Rental Home on Faial

Our preferred way of spending the holidays is to rent a whole house for our family. This time we found our holiday home at azoreshigh which offers self-catering rental homes on Faial (among other related items).

The home we had rented, Casa do Vale, in Almoxarife is a beautiful traditional house, was modernised, extended, and lies in a sheltered valley. Walking to the black sand beach only took two minutes!!

In the morning we would wake up with lots of bird singing and farm animal greetings. The house stands at the far end of one of the village roads. After Casa do Vale, the road turns into a dirt road…

azoreshigh has a good selection of rental opportunities.

Edited 23 March 2013: Our former rental home is no longer on the list. But I hope you find something you like.

Wi-Fi Zones on Faial

Internet broadband access is extensive on the island. Of course, getting into the net was fastest at the internet café in Horta near the marina.

The cafe is housed in a pastel green wedding cake of a building, wrought-iron balconies and Art Deco interior.

At first we used this café, but its food is served cold and with tuna (both quiche and pizza slices…). I like tuna, but my family doesn’t.

Later we realized that the city of Horta is well equipped with internet broadband access – in almost every restaurant or bar, residents and visitors can access the the net free of charge.

Other Wi-Fi zones included the playground at the beach in Almoxarife.

The port city of Horta, aware of its significant role in history regarding transcontinental communications, still intends to be the center of information technology despite its far-flung geographical location.
