Très bon séjour. Merci à João pour son accueil et ses conseils pour découvrir l'île! Très bon restaurant de poissons sur la plage de Caloura, à faire. Chambre sympathique, logement recommandé.

Super. Non ci sono altre parole da aggiungere. Consigliatissimo

Joao empfing uns sehr freundlich, obwohl es schon nach Mitternacht war. Das kleine Häuschen mit Außen-Küche und Garten liegt direkt hinter dem kleinen Fischerhafen (genau gesagt: es ist nur ein Haus dazwischen) und nur ein paar Schritte vom Fischrestaurant "Caloura" (sehr zu empfehlen) entfernt. Die Lage ist fantastisch, da relativ zentral auf der Insel. Wer Wert auf sehr großen Komfort legt, der ist hier sicher falsch, das Häuschen ist einfach und angemessen ausgestattet. In der Außenküche kann man kochen oder grillen. Für Individualreisende also perfekt! Wlan ging leider nicht immer, aber in der Bar Caloura gibt's freies Wifi. Der Garten ist toll (mit Bananen) und grenzt direkt an die Felsen. Caloura selbst ist ein sehr schmuckes Villenviertel, in der Ortschaft darüber (Agua de Pau) gibt's Supermarkt, Bäcker und Bank. Wir haben es sehr genossen und würden gerne wiederkommen!

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.

Ce séjour est incontestablement notre préféré. João et sa famille nous ont réservé un accueil des plus sincères et chaleureux. Ils nous ont accordé de leur temps, nous ont vraiment bien conseillé quant aux restaurants et activités incontournables de l'île. Nous avons échangé en anglais et en français car ils le comprennent et le parlent un peu et cela était plus qu'agréable. Le logement était propre, nous avons bien dormi et la vue était à couper le souffle. Merci à toute la famille! Nous recommandons ces hôtes! Kelly & Marine

Joao was a great host! They were so nice and kind. Place was easy to find and the place was lovely.

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.

I want to write a personal review Not that kind of superficially stuff I came here to relax, to set my mind free. Without the disturbing of the usual surroundings, and still to manage to explore the island around on my own, for the whole nine yard. And yes it definitely did… and more... Looking at the stars and the burning campfire, I came in a softly zen mode. Listening to close by sea, and now and then some birds discussing to each other.. The environment has a lot of privacy space and you got youre own bar with all the accessories you'll need … like a huge fridge and a freezer. A picknick table where I prepared most of my breakfast. But the real thing is, is the warm welcome of Joao … the honest people, about Really caring and Sharing things. In the world of number crunching and deadlines, let say this … this is something i really appreciated my stay at his holiday house. The local ppl, with a smile and honesty. I can't tell you about all the villages, because I didn’t meet them all. But about Joao… I can say this, All the times he doesn't want to accept my money about the extra services he delivers. It's counting for something priceless I think. He even drove me at the first day to the local supermarket, and explained about the stuff what's it about. He explained to me the whole island and hotspots. And he was telling it like a calm teacher… not driven by commercial, just want to show the greatness about Sao Miguel and telling me about hotspots and about the costs. This said about my little story …. Some facts (and I'm about facts) •Within 30 sec walk to the rock swimming pool. •Enough parking place, got even a special private place at just a 5 seconds away. •The best fish Restauraut …. On the island is nearby. But this was the best haute cuisine I experienced it. •Totally hygiene and clean. •He delivered me a mobile 3g router for in the car, so wifi hotspot on the go :D. •It's in the middle of the island, so max 50 minutes to scan out the island. But the best is, that he invited me for a personal healthy and very tasty local diner with his family, just as I was coming over as a friend. The drinks and laughs I definitely wouldn't forget about my staying at Joao place. I must say it was kind of personal enrichment for me. The fun talks, the tips and tricks about the culture, and above all the understanding that I'm a traveler, and time is precious… To finish this review, I'm just telling my story. And I'm fortunate that I met those kinds of folks … the true understanding about holidays. The enrichments about cultures and the beautiful sightseeings and … capture the real social moments in life. W-out

Paulina was waiting for us at the house. Very nice lady and she only lives 5 houses away. If you have any question you can just go around. The house is exactly as described and the view from the terrace is amazing. Lovely garden as well. Top location to discover São Miguel. We had a great time there.

