35th Atlantic View

"Really this is a 3.5* review. This is a good choice that has the potential to be great. The owners need to figure out what they want this place to be and plan accordingly. The area is really nice. It's out of the way without being too remote. There is an easy to use parking area just off the road. We had a second floor sea view room. The room itself was nice. There were however some flaws. There was little ventilation with the doors closed. Also, when it rained, water seemed to leak in through every door and window, making it impossible to feel dry. My number one complaint is that there was no fridge in the room. Pico makes some of the best white wines in the world, and to have a balcony with an ocean view makes sipping wine the most natural pastime. The fact that there's nowhere to chill wine is inexplicable. I can understand not wanting to promote a party atmosphere, but I consider access to a fridge to be a basic requirement. The breakfast was fine, but bordered on basic. Perhaps another fresh element would elevate it. There are some fine restaurants nearby and a good grocery store only five minutes drive away. Truthfully, I would stay here again, but I think the owners are missing a golden opportunity to create something sensational."

"The accommodation was even more beautiful than on the photos. Nicely equipped, clean house, with a pool and a stunning view! The host was very helpful and kind. The perfect place for a quiet holiday on the Azores - only a walk away from the natural pool by the sea."

"Beautiful location. Rustic. Clean. Spacious room. With both a bedroom and large sitting room. Our room was ocean facing. Listened to the sound of crashing waves and gentle blowing breeze at night. Very quiet with windows shut. We ate at the restaurant 2 evenings and had great meals and desserts. Great mattresses. Nice hot shower. Good breakfast. Overall quiet."
