The property masterfully combines antiques and family heirlooms with contemporary design from a pineapple greenhouse with its own heated plunge pool, a green interior design at one with nature, and a gastronomic delight in the hands of chef João Alves who creates Senhora da Rosa’s gourmet dining experience.
The hotel’s green credentials can be seen through many of the design decisions at the estate, with 60 percent of power usage coming from 220 photovoltaic panels and 20 solar panels spread around the grounds. There are also three composting areas, heat pumps and rainwater tanks for watering the verdant grounds and spa treatments consist of essential oils made from seasonal ingredients found on the farm or island.
Guests staying here can take pleasure in relaxing by the outdoor pool, luxuriating in the Spa, chasing a ball on the paddle court or taking a pilates or yoga class.
