You can stay with us

Under our house we have a modest but well equipped apartment for 4 (max. 6 beds) guests. It is a quiet location with the fantastic view you see above; over the valley and the ocean.

There is no dishwasher and because it is not intended for long-term habitation there is no washing machine, we are however open to discussing options to meet your needs.

The garden with different levels and a fire-pit are at your disposal. There is an outside seating area to enjoy the view in the morning sun.

For your convenience, we strongly suggest renting a car. While shops and beaches are within reach, having your own transportation is especially helpful due to the area's hilly terrain.

The house is located in a suburban area, surrounded by meadows with cows, goats and sheep. Sound and (sometimes the smell) of the animals are part of this😉

Activities

(prices are indicative and / or can be changed)

"Nice such a small island, but you've seen it all in no time", well there's plenty to see...

1. Whale / dolphin watching, usually a morning or afternoon, depending on the weather, carrier and of course whether animals have been spotted. From approx. €70,- p.p.
   


2. Levada's walk, enjoy a beautiful 7+ km walk from point A to point B, winding through lush forests and open fields. These historic canals, originally designed to collect rainwater, offer a mostly level path. While the terrain is generally easy, there are a few low walls to navigate and a slightly more challenging section in the middle due to erosion. We suggest three options:
   • A to midpoint and back
   • B to midpoint and back
   • The full A to B (or B to A) route.

   For the full route, we can arrange return transport to your starting point (depending on group size).



3. Botanical garden. You can spend half an hour or a few hours, it's all up to you. Costs a few euros entrance.
