First of all, this was a great place to stay if you are visiting Boavista. In fact, given the alternatives, this is probably the best place to stay in Boavista. Not only is it a beautiful guesthouse, the room was great (if you dont mind some background noise during the day, some rooms are above the kitchen and the bar, but they close around 10 pm, and this is not a crowded place anyway -and who wants to be in the room during the day anyway?). So, all in all great place. But the manager, who sure did a good job at making sure things worked, was not very helpful when in giving suggestions and just chit-chating a bit with the guests to be honest. I am afraid I disagree with what was said here before - or maybe he was just having a bad week. Besides this, I do suggest everyone to rent a quad and ask for advice on routes, and just go explore it yourself. You can go around the island, but can get to some pretty amazing beaches without any problems. there were lots of restaurants serving lovely seafood, some local, some italian. And if you want to hang out at one of the beach bars at Estoril Beach - Bahia was the best one, 5 euros for a shade (including chairs) all day - at one of the others it was 8 euro per chair... and the food was really good, and the staff was nice. good travels.
