Homestay ở Várzea

Nathalie Ireland (Ai Len)

I am so pleased I found this little gem and that the beginning of my trip to the Azores started in this lovely place with such a friendly and helpful host, Monique. I would recommend other travellers hire a car but for me I didn't have a car for this 3 day trip and Monique helped me figure out interesting places to visit and good places to eat that I could get to via taxi or bus. She gave me great advice about the island and what to do. The location of the Villa is in a little remote town and as Monique explained the island isn't yet set up with lots of restaurants -- not too hard to find a good place to eat in the daytime, but unless you're in the capital, dinner is a little more tricky. Monique's breakfast, however, were like having three meals in one! Wonderful, generous food which I then packed up the day on my adventures to nearby places. When I joined my friends a few days later in the main city, I already knew so much about the island - where to go and what to do thanks to my lovely stay in at Monique's villa. I stayed in the beautifully laid out, extremely spacious garden apartment with my own kitchenette (fridge, coffee machine, microwave)

What a sweet little cabin! We only stayed there one night but wished we could have stayed longer. It was in a great location near the Miradouro Escalvado for the most beautiful sunset. The cabin was clean and well cared for. We especially loved the warm dip in the hot tub in the evening. The communication with the owner was excellent.

I had the pleasure of staying in the Country Suite of beautiful Villa Várzea for 6 nights, and I cannot recommend it enough. The Villa is comprised of two hundred-year-old buildings with a great history, as they were once owned by one of the first doctors on the island. I loved how the design of the spacious interiors still reflects such history, yet without compromising on modern needs. Together with the very quiet and peaceful location of the small village of Várzea, this combination allows for a very relaxing experience that is hard to find elsewhere. All this I could have mostly guessed by reading the description of the house online. What I could not have guessed is that the house is run by lovely locals, some of whom I had the pleasure of meeting and becoming friends with, such as the sweetest receptionist Catarina, Rita, Filomena and the owner Monique, who happens to be the great-granddaughter of the aforementioned physician. In the room, there is also a booklet full of suggested locations to visit, with some interesting descriptions of the history of Villa Várzea and its village. On my last day, I also tried the optional breakfast, which was delicious and included local food.

Kind staff, excellent room and superb equipped kitchen with common area. Everything was very clean, enjoyed the A/C. just maybe fix the TV cable as most of the channels didn't work. Thank you and hope to come again

The house is really big and offers sound system, so even you small kid can be a DJ. It has well equipped kitchen, really lot of towels and great garden. There were also lot of candles so you can indeed feel as at home.
