Our stay at this villa was spectacular! From the beginning, the owner was quick to respond to my inquiries and provided helpful information about the area. Check-in and check-out were very easy.Everything about the home was thoughtfully designed, and the decor is beautiful. The upper and lower patios were highlights, with comfortable furniture, gorgeous plants, and wonderful views of Vila Franca Island, the beach, and surfers on the water. We loved watching sunrises, sunsets, and even a few rainbows from the patios.The kitchen and dining area were spacious and perfect for our group of six. The kitchen was very well equipped, with plenty of glassware and two nice coffee makers. We especially enjoyed gathering around the beautiful dining table, where all six of us could sit comfortably. The bedrooms were spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated.The location is terrific. A tiny market is just a few doors down, and several good restaurants and the marina are within a few blocks. Whale-watching tours, kayaking trips, and ferries to the island are all nearby.Some of us had visited São Miguel before and stayed in Lagoa, but we much preferred Vila Franca do Campo. We have stayed in a dozen or more villas in different countries, and this one is, without a doubt, our favorite so far.We would happily return and highly recommend this beautiful villa to anyone visiting São Miguel!
