Um local tranquilo, sossegado e reservado — perfeito para relaxar. Localização ideal para explorar essa parte da ilha, de Furnas a Nordeste. Anfitriões muito acolhedores e prestativos. Damos nota 12/10 pela limpeza exemplar! Não se esqueça de fazer compras antes de chegar; não é uma vila turística, e o mercado mais próximo fica em Povoação. Várias trilhas nas proximidades. Uma mudança de ares completa!