Nous avons eu un accueil très chaleureux par Paulina malgré une arrivée très tardive Petite maison avec jardin très fleuri une vue imprenable sur la mer dans un petit village idéalement située pour faire le tour de l île

A Paulina é muito simpática e prestável, a casa tem uma vista linda e a praia fica mesmo abaixo da colina, com um terraço e jardim. Parece também uma boa escolha para famílias, já que há equipamento à disposição. Adorámos!

Paulina's place is a traditional stone cottage with a lot of character. I would recommend it for only two adventurous people rather than four as the loft may be a bit uncomfortable for sleeping. You need a good sense of direction and a small car to make it down the narrow street and into the gate of the house which is located on a hill. It has a nice patio overlooking the ocean where we had some of our meals. The bathroom and linens need to be upgraded.

Une fois l'accès trouvé, par le haut de la rue et en s'affranchissant du panneau de sens interdit, on découvre tout le charme d'une maison açorienne nichée dans l'écrin vert d'une pelouse dense entourée de fleurs plus belles les unes que les autres. La pièce principale avec voûte et vieux four est décorée avec beaucoup de goût, le coin cuisine est petit mais complet. La chambre très claire présente de beaux meubles anciens et une belle vue sur l'océan. La grande terrasse fleurie, avec la même vue, est le grand attrait de ce gîte très propre. Buanderie avec machine à laver, parasols terrasse et plage... Paulina très sympathique est passée plusieurs fois pour s’assurer que l’on n'avait besoin de rien. Elle ne manque pas de volonté et de goût pour offrir un coin de campagne paisible en plein village. En conclusion nous recommandons cette adresse où les heures passent au rythme du clocher (très  beau  carillon) face à l’immensité de l’océan.

Maison typique des Açores très charmante avec une belle vue sur mer. Emplacement super pour visiter l’île car très central avec un accès rapide à l'autoroute. Acceuil très chaleureux de Paulina qui à tout fait pour nous faciliter la vie avec nos 2 enfants, lit bébé, chaise haute et nous à même prêté un petit mixeur pour faire des purées du bébé. Un super logement très bon rapport qualité prix et "Familly friendly".

Es una casa típica açoriana en un pueblo pequeñito cerca del mar. Un lugar tranquilo donde pasar lindas noches en la terraza al fresco del mar. Paulina fue muy amable y una persona muy acogedora que nos contó cosas muy interesantes sobre las islas y l noche que llegamos nos dejó una cesta con productos locales para desayunar, nos encantó. La única pega es que es imprescindible disponer de vehículo porque el transporte público es muy escaso. De todos modos fue todo estupendo. Gracias Paulina!

A wonderful little house! Looks just like pictures. Tucked away in the hillside, you can see the ocean from the terrace. Absolutely beautiful. Easy to get to and a good location to explore the island from. Paulina is a gracious and very responsive host! Would certainly recommend to all :)

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.

Galera Cottage is a paradise on earth! Literally. It's a beautiful setting with an amazing view over the Atlantic ocean, perfectly located in order to visit the most beautiful spots in the island of Sao Miguel. We stayed here for 5 nights/days and loved absolutely everything about it. The location is perfect, very close to restaurants and to Ponta Delgada and at the same time extremely secluded in a small bay - which by the way is one the most beautiful places I've seen in this island. 3 minutes walk to the beach (with natural pools). 15 minutes drive to Ponta Delgada. The hosts are simply the sweetest. We had all we needed for breakfast - they filled the fridge with local products and all was so delicious. We were received with a warm welcome and were shown the beautiful property that dates from 1630 - with a charming chapel with original frescos!! Mind blowing. The cottage itself is very clean, comfortable with all needed amenities. There were days we just wanted to stay in and enjoy all that beauty. We got to see the most amazing sunsets from the balcony. You can also fall asleep to the sound of the ocean if you leave the windows open at night. We spent 5 magic days in this place and we hope to come back soon! Thank you to Francisco and his amazing family. Totally recommend this place if you're in Sao Miguel - I don't you can find any better place really.

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 arranged to meet us in Lagoa on our way from the airport so we could more easily find the house. His family home is gorgeous - an old winery that belonged to his grandfather with its own chapel. The converted wine storage house has a stunning garden and view

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 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.

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!

Eduardo's sister, Maria was a lovely host. When we arrived she took us around the village by car to make sure we knew where everything was and how to get around. We were welcomed by local specialties. The house is very spacious and quite and has most of the commodities you would be looking for. You will definitely enjoy a relaxing time in the beautiful garden !

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

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!!!!

Für Natur und Ruhige Menschen super geeignet

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

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.

