, four friends envisioned The Lemon Lodge. The joint hands of William & Michelle and Alex & Helena continuously work together to make The Lemon Lodge an eco-friendly farmstead that lives and breathes an enhancing way of life to inspire oneself and others.
Together with our booking partners from Property Manager, we’ll make sure that your holiday already starts from the first moment of contact.
Neighborhood
The Lemon Lodge is closely located to the village of Aljezur, which is less than a 10 min drive or 45 min by foot. The walks in this area are stunning, and fortunately, the Lodge is situated next to the famous Pilgrim walk "Rota Vicentina" with the option for a circular route.
Recently, this part of the Algarve has emerged as a surfers’ and hikers haven. Hugged by Cape St Vincent Natural Park and the beautiful mountains of Monchique, there are lots to explore by car, bike, horse or foot.

Notes
We ask our guests to leave their four-legged friends at home as we have four dogs, two cats, two horses and lots of chickens walking around the land.
★ We started in May 2021 and have had amazing reviews during this first season. Unfortunately, due to a change in administration, we had to change our account here and couldn’t take the reviews with. Therefore we’ve added a few print screens from our previous guests and their experiences at The Lemon Lodge. Happy readings

About the area
Praia da Luz, located in the Algarve region of Portugal, is a serene coastal town that beckons travelers with its picturesque landscapes, tranquil atmosphere, and friendly community. Known for its stunning beach, Praia da Luz is a haven for sun-seekers and families looking for a relaxing seaside getaway.
The town's main attraction is undoubtedly its expansive sandy beach, flanked by the iconic Rocha Negra cliff, a volcanic remnant that provides a dramatic backdrop to the azure waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The beach is well-equipped with sun loungers and parasols, making it an ideal spot for sunbathing, while the gentle slope of the seabed ensures safe swimming conditions, perfect for children and less confident swimmers.
Water sports enthusiasts will find plenty to keep them entertained, with opportunities for windsurfing, paddleboarding, and kayaking. The clear waters also make for excellent snorkeling and diving, with a variety of marine life to discover.
Beyond the beach, Praia da Luz offers a charming promenade lined with palm trees, where visitors can enjoy leisurely strolls and take in the sea views. The promenade is dotted with cafes, restaurants, and bars, offering a taste of the local cuisine, which is heavily influenced by the sea, featuring fresh fish and seafood dishes.
For those interested in history and culture, the town's 16th-century church, Igreja da Luz de Lagos, stands as a testament to the area's rich past. The church was partially destroyed in the 1755 earthquake but has since been restored, retaining its beautiful Manueline doorway.
Nature lovers can explore the surrounding landscape by hiking along the cliffs or venturing into the countryside to discover the region's flora and fauna. The nearby Boavista Golf & Spa Resort caters to golf enthusiasts, providing a world-class golfing experience with stunning views.
Day trips from Praia da Luz are also rewarding, with the historic town of Lagos just a short drive away, offering a larger selection of cultural attractions, including the Forte da Ponta da Bandeira and the Mercado de Escravos, Europe's first slave market.
In essence, Praia da Luz is a destination that offers a peaceful retreat with its beautiful beach, engaging activities, and proximity to cultural sites. It's a place where travelers can unwind, soak up the Portuguese sun, and enjoy the slower pace of life in this delightful corner of the Algarve.
