Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Such a perfect location- partial beach view and walkable to everything in the little town. Large apartment and so clean with extra towels and pillows. Full kitchen was nice too!
We couldn’t get hot water- bit they said it was working so it may be solar heated which would have been good to know. Showers were chilly & short!
La ubicación era frente las playas y muy cerca de poza bacalao
Estaba bastante descuidado, persianas no funcionan, falta algo más de limpieza
Vistas (montaña y mar) Mejor ubicación de toda la isla. (Faja Grande) Trato personal con recomendaciones de restaurantes y lugares a visitar.
Great location, spacious and comfortable
L’emplacement exceptionnel, les volumes et l’espace de l’appartement la réactivité du personnel
La décoration pas très chaleureuse et un peu vieillotte. Il serait également appréciable de prévoir un petit nécessaire de cuisine, sel, poivre huile, particulièrement utile aux voyageurs qui se déplace d’ile en île en avion.
La ubicación es excepcional.
Deberían mejorar la iluminación de los cuartos de baño y pintar las zonas que han tenido humedades además de limpiar bien las telarañas en algunas zonas exteriores
Eine traumhafte Lage direkt am Meer und dann am westlichsten Punkt Europas - westlicher kann man nicht wohnen... Tolle große Villa mit viel Platz, guter Ausstattung und perfektem Blick aufs Meer mit Sonnenuntergang
Nichts zu meckern. Klar, Preis-Leistung ist das hier schon etwas hochpreisiger, aber man bekommt auch was dafür und es ist eben Flores - billige Quartiere gibts hier wohl nicht in der Hauptsaison
O alojamento fica muito bem situado e perto da praia. Ótimo lugar para descansar e usufruir da natureza.
Very nice vila in front of the ocean to have a perfect sunset view. It’s very big and comes with many amenities if you plan to stay there for a bit. The only missing thing is a washing machine but there is a place in town where you can wash your clothes, if needed.
We only stayed one night so was totally okay for us but for longer periods I would expect all the house to be clean, including the balcony.
Alloggio bellissimo, molto pulito e fresco vista la presenza di 3 condizionatori. Cucina, camere e soggiorno grandi. Staff molto gentile e veloce nelle risposte. Bellissima posizione, con la vista sul mare. Abbiamo potuto usufruire gratuitamente della piscina calda
Visto il rapporto qualità prezzo forse potrebbe essere un po' più curato come ad esempio la pulizia delle finestre
Muy bien ubicado
La ubicació i que és un apartament molt ample, pots aparcar el cotxe allà mateix i tens accés a la piscina climatitzada que tenen en una aldea a 3km. A la cuina et deixen capsules nespresso. A prop hi ha la Barraca , un bar restaurant. Cada dia es pot veure la posta de sol El personal contesten ràpid per whatsap. Tot estava molt net i moltes tovalloles ( també per si vols anar a la platja o a la piscina)
Amb les vistes precioses que hi ha i no es veu gaire bé perquè els vidres estan bruts, com amb humitat per dintre. Les persianes algunes ni funcionen i no hi ha cortines en tota la casa, així que no tens intimitat, entra llum,... A la cuina les dues paelles( sartén) moooolt rallades, no tens rentaplats ni rentadora, i no hi ha bayeta humida per netejar la cuina ( la vaig demanar i em van dir que no tenien d'això). Pel preu que pagues, que no es barat, trobo que falta cuidar algunes coses i detalls.. Les cadires i taula del balcó no són com les fotos i en mal estat
Veníamos de un hostal terrorífico y encontrar este apartamento fue un oasis. Se trata de la casa entera, dos baños y dos habitaciones además de cocina equipada y un balcón con vistas al mar. La ubicación es increíble y las vistas privilegiadas. El check-in hay que hacerlo en Aldeia da Cuada, que está un poco lejos, pero el personal fue encantador y hasta nos ofrecieron bañarnos en la piscina clinatizada.
Die Lage
Extrem lieblos und abgewohnt. Wenn man nicht in der ersten Reihe wohnt würde ich die Unterkunft nicht akzeptieren. Kein Öl, Essig, Salz und Pfeffer vorhanden…das ist eigentlich das Minimum. Balkonmöbel entsprechen nicht den Angebotsbildern. Die Lampe neben dem Bett hatte Schimmelflecken und es hat auch nach Schimmel gerochen Grill inakzeptabel
Es war sehr komfortabel.
