Die Farinha de Pau ist nicht mit anderen Unterkünften vergleichbar. Es ist ein Eco-Project, und genau das wurde vor Ort umgesetzt. Für die Häuser und die Einrichtungen wurden bereits vorhandene Materialien genutzt, z.B. Paletten als Untergestell der Betten mit guten Matratzen oder die Nutzung des örtlichen Lehms für die Wände. Die Unterkunft ist einfach, und angenehm sauber. Die herzliche Gästebetreuung durch Sergio und Simone und die Verpflegung zu Frühstück und Abendessen durch Simones Kochkünste sind erstklassig. Stefan und Stefan sagen "obrigádu"!

Dépaysement à Praia Branca

Hébergement très rustique et original mais néanmoins confortable et agréable. Simone est une hôtesse très chaleureuse. Petits déjeuners copieux, plat unique le soir. Praia Branca est un site superbe qui permet de magnifiques randonnées.
