Standing on our balcony looking out at the ocean was wonderful. Three nearby restaurants (Steak & Beach, Cafe do Mar and Sorretino) were excellent. It was only a short walk to beaches away from the main town (Julia, Bica) and not a long walk to a wonderful more secluded beach (Abraaozinho). The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good - including eggs by request. It was a bit of haul getting from the pier to this pousada, but good to get away from the central area. The only problem was weak internet, but I was glad to have a vacation from my email. Overall, this was great value for an excellent place.
