Tranquil retreat
It was obvious by the apartment's décor and cleanliness that the owner takes great pride in taking care of his guests. We were met on arrival and Nuno went through the apartment with us. He responded immediately when we had a small technical problem with the television and checked in on us to ensure everything was fine. We did not have a vehicle but managed quite well on the bus..to Ponta Delgada, Furnas and surrounding areas. The hot tub was a great asset and spent every evening with a glass of wine, watching the stars. The views over the Atlantic, the old Franciscan monastery and rural fields, complete with cows, are peaceful. Without a car, be prepared to walk for restaurants and groceries (up to 1/2 hour each way). No problem for us as we enjoy exploring the local streets. One slight improvement that could be made is perhaps a lounge chair or two in the yard to enjoy the sun. We will definitely stay here if / when we return to the Azores.
