Unique place with a homely feel

We loved our stay. The rooms were very tasteful, ample, clean and nice. The entire house, which only has 6 rooms, and garden were very homely and tasteful, and we were very comfortable during our stay. And everyone working there was welcoming, friendly and helpful. The guesthouse is located in the border of the village, just bellow some stunning hills. With views to the characteristic volcanic rock walls and the vibrant nature that the island has. Our only neighbours, some cows. You will need a car tho, but that's true of the whole island in general. We recommend Casa de Campo Franco da Serra and Terceira in general. Beautiful island, friendly people, amazing food and a great destination in general.

Tomas knows how to receive guests very well. The property is in great condition with clean rooms and an amazing pool. The location is not a problem as it’s 10 minutes from Angra and all major attractions are 20-30 minutes away. Overall, great place to call home on the island of Terceira. I am definitely planning to return the next time I’m in Terceira (which will be in the near future).

Excelente alojamiento

Anfitriones muy amables y serviciales. El sitio es prácticamente nuevo, las instalaciones estupendas, una pena que el tiempo no dejara disfrutar la piscina. Los desayunos muy ricos y con diferentes panes y variados y puedes repetir de lo que quieras. El sitio nos encantó.

Fui a primeira hóspede e senti-me em casa

Local sossegado na ilha e a vista dos quartos é simplesmente maravilhosa. Estive 4 noites total e o pequeno almoço foi sempre variado e fresco ( pão e queijo eram entregues todas as manhãs , doce típico da ilha...) inclusive acomodaram as horas porque saía cedo para visitar a ilha . O quarto bem decorado, cama super confortável e tinha 2 tipos de almofadas ( uma mais mole e uma mais dura). No quarto têm chá /café , casa de banho com secador de cabelo , shampoo. Basicamente o quarto está completamente equipado com tudo o necessário . Na sala tem livros que podem ler e acabei por estar num ambiente familiar ,no final do dia a falar com a família e adorei, dão ideias de sitios para visitar, restaurantes a ir, inclusive a história da casa. Qualquer situação prontamente resolviam . Infelizmente não pude usar a piscina (estava frio) mas o espaço está giro e a piscina é grande. Não aparecia nas fotos mas fiquei surpreendida quando cheguei. também têm barbeque e mesa para sentar no exterior As fotos não fazem justiça à beleza da casa e espaço envolvente. Se voltar à Ilha Terceira de certeza que voltarei a ficar lá! Quero agradecer por me terem recebido tão bem e desejar felicidades neste projecto à família Medeiros.
