    The location is beautiful, next to a natural swimming pool. Also very quiet at night. A lot of space in the apartment.

    The hosts were great and knew great hiking routes around the island and helped with contacting taxis. They send all information about the island beforehand. Facilities were also fine. A bit small but not an issue if you are staying here for seeing the island. If we are going back some day, we would stay here again.

    Amazing location, really romantic, quiet and surrounded by nature and it’s sounds, but close to everything else … Stunning view to Mount Pico and the ocean. Philippe, the owner is a very good host and helps where he can. Basic equipment including a washing machine!

    Gisela and her husband were wonderful with us, the place was very cosy and the view was incredible. It was rather quiet even though it is near Velas and everything important is within reach.

    The location is stunning, peaceful, and marvellous. From the bungalows, you have a really impressive view over the ocean, to Pico island and to Pico mountain. The bungalow is comfortable and well equipped. Ideally located for the airport, Ferry Port, Velas, and touring around São Jorge. The owner is really friendly and helpful - nothing is too much trouble. An excellent relation price - facilities. Highly recommend for your stay in São Jorge !!

    Beatriz was very friendly and even picked us up at the ferry. She gave us great tips on which places we should visit on Sao Jorge and which hiking routes and restaurants she would recommend. The appartement was decorated/furnished with love as you can already see on the pictures. We really enjoyed our stay there and would highly recommend it!
