    Relax at this beachside retreat with easy access to Porto Santo's golden shores.
"If you're looking for a modern and boutique experience, this is the place to stay. We were there for two nights, three days and really enjoyed our stay. The property is modern, clean and very no frills. The breakfast buffet and food options for lunch are terrific! We ate dinner at local restaurants, so can't really speak much on the dinner options. The location is nicely set back from the beach, however, it's about a 5-8 min walk down a road located in front of the hotel. Beach...

"Location is far from any amenities which was ok for us as we knew this in advance and have a car. Often there is a nice trade off between amenities and peace and quiet, but there are lots of dogs on properties around the house, that bark mindlessly when someone walks past, making it not very peaceful. Some people are used to this and might not mind at all. Others..."
