Inoubliable
-L’accueil de la pétillante et bienveillante Gizela. C’est vraiment une femme incroyable. Je ne l’oublierai jamais. À cause d’elle, j’ai pleuré en quittant Sao Jorge. Elle m’a fait vraiment aimer cette île.

Vista spettacolare del Pico. Ampi e comodi spazi .
Tranquillità, si sentono i cagarri parlare nel buio completo.

Questions about Aldeia da Encosta

What time is check-in and check-out at Aldeia da Encosta?

Check-in is from 2:30 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Aldeia da Encosta allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Aldeia da Encosta?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Aldeia da Encosta have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Aldeia da Encosta have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Aldeia da Encosta?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
