Casa da Matilde is a wonderful place to escape to and enjoy the island of Sao Jorge. Beautiful sunsets over Pico seen from the garden terrace. A comfortable and calming location, listening to the waves on the shore.

Sehr schöne 3 Tage

Haus ist etwas dunkel, aber ansonsten sehr gut eingerichtet und sauber. Blick von der Terrasse aufs Meer und auf die Insel Pico. Wer Katzen mag, ist hier sehr gut aufgehoben.
