Nice location and host. Quite easy of access and located in a convinient place in the island.

The house is very central, is located in the middle of the island which make it easier to reach all the nature pearls of Açores. Very cute village, it is a perfect place to be in peace and relax after long walks. The house has a beautiful garden with view on the sea, where u can take your time to read and have outdoor meals.

nous étions 4 et nous avons été enchantés par cette jolie maison au calme, très bien située. les hôtes ont été discrets mais disponibles. rien à redire et si c était à refaire, ça serait sans hésitation. c était un séjour parfait.

Paulina's place is really nive, we really enjoyed the time there. She is very smart and her welcome package was lifesaving after the flight in the night. Thank you for everything, I can really recommmed her!

Nice and secluded small two rooms house. Beach is a minutes drive down. Don't forget to bring your soap and shampoo. Definitely great value

A Paulina foi sempre muito simpática e prestável. A casa fica num local muito sossegado e bonito e tem uma óptima vista.

Very cute cottage in a nice village with a great community-feeling. Paulina welcomed us very kindly and everything was perfect in the house. Highly recommended!

Quartier bien situé par rapport aux balades terre et mer à découvrir de ce côté de l'île. Jolie vue sur l'océan depuis la maison. Paulina nous a très bien reçus.

Bij aankomst werden we hartelijk ontvangen door João en Sandra met heerlijke koude biertjes. Beiden spreken goed Engels. Er is een geweldig vis-restaurant op loopafstand in het schattige haventje waar je ook in zee kunt zwemmen (met rotszwembad). De kamer is prima inclusief eigen badkamer+wc. We hadden fijne gesprekken met de eigenaren en ze konden goede tips geven.

We had a very nice stay. Nice hosts, very helpful and amiable. Simple, clean, priceworthy room with basic facilities. Great fish restaurant nearby. Walk to the village about half an hour. Cheap bakery with excellent gelao (milk coffee), pastries and snacks there (Nossa Senhora do Pao)

We hebben genoten van ons verblijf. Joao en familie zijn zeer aangename gastheren en hebben ons tal van tips gegeven over bezienswaardigheden. Vlak in de buurt van het verblijf ligt er trouwens een fantastisch visrestaurant.

João and his family are very hospitable and flexible people. João was very welcoming and willing to share with us precious information about places to visit and where to eat around the island. Caloura is a beautiful port with a swimming area (also for children). There's an excellent fish restaurant just a few meters away from João's place with delicious food and an amazing terrace on the sea. It's however the only place where you can eat in the port. The closest village is some 3 kilometers away. As there's no stove at João's place it needs some planning for the meals. The place has a lovely garden also inhabited by their three sweet dogs.

De locatie van het huis met zijn natuurlijke tuin is geweldig zo vlak bij zee en João en Sandra zijn zeer gastvrije mensen. Wifi is weliswaar niet in het huis, maar binnen 50 meter heb bij het toeristenbureau gratis wifi. Bovendien een prima visrestaurant op pakweg 150 meter lopen.

Joao et Sandra sont chaleureux, communicatifs et attentionnés, sont des hôtes parfaits. La chambre avec la salle de bains privative est grande, confortable et propre, et accolée à la maison d'été des hôtes entourée d'un grand jardin. L'ensemble est à 2 pas de la piscine naturelle et du seul restaurant,excellent, du coin. C'est un havre de paix que je recommande. It is a wonderful place and the owners Sandra and Joao are warm, and very friendly. You have all you need there: quiet, charm and comfort.

Très bel endroit,petit paradis paisible,hôtes très sympathique....en bref un incontournable....

Posto molto grazioso, camera spaziosa e bagno privato. Proprietari speciali e molto disponibili. Meraviglioso giardino a disposizione degli ospiti e mare a due passi!

Casa Grande is a fantastic place for your summer holiday. A nice apartment in a beautiful house with gardens like paradise and a swimming pool you will not easily forget. We had the entire facilities for our own since we were the only guests, so we enjoyed it all to the best. The friendly people and local cheese and bread that we received upon arrival gave us the warmest welcome one can expect. The Azores as a whole have stolen our hearts but this accommodation completed it all to the best summer holiday we ever had.

We returned yesterday from a 10 days stay at the Casa Grande in Caloura. We do have "Saudade" already. Jaime and Teresa gave us a warm welcome. It was the ideal location to relax after a stressful period. The apartment is fully equipped a very tasteful decorated. Not to forget the beautiful garden and swimming pool. It's a ideal base for discovering the island. A special thanks for your hous keeper Carmen. For us it felt like a privilege to stay at such a beautiful site. Jaime e Teresa: muito obrigado e um grande Abraço! Gijs e Patricia

Fantastyczna kwatera, fantastyczni gospodarze!!! Mieszkanie wyposażone we wszystko, co jest potrzebne do pobytu, zgodnie z opisem, należy tylko zaznaczyć, że korzystanie z pralki jest płatne. Caloura to cicha, bezpieczna, spokojna i bardzo urocza miejscowość, dom znajduje się w odległości 1 minuty spaceru od portu oraz restauracji z przepysznymi rybami. Państwo Teresa i Jaime to przesympatyczni, pogodni, gościnni, serdeczni oraz bardzo pomocni ludzie. Pomimo naszego późnego przyjazdu, oczekiwali na nas, zakwaterowanie odbyło się bardzo sprawnie, otrzymaliśmy podstawowe informacje o okolicy, tak samo nie było żadnych problemów podczas pobytu oraz podczas wykwaterowania. Ponadto na przyjazd, a także na odjazd zostaliśmy obdarowani miejscowymi smakołykami i drobnymi, bardzo miłymi prezentami. ZDECYDOWANIE POLECAM TO MIEJSCE!!! Teresa i Jaime - dziękujemy Wam bardzo, dzięki Wam nasz pobyt na przepięknej wyspie Sao Miguel był jeszcze bardziej przyjemny i będziemy bardzo miło wspominać ten czas.

