Star Pine Lodge

This holiday exceeded our expectations. The location is perfect. Very clean, relaxing with everything catered for. The pool area and gardens are very tranquil with views of the sea from the upper rooms and terrace. Walking distance to two beaches with cafes bars and restaurants. Close to the airport. Close to Sintra which is worth a visit.

Ralph the owner is great! Very helpful in communications prior to our arrival and through-out the duration of our stay.

The Yoga instructors have different styles but are very experienced and we all enjoyed our sessions. Several of our party had massages which they loved.

We will definitely be back next year!

Thank you x

Starpine Lodge was an amazing place to stay. Loads of chill out spaces, wonderfully kept. Loved the energy of the place. Met lovely people. Really nice fresh and healthy breakfast. Pack lunch provided for our surf lessons. Ralph and the rest of the team looked after me wonderfully. Thank you sooooo much. I definitely recommend Starpine Lodge and I will be back for sure ☺️

Das Retreat war wirklich eine richtig schöne Erfahrung. Alles war super sauber und man hat sich direkt wohlgefühlt. Ralph war total nett und hat einem viele Tipps gegeben, was man dort machen kann. Im Haus hingen außerdem Tafeln mit Restaurant Empfehlungen, Aktivitäten und allgemeinen Infos, wodurch man sich direkt gut zurechtgefunden hat. Zur Begrüßung gab es sogar eine kleine Aufmerksamkeit, was ich echt lieb fand.

Das Frühstück war richtig gut und es gab viel Auswahl: Brot, Müsli, Gemüse, verschiedene Wurst- und Käsesorten, aber auch süße Sachen wie Erdnussbutter oder Konfitüre… Wirklich sehr viel Auswahl und es war alles frisch. Besonders cool fand ich, dass man sich daraus selbst ein Lunchpaket für mittags machen durfte. Dazu gab es noch eine Flasche Wasser und einen Riegel. Kaffee und Tee gab es morgens beim Frühstück ebenfalls dazu.

Yoga war für mich ebenfalls eine tolle Erfahrung. Ich hatte drei verschiedene Yoga Lehrerinnen und jede hat den Unterricht anders gestaltet, was es abwechslungsreich gemacht hat. Yoga wurde morgens und abends angeboten und man konnte zusätzlich wenn man möchte sich weitere Stunden buchen.

Die Surf-Lehrer waren ebenfalls super. Sie haben gut auf alle geachtet, viele Tipps gegeben und sich ehrlich über Fortschritte mitgefreut.

Kleiner Tipp noch: Holt euch dort unbedingt die App „Bolt“. Ähnlich wie Uber, aber deutlich günstiger.

The yoga classes and the instructors.

Ralph is very kind.

The lodge has a mellow, friendly vibe. Pool and gardens are beautiful. The staff and instructors were all wonderful and breakfast was really good. Very good value. And perfect location.

The yoga classes were amazing!

I also felt a sense of community and a sense of being there for one another, which was wonderful.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. They gave me some great tips on places to visit, including hiking trails, since there are some beautiful hikes in the area.

As a woman traveling alone, I always felt safe and will definitely come back!

Een heel fijne en mooie locatie met rust en ruimte voor eigen invulling van de dag.

De yoga sessies waren fantastisch.

Die Möglichkeit auch spontan zu switchen zwischen Surfen, Yoga oder Klettern. Außerdem hatte Ralph immer Tipps für Ausflüge parat.

It was all so amazing! Beautiful setting, short walk from beach, climbing and instructors were great, yoga was great. Everyone was very friendly.

Ralph and the whole team were great! Loved the place, really peaceful and only a few steps away from the sea.

Diese absolut neue Yoga Erfahrung, die so individuell ist und von den instructors so toll vermittelt wurde. Ich bin dafür sehr dankbar!

The lodge is beautiful, nicely decorated and clean. It’s the perfect place to meet other travelers, relax or do your own thing if that is what you prefer. You can tailor your own adventure, whether that’s rock climbing, yoga or surf or do them all! The owner Ralph is phenomenal - He ensures your stay is comfortable and helps with any additional activities you may want to do around the region, transportation, etc. Also has great humor. Couldn’t recommend it enough! I came by myself but it could also work for a group of friends, couples or families!

The staff location and overall ambiance of the retreat exuded positivity and welcome. The yoga teachers were patient and supportive helping where needed and allowed for less experienced pupils like me. I really have nothing negative to say about the whole experience of my first ever yoga retreat.

Beautiful small place. It was easy to get in contact with the other people there. Great breakfast! Very nice and helpful staff.

I will always remember Madalena's whisdom and teachings. Also, Ralph always helped us planning our excursions to Sintra or Cabo de Roca which was a huge help.

Die Kurse waren abwechslungsreich. Das Personal und die anderen Gäste waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Zimmer mit Meerblick war sehr schön.

I loved everything!

The flexible program, the warmful, quiet, lovey place managed by Ralf, the playfulness and kindness from the surf and yoga instructors, the generous and deliciout breakfast, the comfort of the bedroom.

I had an amazing break at Starpine Lodge and I wished I could stay more!

I hope I will come back.

Thank you very much to the team.

Friendly, helpful staff. Great food and location. Excellent twice daily yoga instruction, with a variety of different styles and approaches. Great surf instructors.

The room was really nice. But my favorite part was the front patio which was great for hanging out with the other guests, reading. Ralph was also great - generous to show me around on my first day, lending me some stuff I forgot to pack, and being flexible at checkout.

Loved the location. It was wonderful being so close to the beach area with all the restaurants nearby. Had a great walk along the cliff tops. Susanna and Ralph were wonderful and so helpful with planning my time there. Easy access to Uber, buses, and trains. Would definitely stay again.

Mit netten Leuten sportliche Aktivitäten zu machen in toller Lodge mit Pool&Meer in der Sonne!!!!Gerne wieder!❤️

Habe ich mich von Anfang an zuhause gefühlt. Man fühlt sich hier einfach wohl und man hat genügend Raum zum verweilen. Danke für die schöne Zeit und dass pickup so unkompliziert funktioniert hat.

Von Beginn an haben wir uns in dem Haus sehr wohl gefühlt! Es ist ein Ort der Begegnung und wir hatten viele tolle, inspirierende Gespräche mit den anderen Gäst:innen. Die Mitarbeitenden sowie alle Yoga-/Surflehrinnen machen ihren Job mit viel Leidenschaft und Spaß!

Das Frühstück ist ein Traum und die Nähe zum Strand ebenfalls.

Ralf hat extrem viele gute Tipps für die Umgebung und man kann ihn alles fragen. Ein extrem hilfsbereiter und netter Mensch.

Wir sind mehr als glücklich und sehr erholt.

Die Yogastunden waren alle sehr liebevoll und professionell angeleitet, geht nicht besser. Auch die ganze Anlage und der Garten sind wunderbar, man kann sich jederzeit zurückziehen und entspannen, oder auch mit Mitreisenden in Kontakt kommen. Zum Meer ist es ein Katzensprung!