Es war alles gut
De ligging (mooi uitzicht op de oceaan), hygiënisch pico bello. Goede en vriendelijke uitleg van het personeel. Verwarmd zwembad als extraatje!
Iets te weinig keukenmateriaal, douches moeilijk te regelen
Excelente ubicación, camas comodísimas y baños impecables
Było w porządku.
Tolle Villa mit viel Platz; das Mobiliar ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Der Blick aufs Meer ist unglaublich.
Nichts
Vistas espectaculares!
The location to the natural swimming pools and the view of the ocean including sunsets. Walking distance to restaurants. Apartment was very clean and spacious. Equipped with coffee and beautiful flowers and bottle of champagne upon arrival.
Nothing. We were very happy with the accommodations.
Mooi huis, ruim, goede matrassen, 2 badkamers, mooie ligging, veel handdoeken. Prachtige omgeving, authentieke sfeer.. voelde lyxueus overal airco, mooi terras
Slechte ventilatie in badkamer zodat het vocht van de muur droop.. te weinig keukenhanddoeken ( slechts 1). . Geen wasmachine, maar in het dorp op 5 min lopen 8s er een wasserette.. Uitkijken voor brand: plastieken bestekschuif onder kookplaat wordt heel warm , dus best openzetten tijdens het koken. Stoelen op terras waren nier comfortabel.
Muy buena ubicación, la mejor zona de la isla. Cerca de varios puntos de interés, tranquilo y con vistas
Casa grande para una estancia larga pero había algo de descuido de las instalaciones. Persiana rota que no podía bajarse para evitar la luz con el descanso (casa 2 habitación pequeña)
Nos encantó la ubicación, la villa es muy amplia y cómoda. Es muy bonita y tiene todos los servicios necesarios para pasar unos días . Volveríamos sin duda!!
Nos gustó todo.
We stayed 2 nights first in Villas do Mar house 10 in front of the sea, total view. Fajã Grande is an amazing location, we heard the sea from the house and the view and natural swimming pools in front stunning with the lava fields. Then we were 1 night at Aldeia da Cuada, from the same family business and totally different concept, also great. Then 1 night back at Villas de Mar with house 4 with partial views, not the same full experience. Stay at the front row houses.
None of the Villas do Mar houses had clean windows, they were messy and dirty. There are stunning views and you need to see those imperfect windows?
La casa è in una postazione stupenda dell’isola con una vista mozzafiato. Gli arredi sono molto belli e le stanze spaziose. La presenza del camino nel salotto e la griglia nel terrazzo sono un plus molto gradito. Corrisponde esattamente alle foto. Il personale molto gentile e disponibile. Tornerei sicuramente qui.
Essendo una struttura deluxe alcuni accorgimenti potrebbero migliorare il soggiorno: condimenti di base in cucina, detersivi per stoviglie e lavastoviglie, spugne. La griglia per il barbecue era arrugginita. La vasca era intasata nonostante l’intervento dell’ idraulico.
Stunning views, best location, amazing apartment.
Minor issue with plug in one bathroom
Localização excelente, paisagem linda, próximo do centro da vila, com bares, restaurantes, piscinas naturais. Tudo muito bonito! O anfitrião veio logo resolver um pequeno problema, super atenciosos. Apartamento bem equipado e com bom gosto!
Isolamento da luz nos quartos poderia ser melhor, mas compreendo que com a maresia todos os materiais metálicos se degradem depressa, como por exemplo os estores. De resto tudo impecável!
Es un dúplex amplio y cómodo con vistas al mar. A 2 minutos hay un bar enano, del camping que hay al lado, por si no quieres ni hacerte el desayuno, aunque es un poco cutre. Al centro del pueblo son 5 minutos andando.
zeer ruim appartement, met fantastich uitzicht op de oceaan
nvt
De locatie in Faja Grande met uitzicht op de oceaan is top! Het is er heerlijk rustig (als er geen groepsreis verblijft die half 7 ‘s morgens met veel herrie vertrekt). Het appartement is zeer ruim en de matrassen lagen heerlijk. Ook de airco’s werkten prima! Eigen parkeerplaats voor het huis is ook fijn. En als gaat mag je gebruik maken van het zwembad in het andere resort (waar je ook je sleutel ophaalt). Dat zwembad was heerlijk!!