This was by far the worst AirBnB experience (and accommodation experience for that matter) we've ever had. We were excited to stay at this property based on the positive reviews and the gorgeous photos of the swimming pool. Our initial communication with Jaime was strange and abrupt, but we chalked it up to a language barrier, as others had mentioned. The property is in the ground floor of an old and run-down building. The photos make it look charming- it is not. The amenities provided are extremely basic and make a hostel seem luxurious, the decor is extremely dated and strange (ie caricatures of barely clad busty women). There is a 5Euro charge for laundry, the hand soap provided in the washroom was an old half used bar of soap (1 in the shower as well, which I suppose Jaime is counting as 'shampoo'). We were immediately struck by an overwhelming smell- dank, musty, mildew. We noticed an old noisy dehumidifier running and decided to give it a chance to do its thing hoping it would resolve the situation. We decided to check out the swimming pool as this was the reason we had booked the property. To our surprise, the pool had not been maintained and was a filthy, slimy, green swamp- completely unusable. Such a disappointment! It also became apparent that the photos were taken quite awhile ago and the property has not been maintained. We contacted Jaime to ask what was going on and he didn't respond to us until the morning we checked out. In short, our stay there was absolutely terrible. We were unable to get any sleep due to the noisy dehumidifier, we noticed signs of mould and mildew on the walls, as well as bubbles in the paint due to moisture damage, our sinuses flared up due to the air quality. We tried to find another place to stay but unfortunately Caloura is pretty small and we were unable to do so so we toughed it out for 2 days. Fortunately AirBnB issued us a refund due to the pictures provided, but it doesn't really make up for the dreadful experience.

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Great location and all re-done. I would definitely recommend staying here, especially if you're looking for an authentic feel. The main house and garden is beautiful.

A hidden gem! We arrives and discovered local cheese and bread waiting for us on the kitchen table, a nice surprise. This unique apartment is located on the side a mansion, with a safe gated wall surrounding it all. The mansion wasn't occupied so the beautiful gardens (the smell of the flowers is amazing) and patios were ours alone to enjoy. The apartment has high ceilings, nice kitchen and a good bathroom, perfect for a couple. Location is great, we could hear the ocean from inside the apartment and it's centrally located (tasty restaurant a 1 minute walk away). I'd say it would be 10 to 30 minutes to drive almost anywhere on the island. The host doesn't speak much English, but we used (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) translator to message him with the few requests we had. On request the housekeeper came and did our laundry, gave us a tour of the mansion (Like a museum, antiques roadshow up there!) and cleaned our place. Again, she spoke minimal English, but with the free WIFI (worked great), we got along with (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) translations. We actually extended our stay at Casa Grande we loved it so much. Thanks Jaime and Carmen for making our visit so special!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Grande. Our host, Jaime was very kind and made us feel very welcome. The house is just amazing with beautiful gardens to wander around and a fantastic swimming pool. The house is located about a two minute walk from a small harbour. There is a small pool made out of the rocks or a cordoned off area to swim in the sea and there are life guards. Beside the harbour is a lovely fish restaurant serving freshly caught fish. Hiring a car is essential not only for traveling to Caloura but for visiting around the whole island. We would strongly recommend a stay with Jaime at Casa Grande and we will certainly be going back again(URL HIDDEN)

Excelente estadia! O apartamento tinha boas condições para os nossos interesses (família com crianças). Boa localização, no campo, perto da praia e a poucos Kms de Ponta Delgada, de onde era possível sair para qualquer lado da ilha. O anfitrião foi bastante simpático e tudo fez para nos acolher e receber bem, sempre preocupado com o nosso conforto. Foram igualmente excelentes as dicas que nos deu sobre restaurantes e sítios a visitar. Recomendo!

António et son frère ont étés de merveilleux hôtes. Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour sur leur île et dans leur logement. Tout était parfait. Les hôtes étaient toujours accessibles et à l'écoute. Le logement est très bien placé, bien équipé, confortable et au calme. Je recommande vivement.

A fantastic place to stay, 10 mins walk from the beach and a great bar / restaurant. Well equipped apartment, really good value for money, a friendly welcome and excellent service. Many thanks for a great holiday.

The appartment was great! Even more better than the pictures. António was not there at the moment, but his brother. Warm welcome and António did even come later to introduce himself. I would certainly recommend this appartment to others.

We lived in Antonio's friend house in Lagoa . Great house, great host, great people, great food!! :) really recommended!!

Wir hatten wunderbare Tage auf Sao Miguel! Das Apartment war schön gelegen und wir konnten von dort aus mit unserem Mietauto die fantastische Insel erkunden. Wir haben uns sofort willkommen und sehr wohlgefühlt. Danke für die tolle Zeit. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Nice location between the coast line and town centre. The inside of the building was very nice and comfortable.

We never met Antonio but we were met by his brother. He was waiting up for us .we arrived after midnight! ,!! Next morning he knocked on the door with delicious warm bread .. The apartment was nice and clean . It was very cozy. We liked it so much we returned once again. Thanks Mia

Andreia went out of her way to help me with an earlier check in, and was helpful with anything I needed. Place was cozy, tucked away in a little village off one of the secondary highways and about 20-25 minutes from PDL with easy access to Furnas and Lagoa da Fogo.

