Pousada Lestada by Latitud Hoteles

Extremely helpful and friendly staff both at the reception and in other facilities - easy to communicate even despite my lack of knowledge of the Portuguese - as they are willing to communicate via google translate with ease :) Very nice breakfast and great view onto the hills and ocean in the distance. Literally 5 min walk to the port with all its bars and points of departure for diving etc. Good isolation between the rooms. I had booked room in two separate bookings for 2 + 1 day and despite technical issues around it the staff was so kind to go out of their way to avoid me having to check out after a night to check in again into other room, and instead managed to change things so that I stayed in the same room. Pousada is also well located when it comes to getting to the centre and bus station - just next to it there is a bus stop from where one can catch minibuses and buses.

Walk a couple of blocks and you're on Praia dos Ossos where you can walk along Orla Bardot and take your pick among many amazing restaurants. Walking distance to Rua das Pedras, too! The Pousada was PERFECT! 💯💯💯

Bed is huge and comfortable, room is big. Stuff is very friendly and professional. Good breakfast with beautiful view.

Nothing to complain - the stuff ist really nice and helpful. Drinks a tasty.
