We stayed for 5 1/2 weeks and very much look forward to our next stay, right here! The apartment was spotless, beautifully decorated, the bed luxurious, and the couch very comfortable whether to chat, read books, listen to music, or watch TV (Netflix included!). The unit was equipped with everything you could want - local cell phone, umbrellas, clothes lines, fully stocked kitchen with the full range of dishes, large and small appliances, a cooler and ice packs for day trips, cleaning supplies, and even basic cooking stuff like some spices and olive oil etc. We loved the patio - the view of the village, the sound of the church bells, and the ocean. Weather is so variable and it was great that we could see whether there was cloud cover at the top of Lago do Fogo. (There was also a link on his laptop that allowed a webcam view of the weather on various locations on the island.) This was our third trip to the Azores and the best location by far, with central access to all parts of the island. But, we didn't have to go far since we loved the town of Santa Cruz itself! Great restaurants, shopping nearby, breath-taking views, tons of character, and friendly people. We loved the dynamic mass (11:30), music, and sense of community at the nearby church and happened upon a weekend festival there one weekend. And finally, our host Nuno was absolutely fantastic! He met us to orient us when we arrived, checked in to see how we were faring, promptly took care of a repair (our fault!) and offered travel tips. But most significantly, we had the misfortune of needing the hospital at the beginning and end of our trip. He was emotionally and practically supportive. Truly, our stay here could not have been better!