Hübsch eingerichtete Wohnung in mitten eines kleinen Dörfchen. Es war sauber und wir wurden von Andreias Freund gut empfangen.

Andreia был отличный хозяин, дружелюбный и обеспокоен тем, что все в доме был well.The квартире хорошо это все, что нужно, находится в тихом районе relaxante.Forma очень хороший день. Я настоятельно рекомендую

Great time in a great place. Very comfortable house nestled in a neat little community. Highly recommended!

La estancia fue agradable. La casa pareció muy limpio y fue exactamente como se describe. Es una zona muy tranquila, pero tiene cobertura para teléfonos móviles más bien limitada. Andreia fue muy útil en direcciones para encontrar la casa.

Unser Flugzeug war spät und Andreia alle haben uns in sehr gutem Zustand trotz dieser gegen die Zeit zu begrüßen. Die Unterkunft ist sehr sauber und passt die Beschreibung.

Andrea hat uns vom Flughafen abgeholt und war sehr nett. Die Unterkunft ist wirklich SEHR klein und für einen längeren Aufenthalt, so wie wir mit 11 Nächten, definitiv zu klein. Wir haben vorzeitig ausgecheckt. Keine Möglichkeit das Fenster i d. Nacht offen zu lassen und es wurde ziemlich stickig (Schimmelgeruch). Die erste Nacht war wirklich schlimm, da wir jede Feder der Matratze gespürt haben. Andrea hat aber sofort eine neue besorgt und war sonst auch sehr hilfsbereit. Wir würden aber nicht mehr buchen. Ein Auto wird auf jeden Fall benötigt.

Great place to get some real rest, relaxing moment and get intouch with nature! Andreia was super nice! The house had everything needed! Special surprise with the locals, we even had groceries coming to your step, basics like fruit and vegetable, bread and some protines. No wifi no calls. Just pure bliss!!

I would definitely recommend staying at any of Helder's properties as he is very friendly and helpful for those with any travel questions. Of all the Airbnb places I've stayed in, Helder has been the most professional, gracious, and thoughtful host. My husband and I are already trying to plan a trip back to São Miguel and will certainly be reserving a place with Helder. The neighborhood is beautiful, safe, and quiet, as is all of the island.

szívélyes vendéglátás, gyönyörű hely, közel a strand, nagy szoba

This place is very much your place for the duration of your stay. Helder strikes the perfect balance between giving you your privacy and being an attentive host. He also rents cars, which I wish I knew before we got the there. Our bed was super comfortable, we had the best rest of our trip here. Our place had magnificent sunsets every evening. The bathroom is spacious, the kitchen is well-equipped and Helder is kind and will lend you anything you're short on. He also makes delicious orange cake.

This was our first week in Azores, and it couldn't have been a better start. The bed is huge and super comfy, the kitchen has exactly what you need with a very high quality stove (this is awesome if you love cooking!), the garden is very spacious and beautifully landscaped with so many bright flowers, the balcony has such a soothing seaview and is perfect for sitting and writing, reading a book, or having coffee or dinner. Location is perfect, not even 5 minute walk to the gorgeous , wide beach, and also just 20 min walk into Agua da Pau. But I'd come back especially because Helder and Ruben are such friendly, truly caring, superb hosts who went out of their way to make sure we were happy and comfortable, and we had a really great time hanging out with them. Hope to be back soon!

Es war ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt in der Suite und die Betreuung durch den Gastgeber war super und so haben wir uns runum wohl gefühlt.

Helder est soucieux du bien-être de ses hôtes. Sa maison est située au centre de l'île ce qui permet de rayonner facilement. Le logement est équipé de tout le nécessaire. Un parking est à disposition au sein de la propriété. Nous y avons passé un très agréable séjour !

Helder is a great host and a good guy- from the bottom of his heart. When we arrived his maid let us in and we met him a few days after. In my opinion Caloura is one of the nicest spots of Sao Miguel. The sea is just a 5 mins walk away, the beach around 15 mins. Great area! The apartment is ideal for two people, theres a small kitchen, the bedroom and the balcony witht the seaview. The bathroom is quite big. In the garden there's lounge chairs. From Caloura you can easily reach Furnas and Ponta Delgada. I think Helder gives the best value for money. He even offered us to swap the towels. I think if had asked for anything else, he would have helped us out. We were very happy to have chosen his place :)

Great stay, great host, great house, spacious, clean, big garden The location of the house couldn't be better, center of the island, perfect for trip. You will need a car, best way anyway to visit the island. People of the Azores are so kind and willing to help us when needed!!! The host were so helpful, he got a baby crib for our son, that's really kind. If you are looking for a stay, that is the best, I guarantee it!! On my next trip there, I will go back there!!

La casa en Água D'Alt és bonic, meravellós la vista de l'Atlàntic. Particularment gaudit He tots els matins la sortida del sol sobre les muntanyes fins al mar. És tranquil i es pot tot el necessari (com anar de compres dins, restaurants, etc.) dins d'un curt període de temps. Ens van donar una càlida benvinguda i benvingut ja es van encarregar de tot per a un petit esmorzar al matí següent. Les imatges i la descripció corresponen exactament a les condicions locals. Vam tenir una molt agradable vacances a Vilafranca.

The listing was even more breathtaking than the photos. Margarida was always responsive in a timely manner and their maid Nelia greeted us with a smile and had stocked the kitchen with essentials which proved very helpful.

