Frommer's Review

Owner Filipe Gouveia extends a hearty welcome and is delighted when guests enjoy his elegant regional decor of azulejos (tiles) and hand-painted murals. His lively bar evokes a thatched-roof house in the village of Santana. Fresh fish and shellfish dominate the menu, but the best dish is cataplana de marisco (savory shellfish stew). The tuna steak is grilled to perfection, and you can also enjoy tender, perfectly seasoned peppercorn steak or chateaubriand.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
