Amazing stay in Furnas
This property was perfect. It is even more beautiful than the photos depict. The grounds are wonderful for relaxing after days out exploring. The awning over the patio table provides perfect protection from any passing rain. The laundry facilities were very handy. The interior of the house had everything we could possibly need and Susanna gave us a great tour of the property when we arrived along with a very thoughtful gift basket. She also checked in by text during our stay.The beds were comfortable and washrooms large enough for our group. We loved staying in Furnas.The village was so pretty and the Villa's locatiom was perfect walking distance to shops. Would 10000% recommend.

The property is located in a fabulous area on Sao Miguel and has a beautiful garden and outdoor space to relax and enjoy the views of Furnas. It had all the conveniences of home which made it easy for me and my family to feel comfortable. The location was a quick walk to the Caldeiras, many restaurants, and natural hot springs. Thank you, Susanna and Rui!

Excellent Rental!
Over the years we have rented numerous vacation properties in Europe and the US but Villa Natura ranks with the best. The hosts are very helpful and friendly; the property is top notch. Lovely garden; plenty of room for four adults; comfortable beds; well-equiped kitchen; good showers and heat/AC; and spotlessly clean. Furnas proved to be a good location for walking around, basic shopping; and sight seeing. Especially notable are the Terra Nostra Gardens and hot springs and for dining, the Terra Nostra Hotel restaurant. For island sites we liked Villa Franco De Campo; Ribeira Quinte; Ribeira Grande; the Tea Plantation; and Mosterios and everywhere, the lush and beautiful scenery.

Wonderful Azorean Getaway
Susana was truly a terrific host - warm, hospitable, she greeted us at her home, gave us a thorough introduction, and she remained available for questions and advice throughout our stay. Her home is lovely - clean, charming, well-equipped, and Susana is clearly very attentive to needs of her guests. Wonderfully situated in Furnas to restaurants, shops, cafes, and natural sites. Private yard is truly beautiful and affords breathtaking views and many ways to relax and enjoy the outdoors. We appreciated both the air conditioning and dehumidifier, mainly for humidity rather than excessive heat. We support her plan to add a clothes dryer to the existing washing machine for laundry - between the near-daily spurts of drizzle/rain, plus the humidity, it was hard to dry our clothing successfully or effectively with use of the clothesline. This is a practical constructive comment based upon the climate. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the future!

Wonderful stay!
The Rustic House in Furnas is perfect in every way! The location is central to everything we wanted to see and do in Furnas: the thermal pools, food stores, restaurants and the caldeiras are all walking distance from the house. The house is also fully furnished with everything a family needs. We had comfortable beds and enough space for our family of 5 and the kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies/utensils. My husband felt comfortable and motivated to prep a couple of meals during his vacation! The 2 bathrooms were also a big plus for us. I did not have to fight to use a bathroom with my husband or 3 boys. Our stay in Furnas and in this house made our very first trip to Azores very pleasant, enjoyable and comfortable! We will be back!

Perfect place to stay for us
We really liked staying here. Everything was well stocked, beds were comfortable and having on-side parking was a big bonus. The house was very clean and plenty of room. It was nice to have two full bathrooms and the property is situated on a beautiful lot. The outside area is great for relaxing. The location was perfect for us as we could walk everywhere, such as restaurants, grocery store. The owner is very responsive and so nice! They went over everything to make sure we knew where everything was and had a nice booklet prepared with travel ideas. They had a very thoughtful welcome basket for us with local favorites. We are hooked on Bolo Levedos. Thank you for sharing your home with us! Truly lovely!

Beautiful house and grounds in ideal location
This is a nice house with all the amenities you need sitting on a beautiful property with orange trees and wonderful views of the hills surrounding Furnas. And, the house is located a couple blocks from the center of Furnas, giving you easy walking access to everything in town. And if you want to drive to sites farther away, you have your own driveway to park your car during your stay. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Our host, Bruno, could not have been more welcoming. He showed us through the house, which was homey and comfortable. Everything was provided, even beach towels. He was very prompt in replacing a broken toaster. It was delivered by his lovely sister. He even left us with a basket of local goodies, which we really appreciated.

Furnas home
This home was very nice, Bruno welcomes our stay with a nice local treats. I the house was pretty well equipped. Many bedrooms. There was a crib for our 1 year old. Although the crib is better suited for a non-standing infant because my daughter could get her leg over and both legs through the railings. Lastly, the house could use a few more frying pans. It was a very comfortable house with ac and we often spent time outside in the back yard. I would stay again.

We would highly recommend this property! Bruno was an amazing host. Our flight was delayed and he was extremely accommodating to let us check-in after midnight! He had a basket of goodies waiting for us, which was so helpful as everything was closed when we arrived. We loved the huge backyard and eating our meals outside. Lots of bedrooms to choose from. Bruno checked in with us to make sure everything was going well during our stay. The town of Furnas is beautiful and you can easily walk to many restaurants, shops, parks, and especially the steaming fumaroles which were just around the corner from the house. We loved our time here and would highly recommend this property. Thank you, Bruno!

Great house right in town
Rented the house for two months in “winter” that was really like Spring back home. Bruno was a delightful host, meeting me upon arrival and checking in on a regular basis to see if I needed anything, The house is located right in the heart of town and within walking distance of restaurants, shops, groceries, and the most popular tourist destinations. You do not need to rent a car as you can hire a local car and driver if and when needed. The garden is lovely even in winter with abundant oranges and tangerines in the yard.

Perfect place to stay for a family
My Wife and Son stayed at this house for 8 days this past week. It was perfect for the three of us (we did not need the second floor, (3) extra bedrooms). The house is situated near a few good places to eat and there was a small supermarket or two right down the street. we walked to the hot baths on two different evenings and spend allot of time just sitting in the backyard after a long days travels. We would highly recommend this cottage. Bruno was a pleasure to meet and all expectations were exceeded by this charming house and Sao Miguel in general.
