- "Excellent, brand-new, boutique hotel with friendly, multi-lingual hosts. Lovely breakfast and amazing views." - "Michel was a great host. The villa is amazing, and the view from it is stunning, The breakfast was excellent!" - "I would like to thank the owners for making our visit very memorable. We were on the tail end of a long trip and wanted a quiet place near the coast we could relax before heading back to the states. The view from the hotel is beautiful, especially at breakfast or evening. Our room was spacious, bed was perfect and we could walk out onto a vast patio. We got the grand tour from the owner and quite the history lesson in his liquor cellar. The breakfast was delicious and specially made just for us. The owner and his family made us feel very welcome. He gave us excellent recommendations not only around Foz but the entire area."
