Staying at Casa Papagaio was a truly amazing experience. The property manager was quick to respond to WhatsApp questions. It’s fairly remote so finding it was challenging and cell service limited so interacting with the property manager tricky when out of cell range. But, it was well worth the effort to locate Casa Papagaio because the cliff views and serenity are unparalleled. The fresh eggs and produce were delightful. I would not suggest this property for preschool children as the cliff is quite steep.

Extremely disappointing - property misrepresented and uninhabitable - would not stay again. I rarely write negative reviews, but our week-long stay at this Azores villa was so far below acceptable standards that I feel compelled to warn future travelers.Major issues included a power outage that lasted 5 consecutive days and left us without lighting, refrigeration, or phone charging. This caused 200 worth of food to go bad and the issue was never resolved. One of the swimming pools and the plunge pool were unusable with filthy algae water. The grill and sauna were both inoperable. There was mildew in some of the bathrooms and an ant infestation in the kitchen.The property manager lives off-island and could only offer remote support, so nothing was resolved during our stay. The host has been unresponsive since and has not offered any acceptable compensation.Avoid this property. Basic safety, cleanliness, and advertised amenities were far below par.
Situation et vue sur l’océan extraordinaire. Maison très sympa avec les différentes annexes. Nous reviendrons

La casa está ubicada en la zona más salvaje de la isla, su entorno y su situación es inmejorable. Es una casa diferente a lo habitual, pero muy bonita. Dispone de huerto propio con tomates, pepinos y calabacines muy ricos. Cómo inconveniente diría que la ubicación es algo compleja , para transportar maletas, compra ... Además dependes de la luz que generan las placas solares, y para nosotros lo peor ha sido NO disponer de lavadora en estos 7 días, siendo que preguntamos por ella el segundo día de nuestra estancia y nos hemos ido sin ninguna solución. Aún así ha sido una semana mágica y recomiendo mucho visitar la isla, es una pasada vayas donde vayas.
Si le paradis existe, il doit ressembler à ça ! La maison est dans un environnement à couper le souffle, au cœur d’un jardin luxuriant où l’on peut cueillir ses légumes et ramasser ses œufs devant la mer.Admirer le lever du jour à travers les baies vitrées de l’une des chambres est une expérience merveilleuse. Se baigner dans la petite piscine avec l’océan devant soi est tout simplement magique.Attention toutefois. Comme indiqué dans l’annonce, (mais nous n’avions pas pris la mesure du phénomène), l’électricité est exclusivement fournie par les panneaux solaires. Nous pensons vraiment avoir été sobres ( 1 douche par personne à 10 et quelques cafés le matin, 1 lave vaisselle) mais il nous est arrivé plusieurs fois de ne plus avoir de lumière à partir de 20h. Il ne faut pas compter faire une machine ET un gâteau dans la même journée !!! C’est l’un ou l’autre. Nous n’avons pas essayé de nous servir du sauna, mais cela parait un peu illusoire, ou alors il faut prévoir de dîner aux chandelles.J’ajoute que si la maison est extraordinaire avec des ados, elle n’est sûrement pas très pratique avec de jeunes enfants car 3 des chambres doubles sont à l’écart de la maison principale. Ce que nous avons beaucoup apprécié pour notre part. Merci à nos hôtes pour ce séjour inoubliable.
