Vila Franca do Campo Holidays

Good location, on a sand beach. Place was clean and neat. Little noisy at night as street speeds were very fast during the late hours just out side the bedroom window.

Welcoming and helpful staff, comfy beds, beautiful grounds and views and so much peace and quiet! We stayed in early April and the weather was beautiful but unpredictable (as usual in the Azores) and our room stayed a comfortable temperature the entire time without using the thermostat. The only change I'd make is more variety at breakfast and more opportunity to try the Azorean beef at dinner!

Great central location, beaches, restaurants and views were amazing

This hotel definitely earns 5 stars. The breakfast was very good with a lot of food choices in a cozy restaurant. Hotel on this island is a better option than a Airbnb due to no good restaurants that serve breakfast. All restaurants on the island start serving food at noon. The lobby is very nice with beautiful vases and other nice decorations. Near the staircase was a nice little library where you can borrow books. What I did not like is the AC. Temperature does not go below 19 C. I like to sleep with a temperature of 16C. I had to sleep with the open balcony. It worked only because I lived on a second floor. Hotel does not provide shampoo. Only soap is provided. Some rooms appear to be a way better than others. We had a big group occupying 3 rooms. The outdoor backyard is very large and nice. It has fruit trees with sweet fresh oranges. The hotel has a gym, spa, tennis court, and an outdoor pool which is not heated. There is a tiny pool inside the pineapple greenhouse but it is extremely overcrowded. The Japanese restaurant was ok but could be better. It was too overpriced and sushi were small. I also liked how we would receive little gifts each night like little sweets and even a poem.

This is a unique option to be on a small home boat on the harbor. All basics were provided, dishes, seating, honor bar, adjustable heat, etc. Two outdoor spaces to sit or lounge on top of boat space. Two small beds were comfy although one felt more tipped by waves. You are definitely on a boat in moving water but it’s set up for that with kitchen and bath stability. I would stay there again for longer next time. Very convenient to local town amenities with several restaurant options nearby.
