This was a magical experience. The views from our room were outrageously stunning. Our particular room looked directly onto Monserrate Palace which when lit at night is so unique. The room also has a spectacular view of the ocean and watching the beautiful sunsets was just fantastic. Enough about the room! The staff and hosts are the best! Courteous, generous, and available within minutes. Whether a request or question, they were incredibly responsive. Breakfast was such a fun experience eating traditional Portuguese pastries while chatting with other guests was great and made the stay even more charming, as if being taken back to another era when people enjoyed meeting others with similar interests…in particular a love of travel and conversation. We are particularly impressed and appreciative with Aline and her attentiveness while at the same time feeling our privacy was well respected. A huge thank you for your graciousness and all of your help!
