The property was well-run and comfortable. Beautiful location in Praia do Vau district short walk to the beach, praia do vau, which is lovely, and the big grocery stores Aldies and Lidles. Also, next year everything will be back to normal. Great-sized units on the pull-out bed and affable staff. Nice food for breakfast at the restaurant.

Well, it was a such wonderful stay which was 4 nights. Its location was beautiful, short walk to a local supermarket 0.5 miles, Alvor, Praia da Rocha and Praia do Vau and the mountains, Bengali cave tour, and other places. We had lunch at nearby Master Tony's Pizza, tried their fast food options.
Shame the bathroom was cold.
