Pensao Jardim

The popular Pensao Jardim has been our first choice of accommodation in Ribeira Brava for many years now.

The family establishment is just a few minutes’ walk from the town’s main square and is run by Dona Va, her husband and daughter who speak French fluently and a little English and Dutch. They are very welcoming and efficient and bring some old-world character and quirkiness to their pensão. Those with limited mobility may find Jardim difficult to access, as it is uphill, with an entrance up a steep, narrow alleyway.

The pensão has a total of ten rooms, each of which has a private bathroom with hot water. They are comfortable and simply furnished, air-conditioned and equipped with television. Some rooms have interconnecting doors, making them suitable for families. For guests who prefer the option of self-catering, there are two mini-apartments with kitchenettes.

Breakfast is served in the enclosed top-floor restaurant, where pre-ordered lunch or dinner can also be taken. There is a shady, communal terrace where guests can relax and read or enjoy views down to the sprawl of Ribeira Brava. All of Ribeira Brava’s restaurants are within an easy stroll of Jardim.
