About this property

Natural Park, Faial Island Casa da Guia - Two Bedroom House AL/1084

Casa da Guia is a cute and cozy 2 bedroom house located in the Natural Park of Faial´s Monte Guia region. An area rich in flora, fauna and unique geological features. Only a short walk up from Casa da Guia are cliffs of eroded coastlines that make up the Baía das Caldeirinhas. A sanctuary for observing many species of birds and sea-life. Directly from this area are walking trails that make up the Circuits of Monte de Guia for amazing views of Porto Pim Bay, Horta City, Pico Island and Sao Jorge Island.
From the house there is a private pathway that leads to the popular, Praia do Porto Pim with golden sand, Blue Flag status that has stunningly beautiful blue calm waters, wonderful to visit anytime of the year.
Even though Casa da Monte Guia is set in an area of peace and tranquility, many places of interest and city conveniences are only a few minutes drive away. . At the base of Mount da Guia is the whale station, Fáabrica da Baleia, the sea centre, Centro do Mar and a restaurant with terrace overlooking the beach. And further down the street is where the Marina is located along with the dive shops, whale watchers, tour guide offices, rent a car offices, quaint cafe´s, good restaurants and the famous Peter´s Cafe.

Paradise

A gem that one can hardly fully describe. What a joy to just sit there and look over the three, sometimes even four islands. We watched dolphins (with binoculars) and at night listend to a concert of a special kind, the returning of the cagarros. Being so close to Horta one can walk to the sandy Beach (Porto Pim) or to Horta harbour and town. At night you only hear the see, the birds. Don't forget to go and get a breath of Neptun! It is unforgetable and we will return!

Peace on earth with great view

Casa da Guia est un endroit magique avec une vue magnifique. On a carrément l’impression de dominer la Baie de Horta. Cette petite maison est non seulement accueillante, elle dispose de tout le confort dont on a besoin : calme, complètement à l'abri des regards, magnifiquement rénovée, belle terrasse avec vue sur l'océan, je la recommande sans hésitation. Nous y avons passé 5 jours en mars et un matin, au déjeuner, on a pu apercevoir au loin un rassemblement de dauphins. Avouons que c’est un spectacle un peu inhabituel! Fantastic peaceful place in a very quiet location. It is a great spot to enjoy nature. Comfortable house and perfect host! Thank you so much, Zelda!

A Treasure

This home is perfectly situated above the Horta harbor with a view of Pico, the ocean and Faial. It is a very comfortable home with everything you could wish for. The location is indeed special. There is no place quite like it on the island. Paul was very helpful and pleasant!

Horta, Monte de Guia

Wir hatten eine angenehme Woche in der Casa de Guia. Das kleine Haus liegt in Alleinlage auf der Halbinsel Monte de Guia, nebenan ist in direkter Nachbarschaft noch ein kleines Appartment, das allerdings nicht belegt war. Die Einrichtung empfanden wir als eher spartanisch, die Schlafzimmer sind relativ klein und auch der Wohn-Ess-Raum ist klein. Wir hatten glücklicherweise gutes Wetter. Die Küche ist zur Versorgung ausreichend gut ausgestattet. Es gibt einen großen Kühlschrank mit Gefrierabteil und einen gut funktionierenden Herd, die Dusche bot zu jeder Zeit ausreichend heißes Wasser. Die Terrasse mit dem großen Tisch ist ein hervorragender Aufenthaltsort mit Blick auf den Pico, Horta mit der Marina und natürlich das Meer. Es wäre aber schön, wenn noch ein paar mehr bequeme Stühle oder Liegen dagewesen wären. Es gibt einen kleinen Waschraum mit Waschmaschine. Paul verwaltet das Haus und ist eine absolute Perle ;) Insgesamt ist es ein besonderes Haus, vor allem aufrund der Lage. Wir sind mit dem Taxi vom Flughafen angereist, Sonntags 17 Euro, Samstag 15 Euro. Ansonsten sind wir zu Fuß in den gut ausgestatteten Supemarkt in Horta gelaufen (ca. 30 min), in den Hafen braucht man ca. 20 Minuten, der Strand ist nur gut 10 min entfernt.
