Fabulous value

Daniela Washington state, USA
Review Submitted: December 28, 2006 Date of Stay: June 2005
I
chose "Casa Melanie" because it was on the side of the island I wanted
to stay on (the West side = sunset views), was less expensive than most
other properties and seemed to be the most spacious and attractive in
the online description. The actual house did not disappoint and
actually exceeded our expectations! The house was spotlessly clean and
modern, complete with tons of extra ammenities such as a washing
machine, a hammock outside, a large solarium (a separate building next
to the house, also lockable) that we used to hang our laundry to dry.
The solarium also contained a built-in barbecue and full sized table
and chairs for grilling and eating, which was nice to use when it was
too windy to eat outside some evenings. The kitchen was fully equipped
and included things like sugar, seasonings, and even things like a
garlic press, which made cooking easy. The free breakfast/snack fixings
that the hosts left in the fridge upon our arrival was also a huge
welcome bonus that other houses I looked at did not advertise. The view
from the house overlooking the village of Ginetes and the ocean was
breathtaking, and the surrounding garden including many typical island
plants (hydrangeas, bouganvillea, etc.) made for stunning sunset
photographs. The location of the house on a hillside loop with few
houses made it quiet and peaceful--I have recommended this house to
friends with children, as the large yard makes it very safe for
playing. The hosts (they live down the hill) were incredibly gracious
and shared the produce from their garden, including bananas. They even
invited us one night to chat over some local brandy. The only
forseeable drawback to a house in this location is that a rental car is
more or less necessary (although the bus does run hourly down on the
main street), however I think after some research that this is more or
less a must anywhere on the island except for the main city of Ponta
Delgada. And of course staying in the city means no quiet, no garden
and no territorial views of the west side of the island.
One of the best hikes we did while on the island was made directly from
our doorstep--the one and a half hour hike to the top of
the crater and down to the village of Sete Cidades. The paved road (our
path) continued up the street until it became a dirt road the farmers
use. We passed the black and while Holstein cows grazing in pastures
amid endless rows of wild hydrangea hedges. Our reward for our upward
climb, the view from "Vista do Rei" is probably the most photographed
on the island. The other awesome attraction on this side of the island,
only a 5 minute drive away, was the "Ferraria", a natural hotsprings in
the ocean which is a favorite of locals and tourists alike. We
consulted the tide table to find out the right time to go and soak,
which we did almost every day. The cafe in Ginetes near the main square
was a great place to go for a coffee with milk (um galao) and maybe a
local pastry after soaking in the Ferraria . The nearby village of
Mosteiros has a nice bathing beach, but it could be a little rough at
times. The pizzeria in Mosteiros was delicious and run by an Italian
immigrant.
I highly recommend "Casa Melanie" to anyone interested in a quiet
retreat in an immaculate, well-appointed and spacious house that is
near the airport yet far enough away from the city to feel "away from
it all".

„... 12 traumhafte Tage durften wir im Casa Melanie verbringen. Die Ruhe, der Ausblick und die Geborgenheit, den dieses Haus vermittelt, ist mit Worten nicht zu beschreiben.“ (Effenberger) *** „... Es war ein so ganz anderer Urlaub: Die herrliche Landschaft und Natur, die Ruhe und das wunderschöne Heim haben wir so richtig genossen.“ (Böckl) *** „... Die grüne Insel und der gemütliche Stützpunkt verlocken zum Wiederkommen.“ (Dietz) *** „... Unser Ferienhaus bleibt uns als Domizil über dem Atlantik und Ginetes thronend in bester Erinnerung.“ (Wolf) *** „... Wir sind überwältigt von dem zauberhaften Ferienhaus hoch über dem Atlantik mit dem liebevoll gemütlich ausgesuchtem Ambiente.“ (Langeloh) *** „... Begeistert waren wir von den sternenklaren Nächten, den gemütlichen Spielabenden im Wintergarten und dem täglichen Blick über den weiten Atlantik.“ (Hummel) *** '... Ein so schön gelegenes Haus bewohnten wir noch nie.“ (J. u. P. Christen)

Hier stimmts!!!

Klaus&Bea Gossau/Schweiz
Review Submitted: November 18, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Wohl fühlten wir uns im Casa Melanie. Wer hier war, weis weshalb (siehe Bewertungen). Dazu haben auch Sie beide (Vermieter-Ehepaar) beigetragen. Über Land, Leute und Leben haben wir einiges durch Euch beide erfahren, welches in keinem Reiseführer nachzulesen ist. Man merkt, dass Sie nicht ein Inseldasein unter ihresgleichen leben. Dies macht Sie beide zusammen mit dem Casa Melanie so Sympatisch und das hier sein, so angenehm.

Sehr dicht am Paradies

die Garten Lüneburg, Germany
Review Submitted: August 3, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Wir (2+2 [17+16 Jahre] haben 2009 das zweite Mal hier Station gemacht. Es ist ein wunderschönes Haus, mit speziellem Service, wie z.B. Getränke, Brot und auch etwas für darauf für den ersten Tag bereits im Haus vorhanden. Die Lage ist einfach super, nachts sehr ruhig. Ein idealer Stützpunkt zur Endeckung der wahnsinnig tollen Insel oder auch des Meeres.
Wandern, ein wenig klettern, baden, Tauchen, Surfen, Wale gucken, entspannen, gut essen, erträgliche Temperaturen, tolle Vegetation und noch sehr ursprünglich ohne Massentourismus.
Für das evtl. kurze Bad am Abend bietet sich die sehr nahe gelegene Ferraria mit dem warmen Zulauf an. Die kann man in 5 Minuten mit dem Auto erreichen.
Die Vermieter sind stets für Anfragen, Ausflugstipps oder auch eine Reservierung bei Waldemar zum Essen zu haben. Waldemar macht Super Essen, spricht aber nur portugiesich (wir leider immer noch nicht).
Bisher waren wir im Sommer hier, werden es aber erneut für nächstes oder übernächstes Jahr in Anlauf nehmen, dann vielleicht mal im Herbst wo die Blauwale hier sein sollen.

Für uns das beste Urlaubsdomizil
was wir (Baujahr 1963) bis heute kennengelernt haben.

Ferienidyll

Review Submitted: November 4, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
Dieses Ferienhaus ist fuer uns unuebertroffen.Es ist auesserst sauber und ebenso gepflegt wie die unmittelbare Umgebung. Alles funktioniert gut, und im Garten blueht immer etwas.Von dem in laendlicher Ruhe gelegenen malerischen Standort hat man einen einfach herrlichen Blick auf die Sued-und Westkuesten und den Atlantik.Die Eigentuemer sind sehr sympathisch und hilfsbereit, so dass man ruhig und ungestoert Urlaub machen kann.Wir koennen Casa Melanie uneingeschraenkt empfehlen und wollen wiederkommen.
