Challet Miradouro do Vale

Lovely quirky house which we really enjoyed staying in. A real 1970s vibe but very relaxing. Great views, lots of birds and you are surrounded by trees. Close proximity to hot springs and a mini-market. Joao is very nice.

If you expect a pristine property with all mod cons this is not the property for you. The walk up from the mini-market is also very steep so you need a base level of fitness.

The view was to die for. It was such a lovely home…so comfortable and so well designed.

Nothing. It had everything we needed and more.

Charming chalet tucked away in the mountains. It was very spacious and lots of room for our family of 6. Loved the balcony with a view of the Furnas. Jaōa the owner is very kind and brings us fresh bread every day!

Everything is great. The chalet was built a long time ago - so just know that for example two people cannot shower at the same time. The exterior might look a little run down but inside it’s been renovated and is bright. Also would help to have a sign with the name of chalet or the house number. It was tricky to find.

El sitio era increíble, con unas vistas sobre el pueblo únicas y sobre todo esto, Joao fue muy amable y atento durante toda la estancia.

De locatie, prachtig! Gastvrij ontvangst en ook gedurende verblijf was de gastheer echt top!

De hygiëne, het meubilair, de bedden, hoeveelheid servies, de vochtigheid in het huis, slecht warm te krijgen met kachel, en door dat er alleen een kachel is heb je continu een haard geur in het huis. Er zijn 2 badkamers maar het is niet mogelijk om deze te gelijk te gebruiken

Огромна къща със страхотна гледка. Много приятно място за отсядане в типичен за района стил. Всяка сутрин ни оставяха пресех хляб на вратата. Домакина е много вежлив и усмихнат, съдейства ни за всичко, от което имахме нужда, дори ни беше освавил комплимент с вино и местна храна. Препоръчвам!

1. View from the property overlooking Furnas - incredible 2. Spacious, 2 double bedrooms, another bedroom with 2 single beds, 2 bathrooms and living room and kitchen was large enough for the 4 of us. Also the outside area is great to have some dinner (weather permitting). 3. Joao was a really likeable man, he delivered 4 fresh bread rolls to us each day which was really lovely 4. Apartment literally a 5 min walk to Poça Do Dona Beija and 10 mins to Spar Supermarket to get essentials, 15 mins from another local shop in the centre near the fuel station. Also close to Terra Nostra Gardens and Grena Park and Furnas Lagoon. 5. A lot of walks close by in Furnas 6. Staying in Furnas and hiring a car gives you a chance to drive to all the best places - Sete Cidades being the furthest which still only took 45 minutes. - so Location of apartment is great.

1. Towels - we ran out of fresh towels quite quickly but just re-washed ours so not a big deal 2. Coffee - there is a coffee machine in the kitchen but there were not many pods so we bought more pods (which are more expensive than instant coffee) but again not a big deal 3. The apartment can get quite cold even with the open lit fire 🔥 up and burning. Having the fire on was lively to watch, as it’s very relaxing to see and the living room does get very warm, we just found the bedrooms were still quite cold but again this did not put a negative spin on our stay. 4. We cooked most evenings and sometimes found the cutlery, bowls and other cooking essentials sometimes a bit sparse, but again we made do with what we had available to use and still were able to cook in the evenings. We use the local shops to get herbs/spices etc. All of the above did not impact our stay to the point where we did not enjoy the apartment because speaking honestly, we really loved the apartment and would stay again, we just think it needs a bit of TLC in some areas. Also one last thing to add - the cupboards in the kitchen are very high up, so if your 5ft (like my partner) you might find it quite difficult to reach some of the bowls and glasses but if you’re over 5ft 5, you’ll probably be okay.

Lo sentimos muy casa, las camas muy cómodas y nos dejaron el pan por la mañana

É a quinta vez que fico alojado no chalet com a familia e conto regressar mal possa. Não.apenas pela localização e convivialidade do espaço que é perfeito para uma estadia em grupo mas tambem por todo o apoio do proprietário, incluindo o pão fresco logo de manha.

Da estadia ter sido tão curta 😀
