We had a late arrival, but that was no problem. The maid was waiting for us to give us the key and some bread and cheese were waiting for us. We could ask for everything what we needed to know and they would help us. The location is also very good to visit things by car. A supermarket is close by. I would definitely recommend this!

We had a warm welcome to Margarida's holiday apartment. It is in a nice location on the outskirts of Ribeira Grande with views over the pool to the mountains. Easy walking distance into town if you want to get dinner and a drink. The apartment is reasonably equipped for holiday mode living (if you don't wish to cook much). There is a daily cleaning/tidying service, but we tend to tidy as we go, so it wasn't needed much for us, but good to know as a back-up. Margarida's parents, Gabby and Rui are lovely hosts and made surprise gifts of the delicious locally grown/produced pineapple, banana and chutney, local cheeses and bread - much appreciated - particularly on our first evening as we had a late arrival and no time to purchase foods for breakfast en-route. Thank you once again.

Mooi ingericht en goed uitgerust modern bijgebouw bij een oude typisch Azoriaanse estate, met wrkelijk schitterend zwembad (goede temperatuur en groot genoeg), we hebben vijf dagen genoten. Bij aankomst hartelijk ontvangen en er stond een mand met brood, kaas, water, koffie en zalige jam klaar, super! Met de vele schuifdeuren houd je de zon en warmte buiten (in augustus was het iedere dag 27, 28 graden) en kun je beschut genieten in de louncheset op het prive terras van het zicht op de bergen en het zwembad. Minpuntje: in de keuken kwamen we kakkerlakken tegen en buiten liep een veldmuisje heel hard over het terras. Maar ach, het is buitengebied in een suptropisch klimaat ;-)

Le meilleur AirBnB dans lequel j'ai été ! L'accueil est parfait : panier garni à notre arrivée et nous avons eu droit à un petit gâteau délicieux 2 fois pendant notre séjour ! Le confort d'un hôtel: ménage et serviette de toilettes changées tous les jours Rien a redire ! Parfait parfait parfait

Casa Pico do Arde is a great secluded place that offers peace of mind and all the essentials you need for perfect r&r. There was constant communication with the owners and they ensured that we had all the right directions to arrive safely and have everything we needed. During our stay, it was clean, organized and we had a wonderful welcome basket with goodies, which helped after a long trip and during the mornings. They are detail-oriented, helpful, receptive and nice. We would definitely consider returning to that same house.

Thank you for the great time we had, the appartment is very nice, modern und clean. The location is perfect to explore the whole island. We'll definitely will come back!

We had 9 nights in that beautiful apartment outside of Ribera Grande on Sao Miguel/Azores. Margaridas Mom picked us up in the town because we lost our way. That was very kind of her. The apartment was as nice and beautiful as on the pictures. We had some fruits, water, selfmade marmalade and bread as a welcomepresent, which we really liked. The rooms were cleaned daily and Margarida's mom also offered us to do some laundry. The apartment is nearby some nice hot springs in the forest and close to the highway of Sao Miguel.

Fomos perfeitamente acolhidos por nossos anfitriões. As indicações sobre a localização do alojamento eram exactas e eficazes. O apartamento é muito confortável e a sua situação muito agradável. A casa está bem equipada. O sítio é silencioso e está perto da Ribeira Grande, uma cidadezinha muito interessante da ilha de São Miguel.

Our stay at Orlando's house was perfect. This was our first AirBnB experience and it was so great. The house is in a great location, we stayed there 7 nights and we drove around the island with our rental car with no problem. The room is clean, the bed is comfortable and when it got cold at night (we were there in february) we where feeling warm in the cozy bed. Orlando and Carla were very nice to us, they let us use the kitchen, watch TV and even made laundry for us, awesome! I really recommend this place you won't regret it. The dogs and the cat are also very cute if you're an animal lover like us!

It was awesome vacation in Orlando's house!Orlando is a supernice persone, very hospitable and careing. His house is also great:gooddesined, clean, with everything you need and with super cute dogs and cat. Thank you Orlando for everything. Best wishes from Sveta and Igor!

