Great for groups
Although there were just 3 of us, we liked our own bedrooms. Well equipped kitchen with lots of dishes. Would be great for a much larger group, too. The picture we saw on line was for the smaller house. We were in the larger house next to it. Just a few minutes up the hl from Sao Vicente. Winding road. Lovely stay.

Fabulous location
Location was central enough that we did day trips to see the entire island. Loved our little community.
