Everything. It was really well equipped with the coffee machine in the common area that could always be used, also water tanks and board games. In our room we had a lot of space and beach chairs, parasole, beach bag and beach towels. The owners were very nice and helpful, the beach was a minute away. The value for money was really good, we loved our stay here!

“Had an great stay in this pousada, extremely attentive service, delicious breakfast and prime views”
The breakfast was served every morning by the property owner, who is married to a great cook. We had freshly brewed coffee, homemade yogurt, cakes made with the surplus fruit from the garden and eggs cooked to perfection. The house is very well located, providing us with stunning views of the sea and island. The communication with the hosts was great, they are very friendly and always ready to share the best tips on the island´s restaurants.

“Amazing views and breakfast!”
Everything was wonderful here! The location and view are very special, and Gabriela was responsive and proactive in communicating with us ahead of our stay to make sure we got the correct boat. She also organised an extra, small boat to bring us closer to the pousada because the pier was damaged in a storm when we visited. She met us straight off the boat and was so warm and attentive throughout our stay. The breakfast was exceptional with delicious, homemade bread and cakes, and eating on the terrace with the beautiful view was a really special experience. The room is spacious, clean and well-designed. The little kitchen is useful and well-equipped. We also tried the frozen pie one evening and these were tasty. Can't recommend enough! Thank you for a wonderful experience. Oh, and the cat Marisco is suuuuuper cute!

“Wonderful placed”
Lucas and Gabriella made a wondeful spot on this island. It is a less touristic part of Ilha Grande and great for hiking as well as relaxing in their garden or on one of te beaches. The breakfast was homemade and sitting on 'the grande table' you easily connect with other guests. The bed was very comfortable and the small kitchen gives you the possibility to cook your own dinner (bring fresh stuff from Angro dos Reis with you as the local supermarket does not have any fresh vegetables). Worth a visit!

“Beautiful beachside property with a delicious breakfast, helpful hosts and a friendly cat!”
Pretty much 10/10 across the board to be honest! Wonderful friendly hosts, beautiful setting, delicious breakfast every morning (with home made yoghurt and cake!), free Netflix in every room, 3 mins walk from the beach and a very sweet cat too. 8 mins from the ferry terminal, and we were met on arrival to help bring our bags up too which was a lovely touch. The beach itself is beautiful and surprisingly quiet, but has 4 or 5 very good restaurants on it too. There are ample cooking facilities and a brand spanking new bbq area if you feel like cooking at home. A 20 minute walk from the home takes you to another very private beach, and just past that you can go snorkelling with turtles in Lagoa Verde. Would recommend this place to anyone, a very special and beautiful spot!

Selection was not huge but quality of the breakfast was good. Especially the self-made cake was amazing. Nice views, beautiful common area and super friendly host! We borrowed snorkeling gear one day to go to the green lagoon which was amazing. We were very happy with everything!

“We had a wonderful stay”
We had a great time here! We especially loved the large room with its own kitchen, big fridge, private bathroom with hot water and good water pressure, as well as a Smart TV with Netflix (already logged in with the hotel account)! Gabriela and Lukas are super nice, always helpful, and easy to contact. The breakfast is a real highlight, with homemade bread and cake, and a great view of the sea. Everything is very clean, and the common area is super cozy. The beach is only a 2-minute walk away, and there are a few mini-markets nearby.

The hotel has a beautiful surrounding and view from the terrace to the sea, the hosts are incredibly friendly and welcoming, the breakfast is excellent and the location of the hotel is perfect - just a few steps away from the beach, besides the jungle and next to hiking paths. We stayed a few days and it was pure relaxation. We’ll come back :)
