Jardim dos Aloés - Unique B&B

10/10 Excellent
"A former IMF type executive, Italian national Bruno, owns and manages the property with flair, sprezzatura and Northern European efficiency; Manuel, his front of house manager of 3 other staffers, is a dab hand with breakfast, preparing the most tasty scrambled eggs in my life since 1980; while taken into care by Bruno, dog Bella, lends a canine affection; while Bruno’s curios placed in my room, (including Portuguese cannon balls) provides much charm and personality, complementing any interest you may have in visiting a most wonderful Island of bucolic charm and faded past grandeur, I loved my week long stay in the Jardin.
