My wife and I came to Helmut's place in February and even with the rare burst of cold rainy weather still had a wonderful time. The place itself is beautiful and comes with an unbeatable view. You'd think you'd to have to fly 13 hours and brush up on your Portuguese for this kind of experience, so getting it after a mere hourlong ferry ride from San Pedro is quite the treat. Helmut was very easy to get in touch with and answered all our questions right away. I highly recommend it!
