Situated in front of the beach and its palm trees, this charming pousada is renowned for its calm yet lively environment and its cheerful female staff.

After the festivities and the music, all that's left to do is fall asleep with the sound of the waves to lull you to sleep.

Kasa d'Vizin means "neighbor's house" in Creole. Located in the hamlet of Eito (an area of farmland), overlooking the mountains and verdant valley, this renovated village house has 4 levels.

Even today, the land around the building is still used for agriculture: sugar cane, mango, breadfruit and manioc are at the very heart of daily life.
