to get started.

Location was excellent and staff was very helpful. A unique experience living in a re-created village home of many years ago. Onsite restaurant was very convenient.

The house provided a unique experience of local cutture and authenticity. The food at the restaurant was great, especially breakfasts, which included a large variety of food items. The staff was fabulous, and when we had a minor problem with a showerhead, they replaced it immediately.

Deborah

United States of America

Since Cuada is usually fully booked months in advance, we ended up staying in 4 different houses during our 7 nights in the island. We loved all of them. The whole property is set up in a perfect environment, you almost feel detached from the rest of the world. I found it to be the perfect place to disconnect! Regarding the breakfast, it didn't offer a huge variety but it had more than enough, all local products and all delicious. Never got tired of it. We had dinner twice at the restaurant and it was probably the best meals we had in the whole island. Definitely would come back.

Location and setting were wonderful, and the house was clean and charming. Staff was exceptionally accommodating and helpful, including Silvio in reception, and Martha and Margarite in the restaurant. We did not eat breakfast in the restaurant, but had several dinners and lunches there and found the food to be very good. We especially liked the grilled chicken salad and the Mora fish, as well as the yummy ice cream.

The property is an adorable village that has been restored. Each home is named after the last residents. It is especially convenient that a nice restaurant is located on the property.

I liked the rural setting. The owners did an excellent job keeping the traditional look and feel of the village. It reminded me of my grandparent's homes.

The property and all of its stone buildings and outstanding flowers was spectacular! It was such a treat for me as I’m an amateur photographer. The staff was so kind and helpful with anything we needed. It was a wonderful welcome! This was one of our last stops in the Azores and having experienced all of the other very stiff beds it was such a wonderful treat to have such a comfortable bed to sleep on after a day of exploring. I loved every bit of it! Thank you so very much!

“Overall, an enjoyable stay. Great history and cultural significance.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
Being fairly isolated in an already isolated island, one understands that all amenities may not be available. It would be greatly beneficial if wireless internet was installed in all the rooms in the future. Not having television or internet access outside of the welcoming center can be a bit rough, especially on days like my stay where it was raining really hard and not much could be done outside.
The property reception was very courteous and welcoming. Even though it was pouring rain during my stay, they still helped me with my luggage and took the time to personally show me to my room. They showed me my accomodation and suggested places for food and recreation.

Ants everywhere in the kitchen. I'm not sure anything could've been done about this as it's a rural place where these sorts of things happen! Unfortunately it just made us a little uncomfortable cooking and eating in our room.
Lots of character, lovely restaurant(if a little pricey) with brilliant staff, very close to beautiful waterfalls, comfy beds. A quirky stay!

Unfortunately, living in an old time village home provides a minimum of amenities. Little heat, cramped bath (slightly smelly), no closets, and extremely rough stone paths between buildings.
Location was excellent and staff was very helpful. A unique experience living in a re-created village home of many years ago. Onsite restaurant was very convenient.

Before describing the place, the most important thing to me is the amazing staff who are always attentive, helpful, explain and solve any problem A unique place. An abandoned local village purchased by the owner, while maintaining the village character and the environment Breakfast is OK, simple. Dinner is great!!! The restaurant is comfortable and the outdoor terrace overlooks the view, where you can also eat - amazing The place is suitable for nature lovers, away from the hustle and bustle

“Authentic place”
- • Leisure trip
- • Travelers with friends
- • Stayed 1 night

There are many insects: flies, caterpillars, bugs, and no one warned us about them. Woman who welcomed us at the apartment saw the bug herself, but didn’t offer another apartment. And we didn’t knew it would became worse, otherwise we would ask to switch it. At night it started to rain and an army of black caterpillars entered the house through the door and windows slots. We were fighting them half of the night and almost didn’t sleep. And my friend was genuinely afraid of them: for her it was quite a nightmare. I gave the feedback to the personnel in the morning, but they didn’t offer any compensation.
Very nice location: near the ocean and at the same place as the old village. Makes you feel like the old times. I liked many of authentic stuff in the house: carpets, decorations.
