What to expect

Cato combines a guesthouse with a ground-floor restaurant at Horta do Rio in Carrapateira. The restaurant serves meals on a patio shaded with reeds, with produce from the property’s garden and seafood among the kitchen’s ingredients.

The dining offer is separate from the accommodation breakfast, so make a restaurant enquiry when you want lunch or dinner. The property publishes seasonal reopening information: establish availability for your dates rather than assuming the guesthouse and restaurant operate on the same schedule.

Planning your visit

  • Specify a restaurant visit when contacting the property.
  • Restaurant and guesthouse seasons have separate reopening arrangements.
