Okay, this is a true gem. If you just look for a tropical paradise, look no further. The property is right on the beach, and what beach it is! Totally clean, wide, sandy, with roaring waves that put you to sleep each night. At night, in winter months, five species of turtles come to lay eggs and I saw them each night. There is a river cutting the beach in two; and when you cross the river, the beach becomes just impeccable. Magical. You can even enter the river that runs to the sea and swim upstream. The vistas you get around you are simply breathtaking. I have never seen such beauty in my life and I have traveled quite a bit. The bungalows are simple, but clean and comfortable. The mosquito net worked very well, but there were very few mosquitoes anyway there. I took the Malarone daily, but people around me did not. I asked around the long time residents and no-one ever had malaria, while living on the island. I would not take them pils again. There is a shared toilet and shower there - both very clean and functional. The water in the shower is cold-lukewarm- but you will pray it were colder, since it is hot outside. The owner Tomás is truly very helpful. He speaks ONLY Spanish and Portuguese, but with the help of google translate we were able to communicate very well. He is very helpful and will do anything to accommodate your wishes and needs. He helped with the trip to Isla das Rolas (the Equator trip) as well as with the trek to the foot of Cao Grande. Oh, by the way, you can see Cao Grande from the alcove on the premises or from the point where the river runs to the sea. Also from the river itself. There is wifi at the reception and around, and this wifi is good, reliable and strong. The entire complex is totally eco, powered by solar energy only. Breakfast is included in the price, but dinner can be ordered with Tomás. It is usually fish or octopus and, together with the breakfast can become a bit repetitive so I advise you to bring some provisions with you.

Great location Accomodation and location. Very friendly staff.

Very beautiful place,staff very professional and very family atmosphere. I come back for sure

One of the best experiences on the island. The view is outstanding, the bungalows are very clean and above all, the staff is very welcolming and take turns to prepare excellent meals. They take to heart to create a cosy atmosphere that gives you a change of scene.

We had a warm welcome and the view ist just awesome! Different breakfast with homemade jams was served every day. The cabin was nice too. Highly recommended!! There is also a little shop in the village and a good restaurant nearby catering for everything you need.

Minimalist, comfortable accommodation in a sustainable environment. The owner Maria and the other staff are very friendly and helpful.

Super view, nice host - speaks English nice bungalow :)

I stayed here for several days over Christmas and found it charming and the perfect place to disconnect for a while. I loved hearing the sound of the waves each night. The accommodation provides all that you need for a rustic stay on the beach. Without speaking any Portugese, i was able to communicate with the staff in French. English was a bit more tricky but there is always a way!

This place is just paradise! The little bungalows are super cute and comfy, with air conditioning, big comfortable bed, big bathroom and a living room. You sleep listening to the waves because the houses are just steps away from the beach, and the view is just astonishing. There is a restaurant at the top, with even better views, and the staff there is super nice and helpful. You need to tell them in advance if you want to have dinner or lunch with them, and they prepare tasty dishes. This was, without any doubt, one of the best places I have stayed at, because of the cute houses and the unbelievable nature around them, along with the two beaches just few minutes away. We will be back!

Very clean, beautiful, great breakfast
