We LOVED our stay! Mirtes and her family were wonderful hosts. We felt completely at home and instantly relaxed. We loved the location at the top of the hill - and all of the local recommendations. The rustic vibe was very much our style and it was great to have a kitchen to prepare meals. We also loved the animals - especially Billie-Jean the cat! It was great that Rodrigo could help us with tours (and that he and Lua spoke such great English). Seeing so many turtles and sharks was really special. We travelled around the island by bus (which was super easy - the bus stop is near) and were grateful for the tips of where to get off for maximum beach access. The room was super comfortable. Thank you!!!!

Nada! It was a stunning accommodation. Well-manicured and most truly loved and cared for.

The lush garden, rooftop, landscape and hammocks were incredible. But the room was the most special-they even painted my name outside of it to welcome me there!! The room was my haven and beautiful decorated with plants and paintings by the owners. I was blown away at how much care they took to make it special! Exceptional value in this perfectly located gem. It is above and beyond!

The bedroom is a bit cramped.

A very warm welcome with beautiful decoration in an artist's house. There is a lot to discover! Lots of light and air and love in every corner. The location is great for supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, bus stop and the best bistro almost right next door.

Mirtes is a wonderful host and so is her husband. The place is full of colour. We were early birds and not having breakfast there was not a major issue as we went up to the bakery at the top of the hill they opened at 6:00 a.m. and their food was wonderful. There is a place next door but it doesn't open the 7:30 a.m. There is a good supermarket close by too and plenty of choices for food down at the local restaurants 200 m away

I have absolutely nothing to say that we didn't like in Mirte's accommodation.

We loved how friendly Mirtes and her family were. They are highly helpful and understanding. I would totally recommend to any friend of family to stay under Mirtes' care and accommodation.

It could have an external shower to clean the sand, but this doesn’t affect the experience.

Great stay! Mirtes and Elio were really careful and the place was cozy. We loved to stay there and plan to go back.

Mirte, e excelente. Made us feel at home. Even personalised the door with our names. Good location, easily walking distance to main square, and beach.

One of the most adorable accomodations i've ever stayed at. The owner is super nice and gives the place a special touch. The garden and common area are lovely with lots of decoration and seating possibilities. Bed is very comfortable and the a/c works great. I can highly recommend Casa de Mirtes and hope to be able to come back one day.

A lovely, friendly welcome from the host who instantly made us feel as ease and told us all about the local area and what to do on the island. She was fantastic! The room was excellent and provided everything we needed and more for 6 days on the beautiful island. Would thoroughly recommend! 😊

This place is really special. Don't expect a new place, it isn't. It's a quite old building made very charming. In its genre, it's wonderful. I especially enjoyed the calm and the tranquility. The cleanliness and the warm atmosphere, combined with a well working airco.

The pousada is comfy, cosy, very well located and with familiar vibes. Mirtes is the best host I’ve ever met, she did everything to make our stay perfect and unique. Rooms are clean and comfortable. This was really the perfect stay!

Mirtes is an excellent host. She gave us everything we needed, as well as excellent advice on how to cut the cost of the trip. Furthermore, she shares her home with love and care. We loved staying in her peaceful place.

Mirta was an absolutely amazing host. We had a wonderful stay and felt just at home. She has created a beautiful place to stay on the island.

Was not the cleanest accommodation (e.g. kitchen and room; although bathroom was cleaned well).

Very nice hosts, super welcoming garden area and cozy rooms. Rooms had everything that you would expect but are still basic.

Stayed in August 2025

The room had to be closed up (to keep mosquitos out & air con cooling in) which made it a rather dark little space. But a minor point.

An green and welcoming oasis in walking distance to the best of everything around 'downtown' FdN. Mirtes is an ever-smiling hostess (who even did some clothes washing for me) and pays particular attention to cleanliness - the shared kitchen and living spaces were always spotless. This is a home in a lovely garden of trees & hammocks. It is not fancy or a 'professional' bnb - it's a showcase of hard work by a local family to turn what they have into a warm and authentic accommodation experience. V glad I stayed there.
