charmed stay!

quick walkamazing viewsgreat spotbad soundproofing
i liked that i could reach the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail. it was a quick ten-minute walk eastward. the views are amazing. a ten-minute walk west led to "earth shop and cafe," a great spot for meals. having a car made trips to praia nova easy, where we saw the beach and chapel.
the apartments weren't soundproof at all. i heard everything from the neighbors. doors closing and steps were constant sounds.
