Location, location!
We found this little gem on the sea. The location is fantastic, right in front of the sea, in the middle of town. Herminio was great to work with right from the time we booked, till leaving. He provided much information about the island, car rental info, suggestions on sights to see.Entry to apt was easy. Very clean, and very well equipped with everything needed. Would definitely come again and stay. Hopefully in a little less rainy period so we could make use of upper patio.

Perfect home with a stunning view
The property was perfect for our family of 3 with every convenience needed, a smart layout, and ocean views on all levels, with a stunning outlook from the main living room and including a rooftop deck. The property is close to a number of restaurants and the town center. Herminio was a responsive host and dropped by to say a friendly hello. Highly recommended!

Beautiful property in perfect location
This property is stunning! Very clean with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Well stocked kitchen, beautiful view and roof terrace. Herminio is very easy to contact and very helpful if there are queries. The air conditioning was most welcome in August. I would stay here again if I were to visit Vila Franca do Campo again in the future.

Place is wonderful and very clean. Views from the living room and upstairs porch are amazing. I miss the ocean already. Excellent location for hiking all over the island then return and enjoy the view and the sound of the ocean.

Mooi, modern en schoon appartement met fantastisch uitzicht.
Mooi, modern en schoon appartement met fantastisch uitzicht op de oceaan vanaf terras en woonkamer. In het appartement is alles aanwezig. Prima bedden. Na een week wordt het appartement schoongemaakt en bad/bed linnen verschoond. Host was zelf ook op vakantie tijdens ons verblijf, maar was wel bereikbaar en contact vooraf was prima. Gratis parkeren in de straatjes rond het appartement is geen probleem. Dichtbij het vliegveld en alles waar je heen wilt is binnen een uur rijden. Absolute aanrader.

Wunderschönes Haus am Meer
Wunderschön gelegenes Häuschen mit einenr umwerfenden Sicht auf das Meer - die Kommunikation mit Hermino war perfekt, jedes unserer kleinen Anliegen wurde prompt erledigt. Besonders angenehm war auch die 1x pro Woche stattfindende vollständige Reinigung der Wohnung. Vila Franca do Campo ist ein wunderschönes Städtchen, Restaurants und kleine Supermärkte in Laufnähe, ein großer Pingo Doce 3min mit dem Auto am Ortseingang. VFdC liegt ideal für Inselausflüge - alle Ziele sind maximal 30-40 Minuten entfernt.

Comfortable apartment with Stunning views
The apartment was clean and comfortable, and the views are stunning. The large glass doors open easily from the 2nd-floor living room/kitchen so you can hear the waves as you eat breakfast. The outdoor patio on the third floor also has a great view (though in early March the weather was a little chilly for us to use it.) Indoors on the third floor, there is also a small writing desk with a nice view. The kitchen was well-stocked with equipment and dishes. Bring your own shampoo. Communication was quick and easy. We had a lovely stay and I highly recommend.

Geniales Ferienhaus
Das Haus lässt keine Wünsche offen. Die zentrale Lage auf der Insel, der Ort selbst und das Haus direkt am Meer. Alles perfekt für einen tollen Urlaub. Die Bilder werden dem fantastischen Ausblick von der Terrasse oder dem Panoramafenster nicht gerecht. Es ist in Wirklichkeit noch viel schöner und beeindruckender.

Fantastic View, fantastic holiday apartment
Everything was just right. The apartment was clean and very well furnished. Our host was very nice and helpful. The communication was exemplary. The highlight of the apartment is certainly the roof terrace with barbecue and the unobstructed view of the sea, which can also be enjoyed from the living room. The apartment is strategically located in the middle of the south coast. All important destinations can be reached quickly. Absolute recommendation we would love to come back.

Tolles Apartment
Ich habe den Aufenthalt in dem Apartment sehr genossen, die Lage und der Meerblick sind fantastisch. Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und super ausgestattet. Lediglich die Dusche könnte einer Grundreinigung unterzogen werden, da sich dort in den Abdichtungen und Ecken etwas Schimmel gebildet hat.

