Paula and her family are most hospitable, friendly, warm, and helpful. Although Paula does not speak English, her husband has some, so we were able to get by OK. The premises are very comfortable, with good facilities, and although it is about 2Km from the town centre, we found it to be an excellent base. There are a few very good restaurants, and at least one good supermarket very close to Jasmim Doce. The local restaurants are more geared to the local Portuguese than the tourists....a BIG plus for us, as the local cuisine is excellent, and great value.
