One-of-a-kind property. Beautiful architecture, great attention to details. Feels very "zen". Right beside the most walkable beach on the island (our opinion). I already miss it!

I can’t say enough good things about this beautiful property. The staff was phenomenal. The room (and upgrade) was immaculate, spacious and comfortable. The food was wonderful at every meal we had. You could not find a better spot to use as a base to explore the island.

My fiancé and I had one of our best vacations to date. The villa we had was beautiful and our view was one of the best to wake up to every morning. Our staff was very accommodating with local recommendations for food, travel and ways to move around the island. We were given a cell phone to communicate with the front desk each and every question we had a they were very responsive. We will 100 percent be back.

Ines Silva went above and beyond for us during our stay. Five star employee. Dining staff seems unhappy and non engaging. The rooms are dark and drab. Rooms / outside of buildings are in need of a renovation badly. We stayed at Senhora da Rosa prior to staying here and got spoiled. Ines saved the ratings. Thank you again for all you helped us with.