Beautiful place, excellent location, very convenient for both the beach and supermarkets, restaurants, etc.

The pool is very nice, the rooms are comfortable

I really enjoyed the yoga and rock climbing classes, but I didn't enjoy the surfing classes.

Overall, I think it's in line with the price. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is family-friendly.

great host, great accommodations, great breakfast/lunch, and great location close to the beach and restaurants! Sintra is also easily accessible by transit or Uber/Bolt. I thoroughly enjoyed the yoga classes in the lovely outdoor studio, especially the 8:30am classes with Madalena. I would definitely stay here again, and I would bring my boyfriend next time since he would enjoy the surfing classes the lodge also offers!

The Pine Lodge s super tidy, peaceful and cosy, it felt like home immediately. It's located directly near several beaches, shops, restaurants, bars with seaview, no need to have a car as we could walk everywhere. The surf and yoga courses were so easy to attend - nothing to organise yourself, just put your name on a list and it all get set up for you. The surf instructors were friendly and helpful, the yoga instructors were all incredibly nice and the massage I got from Madalena was the best ever.

The breakfast offers plenty of options and quality food. We had a shared bathroom and it was always super clean. The bed was good, the kitchen very organized, the garden and pool well kept - you can feel that a lot of work and dedication was put in creating this place.

Ralph is always available to provide all possible information about the surroundings, to recommend restaurants or sightseeing options in Sintra, without being intrusive - thanks a million for this wonderful stay, we'll come back! Aurélie & Jenni

All the people that made me feel home and relaxed.

All the staff, the wonderful location and the smiling yoga teachers :)

very friendly & helpful staff. multiple yoga teachers with a range of teaching styles which was very enjoyable

Ralph was a very helpful and welcoming host who has taken everything into consideration at Star Pine Lodge. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the climbing, surfing, and yoga on offer. The lodge felt homely, social, and relaxing. A mix of people and ages. Location is near the beach and a food/drink court with a good variety of food. I would both recommend SPL and stay there again.

I went for the yoga and surf retreat experience and the place was absolutely lovely and welcoming. As a solo traveller, I felt completely at ease and the people there were so warm and attentive, which made it easy to settle in and feel comfortable right away.

There was a great variety of breakfast options to choose from each morning, and you could even pack something for lunch, which was really convenient. The yoga shala was fantastic, spacious, peaceful, and beautifully set up. The yoga teachers were wonderful too, knowledgeable, and supportive.

Surfing was so much fun too! The instructors were super helpful, patient, and encouraging, which made it easy to enjoy even as a beginner. It was a great way to challenge myself and have fun in the ocean.

The whole atmosphere was so relaxed. You could chill by the pool, soak up some sun, go for walk and explore the costal town or socialise with others. I also met some truly lovely people during my stay.

Overall, it was a great experience, calming, enriching, and full of good vibes. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with a mix of wellness and connection.

The people I met at the resort

Everyone was soo nice 🥰

All the staff were friendly and helpful with everything, amazing people, happy to explain, help or accommodate request. I had a fantastic time.

It’s hard to pick just one best thing. We were blown away by star pine lodge. It was absolutely perfect for us. It was clean, sociable, relaxed and you can choose from an array of activities. We did rock climbing and yoga which is was challenging but really empowering. We loved it. Theres also a great area near by for food. Wood fired pizzas, poke bowls, sushi, burgers, etc.

Ralph and the rest of the staff were really helpful and friendly

We’re already planning our return trip in a few months time

I loved the location, the facilitie , all around and yoga 🧘‍♀️ The Ralph and all the staff was lovely and very very helpful 😇🙏🙏 I highly recommend The Star Pine Lodge 👌

Die morgendlichen Yogastunden.

Mein Sohn und ich haben im April großartige Tage hier verbracht. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und während unseres Aufenthaltes standen Ralph und Susanna mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Zusätzlich erhielten wir tolle Tipps für unsere Klippenwanderungen. Das Frühstück wurde jeden Morgen sehr liebevoll zubereitet. Die Unterkunft befindet sich sehr nah am Strand und das Surfen und Yoga haben riesig Spaß gemacht. Es war eine tolle kleine Auszeit für uns gewesen. Definitiv eine Empfehlung. Wir kommen im nächsten Jahr wieder ☺️

Eine feine, kleine, familiäre Insel, alle sind sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Ich habe mich sehr willkommen und wohl gefühlt.

Meine 4 Yogaeinheiten waren alle anders, aber gut. Frühstück sehr liebevoll zubereitet. Pool und Garten perfekt. Strand leicht zu erreichen und auch die Wanderwege. Vielen Dank nochmals an Ralph und das ganze Team 🥰

Das Zimmer war klein aber fein. Es war etwas hellhörig, da die anderen Gäste ruhig waren, stellte dies in der Nacht kein grosses Problem dar. Das Frühstück war super, es hatte viel Auswahl und man durfte sich sogar Lunchpakete bereitmachen. Der Inhaber und die anderen Mitarbeitenden waren alle sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Der Surflehrer war sehr geduldig und freundlich, die Surflektionen wurden sogar für nur eine oder zwei Personen durchgeführt.

Ich würde die Unterkunft weiterempfehlen

The yoga teachers were really professional. The environment was super chilled, and everyone was very nice. Ralph couldn't have been more accommodating.

I really enjoyed so many things about my stay! What’s not to love? A really homely, well equipped place with a helpful and welcoming host. A lovely vibe, friendly, laid back, calm. Great location for the beach and restaurants. Sintra town and Monserrate are just a short drive or uber away.

The buffet breakfast sets you up well for the day and there is water, tea, fruit available throughout the day. All the staff are lovely and so helpful.

The yoga teachers are excellent. It was the best yoga I’ve done. I’m a convert! I was only able to get 1 day of climbing due to the inclement weather but climbing on the sea cliffs was pure bliss! Isa was a great climbing instructor and had us all organised and chose routes well for us.

I was sorry to leave and will definitely be back 😊

I had the most wonderful 4-night stay at Starpine Lodge. From the seamless communication with the owner, Ralph—who was incredibly accessible and attentive- helped me with the transfer on arrival and tips on what to do in Sintra—such a warm hospitality of the staff, everything exceeded my expectations. My room was amazing, with a breathtaking view of the garden and the sea in the distance, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic, offering a complete and healthy selection, and the lunchbox was a great touch.

The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the yoga classes. Madalena and Joanna are both incredible teachers, each with their own unique style, but without a doubt, these were the best yoga classes I’ve ever experienced in my four years of daily practice (mostly online). It was a truly magical mind, body, and soul connection.

The location is also perfect—close to great food spots, wonderful seaside restaurants, and I was lucky enough to witness stunning sunsets over the ocean. Starpine Lodge is a place I will definitely return to, and I’m highly recommending it to all my friends in Europe!

