Large room in Quinta das Palmeiras
Overview
Conveniently located right on the main road called Estrada Regional in Santa Luzia (Pico). The room is roughly 4 x 9 meters in size and has got a futon and two separate single beds which can be seen in the photos. It also has a work table and a dining table with chairs. About 200 meters from us there is a little local village grocery shop and two cafes within walking distance. Madalena is 9 km and São Roque is 7 km from here. The PIX airport is 4 km and the beach is 2 km. Views of neighbouring islands and the Pico volcano are abound. Remark regards sharing: there will be no other guests staying overnight in the house at the same time and while there is no actual lockable door in the pictured archway connecting the large room with the kitchen, the bathroom and with the rest of the house, there is a retractable fabric curtain on the archway, for privacy. We will make sure your belongings will be secure or we can lock them in the safe, which is in the same room. Thus while the bathroom and kitchen will be shared with us the owners, you will not share your room with anyone else. The cats live outside and only sometimes they are let inside for a visit. PAYMENT FOR ACCOMMODATION: Full payment upon guest arrival, payable directly to your host, in cash or 7 to 10 days before arrival via bank transfer (within the EU countries only) or via Paypal internationally (5,5% Paypal fee applies) in Euros (€). LAUNDRY SERVICE: €5 per load (2-3 hours, drying outside, if raining – inside). CLOTHES DRYER: €1 per every 10 minutes, runs on electricity. LOCATION: While Homestay's map won't show our home's exact location, being a remote island as we are, I must note to not mistake us for a Portuguese mainland location. We (me and my girlfriend) are located in a village of Santa Luzia on Pico island in the Azores archipelago, 1700 km west from Lisbon.
House Rules
DOOR ENTRY: We do not have a guest key for the house, since we are always at home, so we will open the door for you. Ring the door bell button. KITCHEN: We are a vegetarian non-smoker couple who also do not have cooking skills thus we are unable to serve you breakfast, but a light use of our kitchen and refrigerator is possible. WC: No solid objects (exception: toilet paper) should be deposited into the toilet. Please leave them in the trash bucket next to the toilet. Gentlemen please urinate in the WC by sitting only. Urinating by standing is possible in a designated area outdoors. SMOKING: While smoking inside of the house is not allowed, we can arrange a designated space for smoking outside. GRILL: Use of the outside grill owen (photographed) can be arranged with an advance agreement (to prepare firewood), for a reasonable extra charge. SHOES: You can wear your shoes while inside the room as long as they are free of mud or you can wear slippers if you prefer. We may have a spare pair of slippers in case if you need them. CAR: Unfortunately I do not own a passenger car, only a two-seater lorry (truck). Therefore I recommend renting a car with some rental company. BICYCLES: We have got 2 bicycles that we can rent out for a daily fee (advance notice required). Down the gravel road on the coast nearby there is a bicycle path on tarmac several kilometers long that arrives in Madalena, the largest town on the island. EXTRAS: Special requests such as arrange a bonfire or provide a space for a tent in our spacious upper "backyard" (surrounded by woods) or arrange a walk in our garden can be discussed in advance. We will charge a reasonable fee to cover our costs. REMARK: While Homestay's map won't show our home's exact location, being a remote island as we are, I must note to not mistake us for a Portuguese mainland location. We are located in a village of Santa Luzia on Pico island in the Azores archipelago, 1700 km west from Lisbon.
