Why so darn good? "The owners, Carlos and Sueli, are lovely hosts. The ambiance is quite welcoming and the rooms are very comfortable compared to island standards. The location is quite good, with easy access to Praia do Farol and in a quiet corner, close to a small village with some restaurants. The lighthouse is just meters away. And the best, it is not expensive at all!!!"

Location: "The pousada is located near Praia do Farol on Ilha do Mel. Trees and a field lie between the guesthouse and beach. The pier of Brasilia is just a twenty minute walk. "

Rooms: "All four rooms are charmingly decorated in different colours. Each has a mini-bar, television, private bathroom, and a double and single bed."

Food: "Breakfast is great, and includes fresh made bread, different jellies, cheese, ham, salami, fresh juice, and cake."

Vibe: "The pousada is a place to have a good time and relax on the hammocks or sit on the porch. There is wi-fi internet, so that some guests can work or keep in touch in this friendly environment."

Keep In Mind: "Sueli loves cats, so if you mind cats, this is may not be the right place for you."
