Miniparadies im Paradies
Das O Palheiro war superschön warm als ich angekommen bin. Die Begrüßung sehr freundlich und Neil ist sehr Hilfsbereit. Ein Miniparadies im Großen Paradies. Trotz Regen und Sturm habe ich mich rundum wohl gefühlt, bin in den sonnigen Momenten in den Sturm gelaufen und als ich klatschnass heim kam wollte Neil die Sachen in den Trockner werfen. Ich komme wieder!

Good value bijou apartment in Faja Grande
Nice studio apartment in good location, well designed to make maximum use of limited space. Neil was very welcoming with starter pack of some butter, jam, wine & beer etc, and accommodated an early check in. Also provided a wealth of info on Flores. Bed very comfortable. No air con though there was a dehumidifier. Nice wild garden with entertainment provided by Neil & Carol’s kitten. Slight problem with shower drainage – water ran away very slowly so had to be quick!

Encantador
Niel, o proprietário é maravilhoso. É inglês, mas faz um esforço por falar português, se o fizermos devagar. Sempre atento às necessidades mas sem se tornar intrometido. O local é uma casinha pequena, com um quarto, cozinha e wc - essencial, prático e confortável. E com um jardim muito agradável e gatos. Todos os dias tivemos a visita de uma gatinha, Tutle (espero não me ter enganado no nome) que fazia as nossas delícias… Morro de saudades dela!!! Está muito bem localizado, na Fajã Grande, que é provavelmente o sítio mais bonito da ilha. Tem restaurantes, um café/mercearia com gente maravilhosa e tudo o que é essencial. Parque de estacionamento a 200mts. Perto da praia, das piscinas naturais e de toda a beleza estonteante da ilha e de percursos pedestres fantásticos! Tem wi-fi gratuito.

Posto fantastico
La casa si trova nel villaggio di Faja Grande, nella parte ovest dell isola. Il proprietatio Neil si è dimostrato veramente disponibile e ci ha spiegato come arrivare e una volta sul posto ci ha dato ulteriori indicazioni. La casa ha una bellissima vista mare, è completa di tutto quello che serve per essere autonomi (cucina, bagno e ovviamente letto) e ci sono 2 terrazze in cui mangiare. Anche il giardino di fronte è molto bello. Qui posso dire veramente di averci lasciato il cuore, per il posto e per le persone. Ritornerò sicuramente.

Typique et bien placé
Nous y sommes restés 4 jours. A proximité, randonnées sous les cascades, mais aussi dans les volcans, le long des rivières. Et bien sûr la plage. Pour le lieu en soi. Confortable, spacieux, fonctionnel avec un supermarché à 200 m pratique pour les courses. Neil nous a chaleureusement accueilli et même laissé profiter de son sèche linge après une grosse pluie.

Small but with eveything you need
Small apt, but complete with everything you need. The owners live in the other side of the building, and they'll help you for evey request. Before the arrival, they'llp provide a very useful PDF for the apt and for all the Flores island experience. Form the door you'll see a small part of the sea, incuding the Ilhéu do Monchique, which is the westernmost land of Europe!

Da lasciarci il cuore
O Palheiro ha qualcosa in più ... quando si apre quelle piccola porticina rossa ci si trova dentro un mondo magico. Sembra di essere in una fiaba. Un giardino nascosto pieno di piccoli fiori colorati, piccoli vasi da scoprire, tanti pomodorini buonissimi e due aree dove fare colazione o prendere l'aperitivo una a livello della casa e l'altra più in alto con vista sul villaggio e sull'oceano. La casa sembra l'interno di una barca in quanto piccola il giusto e tutta in legno, ma dotata di qualsiasi cosa tu abbia bisogno anche i generi di prima necessità. C'è anche Il deumidificatore il letto è comodo e la casa è silenziosa, ...Neil è comunque sempre disponibile per ogni problema e la sua casa è accanto, ma la privacy è sempre perfettamente rispettata. Insomma io ci ho lasciato il cuore sia sull'isola, e Faja Grande è il posto ideale per visitarla, sia nella mia piccola magica casa ... Grazie di cuore Neil

Il posto perfetto per stare a Flores
La casa messa a disposizione dal Sig. king è assolutamente deliziosa, comoda, funzionale, pulita e provvista di tutto quanto può essere necessario all'ospite in base alle proprie esigenze. La cucina è assolutamente completa, il proprietario ha provveduto ai generi di prima necessità e anche al relax on una buona bottiglia di vino e birra, la casa è munita di deumidificatore se questo dovesse rivelarsi necessario, sempre il proprietario provvede all'invio per email prima dell'arrivo di tutto quanto è presente in casa e utili consigli per quanto riguarda l'isola (camminate, ristoranti, farmacie, noleggio auto). Abbiamo vissuto una bellissima esperienza sull'isola anche grazie a O Palheiro.

Heel mooi verblijf!
Erg vriendelijke ontvangst door Neil. Het appartement is prima voor 2 personen. Al wat we nodig hadden was aanwezig. En bij vragen kon je direct bij hem aankloppen. Op loopafstand van supermarktje en restaurants. Neil heeft geweldig restaurant aanbevolen. Dat was echt iets voor ons. Ook zelf gekookt. Dat gaat ook prima. Aanrader als je Flores bezoekt!
