Why we chose it

A Portuguese-era house behind a laterite wall, restored with almost nothing added. The floors, the shutters and the courtyard are the ones it was built with.

Four bedrooms sit around the courtyard, so nobody walks through anybody else's room. The verandah runs the length of the house and takes the afternoon — that is where everyone ends up, and where dinner happens if the evening is warm enough.

The cook has been here longer than the owners. Ask her what she'd make rather than handing her a menu, and eat that. Two nights is enough. Four is better.
