“Beautifully renovated villa with very high standards. Amazing ocean views.”
+Light. Space. Magnificent view. Great beds, waking up with a sun rising over the atlantic ocean. Beautifully renovated house with plenty of attention to detail. Secluded, which we like. Private parking. Large garden. Cool pool. Large bedrooms, perfect for 6 people. Outdoor BBQ. Dolce Gusto coffee maker. Washibg machine/ Dryer. Name it, you'll find it. Not to forget the great host Bruno who elegantly and discreetly gets you started on making the best of 3 days.
−Nothing not to like.

+Wow, what a great villa. Spotlessly clean and well maintaned. It had everything you could need plus a fantastic pool. On top of that Bruno, the host, was so helpful and made us so welcome, sending us details of places to eat and local walks. The house is on a dirt road, but thats not uncommon for the Azores. Follow Bruno's directions, (not google maps) and come in from the Farol de Vale Formoso light house end of the road, and then its only about 200m on the dirt road. The house is close to the Capelinhos Volcano Interpretation Centre (you can walk there) and Faial isn't very big so the whole island is easily acessable from the Villa.

“A relaxing few days in a beautiful house with great swimming pool and outdoor area. A magical place!”
+This is a beautiful house and location. Must be the most beautiful spot on Faial. The house has everything you need, the swimming pool was just fantastic and the outdoor eating area was one of our favorite spots. Bruno is very friendly and provides you with al the information you need. If you like to spend your holiday in a quite area and you have a car to drive around the island, this house is ideal.
−Absolutely nothing.

“Amazing villa for a fabulous stay on Faial”
+Wonderful villa in a calm area, where the sun shines almost all the time - even when other parts of the island are cloudy. It is furnished with a lot of style, beds are super comfy with gorgeous bed linen. The whole property is spotless clean and it has a big kitchen with all you need for preparing meals. There is also an outside BBQ and a washing machine / dryer. The private pool is just amazing! Bruno is a very friendly host. Thank you for making my stay on Ilha Faial so fabulous. I highly recommend this villa to everyone - its magical there!

“Villa Paradise”
+The house was recently renovated (my opinion) . Workmanship was excellent. The house exterior,interior ,The patio ,barbeque area, pool and grounds are all nicely appointed and maintained to a high standard. The kitchen is well equipped with alot of extras(fruit, spices,condiments,etc). The house is isolated ,completely quiet with postcard worthly views. Bruno The owner is what is commonly known as a super host. Hé was there for me and my family in all aspects. In summary and top tier experience. My number 1 recommendation. Ps. Good Star glazing spot.
−No a/c .We were completely comfortable with a nice breeze so on a calm night you might have to chill out with a nice swim in the pool (has diving board).
