Pousada Pénareia

Santa Catarina


The 13 rooms at this simple but very popular Armação choice have direct access to the beach. Friendly Klaus speaks multiple languages and is an excellent source of island knowledge. There's a tranquil backyard with a shaded hammock nook and a welcoming common area with pool table and fireplace. Visiting Sagui monkeys pop in at breakfast.

The best room has a barbecue terrace, and all come with hammocks.
