Spacious and beautiful house in perfect location

The house is beautiful, very spacious and comfortable, although the double bed could be wider. The location is perfect. Unfortunately one of the heaters and the fireplace chimney were not working, but the owner supplied us with a new heater straight away.

Gem in the Azores

We couldn’t really have wanted to stay in a more beautiful house in any other part of the island of San Miguel.As well as being fantastically equipped,full of character and well maintained the house sits in the town of Furnas with easy access to all parts of the island.Furnas and it’s environs is itself breathtakingly beautiful and lush,surrounded by thick forest. The whole experience gets a five star rating from us.

Maison ravissante et emplacement top !

Nous avons passé une semaine de rêve à découvrir Sao Miguel. L'emplacement de la maison à Furnas est idéal pour rayonner sur toute l'ile et s'adonner aux joies des randonnées toutes plus magnifiques les unes que les autres. La maison est très confortable et décorée de façon raffinée. Le jardin est un plus pour profiter du beau temps. Les vélos mis à disposition également pour aller faire le tour du lac. Les propriétaires sont adorables et au petit soin pour leurs locataires. Quelques fruits et de délicieux Bolos vous attendent à votre arrivée, ce qui est toujours agréable après un long voyage. Une adresse que nous recommandons vivement et à laquelle nous espérons revenir un jour !

Beautiful Historic House

Church House was perfect for me and my three teen grandsons to explore Sao Miguel. There was plenty of room to spread out, inside and outside. The kitchen was well equipped, but be sure to buy ground coffee. There is no coffee grinder. The kitchen and bathrooms are modern and very clean. The beds are comfortable. The washer and dryer were great to have and laundry detergent is supplied. I did learn to empty the water reservoir in the dryer into the toilet after every load. I had never seen a dryer like that, but our host walked me through it. There are also instructions near the dryer, which I did not see—but they were in plain sight. During the day, the street is crowded with parked cars because the house is very close to the entrance of Terra Nostra. I had to park several blocks up the street many days and then move the car to the house. You will hear the church bells, but they are pretty and you get used to them. The grounds are lush and private and make a great place to eat meals or sit and read. The village of Furnas is very safe and people are friendly. I let the boys find their way to various bakeries and grocery stores on their own, which they enjoyed very much. I would gladly stay at Church House again and highly recommend it.
