I had a wonderful stay at Casa Espalamaca on Faial Island and can’t recommend it enough. The location is breathtaking, with beautiful views in every direction, and the amenities really make the place special.
The sauna with a cold plunge was a highlight and a surprisingly refreshing first sauna experience. The hot tub sits on the edge of the hill with incredible views and was perfect after a day of exploring. We also enjoyed the outdoor BBQ overlooking the city and harbor, and the firepit was great for relaxing in the evenings.
Inside, the house feels luxurious but very comfortable. The kitchen is extremely well equipped, and the living room stands out with a well stocked bar, a huge modular sofa, a large projector screen, and a great sound system, making it ideal for movie nights.
We stayed as a group of seven, and everyone was accommodated comfortably with plenty of space.
Faial Island is stunning, and this stay made it easy to disconnect and recharge. With the views and amenities, you could easily spend your whole trip just enjoying the property. I can’t wait to come back!
