Refúgio das Camélias

From the balcony you get a gorgeous view across the valley. Mornings are quiet and relaxing, with distant church bells and roosters as the wake-up call.

We had such a good stay here. The bed was super comfortable, and the views were gorgeous. It’s very quiet, with wildlife as the only sound around. There are some great cafes and restaurants about a 10-minute drive away, and the host is a brilliant woman. Highly recommend.

The balcony view was a standout for me, with both mountains and ocean in sight. Our room was clean and spacious, with a big, very comfortable bed and a kitchenette stocked with different appliances. The communal spaces were well cared for too. We had a really peaceful holiday, and the owners were friendly and ready to help with whatever we needed. I’d definitely recommend it.

I wanted somewhere calm where I could slow down between stops on my travels, and this was just right. They welcomed me on arrival, left fruit, bread, coffee, tea and drinks, and shared recommendations. They even came out to say goodbye at 5 in the morning. My room was large, with a big bed, plenty of pillows, a little veranda for watching the sun come up, a spacious bathroom with a tub and shower, and a small kitchenette. Great hosts, location and value. Highly recommend.
