Perfect taste of authenticity

What an awesome stay! The place is nestled in the mountains a few km above Sao Vicente. You’ll need wheels! It is a typical village surrounded by locals - not a tourist in site. The perfect getaway! The property itself was great. Obviously lived in, so you’re in somebody’s actual house rather than a faceless rental. Everything you need is there to cook, clean and sleep soundly. Communication with the owner was brilliant via WhatsApp, and entry was easy via a key safe. Drive has space for a couple of cars and there’s a games room with pool table and fussball. This was perfect for my needs! Thanks

5 Tage Wandern im Norden

Sehr schönes Häuschen in den Bergen. Nach den Wanderungen konnte man draußen herrlich den Abend genießen. Wir waren zu dritt und sind bequem im Haupthaus untergekommen. Alles funktionstüchtig. Es gibt eine spannende Levadawanderung, Levada da Fajā do Rodrigues, ganz in der Nähe. Sehr gute und freundliche Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter. Jederzeit gerne wieder! Herzlichen Dank, Eugenio!!

Semaine dépaysante à Sao Vicente

Charmante maisonnette face aux montagnes. Nous avons pleinement profité de la terrasse et du barbecue. Notre hôte a été très attentionné et à l’écoute. Une chouette adresse qui permet de rayonner aisément une semaine depuis la jolie ville de Sao Vicente !

Een authentieke woning van een local. Je verblijft tussen de locals van het dorp wat het zo leuk en aangenaam maakt.Van de buurvrouw uien, courgette en komkommers gekregen. De ligging is ideaal, er is in de omgeving veel te doen en te zien. Contact met de eigenaar via whatsapp was uitstekend, gezellig en stelde suggesties voor uitstapjes en restaurants.

Le logement est parfait, de par sa localisation (au calme mais proche du littoral et des zones des sommets de l'île), de par sa disposition (1 chambre dans une dépendance, très apprécié par les enfants), et par son vaste espace extérieur (BBQ et jardin pour profiter des soirées). Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans ce logement.

Location très bien placée pour les randonnées en secteur forestier et humide de l'île

Alimentation et restaurants à proximité sur la côte nord ouest donc souvent nuageux et donc frais pour la nuit c'est agréable. Bien placé pour les randonnées, même la point Sao Lorenzo à l'opposé de l'île est à 1h de route.

Petite maison entre mer et montagne

Les 2 maisonnettes sont à flanc de montagne dans le quartier de Ginjas, au-dessus de Sao Vicente. Magnifique vue sur les montagnes environnantes et les terrasses agricoles ainsi que, depuis la chambre et la petite salle à manger, sur la mer à Sao Vincente. A une vingtaine de minutes de Encumeada, d’où partent de nombreuses randonnées (« PR »). Accueil très chaleureux des propriétaires, très aidants. La cuisine et le salon attenant n’ont pas de fenêtre, mais cela ne nous a pas gêné en laissant la lumière entrer par la porte ouverte.
