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 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.
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.
## 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.
## 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

Magical
A dreamy off grid stay, it’s aesthetic - the fabrics, textures, materials, color scheme, lightning, simplicity and quality of the interior were perfect to me. I’ll come again!

Beautiful nourishing retreat for all senses
We very much enjoyed our brief winter break in Casa Tikka. Despite the fresh humid conditions we could feel cosy warm and relaxed due to the fire-place with wood provided and everything we needed in and around the house. The choosen colours, decoration & materials very much corresponded with our need of retreat. Very clean, natural, spacious - heartful place! Love to be at home like this and sure will come back! Thank you!

A dream in the mountains
We had a very relaxing stay at this magic place. The team is very friendly and helps with all informations. We stayed in the Tikka lodge and enjoeyed the quiet and spaciuos place. The regular visit of the friendly dogs, chicken and birds completed our well-feeling.
