Retiro Atlântico

We had a truly memorable stay! Natacha is a wonderful host—friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Since we had an early check-out, we couldn’t stay for breakfast, but she kindly prepared sandwiches for us the night before and left them in the fridge, which was such a thoughtful touch. The location is beautiful, surrounded by exotic trees and plants that make you feel like you're in a botanical garden. The views are breathtaking—we enjoyed a stunning sunset followed by an amazing stargazing experience. The yurt itself is spacious, cozy, and beautifully designed with natural materials and washed linen bedding, which added to the charm. The outdoor kitchen was a fantastic addition. It was well-equipped and allowed us to prepare meals while enjoying the fresh air and the beauty of the surroundings. The private bathroom was spotless, and breakfast was fantastic, featuring homemade food, farm-fresh eggs, fruit, and the best passion fruit juice we've ever had. Highly recommended for a unique and relaxing stay!

The only minor issue we had was extremely high humidity in the yurt, especially after a rainy night. However, it's completely understandable since there is no air-conditioning or dehumidifier—after all, it is a yurt, so this is part of the natural experience.

Great location, unique experience considering what's is usually offered in the islands. Calm and great view is ensured! Natasha was very nice and helpful even before arriving, the communication with her was always easy and costant. Very good selection and quality for the breakfast included!

If you like nature this a the place for you. Absolutely exceptional

We loved everything

A beautiful location nestled in an organic garden overlooking the highest mountain in Portugal, Mount Pico. Everything was quite smooth & the breakfast was quite delicious

We liked our one night stay so much that we booked two more nights, Natacha is a great host and can totally recommend it to the future travelers.

- most fantastic views on pico - wonderful surroundings (nature) - great, clean and modern bathroom - best breakfast of our trip (local products, fruits from own garden)

Everything was amazing!!!!!

Amazing and lovely. Quiet and ressourceful. Wish we could have stayed longer

Nothing

The Yurt and location are beautifull, the bathroom outside the room is great and perfect for a romantic trip.

The first day we got there the Yurt was quite hot. Also not ideal if you get rainny days.

Beautiful surroundings with incredible views, comfortable accommodation (I mean, it's a yurt, so calibrate your expectations. but it's a comfortable yurt), friendly staff, terrific breakfast featuring ingredients grown on the property

There was some confusion around payments when we booked — the hosts asked for a wire transfer, which is expensive to do from the US and requires information that wasn't provided. Since it wasn't possible, our booking was initially cancelled. I would have gladly paid a premium if I could have just have used a credit card! (In the end, the hosts allowed us to pay the full balance in cash on arrival, but cash is expensive if you need to get it from an ATM with a foreign currency account)

The hospitality, the setting, the breakfast, the room and the view were amazing!!!

Nothing. It was perfect!
