Great Coastal Hideaway
Great small house located on a quiet dead-end road on the outskirts of a small coastal village. Fabulous view of the coastline from the rooftop terrace. Walled, tree-lined courtyard provides shade as well as shelter from rain or wind. Comfortable bedroom. Galley kitchen had everything that we needed to prepare meals. Walking distance to small black sand beach - a good spot for surfing or bodyboarding when the swell is right. One of the island's marked hiking trails passes near the house and several others are nearby. Easy 20 minute drive from the airport & 30 minutes to downtown Horta & ferry terminal. Owner (Zelda) is easy to communicate with & very helpful. She lives on the island & she met us upon our arrival to show us around the house. She was also very understanding & accommodating when we had to cancel & reschedule our trip twice due to COVID travel restrictions (we originally booked for 2020). Overall...Highly recommended!

Fantastic house in an ideal location
The house has everything you need for a relaxing vacation. We wish we could have spent at least another week there! The location is beyond picturesque with the water and mountains outside the front door. You can walk to the beach (the water is a bit rough to swim but nice to get your feet wet and take in the views) and there’s also a nice hiking trail very near. The house is nicely designed, cozy and comfortable, and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The outdoor space is lovely — we could have spent the whole time in the hammocks listening to the ocean waves! Great communication from the hosts — Zelda was so helpful from the minute we booked — sending hiking and island information and making sure we had all the info we needed leading up to the trip, and she checked in with us during the week as well. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to all!

A Little Piece of Heaven!
This home away from home was nestled in it's own little nook! Quiet, peaceful and yet not to far from it all. Short walking distance to beach, fishing and the best pizza on the island! We found the best restaurant in Faial, Principe! A must if your staying here! What a treat! Zelda and Lawrence were great! Thank you for everything!Very accommodating with things to do and if you needed any information about Faial! Hammocks were a hit as well as the outdoor space to relax and outside shower!! The master bedroom bed was comfy! The twin beds could use a newer mattress. Probably great for children but not adults! We did cook outside as the weather was outstanding! A couple of BBQ Utensils would of been handy but we made do with what we had! Overall, This place was a jewel! Don't forget to take time to see the sunset!! Gorgeous!! Would definitely return! Island hopped to Pico and Sao Jorge was easy taking the Ferry across from Horta! You won't be disappointed!!

Fantastic
We had a wonderful 10 days here, we found it well equipped and the AC made it very comfortable. The location was perfect, so close to the sea and a beach. Lawrence and Zelda were so good, always available and happy to answer questions we had. Thoroughly recommend.

Beach Paradise
Os Salgueiros made a wonderful home for our family of four. The courtyard is as perfect as you might imagine with privacy yet plenty of sun. You can't beat the outdoor shower whether washing off beach sand or just luxuriating in the sun. My daughter occupied herself for hours watering the planters and everybody loved the hammocks. There is an air conditioner in the house if you're not used to the humidity. Lawrence gave us a warm welcome on arrival and was a gracious host throughout the entire process. Zelda was very communicative and in the future we'll probably work with her on car rental as we had a really bad experience with Travelocity/Hertz (totally unrelated). Finally and perhaps most importantly, the house is the only place you can rent all the way down at beach level and the praia did not disappoint! Absolutely pristine black sand, zero trash, not crowded, and even has its own natural pool. My son and I also enjoyed the huge waves which were way beyond other beaches (but completely fine - he is 8 and spent an hour getting smashed for fun). Good free showers, trash disposal, a park for kids right there, and the best pizza on the island is a 5 minute walk. Amazing location!

Great Oasis on the North Side
We stayed here at the end of May 2018 and really enjoyed our stay. It's so quiet, and the public beach is pretty much a private beach except on the weekends. The cork bed is super comfortable and the cottage has everything you need: bbq, hammocks, kitchen with cooktop/oven and an outdoor show. Great view off the veranda. The hosts, Zelda and Lawrence, were very helpful with any questions we had. Thanks so much for a relaxing stay.

It was our second stay and as first in 2011 that same very nice. In present time it's difficult to find quiet place, but Azores and that cottage there are. Very good standard, hospitable owners (Zelda and Lawrence). Thank you at all and maybe see you next time.Zuzia, Piotr, Wojtek and Rafael

Ultimate place to relax
Once again we found "our home in Faja" to be a wonderful retreat! The renovations have made it even more inviting; we enjoyed the increased space in the kitchen, the new appliances and beautiful cabinets, as well as the French doors opening to the covered patio. This awning made it possible to even enjoy the rain outside! We love the hammocks, the closeness to the ocean and the beach, the clear night skies, the incredible sounds of nature at night. There is truly no place on earth like it! Regarding the area, the cottage is a five minute walk to "the best pizza in Portugal" at Snack Bar Faja, and a five minute drive to our favorite restaurant (and store), Rumar. I highly recommend this place to anyone!

Praia do Norte
Das Domizil ist traumhaft, so wie die Landschaft der gesamten Insel. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Ein Manko: die für uns etwas ungewohnten schwarzen Strände, häufig mit vielen Steinen.

Ocean front Vacation Home
We have been at the cottage for 2 wonderful weeks . The place ist perfect for relaxing and enyoing the waves at the beach. The cottage is super cozy and has all the comfort you are looking for. The brand new kitchen is very functional and invites you for cooking! We did receive a perfect support from the owner of the cottage. Everything is well organized and makes your stay to a time you will never forget!

A perfect hideaway
For those looking for a hideaway in a scenic location on the north coast of Faial, this house is perfect. The kitchen is well equipped and ingredients such as oil, vinegar, spices, sugar, etc. were available. At night, as you gaze at the stars from the rooftop terrace, you can hear the sound of the sea and the call of the yellow-billed loon. Smooth communication, at check-in and check-out. The courtyard is very spacious, with plenty of shade, and the hammocks were very popular - with both the adults and the children.

Tiefenentspannung und Erholung garantiert
Dieses gemütlich eingerichtete Ferienhaus bietet alles, was man braucht, um einen herrlich entspannten Urlaub zu verbringen: das Meer befindet sich gleich gegenüber vom Haus, zum Strand sind es nur ein paar Minuten zu Fuß. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet, es fehlt an nichts. Nachts hört man nur das Meeresrauschen und wenn man Glück hat, das Geschrei der Gelbschnabel Sturmtaucher. Zelda und Lawrence gaben uns viele nützliche Informationen und Insider Tipps zur Insel. Vielen Dank für diese schönen, unbeschwerten Tage in eurem Haus!
