We stayed for 2 weeks. I wish we could have stayed for 2 months, or longer. We couldn't believe how magical the property was. The pictures don't do it justice. This house gets HEAD ON views of the sunrise AND beautiful sunset views, though to see the sun go down beyond the horizon line, you need to walk about 4 minutes along the coastal promenade (oh darn!). Speaking of the coastal promenade and sunset views, this property is tucked away on a very private and gorgeous coastal road and yet it's just minutes by foot from one of the best places on the island to watch the sunset. Step out the door and stroll along the ocean just a few minutes to arrive at a bunch of stone picnic tables with grills where you can create your own sunset picnic. Go a few feet further and you'll find yourself at the natural pools, where you can swim and also lay out in the sun, as well as Sunset Steve's bar, a chill place to enjoy a beer or ice cream in the afternoon thru early evening. A few steps further there's a never-crowded black sand beach. A whale-watching and sunset cruise company is walking distance from the house (Terra do Pico). O Americo is an outstanding local restaurant. In short, we also fell in love with the town of Mosteiros. The only downside is its distance from most of the island's main attractions: plan to spend 40-80min driving to most things. For us it was worth it for the tranquil ocean-front home in Mosteiros. Local owner and host Paula went ABOVE AND BEYOND at every turn!!
