We stayed with my wife at Quinta do Mar for 4 days and it was great. From the beginning we felt most welcome. The whole atmosphere was really classy and warm. Architecture reminded me of boutique hotel even if there are only four rooms. Breakfasts and bar were delicious. Keep up the good work Chris and Nick! more

Stayed with Nick and Chris in a 6 star facility. Lovely breakfasts, well appointed rooms and a chocolate on the pillow at bedtime. Would not stay anywhere else on the Island. Top notch place -cannot recommend it highly enough. more
