The host will charge the following amounts, depending on the date of written cancellation by the tenant:

cancellation more than 3 months before the start of the rental period: free of charge
cancellation between the 90th and the 60th day before the start of the rental period: 25% of the rental price
cancellation between the 59th and 30th day before the start of the rental period: 50% of the rental price

Café Caçana Caçana is one of those local cafes that seems to fit an entire village. If a tavern is the equivalent of a simple, laid-back, affordable restaurant with food reminiscent of our mother's, then Caçana is the true example: familiar, cheap and full of unique snacks. Here there are other variables to take into account, such as the mountainous landscape that surrounds it, and a terrace with a privileged view of the mountain.

Also known as Mariana Beach after the restaurant here, Arda or Bico Beach is one of the best in the country for surfing and bodyboarding and thus brings in a younger crowd.
