The property and views are just as described. The house was clean and very inviting. The attention to detail shows in the warm feeling you get when you walk in. The host was helpful in every way. My family and I really loved staying at this property. ##### Margot M. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Meghan M. 11 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Marco was a truly exceptional host, warm and attentive, with a wealth of fantastic recommendations that made our stay unforgettable. The house itself was even lovelier than the photographs suggested—bright, airy, and perfectly positioned to take in sweeping views of the ocean. Each morning, we lingered over coffee as the waves shimmered in the sunlight, and each evening we savored a glass of wine while watching the sky melt into shades of pink and gold.Within just a few minutes’ walk, we found an abundance of excellent restaurants serving fresh, local flavors. Snorkeling, diving, and kayaking were all conveniently nearby, making it easy to fill our days with adventure. The community’s warmth made us feel instantly at home, and the charming local market just a block away—brimming with fresh produce, cheeses, and baked goods—is not to be missed. Vila Franca do Campo was everything we hoped for and more. ##### Meghan M.

The home is located in Vila Franca do Campo which we much preferred to the larger and more crowded Ponta Delgada. The two balconies provided outstanding views of the island just off the coast. Check-in was seamless as Carlos was waiting for us. Highly recommend it and we were sad to have to leave. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/51430d2e-33fb-4f61-a181-d8d6556def12-1750618381110.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### David K.
