"Relaxed vibes and friendly staff"
The common spaces are very welcoming and facilitate interactions. Vegetarian meals were delicious, completely home made and very different every day.
The 2 yoga teachers Rebecca and Federico were very good and had different styles of yoga which were well complementary.

"We had the most amazing week at Ondina"
Ondina has an amazing atmosphere. Both people how work here and people visiting is lovely people to be around. The food is absolutely amazing and made with so much great vegetables and fruits. The yoga sessions is easy for people how are new to yoga, and variates from calm meditation to a bit more high tempo yoga. I will highly recommended Ondina guest house, and for sure visit again.

"A welcoming, tranquil place"
Ondina was exactly what I needed at this point in time. This guest house is welcoming and cosy and instils a sense of tranquillity. The staff are friendly and welcoming and always on hand to help. My single room had en suite bathroom, it was simple but very cosy and comfortable. Yoga sessions were offered in the morning and evening, yoga instructors are very nice and professional. There was a free back massage which was great, very thorough. The absolute best was the food! A beautiful buffet of sweet and savoury choices are offered for breakfast and changes every day. A lunch box can be taken from the breakfast offerings, which is really handy if you then go to the beach or excursions. Dinner is a three course meal and the menu changes every day. I’m not vegetarian but I absolutely loved the creativity and flavour matching of the food offered, which was all vegetarian. Ondina is located in a very quiet spot, not a lot in the immediate vicinity, but the beach is walking distance, the coastline here is quite breathtaking, it’s cliffs and it can be a bit windy. Lovely sunset spots in the evening. Excursions to nearby Ericeira (lovely formerly fishing village) and Sintra can easily be organised and its quite cheap. Also, there is a surf schools and you can book in from Ondina. The whole area has a strong yoga and surf culture and has a chilled vibe. Personally, I enjoyed my stay at Ondina very much and can see myself coming back! Thank you!

Het eten!!! wat een heerlijkheid! Het is een superfijn mooi en rustig guesthouse om in te verblijven. De mensen zijn vriendelijk, alles is heel relaxed. Yoga en surfen is een superfijne combinatie, en met het eten erbij heb je verder niks nodig voor een geslaagde vakantieweek.

"Amazing week of relaxing & fun surfing"
It was an amazing experience! The other guests were also grand and they made the trip so much more fun.
I recommend going solo or with a friend!
The food was also really good, even as a non-vegan most dishes were outstandingly good looking and tasty.
Unfortunately my luggage was delayed by 4 days, and the staff were very understanding and accommodating. They went above and beyond, which I really appreciated. (Thanks again Nari, Malaika and the others!)

It was a wonderful retreat. Yoga and surf classes were great fun, the food was fantastic, the accommodation was very comfortable, the location was beautiful, the on-site staff was super nice and helpful and the other guests were lovely. A great thing for solo travelers who are looking for relaxation and inspiration with yoga, delicious food and good conversations as well as want to burn off some energy while surfing or take a leisurely stroll through Ericeira. Thank you very much!

"Relaxing stay"
Nice location close to the beach. Very friendly staff. Nice room. Great food. Because of the coastal area temperature is not as high as for example in Lisbon and the nights are cooler so you can sleep well.
Doing yoga twice a day. One of the teachers was very skilled, I have learned a lot from him.

"What an experience "
I came to this retreat not knowing what to expect but it could not have been better. The location, in a small village near the sea and less than 10 min drive from big town. The staff were the most helpful, nothing ever being a problem. I was very lucky that there were some lovely ladies also doing yoga and this made it even more enjoyable.
The yoga was brilliant as we had afew different teachers all doing different styles. And the food!!!! Absolutely unbelievable. I will definitely be back and definitely recommending to others. I cannot thank everyone enough for the lovely stay.
The hardest bit was leaving!

"Beautiful yoga retreat with great food and great people"
The food was absolutely amazing. If they were to make a cookbook, it would be flying off the shelves! The staff were incredibly friendly and always forward coming. The yoga teachers were excellent and offered a great mix of practices. The yoga studio with the sea view is simply breathtaking and yoga by the cliffs is an unforgettable experience. The massage was also amazing. After all I have never been this relaxed in my life. Thank you so much for this incredible experience!

"Thing to improve, but going in a nice direction."
The food is tasty, traditional and vegan.
Friendly staff in the guest house and yoga lessons, in the “ok” area for the surfing.
It is easy tho met another visitors, so was not difficult to know them all, the challenging part was at some point how to divide my time to make good friendships.