Perfect location great property
Apart from parking not always ideal as no parking directly by house everything was excellent. The property had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Hermione was always available when needed. The property was just as the pictures showed. The village and it's amenities are all within easy walking distance including the harbour area for sea trips and eating out. The second floor with its Juliet balcony and double opening doors and the rooftop terrace overlooking the sea made it perfect when relaxing .

Traumhafter Blick aufs Meer
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in dem Ferienhaus sehr genossen. Von alle Zimmern hat man einen Blick aus Meer. Fußläufig können einige gute Restaurants erreicht werden. Brötchen holen im Supermarkt zu Fuß war auch kein Problem. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und wir freuten uns über die Nespresso Kaffeemaschine. Auch bei schlechtem Wetter ist die Unterkunft zu empfehlen, weil man vom Wohnbereich wunderbar den Blick aufs Meer genießen kann. Auf der schönen Terrasse im obersten Stock hätte ich mir einen Liegestuhl gewünscht. Sofadecke und Sofakissen wären ebenfalls nett gewesen. Aber das ist jammern auf hohen Niveau. Schade, dass die Schlafzimmer direkt an der Straße liegen. So kann man nicht mit gekippten Fenster schlafen und das Meeresrauschen hören. Heizung und Klimaanlage ist vorhanden. Nur die Lüftung km Fensterfreien Badezimmer könnte besser sein. Mit einem Mietwagen kann man von hier wunderbar die Insel erkunden und das Auto direkt vor der Unterkunft auf der Straße parken.

Awesome stay
My wife and I loved this property. The view is outstanding and it is close to both groceries and restaurants. Very good central location to all the great highlights on São Miguel. Furnas, Sete Cidades, Nordeste,…. All within an easy drive. Herminio was a great host. Always available and quick to respond. Only thing I would improve is to remind travelers to bring their own soaps and shampoo, as well as any spices, sugar, etc you might need. Coffee was available but that was it.

The sites, the sounds, the location
Our time in Vila Franca at Taipas House was wonderful. The perfect location gave us beauty right out our window and convenient walking access to the center of the town. The house was thoughtfully equipped with all we would ever need. Each evening after dining at one of the nearby restaurants we returned to the third floor open deck to hear the waves and view the light of the setting sun reflected off the Vila Franca Islet. Thank you Herminio for your part in making our stay in the Azores such a beautiful experience.

Lifestyle trifft Regionales
Wir haben die cleane Ausstattung, den phantastischen Meerblick vom Wohn/Esszimmer und der windgeschützten Terrasse täglich und auch bei Regen überaus genossen. Das Haus wurde alle vier Tage sauberst gereinigt und Bettwäsche sowie Handtücher gewechselt. Der sehr freundliche Vermieter Hermino war hat gerne Tipps zu guten Gaststätten gegeben und war sehr hilfsbereit. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Intifada Herminio

Wonderful modern apartment in great location
We stayed here for a week in early March and were very pleased with this apartment. The location was perfect for several reasons: the lovely ocean view from the patio on the top floor, easy walking distance to several local restaurants and a wonderful bakery, and also because this is a good central and quiet location from which to explore in all directions of the island without suffering through the hubbub of a large town like Ponta Delgada. The apartment had all the mod cons, including kitchen equipment although we only cooked one dinner in. The wifi was fast, the hot water plentiful, on-street parking was available, and Herminio was always available if we had questions. The beds were quite comfortable although the bottom sheets may be a little small because they came loose and had to be remade every morning (this was the only annoyance of our entire stay). Having a good washing machine available was a very welcome amenity, and an excellent drying rack. Can't speak to the air conditioning as it was still chilly, but the heat worked just fine when we needed it. All in all, we recommend this place highly and would stay here again in a heartbeat!
