Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small property with limited rooms — With only seven rooms, the pousada offers intimacy but less variety in room types and limited availability.
- No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
- Paid airport shuttle — Airport transfers are available but come at an extra cost, so budget for this if you're arriving by air.
- Check-in window starts at 14:00 — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 23:59, so early arrivals may need to wait to access their room.