Different Yoga instructors

Its a cozy and clean lodge, it is enough and acommodating everyone needs. The staff are friendly and super helpful, they are the heart of the lodge. 3 wonderful and positive Yoga instructors; they keep you in flow with their diversities and vibes. Things are well organized for all activities (surfing, yoga, climbing and MTBs) and punctual.

Schöne Lodge mit tollem Garten, gut eingerichtete Gemeinschaftsküche, schöner Yoga - Raum und tolle Yoga - Lehrerin.

Schöne Ausflugsziele in der Umgebung, tolle Wandermöglichkeiten. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restos / Bars in 15 Minuten Fussdistanz.

Surf and yoga instructors were excellent as well as being personable. Everything was well organized and the staff provided outstanding customer service. The lodged is kept very clean and tidy. Included breakfast and lunch box exceeded my expectations. Staff even baked a pie and cake for added breakfast treat. Great location to nearby beach, restaurants and local town. Really enjoyed my one week stay at Star Pine Lodge and strongly recommend!

Everything was well organized, the people and instructors super friendly and explained well everything we needed to know. We were picked up at the train station and had 3 wonderful days of Yoga and Surfing. Every morning we had a rich breakfast. Yoga lessons are either in the morning or evening. You can also do more yoga than booked and pay afterwards for it.

An unforgettable experience at Star Pine Lodge!

My stay at Star Pine Lodge was absolutely incredible. The lodge is set in a stunning location that instantly brings a sense of peace and inspiration. From the moment I arrived, I felt surrounded by warm, welcoming people who make this place truly special.

The atmosphere is wonderfully relaxed, yet everything is perfectly organized. The schedule flowed seamlessly, and every detail was thoughtfully arranged. The breakfast was a highlight – fresh, varied, and absolutely delicious! The yoga and surf lessons were top-notch, led by highly skilled instructors who genuinely care about each individual’s experience.

What made this trip so special for me was the opportunity to truly reconnect with myself. The combination of the inspiring surroundings, the calming vibe, and the space for personal growth brought me so much clarity and insight. On top of that, I met amazing people and formed meaningful connections.

Star Pine Lodge strikes the perfect balance between activity, relaxation, and personal exploration. I can’t wait to come back and dive even deeper into everything this incredible place has to offer. Highly recommended for anyone looking to surf, practice yoga, and discover themselves on a deeper level!

Muy agradecida a todos, Ralph, Juan y Susana que nos recibieron super bien! Y a todas las profes de Yoga, cada una con su estilo y su buena onda y predisposición. Muy enriquecedor 💚💚

Star Pine Lodge is such a special place! We had the best stay there enjoying yoga, climbing and surfing.

The place has such a calm and homely atmosphere, all the instructors (yoga, climbing and surfing) were really competent and fun to be with, the lodge is very clean and the staff is so friendly.

We planned to stay only a few nights but ended up extending our stay! I would highly recommend :)

Le lieu est à bonne proximité de tout, les ballades et le littoral.

Le personnel est disponible.

Les activités sont bien encadrées, je recommande pleinement.

Ein großartiges Team… Ralph Besitzer der Lodge war schon vor der Reise sehr aufmerksam und hat alles vorab leicht gemacht mit gutem Gefühl anzureisen. Vor Ort ist er mit vielen tips für Surfen, Wanderungen, Ausflüge zu Sehenswürdigkeiten und Restaurants immer hilfreich gewesen. Umringt von einem MEGA TEAM… der Haus Fee Suzanna und Juan… ebenfalls ein liebenswerter umsorgender Host… sie haben morgens immer ein super leckeres und frisches appetitliches Frühstück bereitet… das Haus blitzblank halten… wundervolle Menschen… die Dir immer ein Lächeln zaubern… die Yogalehrerinnen, die ich genießen durfte, haben ALLE unglaublich berührende und stimmungsvolle, aktive und stille Stunden gegeben… jede von ihnen mit eigenem SPIRIT… Tiffany, Maddalena, Joana, Carolina… WOW!

Von anderen Teilnehmern kamen durchweg positive Eindrücke von den hier angebotenen Surf- und klettersessions… die super organisiert sind.

Insgesamt sind die Abläufe hier immer entspannt gewesen… es wurde viel gelacht, zusammen gekocht und Zeit in dem wunderschönen Garten am Pool gelesen und gechillt… genug Space für ME TIME… sehr gute Lage am Meer, das man hören kann wenn die Brandung gewaltig ist… schöne Pfade an den Klippen, die die Strände und die ersten kleinen Orte verbinden…Supermarkt 10 Minuten

Die Zeit ist mit vielen kunterbunten und herzwärmenden Momenten viel zu schnell vergangen…

The location and the facilities of the lodge were really lovely. It was nice to have space to cook dinner yourself, the staff were available at all times and the yoga instructors (Tiffanfy and Joanna) were so great! The yoga classes themselves were fun and unique. The staff were really welcoming and informative about the surrounding area and gave some really nice tips of where to eat etc.

Bijzonder aardig personeel, zeer gastvrij, persoonlijke aandacht, goede en snelle communicatie.

Goed georganiseerd, zeer schoon, keuken goed uitgerust.

Lunchpakket inbegrepen, fles water en wijn op de kamer.

Prachtige omgeving.

The location was so good! Everything you need is a 10min walk away - Supermarket, different food options (Pizza, Burger, Thai, Pasta, Drinks), Beach. The Staff was really nice and helpful. The accommodation is really cozy and it feels like home very quick. The different „sports“ options were really nice and professional and it was easy to switch if you didn't like something.

Perfect location to relax, whether it be at the beautiful beach only a short walk away or exploring the gorgeous surroundings. Very high standard of yoga, delicious food and welcoming hosts :) Highly recommend!

Es gefiel mir einfach alles so gut 😍!!

Das Frühstück mit Liebe vorbereitet, war super lecker! Die Lodge ein Traum zum entspannen. Viele nette Leute die ich dort kennengelernt habe 😍

Mein Zimmer war super sauber und sehr schön eingerichtet. Hab mich sehr wohlgefühlt.

Es war meine erste Reise alleine und ich bin so glücklich, dass ich die Star Pine Lodge ausgesucht habe. Ich hätte mir keinen besseren Ort vorstellen können. Ich bin sehr dankbar für all die wunderschönen Momente, die ich dort erleben durfte! Und freue mich auf das nächste Mal!!☀️🏄🏽‍♀️😍

Ralph was a great host kudos for him and his staff

The location is incredible. The lodge is kept clean , the guidelines clearly stated before coming & on site . The meals offered prepared with care . The star pine team are friendly and aim to please . Ralph has created an oasis & elevated the lodge experience. The location & the serenity of the place helped with the intent of my trip.

