About this house rental
## 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.
Ziggurat is a spacious two-person suite with a private terrace where one can relax in the hammock or light up the barbecue.
The modern interior is mixed with rustic Portuguese details. The high ceiling and soft romantic colours make you feel right at home.
The suite has a large bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and overlooks the garden.
The living room has a fireplace and an open-plan kitchen that caters for all your needs.
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 Rental Valley, 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.
This whole part of the Algarve has, in recent years, emerged as a surfer's 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.
## Transit
✈︎ Faro to The Lemon Lodge, a 1-hour drive
✈︎ Lisbon to The Lemon Lodge is a 3,5-hour drive
We recommend having your car explore the beautiful surroundings. However, if you wish to discover the unbeaten tracks, we suggest renting a 4x4.
Once booked, we will send a clear route description on how to get here.
Please note that the road towards our lodge can be navigated with a regular car but it is not a paved road.
A pick-up can be arranged at the village of Aljezur when guests arrive after sunset.
## 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!

We simply loved our stay at the Lemon Lodge. It was without a doubt one of the most unique and beautiful places we ever slept in. The setting on top of the hill, being surrounded by nature, the discreet and helpful owners, the stylish and spacious appartment: it all made our first visit to the Algarve unforgetable. Highly recommended.

We fell in love with the Lemon Lodge and were super sad we could only stay three nights.
Yes, the drive up there is adventurous but once you’ve mastered the bumpy ride, you get rewarded with the most amazing setting. The house is beautifully designed, very well equipped and the colours and lighting are stunning and well thought through. We got to meet Michelle, who is such a lovely person. The dogs and cats came to visit us regularly which we loved. We explored the premises which are vast and absolutely beautiful. What a great place! We hope to be back again someday.

It was a great experience to stay there!
A beautiful house and a fantastic garden in a beatiful surrounding.
Managed by nice people
Access by road is in rainy season a bit of a challange but definately manageable

If you’re looking for a place to completely escape from the hustle of bustle of every day life, this is it. The Lemon Lodge offered a true retreat. My partner and I spent 3 nights here and didn’t leave the property. It was so quiet and peaceful that we didn’t want to break the spell of this oasis. It seems like every guest has the same mindset and everyone stays quiet and to themselves to really get the most out of their experience.
We also did the breathework session, and clairvoyance session with Helena and both really added to our experience. We have never been able to relax as much as both of these sessions allowed us to do. We couldn’t thank her more for these wonderful experiences.
Overall we couldn’t recommend this place more. Total tranquility, peace, and contemplation.