This is a very beautiful house in a small farming village; very clean and comfortable. We did not meet Margarida but we were in contact with her father and did meet him near the end of the stay. The living room area in the house has 3 floor to ceiling walls, with amazing views. There is a supermarket a few minutes away by car. I would highly recommend this house.

The house is amazing, beautiful , peaceful and the host was very kind. The house is really really amazing! I want to repeat this experience in Azores and in this particularly house . Thank you for everything .

Me and a friend stayed at this beautiful house for 4 days and loved the mix of rustique and modern. The house has a private location, very tranquil which we loved. You almost definitely need a car though. And remember that these old stone houses do get quite cold during the evenings/nights. Some minor issues with the hot water and electricity but it was taken care of right away. Very friendly and helpful hosts from the beginning and throughout! Would recommend a stay here.

para cada um dos observação da natureza em um cenário magnífico ama um lugar muito inspirador

Provavelmente a melhor casa onde já fiquei através do AirBnb. A casa é magnífica com uma vista soberba com vista para o ilhéu de Vila Franca. Fomos muito bem recebidos e recomendo a quem queira ter umas óptimas férias!

Extraordinary value, privacy and natural beauty. Also close to nice beaches and towns. Highly recommended. Very kind welcome to the island.

We had a great time at the Azores. The house was big and very clean and is has beautiful view at the see. We saw dolphins! Our host Helder is a very nice guy. He arranged a car fot us. He is very friendly and hospitable. He has a few amazing apartments!

We had the friendliest welcome ever in my airbnb experience. In the lovely small house some bread, cheese, fresh fruits and a bottle of wine was waiting for us. Catarina’s parents were really helpful with all questions we had and gave us additional advices what to do on Sao Miguel. In the house you find everything needed for a perfect holiday. The neighborhood is calm but still the town where the house is located is perfectly central for all trips around the island. In January, we were really unlucky with the weather. A lot of rain and a storm, unfortunately, led to leak in the roof. However, after we contacted Catarina to tell her the problem she instantly looked for a solution. We would definitely book this airbnb again!

De ontvangst door de ouders van Catarina is zeer gastvrij en behulpzaam, ze geven je alle informatie die je nodig hebt. Het onderkomen bestaat uit 1 ruimte, waarin bed, eethoek, keuken en afgescheiden badkamer. Het interieur is schoon en fris. Helaas is er geen eigen terras bij. Het onderkomen ligt vlak naast een drukke weg met veel verkeerslawaai. Niet geschikt voor een langer verblijf.

We've had a great time! Catarinas father was very friendly and welcoming, giving us lots of tips of where we should go and what to see. Milou the dog is also very cute and loves to play. A very nice touch was the little welcome pack waiting for us, that consisted of local foods like bread, milk, cheese, tea, juice and an Azorean pineapple. All the essentials were there, even for a little cooking. The address the website gives you is a little bit off, but we received a detailed description of how to reach the place beforehand and that works very well. I can very much recommend the little place (I think it was a garage once upon a time, that got converted, but you have everything you need and can easily enjoy the sun, view and coffee in front of the house). Thanks very much for a great time!!!

Accommodation was great as were the hosts. Room / ensuite was very clean and functional. Supermarkets, restaurants and cafe's close by. Cafe's and restuarants have wifi. Host had suggested getting a hire car at airport and we have to agree that this is a good option. Host picked us up at airport as we had booked a car for the day after we arrived. We were treated very well by Catarina's mother during our stay and thank her for this. We did not expect such great hospitality! Caloura is a good, quiet central base for touring Sao Miguel. Internet access at B&B is hard wired and not wifi. This was not a problem for us given wifi access was available elsewhere.

Es un lugar prático, si lujos pero funcional.

I spend a couple of nights in the simpatic apartment which is located in a great place. A beautiful beach is close and the village offers any infrastructure necessary. We were very well received by the owners of the house that are very friendly giving you any information requested. The small house is very cosy and equipped with all basic things. I would always come back.

We (my partner and I) spent ten days at Catarina's place in Caloura and could not have been any luckier with it: The welcome by her parents was very, very warm-hearted and friendly from the beginning, and they provided us with lots of kind help and information throughout our entire stay - even the fridge was pre-filled upon our arrival! They also have a very cute and friendly dog (Milou), but to our regret they just wouldn't let us take him back home to Germany... But no worries, in case you don't feel very comfortable around dogs, our hosts were very attentive to our reaction to him and first made sure that we were both okay with him being around. The place itself was a) very, very clean, cozy, and well-maintained and b) exactly the way it looks and is described here. Among the highlights is its proximity to two different beaches both of which are in walking distance, one of them guarded and the other one almost private (we sometimes even had it all to ourselves!). To give you the fullest possible picture, the only minor drawback might be that the house is situated next to a road which, while not very frequented, can be quite loud at times when there are cars passing through. But since you probably won't spend your entire stay inside, this shouldn't be much of a problem - and for what it's worth, we both got used to it after two days. All in all, this is really a great place with wonderful hosts and we are happy to give it our highest recommendation without any reservation. Looking forward to next time!

