The style of the 19 room and apartments is reminiscent of the heydays of the explorers and pays tribute to the colonial spirit with Portuguese, Brazilian and English flourishes. It is in this décor that you will enjoy different experiences: a rustic picnic, lunch under the arbours, a siesta in the shade of an olive tree, a boat excursion… not to mention, of course, the delicious gourmet moments in the chocolate factory or Port tasting in the old cellars.
