Activities in the surroundings of the lodge
This part of the Algarve has recently become a paradise for surfers and hikers, as the stunning coastline offers world-class surfing and spectacular views. Surrounded by the Cape St. Vincent Natural Park and the beautiful Monchique Mountains, there is much to discover by car, bike, horseback or on foot.
*The lodge is also located next to the famous Pilgrim Rota Vicentina hiking trail to a circular walk.
## Interaction
Driven by permaculture principles and a passion for a sustainable lifestyle where nature sets the pace, four friends created Lemon Lodge. The combined hands of William & Michelle and Alex & Helena are continually working to make The Lemon Lodge an eco-friendly farm that lives and breathes an improved way of life to inspire themselves and others.

## Notes
We ask our guests to leave their four-legged friends at home as we have Bruce, Sheppy and Lana roaming the grounds. Feel free to take them for a walk or leave them be. Please let us know if you have allergies and we will take special care to keep them away from the lodge.
★ We started in May 2021 and have received fantastic reviews this first season. Unfortunately, due to a change in administration, we had to change our account here and could not take the reviews. So we have added a few print pages from our previous guests and their experiences at Lemon Lodge.