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

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.

A casa da caloura está situada numa zona fantástica da ilha de S. Miguel. O condominio tem bastante privacidade e sossego, a piscina é excelente e as vistas magnificas. A casa está preparada com tudo o que é necessário para umas férias descansadas, fomos recebidos com um miminho (bolos levedos, ananás e excelentes iogurtes dos açores) e os 12 dias que passamos na casa foram umas excelentes férias. Recomendo vivamente a casa como ponto de partida para a exploração da ilha: Perto de tudo e ainda assim longe de qualquer confusão, a praia da caloura, as poças da caloura e a piscina no porto da caloura mesmo ali ao lado... enfim, só mesmo indo e experimentando é que se pode ter a noção completa

A casa é fantástica, super espaçosa mesmo com um grupo grande. A localização na ilha é óptima, com bons acessos e a envolvência do condomínio é muito bonita.

Great House, Great Location, Great Host.

We had a very nice experience staying at the Casa da Caloura. The location is quiet and perfect for a family vacation.

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.

My daughters and I enjoyed our stay in Auga de Pau very much! Our home for the week was located on a quaint street, near a fabulous fish restaurant/bar, right on the water. It was very easy to get on the highway and travel to all the other beautiful locations around the island, and we never had an issue with parking! The house was immaculate, and provided everything we needed for our stay - very comfy beds, I'll also add! We enjoyed sitting on the patio in the evening, under the enormous avocado tree, sipping wine and rehashing our day. Within the village we were able to purchase the most wonderful fresh fruits, as well as pick up wine, bread and other necessities to prepare meals. When we arrived, we were greeted by a neighbor who showed us the house and pointed out the splendid array of local breakfast items/basket left for us (teas, bread, cheese, jams, chocolate, milk, butter, fruit, yogurt, and more). We look forward to returning, and will recommend this home to friends planning to visit Sao Miguel! Thank you!!

When we arrived the host's father was there to greet us, open the house early for us, and provided fruits upon arrival. We were also given permission to pick tomatoes s and pumpkins for the garden. The location was perfect, quiet and absolutely beautiful private garden.

The front site looks like a typical small Azore house, but when you enter the house you will find a very nice, well decorated house with lots of space and a marvellous garden that leads you to the ocean. Although you cannot decent to the water it gives you a beautiful view to island Ilhéu da Vila in front of Villa Franca. The house is only 200m away from the harbour and the (natural) swimming pool. It is not far away from the main road of San Miguel so all main places are fast and easy to reach. The landlord is a very kind person who is proud at his island and knows a lot about its flora. He knows some good restaurants. If you do like fish, don't forget to go to the restaurant in the Caloura harbour.

Nos encantó la casa, la zona, la piscina natural, el restaurante a 3 minutos andando (el pescado mejor y mas fresco que nunca!), y el trato de Joao (padre de Beatriz). MUY recomendado.

Unbelievably gracious home and then unbelievably beautiful location. The home, grounds, and setting were better than described! We hate to say too many good things because we'd like it to be available to us on our return to the Azores! Manuela and Joao were so welcoming and generous with their time and information. All of us are eager to return.

We loved this place - one of our best rental experiences to date! Beautiful home, lovely relaxing yard, fully-equipped kitchen and very helpful hosts. Peaceful community with an excellent seafood restaurant a short stroll from the house. A great spot to stay with a family and convenient location for day trips to any part of the island with a rental car. We have a young child and they very kindly provided us with a large pack-n-play style cot for her to sleep in and some sweet toys on loan from their grandchildren - thank you! We loved here and hope to return!

Palacio is a fantastic house in a beautiful town outside of Ponta Delgada. It has a huge garden which could double as a botanic gardens. An excellent fish restaurant is located within a 5min walk. The owners are lovely and provided wonderful advice on places to visit, restaurants and practical info. We had a great holiday. Thanks for everything!

Great hospitality:) we arrived at 10pm: the fireplace was on, bread, cheese, fruits a bottle of wine and...eggs for breakfast:)

I can't image a better house for our group of 5. We could have had many more people and still have been perfectly comfortable. Every evening we looked forward to relaxing and socializing around the house. The only problem was the length of our stay, much too short!

We loved staying at this house. The house had everything we needed. It also had an incredible property with pool and our own mini soccer field. The location was perfect. So quiet with stunning views. We were close and accessible to everything. We would highly recommend staying here. Max was always quick to respond if we needed anything.

