"We had a wonderful stay"

Exceptional

Fabulous views from our suite; very comfortable little hotel with a personal touch. Lovely touches such as fresh flowers in both public areas and our room, and binoculars on a shelf by a window overlooking the bay. The thing that made our stay outstanding was the team: they were all very friendly, could not do enough for you and were super-responsive to any queries. Would definitely return.

Although the views are amazing, it definitely requires a drive or taxi into the centre for shops and restaurants. We were fine with this, but it’s something to be aware of.

Piscina aquecida, visual incrível, pessoas extremamente atenciosas e preocupadas (Hello Mark) com seu bem estar, acomodação confortável

Apesar do ventilador dar conta, uma sugestão seria um ar condicionado. Devido a proximidade da vegetação tinham muitas formigas, caso deixasse algo fora do frigobar. Mas nada disso atrapalhou a estadia.