The host, Orlando, is a relaxed guy who welcomed us very friendly with tricks about São Miguel Island. People sometimes are "afraid" on staying at somebodies house because of privacy. This is not the case, Orlando's house is pretty big and there's room for total privacy, even in the shared areas there was no privacy issues at all! Totally recommend! 5 stars :) Both the host, the house and the location (3min walk to the center).

Très bel appartement. Orlando est sympathique, discret et disponible pour nous informer sur les environs. A recommander.

Orlando hat uns vom ersten Moment einen Ort zur Verfügung gestellt, an dem man sich super wohl fühlt. Neben einem eigenen Badezimmer und einem sauberen Zimmer hat er zusätzlich von seiner Mutter gebackene Plätzchen und kühles Wasser bereit gestellt. Auch die Küche ist für eigenes Kochen fantastisch geeignet und der Strand ist nur wenige Gehminuten entfernt. Alles in allen eine super Zeit, vielen Dank.

It was a lovely stay in Orlando's beautiful and modern house. Everything was perfect, room was very nice. Thank you!

Orlando definitely made us feel welcome. He was very friendly and accommodating. The room was great and the neighborhood was very nice. Best host ever!

Near the beach and central on the Island. Parkingspace nearby and a good price-quality appartment. Very friendly family with a very good communication!

The host canceled this reservation 128 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Anfitriã muito simpática e prestável. A casa é agradável. Muito obrigada pela hospitalidade.

Everything was good! We recommend it :)

Nice location, very authentic, perfect services from Lucia, little bit unconfortable bed (very small) and sometimes problems with WIFI connection.

Lucia and her daughter are just very lovely, helpful and caring. I am lucky to be able rent their apartment. :-)

Lucia and her daughter were PHENOMENAL! We had the best time staying there. They recommended wonderful dinner options and so many other places to go. They had a ton of maps available to us and even brought us over homemade dessert one night. We had so much fun chatting with them and would have loved to stay even longer. Highly recommend! The town is so cute too and there are so many dinner options and places to walk around. The house is right on the beach as well. Just perfect!

This apartment was right by the water and around the corner from Alabote, which was a great dinner choice. We were able to park on the street in front and walk around the town. Hosts were very friendly and prompt with communication. At night there was a slight bad smell near the street, but not in the bedroom. Great accommodation in Ribeira Grande.

I really enjoyed my stay at Manuela. The bedroom is spatious and clean. The kitchen has everything you need and fonctional. And the view from the bedroom terrasse is amazing. I coule watch the surfer from it. Probably the best view in town.

We spent one night at Manuela´s place and it was perfect : it's located in the center of Ribeira Grande, it has a nice terrace overlooking the sea and river that you can privately enjoy, it's clean and quiet. What else can you ask for ? Plus, Manuela trusted us with the Keys while she was at work.

Ho passato con il mio compagno 6 notti a casa di Manuela e del piccolo Henrique. La casa è molto bella, spaziosa, pulita, con un'ottima vista sull'oceano. È al centro di Ribeira Grande, a pochi bassi da bar e supermercati. Nel raggio di un paio di km ci sono le spiagge principali. Manuela è una buona host, disponibile e cordiale. Un'ottima esperienza!

Experiencia perfecta en casa de Manuela. La casa en preciosa, nueva y confortable. En la habitación hay dos camas grandes y tiene acceso directo a una terraza con vistas al mar. Se sitúa a 1 min d la playa. Ribeira grande es un lugar estratégico para poder visitar la isla, está muy bien comunicado y es más tranquilo q la capital pero dispone de servicios. Manuela encantadora anfitriona! Todo muy bien!

Paraiso a vista is a real treasure - a very spacious and very pleasently furnished room with two double beds. In addition to that the room is connected to a private terrace with a view on the ocean, the river and the bridge of the 8 arches! Manuela makes the stay a real treat - we felt very welcomed in her home and very well taken care of. She has done for us much more than we expected from a host!

Manuela is a very kind person. The house was very clean and big. She helped with everything. The balcony was with amazing looks to the sea. The shop is very close and some restaurant is close too. I can advise to everybody because we loced it!! Thanks Manuela :*

Manu is very nice and helpful. The place is really as it looks like on the photos, and has a fantastic terrace with view on the ocean that is perfect to have breakfast and dinner. It is also close to some of our favorite discoveries here in Sao Miguel, lagoa do fogo and caldeira velha.

