The kitchen is well equipped with all the tools, including an electric cooker, a tradicional oven as well as a fridge with complementary ingredients for your first breakfast.
If you want to stay forever, high speed internet is at your disposal with 150 TV channels. If it's too quiet for you, there are bars and restaurants by the sea just 5 minutes away, near some surf spots.

Perfect taste of authenticity

What an awesome stay! The place is nestled in the mountains a few km above Sao Vicente. You’ll need wheels! It is a typical village surrounded by locals - not a tourist in site. The perfect getaway! The property itself was great. Obviously lived in, so you’re in somebody’s actual house rather than a faceless rental. Everything you need is there to cook, clean and sleep soundly. Communication with the owner was brilliant via WhatsApp, and entry was easy via a key safe. Drive has space for a couple of cars and there’s a games room with pool table and fussball. This was perfect for my needs! Thanks

Die Kommunikation zwischen dem Hausbesitzer und uns war völlig unkompliziert und seitens des Gastgebers sehr zuvorkommend, aufmerksam und freundlich. Das Haus ist liebevoll und individuell eingerichtet. Es ist alles da, was man für eine gute Zeit braucht. Wir haben uns sehr wohl und heimisch gefühlt.Die Lage ist oberhalb von Sao Vincente. Es ist sehr ruhig und friedlich.

Leider enttäuscht, Schimmel und modrig riechend

Ein wirklich netter Gastgeber, Kommunikation war auch im Vorfeld toll. Es waren ein paar Lebensmittel im Kühlschrank und auch sonst alles vorhanden. Das war das positive Die Wohnung ist dunkel, roch extrem modrig und muffig.Die Decke im Bad bröselt langsam runter, der Abfluss der Dusche lief nicht gut, die Fenster sind undicht (wir hatten einen Tag starken Regen und das Wasser kam durch die geschlossenen Fenster.Weißer Schimmel wuchs an den Wänden unter den Fenstern und flockte fröhlich, wenn man in die Nähe kam.Es gab einen Luftentfeuchter, dessen Behälter nach nur 1,5 Tagen voll warWir haben uns alles Andere als wohl gefühlt

Sehr schönes Häuschen in den Bergen. Nach den Wanderungen konnte man draußen herrlich den Abend genießen. Wir waren zu dritt und sind bequem im Haupthaus untergekommen. Alles funktionstüchtig.

Le logement est parfait, de par sa localisation (au calme mais proche du littoral et des zones des sommets de l'île), de par sa disposition (1 chambre dans une dépendance, très apprécié par les enfants), et par son vaste espace extérieur (BBQ et jardin pour profiter des soirées).

Petite maison entre mer et montagne

Les 2 maisonnettes sont à flanc de montagne dans le quartier de Ginjas, au-dessus de Sao Vicente. Magnifique vue sur les montagnes environnantes et les terrasses agricoles ainsi que, depuis la chambre et la petite salle à manger, sur la mer à Sao Vincente. A une vingtaine de minutes de Encumeada, d’où partent de nombreuses randonnées (« PR »). Accueil très chaleureux des propriétaires, très aidants. La cuisine et le salon attenant n’ont pas de fenêtre, mais cela ne nous a pas gêné en laissant la lumière entrer par la porte ouverte.
