Our stay
Vegetarian was over grown and we did not have the ocean view like it was in the picture. We ended up popping a tire coming into property due to the road to get to property. The bathroom had a odor. All videos were in German, and would stop playing halfway through. Then DVD player stopped working. The fire pit which was to be the bbq, but there was nothing to grill on and was full with branches. No satellite and there were no trash bins outside to take out trash. The solar water heater didn’t work. Property was hard to find, we had a local help find and they couldn’t, had to call the caretaker to guide us in.

Kakkerlakken, waren er ziek van!
Het is huis is mooi en heel ruim maar mag beter onderhouden worden, hondenpoep bij het terras in de tuin. En tijdens ons verblijf maar liefst 7 kakkerlakken in het huis. Ik denk dat wanneer er rondom het huis beter opgeruimd wordt dit echt niet nodig is. Eigenlijk zonde van zo’n mooie lokatie. Bedden sliepen wel prima

Magic house, Tino is the best
We had a magic stay in this house. Everything inside is wooden made by the owner, Tino, who will help you finf everything you need (car, trails, markets and so on). The kitchen is stunning, the garden perfect for some yoga lessons. We feel at home. Thank you Tino,

Maison de campagne rustique dans son jus
Maison difficile à trouver et difficile d'accès en voiture. Hôte réservé et discret...voire un peu sauvage. Propreté basique, très belle et grande pièce de vie mais électroménager vieillissant (lave vaisselle et machine à laver hors d'usage). Environnement très calme et beau jardin, dommage qu'il manque un petit peu de mobilier pour le rendre agréable. Attention la chambre du bas est très humide.

Leider feucht und schmutzig
Die Unterkunft war leider stark verschmutzt. Es wirkte so, als ob weder das Bad, noch die restliche Unterkunft geputzt wurden. Die Küche war grundsätzlich sehr schön und geräumig, jedoch zeigte der Kühlschrank Spuren der Vorgänger. Das Hauptproblem lag jedoch in dem unteren Geschoss. Dieses konnte nur über eine Fallleiter bzw. von außen betreten werden und man musste zwingend in dieses um das einzige Bad zu erreichen. Die Fallleiter hatte kein Geländer und barg damit nicht nur in der Nacht ein durchaus hohes Verletzungsrisiko. Der untere Schlafraum war faktisch unbewohnbar. Dieser war sehr feucht und roch verschimmelt. Die Bettwäsche in diesem Zimmer war nicht nur feucht, sondern auch verschmutzt. Insgesamt befand sich die Unterkunft für vier Personen daher in einem nicht zumutbaren Zustand, auch wenn der Preis zunächst sehr fair erschien. Leider kann ich daher aus oben genannten Gründen nur einen Stern vergeben, auch wenn das Haus ein großes Potenzial bietet.

Abenteuerurlaub auf Faial gesucht?
Vorweg, wir waren zusammen mit Freunden zu Besuch und kennen aus vergangenen Reisen die Einfachheit der Azoren. Die Vorfreude ist schnell der Realität gewichen. In den zwei Corona Jahren hat das FH offensichtlich erheblich gelitten, der Kellerbereich ( Bad & 2. Schlafzimmer) wurden ungenügend gelüftet. Das untere Zimmer ist somit zum Schlafen glatt ungeeignet. Also wer nur zu Zweit kommt, kann sich nach erfolgreicher Anfahrt durch die ausgetrocknete Bachquerung und einer Grundreinigung auf einen ruhigen Urlaub freuen. In der näheren Umgebung sind kleine Geschäfte für den täglichen Bedarf + Bäcker. Auch die Lage hat uns gut gefallen. Um dem Meer näher zu kommen ( Steilküste), muss man ca. 15 Min. laufen. -> Mit gewissen Einschränkungen für 2 Personen zu empfehlen. Fahrzeug mit Unterbodenversicherung ratsam.

Schönes großes Haus mit traumhaftem Garten und Meerblick
Das originelle Haus ist sehr großzügig gestaltet (vor allem das riesige Bad) und hat einen großen und wunderschönen Garten mit Meerblick. Es liegt sehr ruhig und man kann sich herrlich erholen. Der Vermieter (wohnt nebenan) ist nett und hilfsbereit. Man hört die Vögel zwitschern, hin und wieder eine Kuh muhen und die Kirchenglocke bimmeln. Man wohnt fast am Land und trotzdem sind die Geschäfte und Restaurants in der Nähe. Einige Wanderwege sind auch gleich vor der Haustür.