La casa tiene una localización simplemente perfecta para conocer la isla. La calle es muy tranquila y silenciosa, hay varios supermercados cerca y la estación de autobús está a tan solo unos par de calles. En el centro de Ribeira Grande, la terraza tiene vistas privilegiadas al mar. La habitación es mucho más espaciosa de lo que parece en las fotos y hay zona de lectura y terraza privada. La casa es muy acogedora y grande, Manuela mantiene todo en perfecto estado y se muestra siempre atenta a nuestras necesidades. Nos ayudó con todo lo que necesitamos de forma sincera y nos ayudó a conocer la isla desde el punto de vista local. Una opción perfecta para descubrir este paraíso.

Casa bastante tranquila, acolhedora e está situada em bom sítio!

Joli maison dans un très beau jardin fleuri. Situé dans une ancienne fabrique de thé. La maison est très bien situé à Ribeira grande. Proche des routes pour faire des visites au alentour a 15 min de ponta delgada, 20min de Furnas.

Endroit calme et très agréable, nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour !!!Je recommande !

Malgré notre portugais plus que basique, l’accueil fut chaleureux. La maison est vraiment paisible... jardin, barbecue, propreté, tout ce qu'il faut pour un bon séjour.... on ne sait plus sur quel ile des tropiques nous sommes.. Excellent rapport qualité/prix... Merci à Marilia...

We stayed 9 days here and it was great: the house is very cosy, fully furnished, with everything you may need. The garden is huge, includes a fountain in the centre, turkeys saying hi every morning and also a barbecue :) The landlords are quite helpful and willing to help you feel like home. I highly recommed this place if you are planning to come to San Miguel!

Hemos disfrutado de unos días en esta casita de madera que es muy acogedora y amplia. Además puedes disfrutar de la zona ajardinada y algunos animales que corren por allí muy simpáticos, y puedes disfrutar de la zona de barbacoa. La vivienda dispone de todo lo necesario para pasar unos días. No obstante creemos que la limpieza se podría mejorar.

Well located house close to Ribeira Grande with friendly animals running around. Nice house and welcoming. We think a bit more cleaning would be better though.

I booked Marilia's house for a colleague while he was staying in The Azores. He said it was great!

THE PLACE TO STAY IN RIBERA GRANDE! There is no way to express how nice and friendly Sandra, Fred and the rest of the crew is. Everything is made to make you feel home. You enter as host and you leave as a friend....

Costa Norte was the best place I stayed on São Miguel! The room was clean, comfortable and cheery and the hosts were incredible. Very welcoming, informative and the breakfast was fabulous. Definitely stay here!

To make it short: I planned to stay for two nights, but I stayed three. I left for one night and realized, Costa Norte is the best Place to stay on Sao Miguel! At the same day I came back and I stayed until the end of my trip. Best decision ever! Why? Sandra, Fred, Aurora (sweet daughter) and Lentilha (nice dog) do an excellent job! Every morning you start with a nice breakfast, combined with their excellent knowledge of every part of the island and complete map collection of it. Well prepared like this, it will be sure that nothing can go wrong, because after that you know where to go and where you’ll get the best view, the nicest hike, the most tasteful food or just the best beer… And in the evening? You’ll be tired! After a hot shower you will fall asleep in one of the comfortable beds... My advice- stay at Costa Norte!

Wonderful, wonderful family. We felt so much at home. Fred knows so much about the island. A great stay!

Friendly people and nice breakfast. Recommended!

Fred and Sandra are the best. They were very gracious hosts and provided clean simple lodging and a beautiful breakfast replete with fresh homemade bread, homemade jams, local cheeses, and tea and coffee and much more. The rooms and bathrooms are clean and perfect for the needs of travelers and Fred and Sandra are adept at giving advice about how to spend your days in the area and on the island. I highly recommend this spot to anyone who wants to get a solid local connection with the town and to meet other travelers and make new friends. Also, they are extraordinary cooks!

