Casa Oliva-Vista Mar2: Designer apartment garden level, top location, heated pool

Gorgeous basement apartment with a huge patio and pool set in a botanical garden. Full kitchen. A short drive down into the town for groceries or several very good restaurants. Many activities to do in the area.

Peaceful, comfortable hide-away This is great location for exploring the west of the island.Heated pool, lovely view and good accommodation.

Unfortunate nuisances Good: spectacular view, good communication with owner and property manager, spacious accommodations, nice deck and pool, dedicated parking, good water pressure and temperatures Bad: upkeep needs much improvement - uncomfortable bed and bedding, dated furnishings, non functional hair dryer, lack of soap or laundry detergent, key did not work well and below standard security, noisy roosters in adjoining property, thin walls / noise from other suites especially above Ugly: prevalent ant problem - ants were found entering bathroom, kitchen counter, but most notably the dining table despite no food sources being present - must have killed 100+ over the week

Fantastic property, beautiful island Fantastic property that met and exceeded all our expectations. Spacious, stylish and very comfortable. Martin was very helpful, remotely giving us plenty of tips and advice on things to do, where to eat etc. Rosa was a phone call away locally to make sure our stay went smoothly. There was plenty to do locally especially if you wanted to experience the island's incredible nature. The local contemporary art museum - Casa das Mudas - was a brilliant discovery on a rainy day too. We look forward to returning!
