Peace and quiet in the country
First the description of the property and specifically the area were way undersold. When we arrived we were blown away by the areas beauty with cottages, rolling hills, rock fencing, flowers and birds. The property has amazing views of the surrounding farms and the ocean. We feel in love with the nearby town of Santo Espirito with daily trips to get espressos and pastel nata, wine or to eat at Brasil Tropical. We took daily drives to different parts of the beautiful Santa Maria where everything was within 25 min. Favorite restaurants on the island included Ponta Negra in Sao Lorenzo where we had a 3 1/2 hour lunch and Traversso in Vila Do Porto. We would highly recommend this home to anyone who wants to find piece and quiet, reconnect to nature and do it all within the comforts of a traditional Azorean cottage.

Fantastische Aussicht.... aber das wars auch
Es stank fürchterlich vermodert. Trotz unterbrochenen Lüften wurde es nicht besser.Erholungfaktor=Null Wir haben deshalb auf die Benutzung der Schränke verzichtet. Das Gras auf dem Grundstück(incl Zufahrt) war Kniehoch. Der Warmwasserboiler war defekt (schon vor unserer Ankunft), er durfte nur 30 min im Betrieb sein. War Boiler und Herd ( zum Brötchen aufbacken) gleichzeitig an kam regelmäßig die Sicherung. Die Außensitzgruppe war voll mit Katzenhaaren.

Charmante maison dans un coin tranquille avec un superbe jardin
Nous avons passé un incroyable séjour dans cette maison au calme dans un environnement incroyable. Magnifique jardin équipé d’une table et chaises pour déjeuner dehors et de chaises longues pour savourer le calme des environs. Nous avons bien pu en profiter le premier jour, un peu moins les jours suivants vu la météo plutôt orageuse. Belle situation pour explorer les environs. Non loin de la maison, ne manquez pas la rando qui donne sur le dessus de la « cascata do aveiro » ou même la descente vers Maia. Les chambres et les lits sont confortables et la cuisine très complète est munie de tout ce qui faut. Notre meilleure adresse de notre séjour dans les différentes îles cette année. Communication aisée et rapide avec Margrit. Quelques attentions et fournitures de base nous attendaient, ce qui fut un plus pour agrémenter notre petit déjeuner du lendemain vu notre arrivée tardive. Bref un séjour parfait.

Wunderschönes Haus
Wir haben eine wundervolle Woche in der Casa Margarida verbracht. Das Haus ist wunderschön und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Insbesondere die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet, es gibt sehr gute Töpfe und mehr als genug gutes Geschirr. Sogar Eierbecher haben wir gefunden. Die gut funktionierende Spülmaschine rundet das Ganze noch ab. Anders als viele andere Häuser auf den Azoren, roch dieses nicht feucht und muffig. Die Lage ist herrlich, total ruhig, mitten in der Natur. Es gibt Möbel für draussen und auch Sonnenschirme, so dass wir mit Blick aufs Meer und den Sonnenaufgang auf der Terrasse frühstücken konnten. Auch gab es einen guten Grill, den wir mehrfach benutzt haben. Die Betten waren bequem und es gab für jeden eine eigene Bettdecke, anders als sonst in Portugal. Das einzige, was uns nicht ganz so gut gefallen hat, ist dass man die Schlafzimmer nicht gut lüften kann. Nur jeweils eines der Fenster lässt sich öffnen und ist mit einem kleinen Fliegengitter versehen. Wir haben uns geholfen, indem wir nachts alle Zimmertüren offen gelassen haben, so dass die Luft zirkulieren konnte. So ging es dann. Dazu muss man allerdings sagen, dass wir grosse Frischluftfanatiker sind und zuhause selbst im tiefstem Winter mit weit offenen Fenster schlafen. Insgesamt eine klare Empfehlung, wir würden es jederzeit wieder buchen.
