Schönes Cottage am Meer

Das Haus entsprach der Beschreibung in jeder Hinsicht. Es liegt am Ende einer kleinen Ortschaft und ist ein wunderbarer Ausgangspunkt um die Sehenswürdigkeiten der Insel zu entdecken. Ein Naturschwimmbad ist fußläufig zu erreichen. Direkt hinterm Haus befinden sich Klippen mit tollem Ausblick aufs Meer. Hier haben wir gern gesessen. Der Garten ist echt schön. Es gibt Sitz- und Liegemöglichkeiten. Ein Grillplatz ist auch vorhanden. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet und auch zum Grillen ist alles da. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und haben uns wirklich erholen können. Ein Auto ist angebracht. Der nächste Supermarkt ist mit dem Auto etwa 5 Minuten entfernt.

A nice rustic cottage with a walking trail nearby.

We enjoyed our stay at the rustic cottage. A walking trail along the coast to the nearby town was enjoyable. The provisions within the cottage upon our arrival were sparse; very little toilet paper or paper towels provided, no hand/shower soap. Our communication with our host was great. I would recommend this location .

By The Sea

A traditional cottage right on the ocean, this home was perfectly located for our exploration of Sao Miguel island. It had everything that we needed for a housekeeping stay and going through the back gate to sit and sip a glass of local wine and watch the waves break on the rocky shoreline was almost paradise. Bonita was attentive and readily available when needed. The island itself is gorgeous and green and you can't go anywhere it seems without an amazing view of the Atlantic Ocean. We visited in September and the weather was just perfect - always between 20 and 25, warm in the daytime and just a bit cooler at night with never ending sea breezes. The roads were never crowded and we so much enjoyed exploring all the off-the-beaten-path "miradouros" or designated lookout places where extraordinary vistas of sea and mountains awaited us. Fabulous vacation. Thanks Bonita

altes Steinhaus in zentraler Lage

Schönes altes Steinhaus in guter Lage an den Klippen. Wenn alle Türen und Fenster verschlossen sind kommt es zu starken Geruch nach Salpeter, was wohl dem alten Gemäuer geschuldet ist. Auch der morgen- und abendliche Besuch von Kakerlaken lässt sich dadurch kaum vermeiden, wer also Atemwegserkrankungen hat und sich vor den kleinen tierischen Besuchern ekelt, sollte lieber ein modernes Haus wählen. Die Ausstattung ist sehr gut und es ist alles vorhanden, was zum täglichen Leben benötigt wird. Die Terrasse mit dem Grill und der Feuerstelle im Garten sind prima. Kurz aus der Gartentür raus und man steht an den Klippen zum Meer, hier den Sonnenaufgang zu bewundern ist traumhaft. Zur nächsten Möglichkeit ins Meer zum Baden zu gelangen sind es aber ca. 15 Minuten Fussweg. Leider wurde gleich am ersten Abend bei uns eingebrochen und unsere Urlaubskasse und einige andere Dinge aus dem Schlafzimmer zur Strasse gestolen. Wir bemerkten dann, dass sich das Fenster zwar zuschieben lies, dann aber nicht mehr verriegelte. Nachdem wir den Vermieter darüber informierten, wurde das Fenster auch sofort repariert. Man sagte uns, dass so etwas noch nie vorgekommen ist und die Gegend sehr sicher sei. (Fast alle anderen Häuser haben aber Gitter vor den Fenstern). Auch hatten wir das Gefühl, dass man uns nicht glaubte, dass Geld und Gegenstände gestohlen wurden. Leider hatten wir nicht die Polizei informiert, so dass wir keine Bestätigung für die Versicherung hatten - ist uns eine Lehre! Wir haben lediglich den Vermieter gebeten uns zu bestätigen, dass wir sie über den Einbruch informiert haben - hat er aber nicht getan, weil man uns den den Diebsstahl wohl nicht glaubte und wir die defekte Verriegelung des Fensters durch zu festes zuziehen selbst verursacht hätten. Fazit: Wir kommen gerne wieder nach Sao Miguel, wählen aber eine andere Unterkunft.