"Amazing takeaway to the Paradise"
Food, accommodation, atmosphere in the Ondina Guest house, all has been revised at best quality. The only thing left to do is to simply enjoy your time there by having wonderful and various yoga sessions and practice surfing with great instructors from the surf school.
Definitely Ericeira now takes special place in my heart!
Huge brigada to Lilian, Susanna and Malayka :)

"JUST BOOK IT!! FULL RESET"
I don't even know where to start. I had an unforgettable experience at the Ondina Guest House. It felt like home. The house has a perfect place next to an cliff and the beach. The staff is really exceptional! Always kind and attentive and make sure that their guests feel good. The meals were delicious and filling. I especially enjoyed the breakfast (mmmmh!!). The decoration in the Guest House was simple, authentic and peaceful. My surf lessons with Progress school were spectacular and I had fun every time, even if it's a bit of a hassle (thanks Joana, Antonia, Miguel and Né for your professionalism, patience and kindness). Yoga was also a challenge for me, but thanks to exceptional yoga teachers and different yoga styles I was able to progress and learn to know my body even better. We had lessons at different places connected to nature. During your free time you can just relax on the beach 5 minutes from the Guest house. The back massage was just perfect after an intense week! Thank you Tomé.
I think this place really attracts good people, because all the other guests were nice, open minded and in the end, we were kind of a little family together. I genuinely enjoyed everything and will definitely come back!
Obrigada Liliana, Susana e Malaika!

"Great place. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!"
My stay at Ondina Guesthouse was fantastic. The Ondina team around Marta and Liliana is always kind, in a good mood and does everything to make you feel at home immediately. I stayed in the dorm and felt very comfortable there. It's a great opportunity to directly get to know other guests. In general, the atmosphere is very familiar. Yoga and surfing were great fun. The Shalla right next to the cliffs is definitely a highlight. Also, being picked up and dropped off by the surf school for all the lessons is very comfortable. The Ondina Team always made sure that the meals could be adapted to the surfing times. The food itself was great and I already miss the breakfast buffet! At the end of my stay, I had the massage which was great and I also got good tips on how to prepare my neck and back better in the future.

Ondina guesthouse is a very unique place and the retreats are high quality, perfectly organized and done with lots of love. The community feel, the facilities, the good vibes, amazing food, everything really.. The only bad thing about it is that it was too short! :)
Thank you Liliana, Susana, and all who work so hard to make this place what it is. I'll be back 💛🌊

Ondina est une destination absolument incomparable, une grande maison familiale, accueille les voyageurs du monde entier. Le cadre et l'aménagement de celle-ci reflètent les qualités humaines et professionnelles du staff et des propriétaires qui sont hors pair. On se sent comme en famille, comme à la maison tout en gardant son intimité si tel est notre souhait. La qualité et la variété des mets sont exceptionnelles, tout est frais, local et préparé avec Amour et Savoir-faire.
La Gentillesse et la bonne Humeur du personnel créent une ambiance idéale au bien-être et au repos, tout y est simple et chaleureux, on vous y rend votre séjour le plus agréable que possible. Les massages sont à conseiller tout comme les cours de Yoga et de Surf. A 5 min à pied d'une plage non touristique, on peut se détendre dans une atmosphère locale.

I loved staying at Ondina! The people there are great, relaxed, helpful, kind. The food they serve is really really tasty and original. I loved yoga especially with Catarina. And the place that you do yoga at is the best Shala you’ll ever do yoga at. The Progress surf school has plenty of great teachers, I especially liked the sessions with Antonio and Joana. I am not a beginner and they saw that and made sure that I improve my surf skills. I came back rested, grounded, calm and I will definitely come back!

"Couldn't be a better guest house for my first trip"
Where I can start. It was my first time to do a travel like this. First time of everything, alone, Portugal, yoga retreat and surfing. The outcome is perfect only.
The guest house has a very calm and with a lovely charm. Clean and family. Liliana, Suse and Marta treat you professional, but with a feeling, you would be like a friend! The house has a perfect place next to an cliff and the beach. The view every eve, was amazing.
The organisation of surf and yoga was very very good (especially the room next to the cliffs) Tomè gave us a very interesting and exciting e-bike tour, with funny insights of his hometown:) his massage was a perfect relaxing after a lot of cool surf and yoga sessions. The yoga was very great and I learned a of new poses! (thx to Katya ;) All people there were very nice, open minded and in the end, we were kind of a little family together.
At least the food! I am not a vegetarian and I was afraid that could bit too less food for all activities there. But it was just ”wow”. The desserts were just crazy delicious and every day we got a lovely breakfast, lunch and dinner. I would pay for all receipes 😁
In the end, just can't compare it with other guest houses. But it is not needed to do, it was the perfect first Portugal travel for me and hope to come back one time again!
Stay healthy guys.

Perfect retreat with amazing versatile vegetarian food. Amazing welcome. The bedroom was clean and very well decorated. Katya was a very good yoga teacher adapting herself to our requests. And Progress surf school teachers were passionate. Do the bike tour, it's worth it!