Kon schoner…veel lange donkere haren op de vloeren. De bank zag er echt vies uit met veel vlekken, die is echt aan vervanging toe. Geen olie en zout in de keuken, dat lijkt me toch een kleine moeite. Dat wil je echt niet zelf moeten kopen als je een paar dagen verblijft. Rolluiken in de slaapkamers sloten niet goed. 1 was zelfs half afgebroken. Hier hebben we een handdoek tussen het raam gedaan om het donker te maken, want was ook pal onder een straatlantaarn.
Riesengroßes Appartment mit toller Ausstattung, zwei Schlafzimmern und drei Badezimmern. Großartiger Blick aufs Meer mit schönem Sonnenuntergang, Ausstattung Küche, Blick auf Wasserfälle
nichts
Da localização, da limpeza. Da cozinha. Do mar.
Dos amortecedores de abertura para portas no chão no meio da casa de banho.
La amplitud y comodidad del apartamento con dos plantas muy grandes. Ubicación perfecta, a escasos metros del mar y de la cascada de Bacalahau. Desde la propia terraza se contempla el mar y la tranquilidad del paisaje. El personal de recepción muy amable nos dejó bañarnos en la piscina del hotel rural que también tienen los dueños a unos 10 minutos en coche en otra zona de la isla.
Había muchas hormigas en una de las habitaciones. El agua caliente de una de las duchas no funcionaba bien.
Locatie is super, met schitterende zonsondergangen! Voldoende ruimtes in het appartement, voldoende handdoeken, airco en een mooie keuken. Afwerking binnen kan iets verfijnder, maar alles is aanwezig. Enig minpunt aan de locatie in Faja Grande is dat je geen uitgebreide boodschappen kunt doen. Het minimale is te koop bij 2 kleine supermarktjes, maar dan ook echt het minimale. Een verse maaltijd koken is een uitdaging... Let op: de supermarkt met vers brood is open van 7 tot 12 uur!
מיקום,חניה
כדניכנסנו ריל דל אקנומיקה חזק החדרים למטרה מרגיש קלסטרפוביה מקלחת אין חלון מחניק ברמות לא אהבתי
Great location with ocean views. Clean and spacious apartment. The property has a balcony, so you can enjoy breakfast with a great view or watch the sunset.
Super comfortable and spacious villas just above the mountain and the waterfalls! We had a great time :)
The view to the ocean The size of the villa The location We also really liked the hotel that own the villas. The hot pool is amazing, and the restaurant is great!
I think it needs higher maintanence cause its next to the sea, and some reinovation cause its a little too old.
This apartment might have been one of my favorite on this trip. The views out the window were fantastic and it is a short walk to the sea and to the little shack selling food that is visible from the apartment. There is a quiet vibe here despite having many neighbors. I absolutely loved this place. Small kitchen, nice living room. The rooms downstairs are great. We even had 2 separate bedrooms.
Die Lage ist super, das Haus ist groß und gut ausgestattet. Vor allem der direkte Blick aufs Meer hat uns gefallen.
Obwohl die Häuser noch nicht sehr alt zu sein scheinen, gibt es schon deutliche Abnutzungsspuren. Vor allem die Fenster schließen sehr schlecht.
La amplitud y la situación y vistas
Muchos escalones Le falta lavadora y lavavajillas
Great location, clean, modern, nice bathrooms. Shared front desk with Aldeia do Cuada which provided access to a pool and luggage set up Ample nespresso pods
I would just recommend stocking up in Santa Cruz as limited grocery in Faja Grande
Localização
Falta de contacto com staff, não houve acompanhamento durante a nossa estadia
El entorno espectacular
Casa moderna, ampla, sala com vista deslumbrante para o mar. Quartos grandes. Espaço para estacionamento. Na varanda da cozinha, com vista para cascatas.
Die Villas do Mar Reihenhäuser liegen direkt in Strandnähe in Faja Grande. Wir waren in einem Apartment in der ersten Reihe und hatten direkte Sicht auf die Küste. Die Insel Flores ist nicht so groß - von Faja Grande aus kann man alles, was man ansehen will, schnell erreichen.
Es gab bei unserem Aufenthalt schlechtes Wetter. Statt fünf Tage sind wir 13 Tage auf der Insel fest gesessen. SATA Acores hat es nicht geschafft uns rascher auszufliegen. Die sind sehr unorganisiert. Aber dafür kann die Unterkunft ja nichts ...
