Penilaian & Ulasan Keseluruhan Casa dos Barcos Furnas

One of our best stays ever, in a fantastic house with a lovely garden and a superb view over the lake. João, the grandson of the owners, was very helpful. Cannot recommend it more highly, especially for those who love older houses, with high ceilings, wooden shutters, etc. For some things,perhaps it showed there no longer was a small army maintaining the estate, but to us that only added to the charm. Hope to come back!

A unique historical home on a small lake. You'll find this place like no other you've been but a few things to consider. Ensure you talk to owners several days in advance to understand how to enter the property. The home is located in a barricaded government park. All you have to do is creep your car very very close to the barricade and it will open up but I saw others intimidated and turn around. There was no one to greet me at home so I had to seek out a neighbour borrow a phone and find the owners, again this could have been avoided if the owners had reached out and provided an email address, meeting times, documentation etc. Once you get settled you'll have a great time. It's well located for day trips throughout the island. The home is large with most amenities, many non-documented. The day I was leaving I found out there is a bike room and laundry in the locked basement. Not sure if you're allowed to use the laundry but its there. Lots of bugs so bring mosquito spray. Lots of considerations, but now I know them and plan to return again for more than 4 days this time.
