Pousada dos Navegantes

We arrived at night, off season with drizzle and cloud and almost no visibility and therefore what a wonderful surprise to wake up the next morning to bright sunshine and to find ourselves in such a lovely spot! The pousada overlooks a lovely little bay with boats moored close by. There is a short, easy path down to the beach. The room is a good size, bed comfortable and bathroom clean and modern and with toiletries. A fridge was stocked with water and beer. We went for a walk down the beach to watch the fishermen return with their catch in the morning and then continued up a little trail through trees and around a small headland (only a short distance) and discovered a tiny swimming beach. At this time of year the only building by the beach (a beachfront bar) was shut but I can imagine that it would be a nice place to spend some time! This pousada is a great place to stay if you have your own car as it's about 10km out of town. Breakfast was in a pleasant room and a long dining table meant that it was easy to talk to other guests.
