History

The company was founded by Miguel and Hugo, both from Porto. In 2007, a friend of Miguel’s, Carlos, came to visit him in Vila do Bispo, as they had been friends for a long time. On that same visit, he fell in love with the area and the desire to live here began to grow. He returned to Porto, where he owned a bar. The years passed and, in 2014, Carlos sold the bar and moved to Vila do Bispo to open the bar at the Good Feeling Hostel. He served breakfast and cooked dinner for the guests for five years.

In the meantime, an opportunity arose to open a hostel in Luz, and he spent a year in both businesses. During this period, Good Feeling grew as a company and was no longer just a hostel. They had set up a Stand Up Paddle tour company and a surf school, which ended up generating a boom in business for these two activities.
With the company growing, in 2019 Miguel and Hugo decided to separate the Hostel from the activities and invited Carlos to be responsible for the Hostel part.

Values

One of the company’s main values is to remain focused on its customers and on a close, true and lasting relationship.
