The host, and the people that worked for her were excellent. So welcoming, so full of knowledge and advice. (She left us some local treats and wines and that was just such a pleasant surprise)... The house was fabulous. Beautifully designed, clean, had everything you would need to make dinners or do laundry. The beach and a great little beach restaurant were walkable.... and my goodness the sights of the Azores are something I would never get enough of. Waterfalls, the most stunning lakes, the hydrangeas that lined the roads, the local walks, beautiful beaches. Thank you to our hosts!
