Kleines Häuschen in schönem Garten
Wir haben die Zeit im schönsten Ort der Insel, Faja Grande, sehr genossen. Netter Gastgeber, Natur pur. Abends mit dem Konzert der Gelbschnabel-Sturmtaucher, ein tollen Erlebnis.

Schöner Aufenthalt in Fajã Grande
Wir haben 4 schöne Tage in Fajã Grande verbracht. Die Unterkunft ist, wie auch in der Anzeige beschrieben, nicht sehr groß und etwas beengt. Vom oberen Freisitz hat man einen schönen Ausblick über Fajã Grande.

Perfekte Unterkunft für Wanderer und Genießer
Wenn man sich in einem traditionellen, kleinen, liebevoll eingerichteten Basalthaus mit hübschen Garten wohlfühlt und abends einen kurzen Weg zum Strand mag, um den Sonnenuntergang zu genießen, ist man hier bestens aufgehoben und kann die Zeit vergessen.

Une bulle de verdure
La maison de Neil est toute petite, mais si mignonne... rangements, équipements, produits de première nécessité... rien ne manque et tout est parfaitement pensé. Le jardin, magnifique, invite à la détente. Bref... on s'y sent bien et on n'a qu'une envie : revenir !