Adoramos a experiência! A Caloura é um sítio lindo e excelente para se ficar alojado e conhecer a linda ilha de S. Miguel! A Casa é muito simpática, bem decorada, confortável e tem tudo o que é necessário! Fomos mutíssimo bem recebidos pela D. Paula e pelo Senhor Manuel, que nos deram informações muito úteis e que estiveram sempre disponíveis para apoiarem a nossa estadia. O nosso filho tambem adorou conhecer a Lovely Beach House da Caloura e não se esquecerá do enérgico Milú e do peixe grelhado servido no porto da Caloura! Muito obrigado pelo vosso acolhimento e pela vossa simpatia, foram uns anfitriões fantásticos! Teresa, Jorge e Miguel

Accueil bien organisé par Joao, et maison charmante conforme à la description: rustique, confort de base, décoration qui parle de l'histoire de la maison, terrasse verdoyante avec une belle vue sur l'océan, calme (un peu à l'écart du village, dans un groupe de 3 maisons, voisins très discrets), propre. A 10 minutes à pied de la plage, et 10 minutes en voiture du supermarché Sol et Mar. Et bien sûr la grande gentillesse des Açoréens. Fortement recommandée si vous acceptez un confort simple.

We would like to thank to Jo for the fantastic time we had in Rustic House!!! It was really brilliant place with perfect landscapes and views around! All things in the house were gathered with love and they created very pleasant atmosphere to relax and have unforgettable vacations on Azores! For the family there is no place better to find! Everything was under hand, good yard always to be interested with something, beautiful plants and flowers, nice gardener :) Everyehing we could say is our GREAT THANKS to Jo and his family who cared us during our staying in Villa Franca on Azores. Definitely, when we come Azores again we will stay at Rustic House. We will miss this place and people there :).

Jorge was a generous and accessible host. He communicated well, responded promptly to our messages, and remained available throughout our stay. His rustic house, located in the small hamlet of Lugar da Praia, is as advertised and includes all the basics needed for a comfortable stay -- yoga mats included! Upon arrival, Jorge had generously provided a taste of traditional foods -- fruits, baked goods, and some excellent locally produced cheese. What a wonderful treat and a great introduction to the Azorean way! The property is well located, and a perfect jumping off point for exploring all corners of São Miguel island. At night, we were treated to the unique summer-time call of the cagarros bird. In the morning we awoke to the call of village dogs and roosters. The light sleeper should be advised that the only road into / out of the hamlet runs adjacent to the house, and is well travelled. Thanks again to Jorge for a simple and authentic experience; a great location; and genuine hospitality!

Una casa muy agradable en lo alto de una colina. Buenas vistas y con ambiente rural. Buen jardín para disfrutar del sol y barbacoa para cocinar pescado o lo que tu quieras. No conocimos a Joao en persona, pero no hizo falta. Muy buena comunicación con el y nos dejó todo lo necesario para que pasasemos los días agusto. Conocimos a Silvinno que fue el alma de nuestra estancia. Muy agradecidos por todo.

Joao is a very kind host. Thanks for the food and drinks on arrival. It's nice after a long flight. Thanks to the neighbors for their kindness, helpfulness and delicious vegetables. Rustic House is indeed rustic. A little primitive, like the pictures, and with a really great location close to beautiful local beaches and an enchanting waterfall where you can swim. The children were ecstatic! Rustic House, Villa do Franco and Sao Miguel is wonderful and we are pretty sure that we visit the island again.

Jorge's country house is true to the photos and is a very charming place to enjoy a rustic vacation in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. We stayed during the winter months and had the hearth going the whole stay, which Jorge taught us how to use and how to cook in. We woke up in the morning to the sounds of the village and roosters, which is probably what I'll remember most. I was truly happy to "get away" when we finally made it here. We hope to visit the house again sometime, and visit more of the Azores, too.

We enjoyed our 10 days stay in Joao's stone house. The view over the valley and ocean was spectacular and we spent many lovely times enjoying the view over a morning coffee, a glass of wine, a meal cooked on the bbq. We enjoyed our daily visits with Sylvan and his endless contributions of local produce, and flowers! And the many ways we could communicate with each other. In between rainshowers, clouds and sunshine we were able to explore so much on the island, beautiful hikes, trying out the different hotsprings, wandering through villages, an afternoon out on a boat to see whales and dolphins. The house is very well located, but we found car to be essential. Easy drive to supermarket and lots of fresh produce available as well local cheeses and wines. You can walk down to the beach via shortcut. It wasn't warm enough to swim, but you can sit at the bar on a sunny day and enjoy the view, sound and smell of the sea over a glass of local wine or beer. We ate several times at a good fish restaurant overlooking sea in Caloura, charming, good food and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend Joao's house for your stay on St. Miguel.

We loved our stay at Rustic House. The home was exactly as described and we were comfortable. We enjoyed being so close to the nice beach and the location was convenient for many day trips to hiking, hot baths, and good food. Thank you Joao so much for the welcoming food.

We had a very nice time during our holidays on the island. The house is old, but very charming and well equipped, we found everything we needed. The description was prezise, everything was how we expected it. Tiago was a good host. He responded quickly by e-mail, gave us a warm welcome and helped immediatly, when he was needed. We can highly recommend him as a host for holidays at São Miguel.

O espaço do Eduardo é muito agradável, em uma área residencial rural muito verde. A área do jardim é muito bem cuidada e bonita. A recepção de sua irmã Maria, foi excepcional, com uma cesta de presentes locais de muito bom gosto! Deve-se levar em conta que a casa é muito antiga, o que confere muito charme a ela. Tudo estava muito bem limpo, com toalhas cheirosas e bem organizado. Há dois restaurantes próximos do local. Recomendo a Vila Eduarda para aqueles que desejam ter uma experiência mais próxima do povo Micaelense.

