👍 Positive feedback from guests
- Exceptional Hospitality & Warm Hosts: Guests consistently praise Ricardo, Carolina, and their family for their kindness, attentiveness, and warm, home-like atmosphere. Many say they felt like part of the family.
- Outstanding Breakfast Experience: The homemade breakfast is repeatedly described as one of the best guests have had—featuring fresh juices, local ingredients, vegan/gluten-free options, and a generous variety.
- Free Transfers & Extra Services: Complimentary pickups and drop-offs from the ferry or airport, luggage storage after checkout, and even access to showers before departure are frequently highlighted as thoughtful touches.
- Comfortable, Clean, and Tastefully Decorated Rooms: Reviewers mention the rooms are spotless, cozy, and well-furnished, with attention to detail in design and comfort.
- Great Location for Exploring Porto Santo: The guesthouse is close to the center and beach (around a 10–15 minute walk), with optional quad/ATV rentals offered onsite for easy island exploration.
👎 Negative feedback from guests
- Lack of Privacy / Feeling Like a Guest in Someone’s Home: Some guests felt it was more like staying in a family home than a professional guesthouse, which wasn’t clearly communicated in the listing and impacted their comfort.
- Noise from Children and Shared Spaces: A few reviewers mentioned that the hosts' children were noisy during the day, especially when guests were trying to rest, as the rooms are close to family living areas.
- Steep Walk to the Property: The guesthouse is located on a steep hill, which made access difficult for some guests, especially those with mobility issues or after a tiring day.
- Limited In-Room Amenities: Guests pointed out the absence of basic room features like trash bins, mirrors, hooks for towels, or shelves in the bathroom—particularly inconvenient in rooms with shared bathrooms.
- No Access to Kitchen / Unexpected Extra Charges: Some reviews mentioned they couldn’t use the kitchen or even store food, and were surprised by additional charges (e.g. for coffee/tea), which weren’t clearly communicated upfront.
