Perfect Ending

We were on the Azores for a week shooting a travel show for American PBS called Outside Beyond the Lens. We picked this property as our last place to stay since it was in a part of Terceira we hadn't seen yet, and we wanted to film some of the gorgeous agricultural settings of the island. On our last night, we set up cameras and drones and shot everything we needed from the driveway under a top-ten sunset. The home is warm and inviting, and I just loved the feel of the place. We can't recommend this home enough! THANK YOU!!

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Woche in der Casa das Vaquinhas. Das Haus ist grosszügig und gut ausgestattet. Der Aussenraum ist super zum essen, grillieren, und spielen auf der grossen Wiese. Die Nähe zum Dorf Biscoitos is optimal. Sehr empfehlenswert!
