Fodor's Expert Review Pocinho Bay
9950-154, Portugal Fodor's Choice
Owners Jose and Louisa, former sociologists from Lisbon, have transformed their summer vacation property into a truly unique place to stay, with a collection of six elegant volcanic rock cottages and two sophisticated two-bedroom villas, all decorated with artifacts collected during their extensive travels around the world. Just outside are a vineyard, walking trails, and a swimming pool. Every room is different, though all are a mix of the traditional (beamed ceilings and stone walls) and the modern (carefully selected furnishings from South America, Southeast Asia, and elsewhere). All guests get a lovely breakfast with homemade products, and there’s an honesty bar with drinks available. The owners also produce a limited amount of their own Pocinho Bay white wine.
PROS
- beautiful grounds just outside your door
- natural rock pool sits nearby
- personalized service
CONS
- somewhat isolated location
- no restaurant or bar
- no fitness center or spa