"Beyond expectations!"
I genuinely enjoyed everything. The guesthouse is a family run business, so it's very cosy and welcoming. The yoga lessons were very good, we had 3 different teachers during my stay, which for me is a bonus, as a beginner I could experience different styles. We had lessons at the cliff, 5 minutes from the guesthouse and at shala with Ocean view a couple of times.
The surf lessons also were amazing. The instructors were supportive and very funny! I was quite intimidated by the ocean but they sensed it and were always there to help me out and to cheer me on.
The back massage was the cherry on the cake, after an intense week.
Everything was very clean and well mantained. The house itself is pretty and just five minutes from the beach.
But my favourite part was the food: It was G R E A T! I was always looking forward for the next meal. As a vegan, sometimes it's a bit of a struggle when it comes to travelling. Ondina instead serves nutrious, beautifully presented and delicious food. Loved it! And the desserts... just yummy!
And above all, the retreat is a great value for money.
I rented a car for the week and suggest it if you want to stroll around and explore the area and other beaches.
Obrigada Ondina!

"A good place to stay"
They are always very friendly and ready to assist where needed. I felt very welcome, from the first moment on.
The rooms are clean and cosy, also a lot of space in the private rooms. They organized the surf classes, so you didn't have to worry about that. The food was excellent! They managed to provide me with an alternative every time, because I am allergic to some foods. And the massage was also a very welcome moment of relaxation. It was that good, that I immediately booked a second one as well!

Ondina Guest House offers you a peaceful stay. Liliana’s vegan food is amazing and Tome’s massages too. Yoga classes were not as expected but Liliana searched a fast solution. Sao Lourenço beach is beautiful and quiet and surfer classes with Progress school were really helping a lot and funny as well.

I had an unforgettable experience at Ondina Guest House, a true home away from home! The staff is really exceptional, kind and attentive. The guest house is beautifully decorated and peaceful, located in a nice and quiet location just 2 mins walk from the beach. I enjoyed my very first surf lessons with Progress surf school, Joao is a very kind and professional instructor. Also I will never forget Adriano, who introduced me to yoga via a really personal approach. I stayed during the covid-19 regulations but still managed to have an amazing relaxing vacation. I will definitely come back!

Mir hat eigentlich alles gefallen: das Ondina-Team, Yoga, Surfen, die Nähe zum Strand, das leckere Essen von Liliane, die Massage von Tomé, Martas freundliche und kompetente Art sowie die Herzlichkeit der dritten Schwester (leider habe ich mir den Namen nicht gemerkt): alles sehr entspannt, flexibel und freundlich.
Ich habe auch sehr nette Leute kennengelernt, mit denen ich gerne Brot und Bett geteilt habe:) Damit möchte ich sagen, dass das Teilen des Zimmers eher ein Vorteil als ein Nachteil war!
Ich werde die Unterkunft wieder wählen, falls ich unter ähnlichen Bedingungen wieder reisen sollte: mega für Alleinreisende.

"Dream Holiday during Corona"
The guesthouse is a family business and has a very cozy and familiar atmosphere. I booked a room with 3 beds and found a very clean room which I shared with 2 other girls. The food was vegetarian with vegan and gluten free options. They also have a really good coffee machine. They emphasize a lot on the details like regional self-made soap, no plastic waste, they remembered what you like and how you drink your coffee and they organized and managed your day with yoga and surfing to my fullest satisfaction. Also it is possible to walk to the beach or do different activities like biking and hiking. During the whole time they were taking active hygiene measurements because of corona and I felt safe and secure.

"Amazing!"
I give Ondina Guest House a 10 out of 10. I absolutely loved everything and had the best holiday. Liliana, Martha, Suzie, Tomé, the cat Cappuccino, and everyone else from the guesthouse were so incredibly kind and helpful. From asking how my surf class went to remembering how I drink my coffee: it was all such a pleasant experience. Also, the food is so delicious and Liliana made something special each day. The accommodation is beautiful and located in a quiet area close to the beach. Also, the surf classes at Progress Surfschool and yoga classes from Adriano were really great. Friendly instructors and suited for both beginners or more advanced people. As a female solo traveler, I had an amazing experience at Ondina Guest House and I can recommend it to everyone. I will for sure come back!

"Excellent time out from the daily stress "
Everything was just great in this Yoga retreat one week holiday.
The host is super friendly, forthcoming and a great cook.
The yoga teacher very emphatic and adjusting to the needs and expectation of the participants.
And the massage was great too.
The apartment is simple but clean and sufficient. It is close to the beach.
Daily trips possible to close cities, or just a hiking tour on the rocks along the sea.
I will definitely visit this place again.
