Beautiful , unique and still traditional!
Pros: The location was exceptional for someone who prefer to travel and stay always outside of city’s and far from crowded places. The owner left us a beautiful hamper basket with traditional products, really great touch and we truly appreciated. BBQ, swimming pool and other facilities present around, easy access to all of them and easy access to other local attractions. The house was clean and with everything you needed. Amazing views, privacy, there is no much access to front of the house. There was hair dryer and even a hair straightener. Little cleaning kits, toothbrush, etc. and even a small comb. We were surprised that we have even been left 2 beach towels as well as 2 bathrobes. It has washing and drying facilities, a little laundry room attached to the house. We had everything we needed it and even more.

Pros: Lovely, spacious, modern and clean houses. Very quiet surroundings. Close to the sea (by car) and to Rabacal where you can start your hiking. Big terrace. We loved the place. The pool is indoor, which is very good - see below
Cons: It is not about the place, which itself is perfect but bear in mind that the place is 850 metres a.s.l. That means that there is at least 4-5 degrees below the temperature at the sea. And sometimes you are literally seating on the terrace in the middle of the cloud (see my pictures) Again - it is nothing against the place - it is absolutely perfect and the indoor pool helps (otherwise it would be kind of difficult to swim when outside temperature was e.g. 18 degrees) and maybe it was the specific weather we had during our stay (third week of August) but I think it is just good to know that it is not the seaside location for the heat and sun lovers 🙂 If you are not one of them and want to spend your holiday in a lovely house - do not hesitate to book.

Beautiful cottages, clean and you have everything you need!
Pros: The property is located on top of the clouds 😁 you wake up with the best views and are surrounded by tranquility, we looked forward to returning to the place every night after a busy day of exploring to settle in and have a glass of wine with the view and peacefulness:) also you are super close to one of the best trails on the island! The kids loved the indoor pool, since you are a bit higher up, the temperature go down a bit so indoor pool was perfect for the early morning or late evening swims before or after we have return home.
Cons: We liked everything, but be prepared to not be in the centre of everything- quite the opposite. But we loved that part!

Very relaxing in well appointed accommodation with a great host.
Pros: Garry was a great communicator both before and during the stay. The accommodation was clean, spacious and well appointed.
Cons: I should have taken up Garry's offer to meet somewhere en-route to the property on arrival - Google Maps had a bad opinion on the right 'road' to take! Not Garry's fault at all, but a warning not to trust Google Maps would be welcome.

A stay that exceeded our expectations!
Pros: We had a wonderful stay at Rochão Village. The accommodation is nestled in the hills, offering beautiful views and complete privacy. It’s the perfect place to disconnect from daily life. The apartment was very clean and fully equipped—there was nothing we missed during our stay. Catarina, the host, was incredibly helpful throughout and made us feel special. Thank you so much; we will definitely be back!
Cons: There is a beautiful pool, though the only downside is that it isn’t heated—so on cooler autumn days, we didn’t use it as much.
