Green Element Guesthouse

Had a fantastic stay at this guesthouse! The place was beautiful, comfortable, and incredibly welcoming. Pedro was the perfect host, he was attentive and made me feel right at home. Everything was clean, well looked after, and perfect for a relaxing stay. I really enjoyed my stay here and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Costa. Will definitely stay again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

That it was booked up and I couldn’t stay longer!

clean, comfortable, well organised and nice rooms. Pedro and Ines are also super friendly and can give you recommendations e.g. for surf lessons. Getting into Lisbon is also unproblematic and currently still relatovel cheap with Uber.

Man hat sich sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Zimmer war sehr schön. Die gesamte Unterkunft war sauber und das Personal war mega freundlich. Wir durften etwas früher ins Zimmer und auch am Abreisetag war es kein Problem, die Taschen länger in der Unterkunft zu belassen.

Leider liegt die Unterkunft etwas außerhalb. Zum Strand läuft man circa 20 Minuten. Zudem hatten sie leider ein kleines Problem mit Fliegen in der Unterkunft. Man musste ein wenig Acht geben, die Fenster tagsüber geschlossen zu halten.

The guesthouse is a house changed into a guest house - 4 rooms altogether, so you will not meet with many other people. There is a well equipped kitchen (fridge with own shelf for each room, Nespresso coffee machine, water boiler, stove, kitchen utensils). Some products to share, which were left from previous guests - worth to look around before big shopping (I found some herbs, oil, salt, so the basics are there). The rooms are modern, and as on the photos. There is a shared dining room as well. There is one separate shared toilet, and one bathroom with 3 showers and an other toilet. It is located like 15 mins walk away from the coast line, there are direct buses going to that direction. 3 mins away there is a lovely coffee, where you can buy breakfast (tons of pastry and coffee - the Portuguese experience :) ). The owner is also very kind, he let me go there early, and leave my stuff there while cleaning happened. He also offered to set up a desk in my room in case I want to work from there. (I did work couple of hours from the dining room - I did not need more, so I was fine. But it was a kind gesture.)

The house is a renovated house, which is lovely, however the doors close a little loud, so you could hear the neighbor rooms coming and going. In the shower there are 3 showers with doors - but the doors are basically from glass, so possible to look through. So not possible to use for several people at once - it did not cause a problem when I was there, as there are only 4 rooms in the house, so you will find your slot easily where you could use it alone. So it is not a minus, just letting it here for the record. The showers are tiny.