My sister and I had a wonderful time at Vila Eduardo. The house is beautiful and comfortable. It was fully equipped, in case you want to wash clothes or make a meal. The bed I slept in had a good mattress and was comfortable. I loved the gardens, so peaceful and beautiful. There are plenty of chairs, and a table under the porch. Great views of the neighboring mountains. Eduardo and his sister responded quickly to any questions that we had and were friendly and helpful. When we arrived there was a basket of local fresh foods and coffee which was greatly appreciated. This house is in a great location on the island. Caloura is a great town to be in and very convenient to the highway and other points of interest. One thing you must do if you stay there is walk to the end of the road (turn left when you go out the gate). There is an amazing beach of volcanic rock with protected pools of water that you can swim in. The view is stunning. Eduardo has provided lots of written information about the island so you can plan your day trips and visit the best restaurants. The private parking is very good, you can drive in the gate and park next to the house. I highly recommend this house!

We were warmly welcomed to Vila Eduarda by Maria, Eduardo's Sister, with freshly baked local bread, cheese and pastries. This was totally unexpected and made us feel right at home. After a quick tour of the house we knew that there will not be anything missing, as the house has fully equipped kitchen, with all amenities necessary for a great stay. The house is locates in a close proximity to the beach with other beaches within close driving distance for those who are looking for variety. The highway is close to the house so and easy and quick access to any place around the island was not an issue. We loved the quietness and privacy of the house, although we spent most of the time exploring the island. We will come back with our memories to the Island of Sao Miguel, and Vila Eduarda many times and will be recommending this house to our friends. Also, prior to our arrival the communication with Eduardo was excellent. His quick, fulfilling response made our trip planning easier. He recommended the best local restaurants (seafood and steaks) so we did not have to look for good local food after the day of island exploration. Thank you very much Maria and Eduardo for this memorable stay at Sao Miguel in Vila Eduarda. Until next time Basia and Lukasz

This was our first experience with Airbnb and it couldn't have been better! Eduardo and Maria are wonderful hosts and communicated well both before and during our stay. The house is gorgeous and you need only to walk across the street to see beautiful views of mountains, farmland and the ocean. and is a 10 minute walk from the harbor. Be sure to eat at Bar Caloura for lunch. You are overlooking the water and you go to a glass case to pick out your seafood which is then cooked and served at your table . It was the best meal we had on the island hands down! The house is cozy and charming. The only surprise we had was that the house does not have any central heating. We came at the end of April and it was quite chilly at night. There are space heaters available but you can only use one at a time in the house. We were able to make it work and were quite comfortable but it took a little coordination for that to happen. All in all it was a wonderful vacation and we would stay at Eduardo's place again. Thank you for our latest adventure! Lori and Jim

Für Natur und Ruhige Menschen super geeignet

Nous sommes venus plusieurs fois à Sao Miguel dans différents hotels ou locations et la villa Eduarda est notre préférée, la maison est ravissante et très bien décorée, les lits très confortables. Le jardin est charmant el la maison est idéale pour une famille avec ses 3 chambres mais aussi juste à deux en amoureux ! Nous recommandons vraiment cette belle maison située dans le plus joli village de l'ile : Caloura à 10 minutes seulement de la ville et 20 minutes de l'aéroport. Merci Maria pour votre accueil très chaleureux et les délicieux gateaux de Villa Franca

Super séjour. Maria nous avons bien été accueilli par Maria et la maison est très belle, calme et à quelques minutes de la mer. Merci pour tout!!!!

Galera Cottage é um paraíso na terra! Literalmente. É um belo cenário com uma vista deslumbrante sobre o Oceano Atlântico, uma localização perfeita para visitar os lugares mais bonitos na ilha de São Miguel. Nós hospedado aqui para 5 noites / dias e Entes absolutamente tudo sobre ele. A localização é perfeita, muito perto de restaurantes e Ponta Delgada e, ao mesmo tempo, extremamente isolado em uma pequena baía - que por sinal é um dos lugares mais bonitos que já vi nesta ilha. 3 minutos a pé da praia (com piscinas naturais). 15 minutos de carro para Ponta Delgada. Os anfitriões são simplesmente o mais doce. Tivemos tudo o que necessário para o pequeno almoço - eles encheram o frigobar com produtos locais e todos foi tão deliciosa. Fomos recebidos com uma recepção calorosa e foram mostrado a bela propriedade que data de 1630 - com uma charmosa capela com afrescos originais !! Surpreendente. A casa em si é muito limpo, confortável, com todas as comodidades necessárias. Havia dias em que só queria ficar em casa e desfrutar de toda essa beleza. Temos de ver o pôr do sol mais incríveis a partir da varanda. Você também pode adormecer ao som do oceano se você deixar as janelas abertas à noite. Passamos 5 dias mágicos neste lugar e esperamos voltar em breve! Obrigado a Francisco e sua família incrível. Totalmente recomendo este lugar se você estiver em São Miguel - Eu não pode encontrar em qualquer lugar melhor realmente.

The cottage is in a quiet lovely area with a beautiful garden and a fantastic view. The cottage has everything you need, even more! The shower ist absolutely great. A rainforest shower head and pretty tiles ;) We just enjoyed sitting in the garden, such a relaxing and fantastic spot on earth. Francisco is a great host! Helpful, kind, he makes the stay really comfortable. He also gave us loads of suggestions and helped where ever he could. Francisco and his family are lovely and warm people. Thank you very much for everything!

Francisco angeordnet uns in Lagoa vom Flughafen auf dem Weg zu treffen, damit wir leichter das Haus zu finden. Seine Familie zu Hause ist wunderschön - ein altes Weingut, das mit seiner eigenen Kapelle zu seinem Großvater gehörte. Der umgebaute Weinlagerhaus hat einen herrlichen Garten und Aussicht

Francisco's cottage is a beautiful and very cosy place located on the most fabulous spot in Sao Miguel... Warm regards to him and his family.

