This 100-year-old home is just a kilometre away from Majorda beach. Here, rooms are spread across two houses on the property—a Portuguese mansion built in 1929, and an older house made with earth walls. There’s a garden, a swimming pool and an independent double room with two verandahs. The staff can help arrange local cycling tours, picnics and parties as well as massages.