The service was amazing

Classes were really nice, with great instructors, who helped and supported us. Accommodation conditions were great, the room was lovely and had everything we needed for the stay. We also enjoyed the breakfasts and are thankful for the possibility to pack lunch with ourselves. After the surfing lessons, that what needed.

Additional thank you to all the staff for taking care of our stay, especially to Ralph. We are so grateful for the pick-up and the sightseeing tour on the first day. Definitely we’ll be happy to come back again.

What did you not like? Everything was great, thank you!

Great people and location.

Ralph ist ein total freundlicher und cooler Typ. Er und sein Team haben unseren Aufenthalt zu einer überaus relaxten und angenehmen Auszeit gemacht, und die Lodge ist sehr gemütlich!

Die Organisation der Surf- und Yoga Kurse war super.

Besser kann man seinen Urlaub nicht verbringen 😊

The service, kind and professionell staff and relaxing atmosphere

Das Surf- und Yoga-Camp war ein absolut unvergessliches Erlebnis! Ich habe mich von Anfang an sehr wohl gefühlt, da das Team dafür gesorgt hat, dass ich schnell mit allen in Kontakt gekommen bin. Das Essen war köstlich und abwechslungsreich, und das Personal war immer freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Wellen waren perfekt zum Surfen und die Yoga-Stunden waren entspannend und inspirierend. Insgesamt kann ich das Camp nur wärmstens empfehlen und freue mich schon darauf, bald wiederzukommen!

It is a very relaxed place with the opportunity to be be yourself or engage with others. The week I stayed we had some bad weather that curtailed some of the activities I had planned to do. The yoga is varied which I appreciated and the teachers are responsive to the needs of those practising. The place and location and are excellent and Ralph and his team make an effort to ensure you have a pleasant stay. I look forward to returning. Julia

Everything is fantastic, the yoga instructors are the best

Great location, really well looked after. Great breakfast offering.

Star Pine Lodge is a perfect location, I had an amazing time. I liked everything, the room, the people, the delicious breakfast, the high quality of the yoga en surfing lessons. The place breaths relaxation. Ralph, Susanna, Madalina and Renata, thanks for maling this stay amazing.

Ralph was very careful and provided all instructions clearly.

As well as providing guidance on local activities of greatest interest.

The entire staff was very receptive and warm-hearted.

The yoga teacher Madalena gave us classes of intermediate difficulty, adjusted to the class, and shared some interesting points about yoga philosophy.

Surf und Yoga Unterrichten, Lage

Ralph is a very good and organized host.

The place is clean, the food is good, the people are very nice.

There is a lot of activities around the place : Mountain bike, climbing, surfing, hiking and every day ( Twice a day) yoga classes at the place.

Everything is easy and really worse the price.

Great experience I highly recommand it.

Also very safe area for solo travellers

Vorab..Es ist ein wunderbarer Ort !!

Madelina unterrichtet Kundalini Yoga mit echter Hingabe und Inspiration

Nicht nur Susana, aber sie besonders, arrangiert ein so liebevolles Frühstück mit unfassbar viel Menschenliebe und Freundlichkeit

Es ist einfach toll

Thank you su much for the time in starpine Lodge! It was great experience, wonderful atmosfere and great people! Would love to come back :)

Location, attention to detail and readiness to accommodate from staff, comfortable stay, great yoga

From the moment we arrived, Ralph provided all the information we needed to know about the place and which spots were worth visiting in the area. Everything we needed was walking distance (10-15min): beaches, cafes, restaurants, supermarket, etc.

The vibe was exactly what we were looking for and all the staff was nice and helpful.

Great breakfast and you can still pack a lunch to go, all included.

Yoga and surf classes included which helped to make the experience even better.

Die Starpine Lodge ist ein absoluter Wohlfühlort! Das Team ist super herzlich, das Frühstück lecker, die Zimmer sind schön und alles ist wirklich mega sauber! Das Yoga war super um runterzukommen und den Körper nach den Surf Sessions ausgiebig zu dehnen.

10/10 would recommend :)

Alles

The accommodation was just lovely and quaint, staff were really helpful. Both yoga teachers were awesome.

I'm a solo traveller and it was so lovely to meet people from different countries. Great vibe.

Die beiden yogalehrerinnen Madleina (?) und Tiiffany waren super! Unkomplizierte und familiäre unterkunft mit schönem Frühstück und Snacks für zwischendurch.

The location, the flexibility to decide when to do yoga or surfing. Nothing was too much trouble for the host and his team.

If you are reding this..stop ,and book this retreat!

We loved every minute of our time in Star Pine Lodge,many thanks to all,who made it possible!

Beautiful surroundings,excellent yoga classes,hearty breakfast,it is really 10 out of 10.

Looking forward to booking again next year.

Amazing place to stay, Ralph is incredibly helpful and organised. The atmosphere is really relaxed, the yoga studio is beautiful, the rooms are lovely and the food is delicious.The surf is really cool and the instructors are awesome. It's incredible value for money and a great place to meet other people. Lots to do in the area and everything here is beautiful, highly recommend !

the location is amazing and the actual retreat lodge is stunning with beautiful rooms and views as well as being very clean and tidy, i loved the surfing & yoga on offer and the instructors were great ! a fantastic experience all round

- leckeres Frühstücksbuffet

- Offenheit aller Leute

- Organisation der Kurse

- Garten/Poolanlage

- Nähe zum Strand

Die Starpine Lodge ist wirklich perfekt für Leute die sowohl Ruhe und Entspannung, als auch Aktion auf dem Wasser suchen.

Man ist super flexibel und kann die Kurse so buchen, wie es einem zeitlich passt. So kann man auch mal einen gemütlichen Tag planen, oder zum Sightseeing aufbrechen.

Die Unterkunft ist auch super geeignet für Alleinreisende, ich habe mich immer sicher und gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Man findet schnell Anschluss und Ralph & das Team sind immer ansprechbar 😊

Die Zimmer im Außenbereich waren ein bisschen düster & haben einen den Sturm und co doch ein wenig miterleben lassen.

Aber trotzdem in Ordnung :)

Everything about my stay in Star Pine was exceptional. From the moment I arrived I felt welcome and it’s truly a home away from home. The staff are very helpful and friendly, and the shared facilities and rooms are clean and beyond expectation. The breakfast buffet in the morning had so much choice and it was great that you could bring a lunch with you for the day! The area is beautiful and there is so much to do- the perfect balance between a relaxing break with fun activities through the day :) I enjoyed the yoga and surf lessons, the instructors were very helpful. The atmosphere in the lodge was warm and friendly, everyone was very chatty and I met some amazing people, which was lovely as I travelled alone.

Star Pine is an incredible place and I would love to return again! Thank you to Ralph Susanna and all the staff for making my stay so special :)

Beautiful place with great location close to the ocean, nice, clean and cosy room, excellent service with very friendly and helpful staff. Peace and quiet, surrounded by unique nature.

