Très bon hôtel
Pros:

- L'Emplacement face à la mer : chemin côtier accessible à pied avec piscine naturelle, foodtruck et un super bar pour les couchers de soleil sur Fayal. Le mont Pico visible juste derrière l'hôtel. A 2 minutes en voiture / 13 min à pied du ferry et centre ville.
- le personnel aimable et serviable
- la chambre avec terrasse vue mer. quelques voitures passent sur la route mais cela n'est pas dérangeant la nuit, fenêtres fermées.

Cons:

- Envisager la possibilité de mettre un affichage à accrocher à la poignée de la porte extérieure pour indiquer que l'on ne souhaite pas être dérangé pour le ménage le matin.
- Les lits un peu trop fermes

Amazing views in a comfortable and spacious apartment!
Pros:

A very spacious apartment. Thoughtfully designed with amazing views of the mountain from the kitchen and views of the ocean from the bedroom balcony. Location was just outside Madalena, with easy parking and access to drive around the island. We were working remotely and both of us had no issues with the wifi.

Staff were kind and attentive. Cleaning each day was great. Shower was very clean. All the service you enjoy in a hotel with the comforts of a private apartment.

A lovely clean, modern apartment with beautiful views of Faial and with lovely owners and staff
Pros:

Modern, spotlessly clean, very friendly staff and beautiful views in a convenient location. We liked the fact that there was a small kitchen so that we could make breakfast / meals.

Cons:

There was nothing we didn’t like. It was a perfect spot to spend 6 nights. We had such a comfortable stay.

Pros:

Gostei de tudo.

Cons:

Não gostei de receber mensagens em inglês, sendo eu portuguesa e encontrar-me em Portugal.
Solicitei a correção e disseram-me para eu fazer a tradução, fiquei incrédula.