Vue depuis l'appartement
Juste une petite remarque : il serait intéressant de positionner une étagère ou un petit meuble de rangement dans la salle de douche car il n'y a pas d'endroit où poser les affaire de toilette ou de maquillage alors que l'autre salle de bain dispose d'espaces bien adaptés. Merci de votre attention
Views awesome. Cleaning staff exceptional. Good food at near by restaurants, super friendly. Off season has barely any people, not busy at all. Fog makes for a very cinematic view. If you like cats, they are all around the viliage and super friendly.
There is nothing here that we disliked.
Love the location, Love the cleanliness, Cleaning crew is exceptional. The one reception lady was very pleasant to deal with.
Not much to not like, one of the reception ladies was a little rude to me and my wife. Maybe just a little off putting, either way, not very friendly.
Amazing location and very large 2 story apartment with seaviews or partial seaviews. Accommodation was kind enough to cancel 1 night without penalty due to canceled flight to Azores.
Maison propre agréable et spacieuse.
Les vitres n'étaient pas propres certainement à cause des embruns !
- top lage - freundliches, hilfsbereites und bemühtes Service - mitbenutzung des Pools - gute kommunikation
- leider Schimmel in unserem Appartment und mit dem Putzmittel zu gut gemeint.
Lage, Ausstattung, freundlicher Empfang
Lange Dauer, bis Dusche heisses Wasser hatte
Ein sehr gut ausgestattetes Reihenhaus mit genialem Blick f das Meer. Ein eigener Parkplatz ist direkt vor jedem der Häuser. Wir waren nur zu zweit hier, allerdings ist das Haus mit zwei Schlafzimmern, zwei Badezimmern und einem zusätzlichen WC auch für vier Personen komfortabel nutzbar. Aufgrund eines ausgefallenen Fluges konnten wir hier leider nur eine Nacht verbringen.
In den Schlafzimmern waren die Jalousien defekt und ließen sich nicht schließen. Wir haben uns mit Handtüchern geholfen, die wir in das Fenster geklemmt haben.
The location was perfect for exploring the island. There was also a great view of the ocean with beautiful sunsets.
It isn't so much that I didn't like something but I think it would have been nice if there were a few basics included like paper towels or napkins, some salt and pepper, some olive oil. We were hiking every day and it would have been nice to have a small broom. As careful as we were to immediately take our shoes off when we entered or outside there was still some direct that got in.
The villa was beautiful. We loved the view and scenery. Everything was perfect. Reception when we arrived was lovely. We would highly recommend your villa. Staff was quick to answer questions.
The blow dryer cords are way too short and hard to blow dry when I have to hold my thumb hard on the button to keep it on. The main bathroom blow dryer sounds broken. Too loud.
Localização, staff simpático
Tout
Sehr schöne, große und sehr gut ausgestattete Unterkunft. Wir haben und sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Lage ist toll, um die Insel zu erkunden. Ein Wasserfall und das Meer sind fußläufig erreichbar. Klare Empfehlung für einen Aufenthalt auf Flores!
Nous avons occupé la villa 10, 2 chambres vue mer. L'emplacement est très pratique pour visiter l'île et la vue mer est exceptionnelle. L équipement de la maison est très complet et l ensemble est spacieux.
Les vitres sales Le temps d attente pour avoir de l eau chaude aux robinets.
Prachtige locatie met zonsondergang, zeer ruime villa met alles erop en eraan; meerdere slaapkamers, meerdere badkamers, balkon met uitzicht op zee!! Snelle en vriendelijke service via WhatsApp met Fabiana!
Het duurde even voordat we warm water hadden in de douche. Het voelde soms ook wat koud en vochtig.
Excellent location. Very spacious & clean. Very responsive off-site host via what’s app. Overall, kitchen was excellent and had good variety of pots & utensils. We stayed here twice and loved it! We were sad to leave.
No laundry. Nonstick pans in #1 are very ripped up and need to be replaced. WiFi doesn’t work downstairs. Kitchen doesn’t come with oil and basic spices like salt & pepper.
Sauber geräumig neuwertig
Türstopper sind Verletzungsgefahr.
Excellent location. Helpful staff. Giant kitchen but no basic oil or spices provided. Very spacious rooms. Quiet. Comfy beds.
WiFi doesn’t work downstairs. No laundry.
Bem localizado. Excelente apartamento: espaçoso, luminoso e bem equipado.
Close to natural pools and good Resturant
Picture don’t represent the real property, I was given apartment in second row so no view from there, also glass windows very dirty and driveway also had litter.