Ankommen und sofort da sein.

Schönes Zimmer - das ganze Haus sehr schön und sauber, tolle Yoga Stunden, leckeres Frühstück, nette Menschen und das Meer fußläufig.

Was kann man mehr wollen?

Die Lodge ist super gelegen-in einigen Gehminuten ist man direkt am super schönen Strand, sowie auch in die andere Richtung bei Einkaufs- und Essensmöglichkeiten.

Der Garten der Lodge ist irgendwie richtig magisch. Alles schön angelegt, mit vielen Sitzmöglichkeiten-Sitzecken, einem kleinen Pool und der schöne Yoga-Pavillon, indem man beim Yoga das Meeresrauschen hören kann und die Sonnenstrahlen spürt.

Hervorheben möchte ich Magdalena-eine Yogalehrerin mit Seele. Es war jedes Mal eine Wohltat für Körper und Seele! Die von Magdalena angebotene Massage muss man einfach erleben!

Magdalena ist definitiv eine der Hauptgründe, warum ich die Lodge wieder besuchen möchte und ich hoffe sie bleibt ein Teil des Angebots :)

Der angebotene Surfunterricht ist ebenfalls empfehlenswert. Ich bin hierbei jedoch kein Kenner...

Alle anderen angebotenen Aktivitäten habe ich selber nicht ausprobiert. Von den anderen "Mitbewohnern" habe ich aber auch nur positives gehört.

Toll fand ich die Menschen, die dort ebenfalls einige Tage verbrachten. Alle durchweg nett, sympathisch, unkompliziert und von allen Altersklassen (ca 18 - 55 Jahre) etwas vertreten.

Es gibt keinerlei Gruppenzwang. Wenn man allein sein möchte geht dies ebenso gut, als wenn man Kontakte möchte und sucht.

Das Frühstück war immer liebevoll angerichtet. Super leckere Brötchen, alles frisch, alles da-für jeden Geschmack. Die Frühstückzeit bis 11 Uhr ist optimal.

Die Möglichkeit sich ein Lunchpaket zusammenzustellen ist toll!

The Starpine lodge is a beautiful place. From the moment I arrive I felt at home, the staff were so kind and lovely. I celebrated my birthday here and they surprised me with a cake! The yoga and surf sessions were excellent, miss the place already!

The Yoga experience was great due to excellent yoga teachers ! Really worth it.

Located close to the ocean restaurant markets hikes and Sintra for attractions.

Ideal to relax yoga classes were great. The instructors are knowledgeable. I would recommend and return.

The lodge is in a great location to explore the beach and the surroundings. Ralph was great and very helpful. Surf and yoga sessions were amazing with great instructors.

Ralph was very welcoming, he picked me up from the station and showed me around the area. The rest of the staff were super nice as well (house staff, yoga teachers, surf and rock climbing instructors).

Ralph und sein Team (Suzanna und Renata) machten den Aufenthalt zu einem Erlebnis. Die Zimmer sind super sauber, die Anlage sehr schön und die Lage fantastisch. Alles war super organisiert und die Instruktoren für Klettern und Surfen sehr professionell. Spassfaktor 100%. Die Yoga Lehrerinnen waren auch ausgezeichnet.

Das Frühstücksbüffet ist reichhaltig und lecker.

Alles in Allem ein Riesen „Dankeschön“ an das gesamte Team für die tolle Zeit! :-)

Hier kann man sich definitiv eine Auszeit gönnen. Tolle nette Leute , super schöne Unterkunft, perfekte Lage und die Kombination aus Surfen und Yoga ist einfach nur genial. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen👍🏼

The fact that the trip consisted of a small group of people in everyone was so nice and wonderful for the entire experience

Die Familiäre Atmosphäre.

Sehr schöne Lage mit tollen Menschen.

The resort is very homey and clean. It's easy to connect with others who are staying there. It's very easy to get around and visit wonderful places. The yoga instructer is fantastic and I heard also good stories about the instructors of other activities. The breakfast is complete and the breakfast hours are generous (8.00-11.00). There is fresh fruit all day for free and the costs for extra's are very reasonable. Restaurants and a supermarket are on walking distance.

Das Haus, die Lage, Strandwanderungen, der Ozean, Essen gehen und frisch vom Markt kaufen hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Die Gemeinschaftsküche, der Pool, Gemeinschaftsräume sind schön und alles ist mit Liebe eingerichtet. Man kann gemeinsam mit den anderen dort, aber doch auch alleine Urlaub machen. Alles ist gut organisiert! Man fühlt sich aufgehoben, bekommt viele Infos über Ort und Umgebung. Yoga und das Surfen fand ich super. Komme gerne wieder!

Ich könnte viel schreiben, aber ich halte mich kurz: ich hab mich selten an einem neuen ort mit fremden menschen von beginn an so wohl gefühlt! Danke Ralph und Susana, es war mir ein Volksfest :)

oh und auch großes danke an david, den kletterguide, mit dem ich meinen ersten vorstieg gemeistert habe und magdalena, der yogalehrerin für die interessanten, sehr kreativen stunden! :)

Obrigadaaa <3

Superbe séjour pour la nouvelle année

Nous sommes restés 5 jours et nous avons pu profiter des multiples activités ( yoga, escalade, surf), de la plage, de sintra, randonner. L’équipe est super ! C’était parfait ! Audrey

Das gesamte Team war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Ich fühlte mich sehr gut aufgenommen. Es ließ nichts zu wünschen übrig

Sehr gerne wieder

Mein erster Besuch in einem "Yoga Retreat" und ich werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen!

Die Star Pine Lodge bietet ihren Gästen die Möglichkeit in familiärer Atmosphäre gemeinsam an Aktivitäten wie Yoga, Surfen, Klettern oder Mountainbiken teilzunehmen.

Dir wird nichts aufgezwungen, sondern du kannst frei entscheiden, ob und wann du an Aktivitäten teilnehmen möchtest. Wenn du etwas Zeit für dich brauchst und z.B. in der tollen Umgebung wandern gehen möchtest, kannst du dir auch dafür beim Gastgeber Ralph ein paar Empfehlungen einholen.

Ich konnte bei meinem Aufenthalt in der Star Pine Lodge tolle Menschen kennenlernen. Nach der gemeinsamen morgendlichen Yogaeinheit haben wir gemeinsam gefrühstückt und den Tag besprochen. Dabei haben sich meistens kleinere Gruppen gebildet in denen wir dann unseren Aktivitäten nachgegangen sind. Nach der Rückkehr gab es dann nochmal die Möglichkeit den Tag bei einer etwas entspannteren Yoga-Session ausklingen zu lassen. Nach dem Yoga wurde dann gemeinsam gekocht und gegessen.

Die Yogaeinheiten waren soweit ich das als Yoga-Anfänger beurteilen kann exzellent. Madalena ist mit Herz und Seele Yoga-Lehrerin und schafft eine tolle Atmosphäre in Ihren Kursen.

