Adorámos! Sem duvida um sitio a regressar!
· Ótima localização, quarto extremamente confortável e limpo, staff (manager e filhos assim como os restantes funcionários) super profissionais e educados, vistas maravilhosas sobre o mar.
Best location, host, clean and quiet room, breakfast and vibe, loved it!
· Eduardo was a complete legend and bent over backwards for us during our stay, the beach at the bottom of the hill is absolutely stunning with the best surf and swimming of the Santa Teresa beach I would say. RocoMar is an amazing restaurant at the bottom of the hill on the beach - the food in Santa Teresa in general is incredible!!
