Dear Patrick, thank you for your great feedback! We’re glad to hear that the accommodation met your expectations. We would love to host you again in the future.
The house was amazing and very spacious. It’s location is near the center of the island which makes it easy to drive to one side or the other. We love the Azores!

House was beautiful. Sara greeted us with breakfast items and after arriving very early it was much appreciated. Simply a wonderful property with hosts who communicated clearly and quickly and kindly.

Dear Jack, thank you for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that you found the house clean and beautiful. We would love to host you again in the future.
There were 11 of us but we were never in each other’s way. This country house is quiet with lovely views of the ocean and mountains. Very beautiful and serene.

Dear Zelia, thank you for your kind words. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the quietness of our house and the beautiful views of the ocean and mountains. We would love to host you again in the future!
I went with 7 people. 3 Middle ages adults, 2 elderly adults and 2 children under 11. This was a perfect property for everyone.
More than enough room for everyone to spread out when needed but also great areas for everyone to get together and enjoy some wonderful times.
What a super place. I hope we can stay here again one day.

Hello, Eric! Thank you so much for your positive feedback! We are delighted that you enjoyed our stay at our house. We would be more than happy to welcome you again in the future.
Don’t rent this house! My list of complaints are numerous. When we walked in the fireplace had plastic taped over it, not sure why, but the wind coming down the chimney made a terrible noise. The beautiful waterfall wall did not work. The dishwasher did not work, so many of the dishes in the cabinets were dirty. All of the kitchen items were old and damaged, for example there was only 1 wine glass and a small fry pan was so dented it as not useable. A strap was broken on the outdoor loveseat making it unusable. The sheets and towels looked and felt like they were 25 years old. The master bathroom and one bedroom had black mold growing on the ceiling. After one night we knew we couldn’t stay there and would need to find other accommodations. The management company would not refund our money saying that we didn’t give them a chance to correct these problems. My question is why didn’t these issues get corrected before we arrived for our eight day vacation?

We’re sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations and appreciate your feedback. While we regret that you decided to leave after just one night, we would like to address your concerns.
Many of the issues you mentioned, such as the plastic on the fireplace, the waterfall, and the outdoor loveseat, could have been resolved quickly if we had been given the chance. We know that we should have corrected it before you arrived and we sincerely apologised about that, but unfortunately you did not gave us a chance to correct our mistake. For example, the fireplace issue was a misunderstanding from our team, and the plastic could have been removed within minutes. The waterfall was affected by unusually dry weather in August, limiting its water flow, but it was otherwise functional.
Regarding the dishwasher and dishes, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Our team has since inspected and cleaned all the dishes to ensure this does not happen again. The outdoor loveseat has also been repaired, and the issue with the linens has been noted for improvement, though we assure you they were clean and hygienic.
We understand your concerns about the humidity and mold in the rooms. This has been addressed, but living on an island with high humidity can sometimes lead to these issues despite regular cleaning. So it's not a cleaning problem, since we cleaned the house and we assure you it was not like this after the cleaning, but it's a consequence of the island's climate.
We wish you had allowed us the opportunity to address these matters during your stay, as they could have been resolved quickly. Unfortunately, as we were not given the chance to assist or even check the problems while you were still at the house to evaluate the issues, we could not provide a refund.
Thank you for your feedback, and we hope for an opportunity to provide a better experience in the future.
Dear Stephanie, thank you for your kind words! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our house. We would love to welcome you again in the future.
