Juao was a lifesaver. We had a problem with returning the rental car and he graciously agreed to make a call for us that resolved everything. He went above and beyond to help us with finding a dinner spot and to show us how to get to the airport (just a few minutes away).
One of my favorite parts was climbing into a bed with fresh linens that had been dried in the sun and lovingly ironed smooth. I presume this was you, Lucia. Thank you.
And the whole space was a joy because of all the artful work of Juao. His handcrafted furniture is inventive and lovely. The way he kitted out the kitchen was nothing short of genius.
He is a very kind soul. He spent a good part of the evening helping his French friend to learn her Portuguese.
I only regret we could not stay longer.
