Pre arrival, communication with Ana was prompt and clear, even providing details of a supermarket to call at near the airport. Ana was flexible with check in time, and Francisco was at the meeting point to guide us to the property. The first time you go there, it can be a little daunting in a small hire car, but you get used to it.

The house was clean and had everything you would need. The one thing it didn't have ( a kettle), appeared an hour after mentioning it to Ana - thank you.

Ana provided tips about places to visit and places to eat and events worth going to that were taking place.

Although off the beaten track, it is near enough to all 'the sights' although you do need a car. A two minute walk to the swimming area and a five minute walk back (uphill).

Great WIFI (better than the UK), hammock that you couldn't get teenage children out of within range of the WiFi.

All was as described in the description on the website, but what made the place special was Ana's hospitality and flexibility, giving us gorgeous grapes from her garden, taking us to her family's farm to see banana trees (we don't have them in the UK), and taking time to chat about the Azores and the issues they face.

Thank you to Ana and Francisco for a great time and great hospitality.
