点评:Solar Branco is one of those places that’s just special. Ali and Caroline have created something truly unique. They and their whole team do everything right, and you can just feel it. My husband and I spent 5 amazing days there in March and already planned a trip for his parents to visit this fall - that’s how good it is. Top 5 places we’ve ever stayed, for sure.
I still dream about the breakfast spread - I wish I could have the farm fresh eggs, bolo levedo bread, pepper sauce and fresh cheese every day. Not to mention the delicious pastries and the fruit grown right in the garden! And we were already gin lovers, but Ali, his passion and his extraordinary collection has taken that to the next level. Don’t miss his masterclass and the nightly gin o’clock (with cocktails expertly prepared by Ricardo!). And Chef Joanna’s sushi dinner was exceptional - the freshest imaginable fish, paired with a special reserve collection of Japanese gins.
We stayed in the Ruin, which was lovely, spacious and private. I could’ve spent the whole stay just gazing at the spectacular view. The bed was extremely comfortable and we loved the outdoor shower. If I had to nitpick - and this is truly doing just that - we would’ve loved a rug on the upper level to make the space feel a bit warmer, and some seating on the significantly less windy lower deck.
We really appreciated the excellent communication before and during our trip and assistance making reservations. The guide the team has put together is comprehensive and extremely helpful - make sure to take advantage of it!
We rarely travel to the same place twice, but I truly hope we can return to Solar Branco before too long. Sao Miguel is an incredible island, and this was the perfect place to base ourselves for what was one of our favorite trips of all time. Thank you to Ali, Caroline, Ricardo, Joanna and the whole team for an amazing trip!
翻译:Solar Branco 就是那种特别的地方。Ali 和 Caroline 创造了真正独一无二的体验。他们和整个团队把每件事都做得恰到好处,你都能感受到。我和丈夫三月份在那里度过了美好的五天,并且已经计划好了今年秋天带他父母来这里——这里真是太棒了。这绝对是我们住过的五大顶级酒店之一。
我仍然梦想着那里丰盛的早餐——我希望每天都能吃到农场新鲜的鸡蛋、波洛莱维多面包、辣椒酱和新鲜奶酪。更不用说美味的糕点和花园里种植的水果了!我们本来就是杜松子酒爱好者,但 Ali 的热情和他非凡的收藏将我们的热爱提升到了一个新的高度。千万不要错过他的大师班和每晚的杜松子酒时光(鸡尾酒由 Ricardo 精心调制!)。主厨 Joanna 的寿司晚餐也非常棒——用最新鲜的鱼肉搭配特制的日本杜松子酒。
我们住在“废墟号”(Ruin)甲板上,它漂亮、宽敞、私密。我真想整晚都沉浸在这壮丽的景色中。床超级舒服,我们也很喜欢这里的户外淋浴。如果非要挑剔的话——这间甲板确实也确实如此——我们希望能在上层铺一块地毯,让空间感觉更温暖一些,并在风小得多的下层甲板上安排一些座位。
我们非常感谢旅行前和旅行期间的良好沟通,以及预订方面的帮助。团队编写的指南内容全面,非常实用——一定要好好利用!
我们很少两次去同一个地方,但我真心希望我们能尽快再次回到圣米格尔岛。圣米格尔岛是一个神奇的岛屿,这里是我们最喜欢的旅行之一的完美落脚点。感谢Ali、Caroline、Ricardo、Joanna以及整个团队,让我们拥有了一次精彩的旅程!
