This is a lovely home and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The hosts were very kind and greeted us when we arrived. A very pleasant experience for visiting Furnas and other areas of the island.
It is rare to find perfection in a vacation rental especially for a long term stay. Our month at Villa Natura was outstanding! The home is comfortable, clean, quiet and thoughtfully equipped.The bonus is the warm welcome and attention of Susanna and Rui! The sign in the beautiful garden "This is our happy place" describes our experience. We highly recommend it without hesitation!
Wonderful host. Great location. Very comfortable stay with all necessities available on site. Beautiful traditional design of the house. Outdoor space is an extra benefit. It was a memorable vacation.
Impeccably clean property with amazing hosts. Property has a beautiful garden with a view of the mountains. Highly recommended!

Wonderful family home located in the heart of Furnas.
Great starting point to visit other areas of the Island. Susana is a great host and makes one feel at home.
Nice, clean house. Very well-stocked. The kitchen was loaded with appliances and dishes for use. Furniture was comfortable. Mabel offered great suggestions for area restaurants and attractions. Excellent Wi-Fi and multiple nice televisions to stream entertainment. Outstanding communication and easy check-in/check-out.
We loved the villa. Everything was clean and the property was beautiful. We love the outdoor space and being able to travel around the entire island. The welcome basket was a special plus. We will be back hopefully

We stayed at Villa Natura for a week. We had an amazing time in Furnas. Susana is very friendly, explained everything in and around the house carefully. The house itself is just beautiful, especially the large garden. The house is well-equipped and located in walking distance of all the major Furnas sights, grocery stores, bakeries, and several restaurants. There are two nice beaches in the south, 15 minutes by car. And the area is of course perfect for hiking. Just a perfect place to combine outdoor activities with relaxing at Villa Natura.
The house was great, especially the outdoor areas. Communication was easy and Susana was very friendly and accommodating. Location was perfect - lots to do in walking distance and Furnas was convent for driving to other parts of the island for day trips. Wonderful trip, highly recommend!
