The Island

At a glance

The nearest beach (Praia do Forte da Bandeira) is about 9 minutes on foot on a mostly level walk.

You have a bus stop about 4 minutes away and a supermarket about 1 minute away, so it works without a car.

There are 13 bars or clubs within 150 m, so expect some evening noise; light sleepers may want a room at the back.
