It was such a great place to stay! Janet helped us set up tours and shared breakfast with us in the mornings. There was a small group of interesting people staying at the pousada and we got to know one another. I couldn't recommend the pousada high enough! more

The atmosphere is cool and relaxed throughout the day, unhurried breakfast... more