Max was a great host and went above and beyond. He even lent us fishing rods when we asked so we could go fishing off of the shore. He was very quick to respond if we had any issues or questions. House was in a great location with beautiful views out of every bedroom. There is lots of space inside the house and outside to enjoy your holiday.

Spacious home in perfectly central gorgeous location. Max and Ana, the owners met us at the house to welcome us and were available for all our questions. Max stopped in to drop off some local beer and cheese the first night which was very appreciated. The house was very clean. Can't say enough about how gorgeous this location is. Perfect for romantic sunsets, family dinners and a base for outdoor excursions. Perfect home for multiple families to stay. We had an amazing vacation at this fantastic house. The only less than favorable issue was limited hot water in some of the showers far from water heater. Extremely small price to pay for what this location and home offer.

Max's villa is in great location and is an great value for money. The views from every window of the villa is awesome and it is very accessible from any point of the island. Max is very helpful and ensures your stay is comfortable. He assigned a very helpful person to answer our queries and attend to it at any time of the day. We really enjoyed our 7 days of stay.

Fantastic experience, Max and Anita are wonderful hosts and made us feel extremely welcome. What a beautiful house in a stunning location. Would definitely recommend and would love to visit again!

My family of 10 enjoyed a beautiful stay at Casa do Cerco for 5 nights. The home is well equipped and location is stunning. The home is set up on a hill, the breezes are great, views are spectacular and you can walk to a small rocky beach where locals enjoy. We also rented the pool house which was well equipped. Owners, Max and Ana were very kind and hospitable and greeted us upon our arrival and departure. One evening we enjoyed a wonderful homemade Portuguese meal prepared and served in our home by Chef, Joao Botelho and his friend Ana. The home has two seating areas on the covered deck which allows for beautiful entertaining and views. If you want to see the island in comfort and with a great host, call Evaristo Melo of Big Blue Adventures, (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN). He has an 8 passenger van that can accommodate large families and is ideal for airport transfers and luggage. The pool also has a large pool which our children loved and we all enjoyed after our days of adventure. Another plus is all the great outdoor furniture, lots of places for all to sit.

A beautiful house in stunning surroundings, right next to the ocean. We had a great stay at Max's, and he was a very helpful and accommodating host for any and all of our requests. Only thing to note was that the house was in a more remote location than we expected - it is at least a 20-30min (uphill) walk back to town for shops/restaurants. But if you're looking for relaxation, peace and quiet with just the ocean and birds to listen to, this is a wonderful choice! Obrigada for all your help, Max!

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.

Great house, welcoming people, very close to the sea and beaches! Thanks for this!

We loved our stay at Joao's place. It is definitely a bit smaller and in our opinion good for 2 adults and at most 1 child. However, the place itself is cozy, very close to some of the best beaches, hikes and other areas in Sao Miguel. We went to Furnas hot spring baths 4 times while staying here! Joao himself was a great host and accommodated us checking in 1 day early. Silviano the gardener was also a delightful addition to our stay. Overall it was a fun experience with lots of fond memories.

My husband and I spent a wonderful week here for our honeymoon. Jo and his family are wonderful hosts. They left local cheese, fruit, and sweet breads for our arrival as well as a few special touches for our honeymoon. Jo is extremely helpful with things to do on the island and recommendations to eat. We enjoyed meeting him and his family during our stay. He provided extra input on things to do that really made our stay special. He also provided a local phone for us in case we needed to get in contact with him at any time which we really appreciated and made us feel secure. There is internet access at most local cafes and restaurants but it was nice knowing we could make a call if we needed to. We also took a whale watching tour with the company he works with and it was well worth it. Everyone is extremely nice and knowledgeable. The house is rustic and perfect for a quiet stay. It was nice to disconnect and relax there. It has all your basics. He provided bathing towels as well as beach type towels to go to the pools in Furnas. It is also stocked with anything you would need to cook. We spent most of our days out so we did not have the chance to but it is set up perfectly if you choose meals in. The people in the village are extremely nice and helpful. The gardener who takes care of the yard and property was great and we were able to spend some time with him during the village celebration over the weekend. The view in the morning is particularly special outside. We enjoyed hearing the roosters crow in the morning and the sun coming up. We also enjoyed the evenings being able to sit outside at the table and lounge in the yard chairs to enjoy the view again. The location of the house is very central and perfect for getting to any points around the island. It is very close to Vila Franca do Campo where we had a cafe, checked internet, and started most of our days at the Marina. The roads close to the house put you on the local route or to access the larger "freeway" roads that zip you around the island. There are plenty of places to eat and grocery within minutes. We hope to make it back to Sao Miguel soon. We really enjoyed our stay in this magical place. Thanks to Jo for his hard work on putting together his guide and being so friendly and accessible. He was a large part in helping make our trip one that will will cherish forever. We hope to see you again in the future!!