We found Francisco to be a great host; kind, generous and flexible. He gave us great recommendations about where to eat and where to go swimming. A lovely small beach is just a 5 minute walk from the property, and a fabulous restaurant within 10 to15 minutes. The cottage itself is gorgeous and beautifully located- looks better than in the pictures. It has a very relaxing feel. The views from the cottage are great - we enjoyed a beautiful sunset and a very nice view of Ponta Delgada. I highly recommend it.

casa bonita e encantadora, com magníficas vistas do mar, em uma área tranquila. Ainda melhor do que as fotos! Aconchegantes, acolhedor, informativo e útil. Great stay!

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez Isabel et Manuel,tout était exactement comme décris .Le calme,le point de vue magnifique,le jardin trés fleuries,la maison confortable et très bien équipée et très propre. Les bons conseils pour faire les courses,les bons restaurants particulièrement un très bon restaurant de poissons ,les endroits a visiter sur l ile. La Vila Bela est très bien situé pour visiter l ile et dans une très belle région proche d une piscine naturel. Mais le plus important c est l'accueil chaleureux d Isabel et Manuel qui sont des personnes chaleureuses et accueillantes. C est avec grand plaisir que nous y retournerons .

The house is quite small, but good enough for 2 people. The view from the terrace, tough, is amazing and Caloura is definitely one of the best places to stay in São Miguel.

This place can only be recommended! We were picked up by Isabel and her husband at the airport eventhough we had a car - so Isabel rode with us and showed the way to their little pearl of a house. The house had a perfect location for us - quiet area between the nice little town and the beautiful Caloura harbour. And a fantastic view over the ocean! We had the smallest of the three houses but it worked for us. Especially because of the terrace where we spend our evenings. The couple - Isabel and King, were very welcoming, friendly and warm. They wanted to talk and were interested i us, and still respected our privacy. We ended up watching euro finals with them and their family. Our son (11 months) felt at home and we saw that Isabel and King took a genuine like to him. He played with them and the cats and borrowed some toys - we don't know who had more fun! It was good to have a babysitter... All in all a home away from home.

Isabel and Manuel are great host, they make you feel at home. A recommander sans réserve, une vraie expérience azoréenne!

Des hôtes extraordinaires qui nous ont fait sentir à la maison. Très conscient que rien ne manquait et nous a dit endroits que nous aimions visiter tous les jours. Une grande famille

The host canceled this reservation 61 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The house is wonderful! The location is pretty deserted but everything is easily accesible by car. The house was very cosy and we couldn't have wished for anything better!

Casa muito confortável com tudo que você precisa. Limpo e arrumado. Grande jardim. Localizado numa zona tranquila, com bons acessos de carro. Estacionamento na casa. ambiente muito tranquilo, sem vizinhos próximos e 10 minutos piscina e mar.

Zeer mooi huis en super mooie locatie! Azoren zuidkust! Ontbijttafel onder de zon in de voorkant van het huis;) Voor een stormachtige winterseizoen zou een warm vest en wollen sok moet gezellig in Portugies stijl stenen huis voelen. Mari-Liis & Marc

Очень уютный еще просторный дом с большим садом в хорошем месте, чистый, очень дружелюбный прием и легко доступны и близко ко всему, если у вас есть автомобиль. Бутылка вина, кусок местного сыра и ананаса с острова ждали нас, когда мы приехали.

Nice house. Though it could have been a bit cleaner and the house was a bit dark. But apart from this, we had a nice stay. José was flexible with check-in time and the house had a really nice garden!

Véritable maison et l'atmosphère dans un endroit doux. Intérieur de bon goût, très bon accueil. Beaucoup recommandable.

La maison si elle est très calme et paisible. L'hôte nous a laissé un peu de nourriture agréable de bienvenue (fromage, vin, fruits, etc.) donc nous avions quelque chose à manger quand nous sommes arrivés tard dans la nuit. La maison dispose de tous les ustensiles de cuisine pour pouvoir cuisiner. Aussi est-il d'une télévision et WiFi. Dans le village de Agua de Pau vous trouverez les (petits) supermarchés que vous avez besoin. Ceci est un 10-15 minutes à pied de la maison. Ou vous pouvez aller à la Caloura bar / restaurant pour un bon repas. Il y a aussi des meubles de jardin qui vous permet de vous détendre et prendre un repas à l'extérieur (à côté du barbecue).

Schönes Landhaus, rustikal romantisch mit schönem Strand in der Nähe.

Definitely felt most welcome and the hosts provided us everything we needed for our six month old. The space in the house is amazing, the view is stunning and the location is great, close to Caloura town and local shops and restaurants. Also well located to travel anywhere on the island. The wifi is perfect. We would definitely go back and stay in the same house. Incredible island and a must visit.

We stayed at the casa for four nights. Sara had a couple of her friends meet us at the house and show us around. Sara and her friends were all very nice and accommodating. The house itself was wonderful. Probably way more room than the two of us needed, but it was well worth the money. The house was clean, very well decorated and safe. There was also a garage for our car which was very nice. We would definitely stay again, thanks so much Sara!

Had a great stay at Sara's house in Caloura for a few days. The house has a very spacious living area, and the balcony and pool views are unreal. Tricky to find at first, but I got the hang of it quickly. Would definitely love to stay here again for a longer period of time.

