Pros:

Die Unterkunft hat eine wirklich hervorragende Lage. Man erreicht schnell Restaurants in Madalena, ebenso wie Startpunkte für Wanderungen – zum Beispiel für eine Vulkanbesteigung – oder Aktivitäten wie Whale Watching.

Das Personal war durchweg freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer sind ausreichend groß, schön eingerichtet und insgesamt sehr angenehm. Auch das Frühstück ist eher klein gehalten, aber liebevoll zubereitet und für uns vollkommen ausreichend gewesen.

Einziger kleiner Kritikpunkt war, dass die Zimmer etwas feucht wirkten bzw. einen leicht klammen Geruch hatten. Allerdings ist das vermutlich der Lage am Atlantik und der naturbelassenen Umgebung geschuldet und daher nicht ungewöhnlich.

Insgesamt haben wir unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und können die Unterkunft definitiv weiterempfehlen.

Pros:

Sehr schön & sauber. War für unser ein sehr guter Ausgangsort um die Insel zu erkunden.
Es gibt kein Salz/ Öl usw. in der Unterkunft, dass wäre vielleicht noch eine Überlegung zur Verfügung zu stellen; da bei einem kurzen Aufenthalt es doch immer schade ist, es nur für einmal kochen zu kaufen.

Schöner Aufenthalt- mit Ausbaupotential
Pros:

Schöner Bungalow mitten im Wald mit Küche und vor allem die Frühstücksfee, die für unser 6-Monate alte Baby jeden Morgen was neues zubereitet hat.

Cons:

Ausstattung war schön - wie auf den Bildern zu sehen - aber im Gesamtbild hat das Gemütliche gefehlt. Bad war ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen

Vale a pena pela conexão com a natureza.
Pros:

A calma e sensação de paz do local.
O aspeto e comodidade da casa.

Cons:

Era possível ouvir os sons da casa ao lado. Falta de insonorização da casa.
A distância entre a sede e as casas não é muito grande, mas no inverno é um pouco desagradável não podermos ter o carro mais próximo. Para não falar da falta de luz no caminho à noite.

Alojamento simpático, enquadrado na natureza
Pros:

A casinha era agradável e a envolvencia na natureza muito bonita.

Cons:

No dia que subimos o Pico, chegamos ao quarto geladas e molhadas e só queríamos um banho quente, mas a meio do primeiro banho a água ficou gelada. Prontificaram-se a arranjar outra casa para tomar banho, mas realmente a água quente é pouca para duas pessoas - exige que se tome banho a correr (pelo menos na casa que nos foi atribuída)

A iluminação das casas à noite é fraca e o caminho de terra é irregular, podendo originar acidentes.

O pequeno almoço, ainda que gratuito, poderia ser melhorado. Sugestão: utilizarem produtos da ilha.