La maison est assez sombre et petite, mais très bien agencée et idéalement située pour découvrir l'île, la côte sud et les lacs (lago de Fogo, Furnas...). La terrasse et le jardin sont très agréables et bien entretenus, avec des fleurs et la mer au loin ! Jo a été très accueillant et disponible avec nous. Nous avons un soir refermé par mégarde la porte de la maison en laissant les clés dedans, et il était sur place pour nous ouvrir en seulement 20 minutes !

Casa típica dos Açores, muito agradável e acolhedora entre o campo e a cidade. Pequena mas o suficiente para passar umas boas (URL HIDDEN) pequeno jardim com espreguiçadeiras e churrasqueira, óptimo para passar finais de tarde. Jô foi muito simpático por ter deixado algumas frutas da região, compotas e pão. Sempre prestável. Agradecemos ao Sr Silvino que nos presenteou com a sua simpatia e boa disposição mas também com pequenos manjares da ilha.

This house was so great! Cosy, beautifully and caefully renovated. The minute you step in, you feel like home. Thank you so much!

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.

Paula and Manuel made us feel very welcome and more like house guests than Air B&B customers. In fact, if there is a contest for the best hosts, I nominate them ! When we arrived early in the morning Paula invited us up to the main house for breakfast.Then she took us for a tour of the village that we would be staying in so that we would know our way around. Every morning Paula suggested an itinerary and places to visit as well as good restaurants. As soon as we met these hosts they felt like old friends. We even had a birthday party together for my husband and Manuel who were born in May of the same year.

Des super hôtes très accueillant! On a était bien reçu avec des super conseil pour les activités et les restaurants.. l appartement à tous ce qui faut dans un endroit calme avec un petite plage à 5min à pieds.. bonne vacances à tous!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience! The Martins family was very lovely. Paula and Manuel (Catarina's Parents) are the best hosts I've ever had - I don't know why anyone would choose to stay in a hotel. They went out of their way to accommodate me, share their beautiful island with me, and make me feel at home. They welcomed me not only into their home but also into their family; they are truly special people. Even the family dog (Milho) was friendly and affectionate. The beach house is very clean and comfortable and is perfectly located. It is just as the pictures show it. There is a semi-private beach within 5-minutes walking distance and a nearby fishing village within 20-minutes walking distance that has a great restaurant and salt water pool. The village center is within 10-minutes walking distance; here public buses can be taken to further distances (which I did after much help from Manuel - I took the morning bus to Furnas Lake and enjoyed a full day in Furnas Village - the cost was less than 6 Euro round-trip). Muito Obrigado! Until we meet again... Adeus!

Catarina's studio apartment was comfortable with all the basic necessities and located in a lovely part of San Miguel very close to the ocean and the town of Agua de Pao. Her father, Manuel was very helpful and accommodating, giving a nice meal and telling about all the great spots to check out on the island. They were very hospitable and friendly. Would certainly love to stay again!

Our stay here was amazing!!! Manul and paula, catarinas parents were the best hosts you can ask for.. from the pickup at the airport to the help in other things.. there worm heart well be unforgtfull.. the house itself is great and has everything u need.. and is at a great location.. go to sao miguel and stay here.. u will not forget it!!!!!

The parents of Catarina are very nice and helpfull people. They can give you a lot of tips and info about the island. Pedro's coffee is very good! The apartment is nice and clean, although it is close to the road. We had no troubles with the sound of cars or anything. It is a very nice and central place to discover Sao Miquel.

Catarina war sehr nett und freundlich. Sie hat uns ein ein tolles Restaurant und Badeplätze in der Umgebung gezeigt. Die Unterkunft war toll, sehr sauber, sehr niedlich und wunderschön. Am morgen lässt es sich gut Frühstücken auf der schönen Terasse mit direktem Blick auf das Meer, desweiteren hat man nur 5 Gehminuten zum Strand. Die heissen Quellen in Furnas und Lago da Fogo sind auch ganz in der Nähe. Catarina und die tolle Unterkunft in Agua de Pau kann ich wärmstens weiterempfehlen. Es war alles sehr gut.

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.
