Great

We enjoyed our stay. It is a great place, also with a baby. The big garden and the lovely animals are perfect for a more lazy day or afternoon but it is also a great central place to discover the island.

Super shöne Ferienwohnung

Wir können die Ferienwohnung nur empfehlen, es ist alles da was man braucht (selbst Fliegengitter an den Fenstern), alles ist super sauber und funktional eingerichtet. Marion und Dieter sind exzellente Gastgeber, man kann sie immer bei Fragen und Tipps fragen und bekommt immer eine sehr kompetente und hilfreiche Auskunft. Marion hat für uns auch den Ersteinkauf erledigt, sodass man auch entspannt anreisen kann (nochmal Danke hierfür). Die Anlage ist superschön angelegt und läd zum Verweilen ein. Unsere Tochter war auch ganz begeistert von den braven Hunden :-). Nicht zu vergessen der kleine Kiosk mit gekühlten Getränken / Marmelade und eigenen Eiern runden den sehr guten Eindruck ab (man hat sogar die Möglichkeit Wäsche zu waschen)

Wunderbarer Ort zum "Runterkommen"

Wir haben 2 herrliche Wochen auf der schönen Quinta Velha verlebt, den Pool, den Blick vom Balkon in die Berge und vom Hochsitz auf die Atlantikküste von Ribeira Grande genossen, die Tiere gestreichelt und es uns gutgehen lassen. Lediglich zu warm war es uns, vor allem auch nachts - beim nächsten Mal kommen wir nicht im August. Noch nie haben wir irgendwo so viele tolle Tipps bekommen wie von Marion und Dieter! Ein Mietwagen ist sehr empfehlenswert und das Spielen von Kindern im Garten muss man tolerieren, was aber für uns kein Problem war. Insgesamt finden wir diese Unterkunft sehr empfehlenswert.

Herzliche Gastfreundschaft in einem grünen Paradies

schöne Zeit genossen, nah an der Küste, nah bei den Bergen und beim Thermalwasser. Wir hatten im Apartment alles was wir brauchten und noch viel mehr: ein kleiner Verkaufs- und Aufenthaltsraum mit Bier im Kühlfach, selbstgemachten Konfitüren, Eier der glücklichen Hühner auf dem Hof. Marion hat ein offenes Ohr für alle Themen, hat für uns sogar den Anfangseinkauf im Supermarkt erledigt und ist eine große Unterstützung bei der Tourplanung mit vielen praktisch und gastronomischen Tipps.

Lovely apartment with gorgeous vistas

Our hostess Marion could not have been more warm, genuine, cheerful and welcoming. The cows next door, the friendly cats and dogs, the garden flowers, views of the mountains and sound of the surf combine to make a truly relaxing base camp from which to explore the island. Marion had excellent recommendations for food and activities. What a pleasure!! We highly recommend.
