Charming bungalow a 20 min walk from Horta Marina

We enjoyed our stay - It was very clean, charming with an outdoor courtyard where we enjoyed our morning coffee and dinner once or twice. One observation and one way it could have been better. The ladder to the beds is steep and whereas we didn't have any problem climbing UP the ladder - coming down! the ladder in the middle of the night in the dark - or in the morning is slightly dangerous. So, if you are young and fit and are OK with climbing ladders - this is a sweet place for you. Also, the bed areas in the loft do not have full headroom - so you have to duck when you're up in the sleeping loft area. The only real complaint is about the bath towels. They were old and stiff and an unfortunate color of grey. Nice, new, soft bath towels would be a great addition.

La casa è molto caratteristica e ben ristrutturata, pulita e in ordine. Si è rivelata, però, estremamente ridotta in ogni spazio. La sconsigliamo per più di due persone perché, nel soppalco molto, molto basso non c'è spazio e bisogna aprire le valige al piano terra non lasciando altro spazio per muoversi. Il bagno ha un lavandino piccolissimo. Il ruscello dietro casa a volte emana odori non piacevoli.

Casa muy amplia y acogedora, cuidada. La ubicacion está muy bien ya que puedes aparcar sin problema en los alrededores y puedes llegar al centro en unos 8 min andando. Al entrar dispones de una pequeña terraza donde comer en el exterior. En la planta de abajo hay un salon, la cocina y el baño. En la parte de arriba estan las dos camas de matrimonio. Esta bastante limpia y equipada. Hay mosquiteras en todas las ventanas pero aun asi, siempre entra algun insecto. Nos ha gustado mucho.

Staying in the boat house

The house is well equipped and the location excellent, although one must plan to walk 200 meters to reach the house which is on a peculiar road to deive. the host is suoer helpful and polite, the kitchen fully stocked.

Petite maison charmante à Horta

Jolie petite maison à proximité du centre ville d'Horta. Idéal pour profiter d'Horta et pour rayonner sur Faial. La maison a du cachet, mais est de taille modeste. Nous étions 4 dont 2 enfants (8 et 10), et on aurait pu se sentir à l'étroit si la météo nous avait obligés à rester à l'intérieur. Pas de problème par contre pour les couchages, même si l'escalier d'accès est pentu. A noter le passage très étroit pour accéder en voiture à la maison, mais ça passe! Pour les procédures d'arrivée puis de départ, nous avons facilement pu communiquer avec Patricia par téléphone ou message.

Kleines Ruheparadies

Herrliche Lage, weit ab vom Trubel! Gemütliches Ferienhaus mit guter Ausstattung in fantastischer Ruhe. Zentrum und Hafen sind zu Fuß erreichbar. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und die Abende über dem grünen, trockenem Bachbett genossen.

adresse de charme à recommander à Horta

Une location qui dépasse en qualité de prestations ce que l'annonce promet; un accueil en français très sympathique; une proximité du centre ville très appréciable mais au calme; bref que des compliments à faire et un hébergement à recommander sans aucune hésitation.

Schönes kleine Haus

Ein hübsches kleines Häuschen im gemütlichen Innenhof in guter Lage von Horta, alles gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Lediglich die "Hühnerleiter" zum Schlafbereich könnte für ältere Leute Probleme bereiten. Vermieterin Patricia spricht fließend Englisch. ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Gemütliches Häuschen am Bach

lauschiges, gemütliches Häuschen, kompltett eingerichtet, geschickt ausgebaut, sehr zentral und trotzdem ruhig gelegen. Zufahrt nur mit Kleinwagen möglich. Patricia ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, hat sich sehr um uns gekümmert, ohne aufdringlich zu sein.