Der Urlaub in der Star Pine Lodge war eine tolle Erfahrung und ist für jeden der mal für ein paar Tage aus dem Alltag entfliehen möchte zu empfehlen. Ralph und sein Team machen es den Gästen leicht einfach zu sein und sich wie zuhause zu fühlen.

What a place! Star Pine Lodge is perfect spot to enjoy true Portuguese vibe. Beautiful garden, shala, common space but the best thing is the community. Ralph, Susana, Madalena and Luis are people you just want to take home with you. We felt welcomed, loved and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Thank you!

The yoga instructors were amazing...just what I needed. Since it was the end of the season there weren't many guests there. But the Yoga class would always happen even with just one person participating.

I like so muche the hospitality. Ralph, Susana are very kind and helpfull. The lodge is supernice and the yoga shala it was in front of my room.

Madalena is the main yoga teacher (durig the week) she is amazing, kind and very sweet. I appreciate al lot all her lessons.

Fantastic yoga teachers, practice twice daily, even Made accomodations for my sprained ankle.

Fantastic Breakfast, lovely staff, Nice recommendations reg. Day trips etc- they really know the area! Ralph and susanna are real gems!

Great Premises, very clean and well kept. Loved that you could choose which sports to join pretty spontaineosly.

Hier fühlt man sich direkt wohl. Ich bin sehr herzlich von Susanna (einer der zwei Angestellten des Hauses) empfangen worden. Ralph, der Hausbesitzer gab mir ausführliche Info´s zum Haus und alles was man so drum herum machen kann. Das frühstück ist bezaubernd. Die Yoga Stunden ebenfalls total angenehm für alle Levels. Das Klettern kann ich sehr weiterempfehlen. Die Kletterguides sind super nett. Die Fahrt bis zum Kletter Ort ist sehr schön, man sieht sehr viel von der Landschaft. Egal ob man Kletterprofi oder totaler Anfänger ist.

Die Anlage verfügt über einen sehr schönen Pool. Man kann sich den ganzen Tag Wasser, Tee Obst nehmen. Ich war rund um zufrieden mit meiner Urlaub in der Star Pine Loge. Nächstes Jahr komme ich definitiv wieder.

Starpine Lodge is in a great location. A short walk to many beaches and lovely restaurants. Ralph was always happy to give recommendations, all which exceeded our expectations. We had a couple of windy days but Ralph told us about a beach (4 euros in a uber away) which was sheltered and it was beautiful. We also had a breathtaking walk to Caba De Roca which took us 4hrs (we went slowly and took lots of pictures) and from there it was a 7 euro uber back.

The yoga was first class. We had 2 different teachers while we were there and they were amazing. Very different styles but both SO good and such lovely authentic people.

Breakfast was great and they happily catered from my gluten allergy. We loved making our own sandwiches after breakfast, it worked really well, great to have with us on our walks and beach trips. And always yes to the yummy porridge after yoga!

This is a beautiful place to stay and relax - for a few days or even several weeks. The house is perfectly located - just a view minutes to various beaches, shopping facilities and many small villages - such as beautiful Sintra - are nearby. The capital Lisbon is also reachable and suitable for a day trip.

The rooms, kitchen and common spaces are clean and spacious, everything is kept in a perfect state. All the staff is super nice and helpful.

You can do all kind of activities here: Climbing, Surfing, Yoga etc.

We had the loveliest time at Starpine lodge! We were immediately made to feel welcome from the minute Sandra picked us from the station, and Susana and Ralph were equally warm and welcoming and they were all available to meet our every need and answer our questions…plus Susana treated us to homemade cake and scrambled eggs for breakfast!

The lodge is so homely and has everything you could think of- from hammocks to a BBQ area to the honesty fridge with beers and snacks and a perfectly organised and fully stocked communal kitchen where you can make your own meals/store your own food.

The lodge is in a beautiful location just a few minutes from the beach, restaurants, supermarket and bus stop where you can easily get into Sintra in 15-20 minutes. There are sea views from the lodge and a gorgeous garden and pool area.

We had yoga with the wonderful Madalena whose classes were moving and very special, and we tried the surfing too, and of course spent the afternoons by the pool.

The lodge had such a homely, peaceful and relaxed feel, and we met lots of other travellers too which made for a lovely sense of community, although you still had your own space and there was no pressure to join in the surfing/yoga if you wanted to skip a day, which we did to go to Sintra for the day.

We had such an amazing time, and again we can’t thank Ralph, Sandra and Susana, and Madalena enough for their hospitality. Thank you for creating such a special place- we hope to come back next year!☺️

The location is beautiful. The place is clean and yoga is on site. Breakfast is served, you can use the pool, there are horse riding options close by, climbing, surfing, beaches, cities, forests, biking route- really all you could wish for on an active but yet relaxing holiday. Ralph was very responsive and kind and so was the whole staff who made the stay wonderful. Restaurants and bars are close by. The yoga teachers are knowledgeable and some also do Reiki Healing and massage.

The lodge is very informal and chilled. The location is ideal to get to the beach for surfing and to the mountain for biking. Great restaurants nearby. The yoga was brilliant too. Would definitely go back

Awesome breakfast including Susannes super nice porridge, well equiped house with a nice garden/pool and a covered separate place for the yoga classes. The yoga teachers changed every day which made it very various, flexible booking of the yoga classes was possible. Overall: we would love to come again!!

This is a wonderful place. Everything about it was delightful - the people, location and experience. It was perfect and greatly exceeded my expectations

Der ganze Urlaub war ein voller Erfolg und ein super Geschenk an mich. ;) alle waren super nett und hilfsbereit, die Unterkunft sehr sauber, sehr schön eingerichtet und es wird mit viel Liebe zum Detail auf alles geachtet. Kletter- und Yogakurse waren sehr gut organisiert und wurden kompetent durchgeführt.

Gerne jeder Zeit wieder!

Sehr herzliche und gute Atmosphäre. Alle waren sehr bemüht, dass man sich wohl fühlt. Sehr guter Service, schönes Haus, eine tolle Lage am Meer, sehr gute Yogaklassen. Komme auf jeden Fall wieder!

We had such a great time at Starpine Lodge. Really cosy atmosphere, it is quit a small place and makes you feel like home. Nice garden with lots of places to relax. Staff is really nice, and Susana makes the best breakfast! And she is really paying attention to specific needs (like allergies) and wishes. And you can make yourself a lunch pack also - really nice for going on hikes etc. Very clean place and well equiped kitchen for everyone to use. You can also buy hiking- and surfclasses wich is nice. Ocean, beaches and nice hikes along the coast very close by. Not so much of a retreat experience, more like a really nice hostel, which I really liked - lots of flexibility about the yoga and other activities, and plenty of time to do things on your own as well.

Total liebe und zuvorkommende Gastgeber.

