“Charming and romantic, the executive suite was excellent. Cosy, friendly atmosphere, spotless rooms, and a delightful pool area. The staff were friendly, and the Italian cuisine from the new cook Bruno was amazing. Don't miss the wood-fired sauna, and you can rent a boat to explore the island.”

8.8Verified guest

“Very romantic, and the Executive Suite stood out. Everything felt cosy in this small, friendly pousada, clean throughout, with an adorable pool area. The staff were kind, especially the new cook Bruno, who speaks English and cooks Italian-influenced dishes. His homemade Italian bread with parmigiano-basil grissini, served by the pool, is unforgettable. The wood-fired sauna is great for couples, and you can find boat rental for island trips.”
