Our Home
At Casa Acayu, Portuguese owners Alírio and José Carlos have transformed decades of experience in hospitality and design into the art of warm welcoming. They created a retreat where every detail reflects care, beauty, and affection. Tropical flowers, modern comfort, flavors that unite Portugal and Brazil, and an enchanted garden beneath an African acacia tree compose the atmosphere. Here, everything invites the senses—to touch, to see, to taste, and to rest. A place where time slows down and every moment gains meaning.