Es war perfekt um den Alltags Stress zu entfliehen!

It was an amazing experience at this lodge, the place is wonderful, the organisation as well ! I will come back for sure !

Best place for chilling !!

gute Organisation und sehr freundliche Leute

I enjoyed my stay at this hostel. The yoga instructors were wonderful and the breakfast was lovely. Friendly guests and very clean communal kitchen area. Felt at home here.

Ich habe eine Woche in der Star Pine Lodge verbracht, bin aber während meines einmonatigen Aufenthalts in Portugal noch mehrmals kurzfristig zurückgekehrt.

Die Atmosphäre vor Ort, der wundervolle Garten, das abwechslungsreiche Sportangebot und vor allem das durchweg liebenswerte Team ergeben zusammen die perfekte Mischung für einen entspannten Urlaub, bei dem man sowohl die Seele baumeln lassen als auch der Abenteuerlust frönen kann.

Ich habe sowohl Klettertouren als auch eine Mountainbike-Tour mitgemacht und kann beides sehr empfehlen. Für das Mountainbiking halte ich eine gewisse Grundfitness für ratsam, beim Klettern konnte auf verschiedene Fitness- und Erfahrungslevel eingegangen werden. Auch die Yogaklassen, welche in der nahegelegenen Lodge stattfinden, waren durchweg gut und für alle Level geeignet.

Das Team hat flexibel, schnell und super lieb auf sämtliche Situationen und Sonderwünsche, die durch meine teils spontane Planung auftraten, reagiert - vielen Dank dafür!

Die komplette Unterkunft, inklusive Gemeinschaftsräume und Garten sind sehr sauber und auf die aktuelle Situation bzgl. COVID-19 wird vorbildlich eingegangen. Übberall stehen Desinfektionsspender und durch die erhöhte Rücksichtnahme aufeinander z.B. durch Tragen von Masken in Gemeinschaftsräumen, wurde das Gemeinschaftsgefühl unter den Reisenden eher gestärkt als eingeschränkt.

Last but not least - das Frühstück ist super und abwechslungsreich :)

Loved friendly, knowledgeable and resourceful staff. Awesome welcoming environment and facilities. All equipment was superb. Super access to beaches, shops and eating out. Short distance from beaches, coastal views on cliff tops. Vast variety of activities. Something for everyone.

I would definitely come back again.

The food!!! (Thank you Susanna!). The location, the environment, the excellent climbing teachers (Isa and Pierre), the tranquility of the place and the laid back attitude of the staff. Perfect place to get some headspace, and I was lucky enough to meet some wonderful, like-minded people.

Es war ein wunderbar erholsamer Urlaub mit Yoga und Wandern am Strand!

Tolle Atmosphere in der Star Pine Lodge und sehr gutes Frühstück. Danke, Juli!

Yoga mit Isa hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Sie legt Wert auf achtsames und bewusstes Üben, vermittelt Einfühlungsvermögen, motiviert Anfänger und Fortgeschrittene!

Gute Mischung mit morgens Surfen und Abends Yoga. Die Yogalehrerin war super! Die Lodge im allgemeinen bietet alles was man braucht, man fühlt sich total wohl und wie zu Hause. Super schöner Strand direkt ein paar Gehminuten weiter. Man kann viel in der Umgebung erkunden, Sintra ist nicht weit. Es gibt viele kleine Buchten (teils muss man runter "klettern") zu entdecken, meist nicht mehr als 10 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt. Und bei Souldough Pizza 10 Gehminuten entfernt, hab ich die beste Pizza meines Lebens gegessen! Surfen war zu der Zeit etwas schwierig zu lernen, da die Wellen eher sehr chaotisch nenn ichs mal waren, aber in 3 Tagen lern man wohl auch kein surfen :D Aber ein paar mal stand ich :)

Nice accommodation which was tastefully and individually decorated with lots of places to hang out at.

My favorite being the sun lounger by the pool.

The staff were all lovely, approachable and hard working and added to this having been a very nice stay.

Susanna’s morning cakes will be sorely missed!

I also appreciated the breakfast bar which had a great variety of foods. Liked the little touches like freshly cut veg, veggie spread and all sorts of healthy things thrown in like porridge, seeds to put on top etc.

The Lodge is a beautiful, tranquil setting with lovely accommodation, a fabulous pool and a lovely spacious room for yoga. It's very peaceful and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

We loved the set up here, honesty bar, fabulous breakfasts and ability to make up a picnic lunch. Great guest kitchen. Wonderful super friendly staff.

הלודג' ממוקם באזור טבע פראי,על טך הציקום המרוחק שלו המארחים סייעו בהסעות טל ומ הרכבת.הארוח היה מסביר פנים של סוזן "הבשלנית".

שיעורי היוגה ברמה טובה,הרכיהה והטיפוס אפשרו לי לנכיר את פול מדריך מצוין וסבלני ועוד מקומות יפים.

My boyfriend and I came to StarPine wanting to escape our busy lives in London. We knew we were going to have an amazing time but our time at StarPine, exceeded all expectations! We arrived at Sintra to be greeted by Ruiz, he drove us to the lodge giving us a really interesting history lesson about the area and telling us all the best places to eat, the beaches etc. Our room was absolutely perfect, each room is given a bottle of time for you to enjoy on your first evening. There were so many touching and thoughtful aspects like this, which made the trip incredibly special. We were very lucky to have an ocean view... and every evening without fail we were treated to the most beautiful sunsets and fell asleep listening to the waves. The staff were all super friendly and helpful, and truly went above and beyond for any requests. One morning I felt a little sick and Suzi made me a special tea to help settle my tummy - very sweet!! We did the yoga, surfing and mountain biking which were all awesome.

Genuinely cannot find a single fault with our stay, it was magical. We both are very sad to be back in London!! We are definitely going to come back next year for more than 5 days, as we felt we only just scratched the surface!!

Freundliches Team, entspanntes Haus vom Ambiente, Ruhe, eine sehr angenehme Größe für eine Lodge.

Yoga during the week was excellent! But in the weekend there was another yoga teacher and the yoga was like very beginner level stretching.

Surfing was great!

Loved the friendly atmosphere and the approachable staff. Food was great. Location was amazing and the surfing was great. Would come again

Had a great stay at Star Pine Lodge. Great location to beach and within walking distance of good restaurants. Beautiful area and coastline. Accomodation, gardens, pool, facilities, food, little extras excellent. Felt very welcome by the staff who could have been more helpful in every respect giving tips and create a really nice atmosphere for guests. Surf instructors were great and will forever remember the conversations and

music in the bus going to/from the beech. Great place to recharge. Many thanks.

Yoga was awesome, location was just amazing and the atmosphere is unlike anywhere else.

