    This was our second stay and we were as impressed as previously. It's spotless. And quite spacious for two friends sleeping in different rooms. Simple cooking facilities which suited us. Easy walk into town for the Festival we were attending.

    L'host è molto disponibile e gentile. A disposizione in giardino privato c'è un barbeque e qualche tavolino con una bella vista. La zona molto tranquilla. E la posizione è strategica per l'isola.

The Cantinho do Solar is part of a Centenary Solar. This holiday apartment resulting from the remodeling of an area which once served as the stable attachment . The surrounding garden is of an extraordinary beauty with the added value of having sea and mountain views . The property is situated in Vila Franca do Campo, known for its micro-climate, the islet of Vila (nature reserve) and central location.
I belong to the family and Cantinho do Solar is a dream that came true.
The village has maintained its traditional serenity alongside a beautiful and interesting natural and architectural heritage. Here one can see and access the wonderful islet of Vila Franca do Campo, located about 1 km from the town's coast, in a crater of an extinct volcano, classified as a Nature Reserve and requested in the summer months. Vila Franca do Campo is proud of his Church of the fifteenth century “São Miguel Arcanjo”, the beautiful “Ermida Nossa Senhora da Paz”, the beautiful Church of “São Pedro” or the interesting Municipal Museum which covers anthropology and ethnology of region. Throughout the region, the nature shows its excellence, surrounded by the typical green of São Miguel Island, offering landscapes of great beauty, such as the Pont’s: “Lagoa do Fogo, “Lagoa do Congro” e “Lagoa dos Nenúfares”. Much appreciated are the Queijadas Village famous with origins in "Santo André" Convent, still made according to a recipe kept secret for two families of the earth, and the artifacts and dishes in clay, following today ancient traditions. The nearest airport is Ponta Delgada Airport "João Paulo II", about 25 km from the property.
