    The outdoor areas were nice, full of gorgeous plants and nice views. The breakfast area also looks quite charming. There were some town festivities going on, so it was actually nice that the place was located a little off center (15-20min walk) because it was much more quiet at night.

    Everything was perfect, Bruno is a great host! The apartment had all the amenities and everything was super clean. I did workout with the equipment Vila Concetta has for their guests. Views and location are beautiful and Bruno is a superb host, I highly recommend this place! Wish I can go back!

    Great location for us, but some may prefer closer to town. Lovely dining area with views over the sea and steps down to the little stony bay.

    Bruno is a great host. The room was very nice, comfortable and clean. The premises are very pleasant just in front of a small and beautiful beach. The breakfast was really good. Walking distance from Cidade Velha. Loved the hammock.
