Gerne wieder!!

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Urlaub in der Quinta Velha! Insbesondere dank der Tipps von Marion konnten wir auf unseren mitgebrachten Reiseführer getrost verzichten.Auf Grund unserer späten Anreise nahmen wir das Angebot eines ersten Einkaufs danbar an. Die Ausstattung war mehr als ausreichend und die Ferienwohnung war sehr sauber. Die Lage war ideal für Ausflüge in alle Richtungen der Insel. Wir waren bestimmt nicht zum letzten mal dort!

Gastgeber mit Herz und Seele

Die Kontaktaufnahme war vorbildlich. Aufkommende Fragen wurden schnell und umfassend beantwortet, dazu gab es noch einige hilfreiche Tipps hinsichtlich Ausrüstung und möglicher Aktivitäten. Das Haus ist in einem sehr gepflegtem Zustand. Wir hatten das Apartment "Casa Vista do Mar". Es bietet viel Platz, hat hohe holzvertäfelte Decken, so dass man auch bei schlechtem Wetter gern im Haus bleibt. Zudem gibt es zwei Terrassen, mit tollem Blick über die Bucht und auf das Meer. Die Vermieter sind vorbildliche Gastgeber, immer ansprechbar und um das Wohl ihrer Gäste bemüht. Sie kennen die Insel sehr gut und hatten mehr Tipps für Aktivitäten, als wir Zeit hatten. Ganz besonders wichtig war für uns der Hinweis, an wen wir uns an einem Sonntag Abend in einem medizinischen Notfall wenden können. Nicht unerwähnt lassen möchte ich auch, dass sie während eines kurzen aber heftigen Unwetters, mit Blitzeinschlag in der näheren Umgebung, mitten in der Nacht bereits Schäden beseitigt haben, so dass am nächsten Tag wieder alles funktionierte. Wir empfehlen die Gastgeber und das Objekt auch unseren Freunden und würden auch wiederkommen.

Perfection

We stayed at three places on Sao Miguel and this was by far the best. If we could have extended our stay here we would have! The apartment was spacious and beautiful and our hosts were so kind and helpful with everything. Ribeira Grande is a great central location to explore everywhere on the island. This home feels like you are a million miles from everywhere at the end of the day which makes it so relaxing. But you are five minutes from the grocery, beaches, restaurants… Don’t think twice about staying here-you won’t regret it!