Tudo ótimo, estacionamento, vista, limpeza e casa em ótimas condições
Havia alguns sinais de uso na casa principalmente nas paredes, como pequenos buracos e arranhados mas nada que uma pintura não resolva
It was the best place I’ve been at so far. Cozy, comfy, perfect for writing retreat and with terrace with view to the sea.
De airconditioning was in alle kamers goed. Het huis was heel ruim en goed ingericht. We hebben ervan genoten. Er zijn twee badkamers, goede douches en wat erg luxe is en nog een toilet boven. De nespresso apparatuur was voorzien van voldoende cups voor ons gebruik.
Dat de niet alle rolluiken bij de slaapkamers goed functioneerden. Verder was alles prima.
Localização, espaço, limpeza, gentileza dos funcionarios.
A localização e limpeza.
Nada a apontar.
Petit déjeuner exceptionnel à Aldeia da cuada
Tout était parfait
El alojamiento tiene mucha luz natural, es espacioso y está bastante nuevo. La cocina y los baños están muy bien equipados. Aunque nosotros no cocinamos, porque en Aldeia da Cuadra se come fenomenal. Las personas que lo llevan te atienden rápidamente y puedes consultarles cualquier tema sin problema.
Necesita un poquito de ventilación porque huele un poco a humedad (pero nada grave)
Muito limpo, novo
The location is perfect, the views are great and full equiped. The staff was very helpful at all times.
The only little thing was a narrow blind which was stuck in one of the bedrooms
Localização espetacular e espaço do apartamento.
Falta de mantas ou cobertores. De noite faz um pouco de frio na casa. Só mesmo com os A/C ligados para aquecer o ambiente. Certos materiais (janelas e estores) já estão com uns anos de uso e algo perros. Mas foi uma estadia satisfatória
Todo ha estado perfecto. Me volveria a alojar en este lugar. Es un sitio muy comodo y con unas vistas espectaculares. Ademas creo que Faja Grande es el mejor lugar de la isla para alojarse
Nada, todo estuvo correcto
The villa was very well located with a beautiful sea view. The check-in and service was really good too! I recommend splurging on the first row of villas for the best view.
It was a bit humid inside
Es amplio, tiene de todo incluida plaza de parking y terrazas para ver el atardecer.
Creemos que la humedad ha podido deteriorar bastante el mobiliario ya que por otra parte se ve nuevo.
- the view of the ocean from the balcony was amazing (especially because you can see sunsets from there); - the villa is huge and has everything you need; - Faja Grande is a very beautiful village and close to some interest points; - easy check-in process;
- one of the rooms had very high humidity, and water drops would form on the windows and floors; tried using the AC to remove humidity, but it did not work; the rest of the house was ok.
The best of the best. Definitely well recommended. Awesome location with stunning views
Absolutely nothing
Es una casa, súper grande, con unas vistas espectaculares en una zona muy tranquila
Ruimte is groot
Airco snapten we niet of deed het niet En voor die prijs hadden we een droger en wasmachine verwacht
Very spacious apartment, right next to the sea. Also, the location in Faja Grande is perfect for exploring Flores.
The only downside I would say is if you don't have the sea-view apartment, the front windows face directly the apartments before you, so it's lacking a bit of privacy, but there are of course window shades.
Great locaton. Very helpful staff. Great view.
Kapitalne apartamenty nad samym Oceanem w cudowanej miejscowości Faja Grande. Najpiękniejsza część najpiękniejszej wyspy Azorów. Apartamenty duze. Czyste. Nasz byl z widokiem na Ocean. Absolutnie polecam!
Nie mam żadnych uwag negatywnych. Parking na wyjeździe do apartamentu.
We spent 6 days and enjoyed the villa very much. Beautiful view (2nd raw, last villa from the left), very spacious and bright, comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen. Great staff.
There was a smell problem that the staff made an efford to solve and succeeded.
Große Ferienwohnung direkt am Meer. Die Küche ist voll ausgestattet. Es war sauber und modern eingerichtet. Die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern war problemlos. Jedes Apartment hat sogar einen eigenen Grillplatz. Wir bestimmt nochmal im Sommer wieder. ;)
Lugar increíble y un apartamento lujoso con todo tipo de comodidades. El único pero, que sólo estuve una noche. Dan ganas de vivir allí.
The apartment is huge and directly facing the sea which is indeed wonderful. Few restaurants are near by and the important spots to visit are not far away.
There was no wash machine nor dishwasher. these are very essential to complete the apartment. Some flies were found and some of the furniture need maintenance.
