Featuring a garden with a barbecue, Casa Tradicional da Vila is a detached holiday home located in Vila Franca do Campo. The property is 5 km from Lagoa do Congro and boasts views of the mountains.
„Vila Franca was a great location and so was the house within it. The town is very central, so nothing was more than an hour's drive and most places were closer to 30 mins - plus its very easy to get to the motorway from the house (and you can't hear any traffic noise from it). Within the town, the house is also a short walking distance to a very nice beach and large super market. The town itself doesn't have much of a night life, but this didn't matter to us (and we did find one bar).
The house is really lovely - all of the kitchen equipment, towels and linen etc. you need (we did a lot of cooking), very spacious and nicely presented, and a wonderful (and again large) garden. What is great is that it feels like you are staying in someone's house rather than rented holiday accommodation- it has personality rather than being like a soulless hotel.
The parking was very easy - space to park on the street either directly outside or a short distance up the road. There is also a really nice view down to the sea from one of the bedrooms. Although there isn't any central heating, there is a well stocked fire place and plenty of blankets - we used the blankets but it never got cold enough for the fire as the temperature is very mild even in October.
The highlight was how kind and accommodating Duarte and his family are - they waited at the house to give us the keys and show us around, even though our flight was very late and we didn't get there until past midnight. They also left us a hamper of Azorean specialities, so we had some food for breakfast and could sample some local foods we may not have discovered by ourselves, which were all delicious.
I would definitely stay here again if I returned to the Azores and could not recommend it more to others looking to visit.”