Spaceous house, with nice oceanview from the balcony. We had lovely evenings there. Poolarea is nice. Also with great oceanviews! Sometimes a bit crowdy. Unfortunately the house is quite damp. Especially the first days it had a bad smell. The interieur is just like the pictures. The washingmachine a bit rusty, but it works. No dryer.

La casa esta situada en una de las mejoras zonas de la isla, las vistas son fantasticas y las instalaciones muy buenas. La casa es comoda y espaciosa, ideal para 3 parejas. La urbanizacion, privada con una piscina, pista de tenis y zona para poder dejar el coche. La casa tambien tiene garaje. Al llegar encontramos una cesta con productos de la zona y como viajabamos con un bebe encontramos una cuna, un asiento y una silla para que pudiera comer en la mesa con nosotros. Fantastico! Muchas gracias Sara. Por poner alguna pega la maquina de cafe no es la que aparece en las fotos por lo que no valian las capsulas que llevamos en el viaje. Todo perfecto, sin duda volveria a repetir alojamiento en la isla.

The host was not there but the representative, Jorge was very accommodating to our needs!

Sara's home was a wonderful base for a week in Sao Miguel. She had someone meet us at the gate and lead us to the unit. The complex was a bit difficult to find at first. I'd recommend (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) mapping Aparthotel Do Mirante Caloura before arriving. The home was as described and very spacious. Kitchen was equipped with enough to make a few meals from home. There is only a Nespresso machine and no pods and nowhere that we could find to buy them. If coffee is your thing in the morning you'll need to create a makeshift system or head out. Besides that I would definitely recommend this home for anyone making the trip to the Azores and hope to visit again one day myself.

A estadia na casa da Sara foi excelente. Começou com uma comunicação muito fácil e direta com a Sara que sempre mostrou muita disponibilidade. Na chegada a casa fomos surpreendidos com a amabilidade dos proprietários que nos deixaram alguns artigos típicos dos Acores. A casa é super espaçosa e com tudo o que é essencial para uma excelente estadia.

I would recomend Dieter's place to anyone who's coming on Sao Miguel, planty of free parking, and only short drive away from Ponta Delgada. Hose is very well maintained, clean and cozy. Dieter is super friendly and full of usefull info about the island.

The owner is a young guy, really kind and generous, the best that you can expect. He was really available for the time of the check in and even if we arrived so late he was waiting for us for all the day, ready to welcome us. the apartament is very comfortable for four person and it is very equipped with all the pots and the pans. Also the two bathroom were good and clean. The apartament is 20 minutes far from Ponta Delgada and is in a really good position because is in a central location and you can easily visit both west and owest part of the island. Personally, I really recommend this apartment!

Appartement très propre et spacieux, avec une grande terrasse notamment pour griller. Hôte très serviable. Appartement situé dans une rue passante (bruit des voitures), quelques aboiements de chiens pendant la nuit peuvent déranger.

Great place! Astonishing view. Close to many local restaurants. Proximity to island highway helping transit to various interest points. Loved our evenings by the camp fire watching the ocean. Cooking a pizza in the wood oven was quite an experience!! Thanks

Anabela and Sário are the kindest and flexible hosts. The house is fantastic, comfortable and tastefully decorated. It has a kitchen equipped with everything needed for cooking. In the garden there are sofas and sun chairs where we spent very nice moments to enjoy the fantastic views of the sea and sunset. We spent 4 unforgettable days in the house. Thanks for everything and Anabela & Sário!

We een prachtige locatie! We waren hier met 6 volwassenen en het huis was heerlijk ruim. Vanaf s morgens vroeg tot s avonds laat de zon op het ruime terras met een heerlijke lounchset met uitzicht op zee. Voor wandelaars een eiland wat je absoluut moet gaan ontdekken. En dichtbij in het vissershaventje kun je verse vis eten bij Bar Caloura. Voor andere restaurants kun je beter naar Lagoa rijden. We hebben een fantastische week gehad.

Our host was charming and very kind. We were greeted by Ema at the gate and she guided us to the property. Ema showed us around the home and answered all our questions. She was kind to come help us get into the house one evening when we were having trouble with the side door lock.

The house has an excellent location in a quiet, central to visit the island.

A casa ea propriedade foram bela. Ema e Romana foram muito aconchegantes e até mesmo nos deixou uma bandeja cheia de lanches locais e guloseimas. A localização é em uma comunidade, tranquila fechado com uma excelente vista sobre o oceano.

Het uitzicht vanuit het appartement is prachtig. Het appartement zelf is zeer ruim, schoon en comfortabel. Het is echt een juweeltje. De locatie is niet al te ver van Ponta Delgada en heeft een gemakkelijke toegang tot de belangrijkste snelweg. Maar je hebt een auto nodig om rond te krijgen. Het is nogal een wandeling naar de stad en er is niet veel te verkennen. We combineren onze verblijf met een paar dagen in Ponta Delgada en het is gewoon perfect! Zou het leuk vinden om hier weer terug te keren!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We loved all the amenities it offered. The location made traveling around the island easy. We would highly recommend this to anyone.

Bon accueil du frère de l'hôte. Hôte attentionné qui a répondu à nos demandes spécifiques. Maison très propre, très vaste avec terrasse et vue sur mer à partir de la grande salle à manger. Bon accès internet et grande télévision. Idéalement située pour Lago de Fugos, Furnas et côte Nord. Les premiers lacs du côté de Sete Cidades sont à 50 min environ.

A casa é uma delícia e muito aconchegante. Espaçosa e confortável. A anfitriã foi muito atenciosa e solícita. Excelente custo beneficio. Voltaria, com certeza.
