Maison ravissante et emplacement top !

Nous avons passé une semaine de rêve à découvrir Sao Miguel. L'emplacement de la maison à Furnas est idéal pour rayonner sur toute l'ile et s'adonner aux joies des randonnées toutes plus magnifiques les unes que les autres. La maison est très confortable et décorée de façon raffinée. Le jardin est un plus pour profiter du beau temps. Les vélos mis à disposition également pour aller faire le tour du lac. Les propriétaires sont adorables et au petit soin pour leurs locataires. Quelques fruits et de délicieux Bolos vous attendent à votre arrivée, ce qui est toujours agréable après un long voyage. Une adresse que nous recommandons vivement et à laquelle nous espérons revenir un jour !

Beautiful Historic House

Church House was perfect for me and my three teen grandsons to explore Sao Miguel. There was plenty of room to spread out, inside and outside. The kitchen was well equipped, but be sure to buy ground coffee. There is no coffee grinder. The kitchen and bathrooms are modern and very clean. The beds are comfortable. The washer and dryer were great to have and laundry detergent is supplied. I did learn to empty the water reservoir in the dryer into the toilet after every load. I had never seen a dryer like that, but our host walked me through it. There are also instructions near the dryer, which I did not see—but they were in plain sight. During the day, the street is crowded with parked cars because the house is very close to the entrance of Terra Nostra. I had to park several blocks up the street many days and then move the car to the house. You will hear the church bells, but they are pretty and you get used to them. The grounds are lush and private and make a great place to eat meals or sit and read. The village of Furnas is very safe and people are friendly. I let the boys find their way to various bakeries and grocery stores on their own, which they enjoyed very much. I would gladly stay at Church House again and highly recommend it.

Relaxing Stay in the mountains

My wife and I enjoyed the home and area. The house is very clean but was a bit musty smelling during our stay (it was quite humid and foggy). We were encouraged to use the wood stove for heat to save electricity. The wood was all fairly damp and so took effort to bring loads in to season by the fire and many fire starters to get going each evening. Everything you could need is provided, and the hosts were kind enough to leave a basket with local fruits/ bread for our arrival. The town is small and bell towers charmingly mark the hour and half ours throughout the day and evening. The bells did go into fits of tolling on Saturdays and Sundays here and there- this last Saturday we were convinced kids had snuck in because they tolled for so long and in random patters non-stop. Sundays also mark some local tradition we couldn’t get to the bottom of where three shots are heard in succession throughout the afternoon- not sure what that was about. Heard this in multiple cities on Sundays. The thermal baths up the road are very nice but super busy. I can only recommend trying to get there when they first open. The island is gorgeous and the people are very warm and gracious. We would not hesitate to return.

Girls trip to the Azores

The place was exactly what we were looking for. Warmly decorated, rustic and cozy with a wood fire stove and a beautiful private back yard garden. Plenty of space. The kitchen was well outfitted and also spacious. It was perfectly located so that we could walk to everything - thermal spa, garden, town center. The guest book helped us make decisions about outings. I would highly recommend it!!!
