Domus Adepta Family w Garden

It is a small one-storey building divided into two apartments, typical of a Portuguese village or small town, with all the pros and cons that come with it: it can be cold in winter or in the mid-season (although there are small heaters in each room, warm pyjamas are still needed), a lack of power sockets (we solved this by bringing an adapter with USB ports), ants (do not forget ant traps) and flies (leave the windows open behind the shutters). They have an amazing garden shared with the other apartment in the same building, where you can have breakfast, and a shed with plenty of firewood, a good washing machine, and much-needed clotheslines. There is a chimney in the living room, and we even tried, and eventually managed, to light the fireplace. However, the logs seemed a bit damp, so it is better to prepare some kindling in advance, or not try unless you know how to do it.

There were only twin beds, at least in our apartment. At least one double bed would have been preferable, as well as warm blankets for the cold season.

Nice to have an actual apartment/house over a hotel. Loved having a kitchen and living space; wish we were staying longer to take better advantage of the whole house. Short walking distance to a lot of the attractions in town! Love the private garden in the back. Wish we had dedicated parking, but we were able to find a spot down the street or one block over each day.

If I recall, some of the doors, particularly the bathroom door, did not latch shut well. The house was also a bit warm. It would have been nice to have some more fans for when it is hot outside and there isn't enough breeze coming in through the windows.

Place was in an excellent location..... And the garden was beautiful, especially considering that the house is right in the centre

Communication with owner could have been abit better and also TV was not working and abit more utensils to cook with would have been appreciated, especially for the price....... Other wise everything was great and as described...

Really nicely located in Furnas! The appartment was large enough and had a nice garden.

The appartment was clean, but the level of maintenance is quite low. Although all mentioned amenities are there, they really need an upgrade! The coffeemachine didn't function (very unpredictable and leaking). There's a cooking plate for only two pans (too sparse for a 4 person appartment), which at times stops working while cooking, or spontateously locks itself. The kitchen tap is leaking. Broken floor tiles at several points. The appartment lacks a sufficient amount of power supplies and lights (i.e. in bedrooms), and it is all very old (even safety issues). Although a tv is mentioned, it is only a very small (15" pc) screen in the corner of the living. Hardly visible from the couch. Uncomfortable mattrasses and the couch is very old and uncomfy too. Ants were running all over the kitchen (not from outside, but in the middle of the appartment) and also in the hallway towards one of the bedrooms. And something very simple: it's useful to put some rubber under the dining chairs. Any little shift truly makes a lot of noise (screatching plain wood on tiling).
