The location of this property is spectacular. Just steps to a beautiful little beach and a fantastic view of Pico. The unit is very spacious and the front deck is a great place to hang out with views of the farm fields, Pico mountain and the ocean. Some items in the unit could use some updating such as coffee maker, toaster and pillows. Otherwise it had everything we needed.
The view of Mount Pico was incredible. The cows, chicken, and other animals was great. But, alot of spider web in the house, the house was dirty, no soap for the showers and hands and the laundry.
Could not ask for a better location, the view is amazing, short drive into town, responsive host and have I mentioned the view? We can not say enough wonderful things about the house, location and the beach, all just wonderful!
Do not hesitate when considering this home...excellent!
Generally speaking this home delivered on what we were looking for and exceeded expectations.
LOCATION: Roughly 15-20 min drive from town center and or airport. About 10 min drive from various eateries and popular beach. Highly recommend renting a car if staying here since a taxi ride from town center is roughly $10-$15 euros each way.
The view is SPECTACULAR from every vantage point. You can walk to 2 separate beaches that are lightly visited by locals. 1 of those 2 beaches is literally at the end of the road (about 200 feet away from the house. Beautiful landscaping on the house grounds.
ACCOMMODATIONS: The house is perfect for a group of 6 people (8 if willing to have 2 sleep on couches). We stayed as a group of 4 adults and 2 children. The 2 full baths made getting ready that much easier. The house is perfectly stocked with glassware/plates/pots and we took advantage and cooked full meals during our stay. Adequate linens & towels were provided and a washer machine can be utilized in the garage area (hang dry your items). Plenty of day light comes into the house. Dinning table can accommodates 6 comfortably and another 2 chairs are available off to the side if needed. Wifi worked as advertised with no issues.
There were other guests above us and the host in the studio below us and we never heard either groups. Our floor seemed pretty insulated from any noise from above or below us.
HOST: Gabriel was the perfect mix of being accessible and not hovering. He greeted us upon arrival and provided us a couple of tips. Responded quickly when we emailed him with a couple of questions while there and bid us farewell the day before we checked out. A very gracious host.
TIPS: Bring an iron if you think you may need one and a wall outlet adapter if you need to plug anything that doesn't have a euro plug (we visited from the United States).
If staying on either floor & you are traveling with small children be conscious of them while they are on the balcony.
At night if you are sleeping with the windows/balcony doors open (recommended in the summer months) turn off as many lights as possible so that bugs are not attracted to them and enter the house.
Die Wohnung ist modern eingerichtet und liegt sehr ruhig mit grandiosem Ausblick auf den Pico. Vom Balkon aus konnten wir uns auĂerdem an KĂ€lbchen erfreuen, die wie verspielte kleine Hunde herumtollten. Ein Mietwagen ist ein Muss, ParkplĂ€tze befinden sich direkt vor dem Haus. Insbesondere empfanden wir die Ausstattung mit Waschmaschine sehr praktisch. Vielen Dank an die Hausverwalterin, dass sie auch folgende Kleinigkeiten in ausreichender Menge bereitgestellt hat: Toilettenpapier, Handwaschseife, GeschirrspĂŒltabs und Waschmittel.
Wir verbrachten 5 NĂ€chte in dieser Ferienwohnung und hĂ€tten uns auch noch lĂ€nger sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt.
Diese moderne, helle und gut ausgestattete Wohnung im zweiten Stock mit grosser Terrasse liegt in einer ruhigen, lÀndlichen, aber gut erschlossenen Umgebung.
Unvergesslich die atemberaubende Sicht auf das nahe Meer und den Pico bei einem Glas Wein. Der richtige Ort zum Entspannen. Ein rundum gelungener Aufenthalt. Empfehlenswert!
Dette er simpelthen den mest enestÄende feriebolig!!
Det kĂŠmpestore hus er opdelt i to lĂŠkre lejligheder, og ejerens far, der fungerer som vicevĂŠrt, bor i kĂŠlderetagen.
Lejligheden er stor, og alt er nyt og superlÊkkert. Udsigten fra den store altan er enestÄende. Du har grÊssende kÞer, Atlanterhavet og vulkanen pÄ Pico i samme kig.
Gabriel (ejeren) og hans far er meget venlige og hjÊlpsomme, og alt i alt mÄ dette vÊre tÊt pÄ en perfekt feriebolig.
