Reviews
108 house is a perfekt place for a yoga retreat or yoga holidays. It just made me fall in love with it from the very beginning.
I felt not like in a hotel, but like at home with a nice a caring family. And on top of that: Federico is the best yoga teacher I ever had.
Add the most delicious breakfasts ever, an amazing view from a terrasse and you get the perfect place to be.

Ever since I arrived, Federico, Riccardo and their team made me feel most welcomed into 108 House. They made sure to cater for their guests needs, thus creating a most inviting environment.
The attention to detail was always there and you could see that on the presentation of the amazing food at breakfast and dinner. The yoga lessons taught by Federico were a pleasure to attend.
Federico’s attention to his students is reassuring, especially when someone needs correcting the poses. If you are looking for some time devoted to traditional yoga, with a caring teacher and at the same time enjoy great food and stunning views of Ericeira’s sea, this is the place to go!
