One of the most incredible experiences of my life. The Patio staff really take special care of you…read more We were a group of 9 experienced riders and we road the whole island over six days. However you can stay at this lodge with or without riding, and I would highly recommend it. The staff are so helpful and accommodating and the food is incredible. They have Lucitano horses and a few dogs (Lucky and Brownie). The views are breathtaking. Katie was our trail guide and I am so grateful that they hired her because she is perfect for this job, she is happy and kind and kept everyone safe. She helps you enjoy every bit of your trail ride with great energy. Very thankful to the whole staff for this once in a lifetime experience. I pray maybe I will be able to make it back one day.

When you check in, you're awed by the spectacular display of the Atlantic on the front and the dense forest in the back of the property. I stayed in one of the units in the back of the property. The place is modernized and clean. The most impressive thing for me was the owner's hospitality. They were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and convenient. The owner's son, Gonçalo, recommended a wonderful restaurant and a few places to check out nearby. He also taxied me to places at a reasonable cost. While I was there, his willing girlfriend was helping at the place...incredibly sweet and helpful as well. The owner, Isabel, prepares and offers a buffet-style breakfast to guests for 7 euros, which was great. I absolutely love this place and would definitely come back! I HIGHLY recommend it!!

We stayed in several different rooms all were the same. Every faucet leaks, showerhead is a joke that won't stay up, toilets are loose, toilet seat is loose. No window screens on second floor. Rooms smell old moldy and musty. Beds are a disaster. Springs poking into back. Lumpy crooked mattress. Roosters crowing starting at 4:00 am and go all day until 8:00pm. Ok, that's not the fault of management, but it's a serious factor if you contemplate staying here.
