We loved pretty much everything from our stay here. Swantje and Toto welcomed us at Quinta Formosinho, offering literary individual service. We we spent 4 days in the dazzling white house, sharing our time between the ocean and the swimming pool with a huge green garden framed by olive, lemon and mandarin trees. The weather in mid May was perfect for surfing, at least for such dummy surfers as we are: sunny, but not so hot; windy, but strong enough to wipe us off the waves; relatively quiet ocean (the south coast), friendly and tolerant to our mistakes.

The ASA team has adapted the surf lesson schedule to both the weather conditions and to our level, so that we could enjoy it and not become overwhelmed.

This time our surf coach was Felix and I must say he did maximum and even a bit more to make us fall in love with surfing.

We are looking forward to our next trip to Algarve.

We had a fabulous surfing holiday. The instructors Jesse, Eva and Toto were all great teachers: patient and fun. We were two first time surfer adults two active teenagers and one active 8yr old. We were all happy and exhausted at the end of each day. Eva and Jesse brought us to some amazing beaches and had some wonderful

recommendations on good places to eat and things to see and do during our stay. Praia da Luz is a beautiful place really handy to Lagos. The apartment is quirky and nice. There’s a lovely vibe about the place. Toto and Swantje are excellent hosts. Highly recommend it.
