We had a very enjoyable stay overall. What we loved most was the setting: the property is surrounded by nature, with spectacular grounds, incredible views and a wonderful sense of peace and privacy. We also loved the location in Furnas, close to Terra Nostra and a great base for exploring São Miguel by car.The house was generally in good condition, but there were two things to improve. From the beginning, the indoor bathroom had a small water leak. It was manageable at first, but after several consecutive uses it became much worse. There is also an outdoor bathroom, but as we were eight people, this was eventually a significant inconvenience. We reported it to the owner, but it took two days to respond. By then, we only had one day left, so there was little point in arranging a repair.We would also suggest clarifying the heated pool in the description. The water was perfect for the first three days, but then became quite cold for both children and adults. The heating cannot be controlled during the summer months, and with temperatures around 17–24C and little sunshine, the pool could not maintain a warm temperature.Apart from this issue, communication with the owner was very good. He was always kind, friendly and considerate, and made us feel very welcome. Despite the issues mentioned, we had a very positive experience and especially loved the location, nature, grounds, views and peaceful atmosphere. A beautiful place to stay in Furnas.
