Wonderful

The adega was absolutely perfect in every way. Traditional meets modern, and the view was beautiful! Every photo taken " didn't even look real " according to my niece, whose ancestry goes right back to the island. We had an amazing time, the poca was even better than last year because now they have a tapas place! We already miss the Pico kitties, and look fondly on our photographs as we journey further through Portugal at this very moment. Thank you for the welcome food, Pico has the best of everything! I'll be back again and again!

Thank you so much for staying at our house. We are very happy when we can share what the Azores have the best - the silence, the nature, the landscape, the sea. You are always welcome.
Sweet, beautiful house with a great garden and an amazing view. Everything is as discribed. Verry late check in is no problem and small presents/attentiveness were given to have a great start next morning (cofe, fruits, cheese, milk, biscuits). It was wunderful to have been there. Thank you very much.

Petite maison typique dans un cadre charmant
Cette petite maison typique est entourée de jardins et dispose d'une belle vue sur la mer. L'équipement est simple mais complet. Nous avons été accueillis généreusement par Neide qui nous a offert fromage et autres victuailles. Le point faible serait la literie, un peu trop dure pour nous.

Wunderschöne Adega mit gutem Service
Das Haus ist wirklich super niedlich. Alles ist sehr klein und gemütlich. Neide, die Housekeeperin ist super engagiert und erfüllt einem vermutlich jeden Wunsch. Es war besonders aufgrund unserer Ankunftszeit super, dass es etwas Obst, Milch, Käse, Marmelade und Brot gab. Es gibt trotzdem keine fünf Sterne, da es etwas sauberer hätte sein können (Zahnputzbecher nicht gespült, Spinnweben,...) und die Matratzen sehr hart und für uns daher unbequem waren.

L'alloggio è in una bella posizione, si sente l'oceano poco distante, con un bel giardino e completo di tutti i confort. Accogliente e riservato, arredato con gusto che non tradisce l'origine della struttura, un'adega.

A lovely setting
Well equipped house for two. We loved to sit at the top of the steps admiring the views of the sea. Nice quiet spot for relaxing. Car essential, I would say. Prainha has an ocean swimming pool, a bar and a surprisingly well equipped shop about 2 km from the house.