Très bel endroit, à 10 min à pied de plages magnifiques avec couchers du soleil, facilement accessible depuis Lisbonne avec le train de banlieue et le transfert en voiture jusqu'à l'hotel, chambres super confortables, belle piscine, cuisine partagée et staff super sympa qui fait qu'on se sent comme à la maison! Buffet p'tit déjà trop bon! Studio de yoga tout en bois ouvert avec un très bon cours de vinyasa, cours collectif de surf dans une école de surf avec moniteurs sympas.

The staff at Star Pine Lodge are very helpful and they made me feel at home. Juan makes delicious porridge and he taught me how to make it as well. There’s only a short walk to the beach and it’s beautiful. Lovely hiking trail, food market where I brought some fish kebabs and it’s so fresh and tasty😋 Yoga teachers and lessons were amazing, wish I could record them so I can practice at home.

Liked this place so much! The Starpine Lodge feels like home and my room was beautiful and clean with a great view. The pool and the yard are nice and there's a good common kitchen. I also liked the fresh herbs you could take from the garden. This didn't feel like a budget place, great value for money!

Juan, Susana and Sam were super nice and took great care of us visitors. Susana's breakfast was amazing and the lunch package is a good idea because there is plenty of time to explore the surroundings between the yoga classes. There are also grocery stores and good restaurants nearby.

The location is awesome: the ocean is right there, not too hot, beautiful nature everywhere, hiking routes, good connections to for example Sintra and Lisbon (also Uber is very cheap and convenient), great activities and trips. There is a walking distance to several beaches that are very beautiful.

I had yoga nine times, and especially loved the teacher Madalena. She is super sweet and warm and has a lot of knowledge of yoga. Her take on yoga is very spiritual but the classes were also dynamic, kind of like vinyasa flow. There were a lot beginners but I still found enough challenge and new ideas from the classes even though I've practiced yoga for many years. And from what I heard the beginners liked the classes as well.

Very relaxing holiday surrounded by beautiful scenery and great people. Good place for a solo traveler. I will definitely come back and recommend this place to friends!

Staff extremely helpful, friendly, Suzana amazing cook, breakfast was top with her surprises in the kitchen.

Madelain and Masha were very qualified yoga teachers! Loved each session and i am quite advanced myself, but they found style for each and every student.

All the staff at Star Pine Lodge were excellent, Juan met me at the station, Suzanne made incredible breakfasts and my yoga teacher Madelena was just amazing. It was better than I had hoped for and I would definitely go back.

The people of the hostel made my week. Susanna and Juan are so sweet, they really are the best. The yoga lessons were perfect and the location is beautiful and restful.

Super freundliches Personal. Nähe zum Strand. 2 von der Lage her traumhafte Restaurants. Essen dort auch sehr gut. Mir persönlich haben die Yogastunden bei Catarina Lino am besten gefallen. Super Kletterlokalitäten.

Die Ruhe und wunderschöne Anlage. Ich hab mich noch nie so erholt gefühlt. Die Kombination von Surfen und Yoga ist perfekt für mich gewesen. Man hört nur das Meer rauschen und den Gesang der Vögel. Für mich ist klar, dass ich definitiv wieder dorthin fahren werde.

Besonders gut gefiel mir die kreative Einrichtung. Die Zimmer waren so gestaltet, dass wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt haben. Auch der Gemeinschaftsbereich drinnen und draußen ist super schön. Das Frühstück ist vielfältig und sehr lecker/nahrhaft (gute Produkte).

Fijne plek, dicht bij zee. Goed verzorgd, super relaxte sfeer. Fijn gebiked, prachtig gewandeld, fantastisch die ruige zee. Het weer hielp ook mee want zonder verwarming in het huisje was het best fris zo begin april. Maar met een paar truien en een actieve buitendag met volop beweging was het prima te doen. De kastelen van Sintra zijn ook zeer het bezoeken waard .

-the involvement of the staff to make your holiday as comfortable as possible.

-the different styles the yogateachers Magdalena and Mascha used. Everybody, no matter what level of yoga, could learn something.

Thanks so much to the team for an amazing stay, great talks, warm hugs and your flexibility to meet our individual needs. I loved how my stay spontaneously turned into a surf camp 😀. Stay beautiful! I'll be back

We booked this retreat advertised as a budget one so we knew that the lodge would not be luxury accommodation. It is however very cute and the rooms surpassed our expectations, clean and comfortable. Two of us had to share a bathroom with other guests but that was only with one other person and it worked perfectly. There are only very few rooms and guests at one time so the lodge provided a very quiet and relaxing environment. The breakfast buffet was just superb, quality fresh food and plentiful. I enjoyed the yoga classes even though it was at times difficult as the instructor ( the lovely Madalena) had to cope with very different abilities, we had complete beginners and advanced individuals in the same class. The staff on premises were kind and helpful. I loved the fact that the lodge is a few minutes' walk from the ocean.

Die Yogaeinheiten waren sehr gut mit einer tollen Lehrerin, die Ruhe, Übungen und Spiritualität steht's im Ausgleich zueinander hielt. Das Frühstück danach war herrlich und abwechslungsreich!

Loved the chilled out atmosphere of the hostel- more like a shared hotel villa environment. The yoga was enriching and challenging everyday, perfect instructor that could cater to every individual!

Mooie locatie, fijne service van het team, gezellig en behulpzaam. Heerlijk en uitgebreid ontbijt en lunchpakket, volledige keuken, hele prettige yogalessen van geweldige yogalerares, strand op 5 minuten lopen, mooie omgeving. Echt een aanrader!

Gedeelde badkamer was geen probleem. Er was ook nog een extra badkamer te gebruiken.

The resident staff David Sam Petra and of course the wonderful yoga teacher Maddelana made my experience even more perfect. The short walk to the beautiful beach or just lazing around the pool after my yoga twice a day. The evenings were social if you wanted or complete space if needed. The whole environment was ideal and I will be back in the near future for another trip. Thank You x

Riding mountain bike with Pedro through the amazing and very changing Sintra Park and Cascais seaside.

Practising yoga with Maddalena in a powerful way ffeding mind and body.

Just enjoying nature, silence and kindness of the very mixed and pleasant staff around

Schöne Unterkunft, sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal. Yoga Lektionen waren halt abhängig von der Lehrerin sehr gut bis nicht so mein Ding. Würde es trotzdem wieder buchen wegen der Landschaft und auch anderen sportlichen Aktivitäten.

Starpine lodge is a beautiful place to get away from the city and enjoy everything that the area around Sintra has to offer. The lodge itself has lovely rooms set around a nice pool area, with a communal kitchen, free wifi, access to fresh fruit and tea all day, and warm, friendly staff who will help you with anything you need. It's a 5 minute walk to the beach and some wonderful fish restaurants.

The yoga sessions were some of the best I've ever done. The studio is set in beautiful grounds and the classes are really holistic and inspiring, as well as being a good workout.

Staff are really flexible around the other activities that are on offer - just let them know what you would like to do and they will organise it for you!

A truly wonderful holiday experience :)
