I have never stayed anywhere like this before. O Sitio is a comfortable escape in paradise. The staff is extremely welcoming and accommodating, full of wisdom and advice for exploring Ilha Grande. The rooms and common areas are well maintained and comfortable, and the location and garden is breathtaking. The food was so good, we didn't venture into Vila do Abraao at all for any meals, preferring to enjoy the homecooked food. I would go back in a heartbeat if I could

We had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful location for a week in January. This is simply heaven on earth and just the most peaceful and gorgeous location we have ever visited.

Michel and his wife have created a truly magical spot. We woke up every morning and went paddle boarding on the empty beach before before sitting and having breakfast in the most gorgeous surroundings.

The one thing that makes this place even more special is the staff. They are all excellent (Amanda, Marianne and ??) were all so nice, giving us advice, helping with plans and serving the most amazing drinks. All the guys who help with bags and keep the place clean etc are just lovely people.

The breakfast is amazing and we loved sitting drinking caipirinhas on our terrace. There is also amazing Wi Fi throughout the hotel.

We did the walk once into town and it took 30 minutes, other times we just got the boat there and back.

We ate most times at Bonito just up the beach, so didn’t really venture far from the hotel as there wasn’t a need. Just stay on the beach and at the hotel at night and enjoy the tranquility when any day trippers have left.

Make sure you get a chance to speak with Michel, he is such a lovely human being and also visit the clearing they have created facing the big tree everyday.

This was just a special place for us and we hope to come back one day.
