Nice quite location with a great view. There is a natural swimming pool down the road with a cafe to eat with a great view as well. Pico is amazing. Must drive the whole island to see all the various landscaping.

Die Wohnung ist perfekt für 2 Personen und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Es hat absolut nichts gefehlt. Alles ist sehr sauber und gepflegt. Das Highlight ist aber die fantastische Terrasse. Wenn man vorne sitzt, hat man einen 180 Grad Blick auf das Meer. Möchte man Wind- oder Sonnenschutz, hat man viel Platz an der Seite unterm Dach. Die Eigentümerin Fatima ist eine hervorragende Gastgeberin und gab uns bei Ankunft ein Willkommenspaket mit lokalen Produkten der Insel, köstlicher selbstgemachter Marmelade und sogar einem Erinnerungsgeschenk an die Insel, das ihr Sohn, ein Künstler, gestaltet hat. Ihre Tipps zu Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Bäckerei und Restaurants in der näheren Umgebung waren sehr hilfreich. Auch zum Zeitpunkt, um auf den Pico zu klettern, hat sie uns perfekt beraten. Es war ein super entspannter und angenehmer Aufenthalt.

Eine sehr schöne Ferienwohnung
Schon der Empfang in unserer Ferienwohnung war einmalig : mit Wein, selbsgebackenem Kuchen, Obst, Aufschnit u. Anderes! So konnte man sich schon am 1. Tag heimisch fühlen.
Die Ausstattung der Räumlichkeiten war für uns ebenso sehr zufriedenstellend, so dass wir diesen Aufenthalt nur positiv bewerten und uns voestellen können, hier erneut einen Urlaub zu verbringen.
