Wir haben die Zeit im schönsten Ort der Insel, Faja Grande, sehr genossen. Netter Gastgeber, Natur pur. Abends mit dem Konzert der Gelbschnabel-Sturmtaucher, ein tollen Erlebnis.
Wir haben 4 schöne Tage in Fajã Grande verbracht.
Die Unterkunft ist, wie auch in der Anzeige beschrieben, nicht sehr groß und etwas beengt. Vom oberen Freisitz hat man einen schönen Ausblick über Fajã Grande.
Wenn man sich in einem traditionellen, kleinen, liebevoll eingerichteten Basalthaus mit hübschen Garten wohlfühlt und abends einen kurzen Weg zum Strand mag, um den Sonnenuntergang zu genießen, ist man hier bestens aufgehoben und kann die Zeit vergessen.
Bonheur pour un séjour dans une ile remarquable, pour un logement idéalement situé pour visiter l'île et randonner, très bien agencé. En prime accueil super sympa du propriétaire
La maison de Neil est toute petite, mais si mignonne... rangements, équipements, produits de première nécessité... rien ne manque et tout est parfaitement pensé.
Le jardin, magnifique, invite à la détente.
Bref... on s'y sent bien et on n'a qu'une envie : revenir !

Sehr schön gelegenes kleines Haus im Garten...ruhig gelegen. Das HAus ist komplett und sehr liebevoll eingerichtet, es fehlt an nichts. Neil, der Vermieter war jederzeit ansprechbar für Fragen und Wünsche. Wir können das Haus nur empfehlen.
Auf jeden Fall werden wir wieder kommen...

Charming place on a charming island
Having spent a few days in O Palheiro I may only confirm that it is a perfect place to stay in when exploring Flores island. It's comfortable, well designed, located on the more convenient site of the island, and Neil and Carol are always helpful with plenty of local knowledge. Recommended for sure!

Your own paradise...
We`ve stayed at this place for 4 days only but it`s enough to fall in love with it. In spite of weather surprises we get used to wake up with birds singing and enjoy breakfast in our private garden (thanks to Carol - it looked just amazing).
Cottage has everything for staying 2 persons and Neil and his wife were very friendly and helpful. I`ll be happy to come back to the same place again!
