The elevated balcony is superb for breakfast and has a very special view over the lagoon, sea and garden of Ceu Azul. The colourful garden attracts an amazing amount of local birdlife – previous guests have recorded up to 250 different species during a week’s stay. You may even be lucky enough to see the ‘resident’ cameleon who lives in the garden. There is a patio area, with sun loungers, table and chairs, parasol and the all important barbecue. A great area for soaking up the sun and enjoying barbecues or after dinner drinks and conversations, when you stroll back from the local restaurant. Pick fresh lemons off the tree, fabulous in gin and tonic or squeezed over your favourite fish suppers.