Fred & Sandra were the best hosts we could have had! The second we walked in their guesthouse we felt at home and that made our 4 nights there amazing. Ribeira Grande is not a very big, but it is very central city in the island. Since you will almost always need a car to go around Sao Miguel, this place is a great central place on the island (but if you don't get a car Sandra & Fred are even willing to take you at some places)! I would highly recommend going here and have a lovely stay at Costa Norte!

Nice place! Sao Muguel island is beautiful! You need to rent a car or motorbike though.

Very nice and quit place. In the middel of the nature and near by the City . If you like nature, yuo have to stay here. Very good service.

Boven verwachting mooi, een klein paradijs op aarde, prijs kwaliteit verhouding boven verwachting!! De Watermolen is basic maar voorziet in alles wat je nodig hebt, bovendien veel ruimte in en om het huis, geweldig gelegen aan een stromende beek en op loopafstand van het dorp. Veel privacy en lieve gastvrouw en heer die je verder niet ziet behalve wanneer je ze nodig hebt. Kippen op je terras, absolute rust en eenvoud, zeer aan te bevelen voor mensen die van natuur rust en eenvoud houden.

The most magical sight I have seen a house been build at. A true feast to the eyes and ears. Thank you for sharing it with us!

We had a lovely time staying at Felicia's! We had rented a car and found the location to be a wonderful, central spot to explore the rest of the island. Beautiful and quiet but an easy walk to downtown for restaurants and exploring. Thanks Felicia!

Cette location est un véritable paradis ! On est tout proche d'un centre ville tout en étant en pleine nature. On accède à cet ancien moulin par une route étroite ceinturée de murs en lave pour arriver dans un vallon où coule la rivière. Quelques maisons forment ce hameau. La décoration de la maison est simple et belle avec des matériaux de qualité. Dans le grand séjour (au moins 50 m2) il reste encore le moteur du moulin. Nous avons dormi là 5 nuits bercés par le bruit de l'eau. Si nous revenons à Sao Miguel, c'est là que nous irons.

Paradise in a hidden cove When you are looking for the watermill as they explain to you, you will find yourself driving a dead-end road into a valley of beauty. Next tot a stream between palm trees and banana's a bouganville is hanging in front of the entrance of an exotic small house and you find yourself with a smile on your face. You know you are gonna enjoy this. After a walk around the house you feel yourself wondering if you're stil in the Azores and noticing when you're quiet you will here nothing except nature itself. What a paradise full of wondrous art, color and happiness. After enjoying the quietness or the warm friendliness of the owners next to a campfire you will fall asleep still having this smile on your face. Thanks Tom and you're lovely wife. We hope to see you on our next trip to Sao Miguel!

Authentic house within easy walking distance to the centre (about 10-15 minutes). Picturesque quiet location.

Wir haben uns total wohl gefühlt. Es ist ein echt tolles Haus mitten in der Natur. Die Gastgeber waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Es ist wirklich sehr empfehlenswert. Es gibt einen Fluss direkt neben dem Haus. Grillmöglichkeit ist ebenfalls vorhanden. Die nächste Stadt, Ribeira Grande, ist ebenfalls schnell zu erreichen. Wir würden es auf auf jeden Fall wieder machen. 10 von 10 Punkten!

We just had a wonderful stay Marcia's. From morning walks to center for coffee and croissants to start the day, to enjoying the sunset with a glass of wine on the balcony. There is plenty of parking on the street and the apartment is extremely clean and well furnished. Location wise, this was the perfect spot for us to explore either side of the island. Marcia was the perfect host and was extremely accommodating. Absolutely loved the welcome basket. You cannot go wrong staying here. Just fantastic!

La experiencia en la casa de Marcia ha sido magnífica. Una buena situación frente al mar, muy bien equipada, ordenada y limpia y nos hemos sentido muy a gusto en este precioso apartamento. Además Marcia, fue muy amable y atenta, ya que llegamos muy tarde y salió a nuestro encuentro para acompañarnos hasta su casa y además nos dejó provisiones para la primera noche. Muchas gracias Marcia y recomendamos encarecidamente este alojamiento.

We've had a wonderful stay at Márcia's apartment. The apartment is exactly as it shows in the photos, very clean and equipped with all we needed (kitchenware, washing machine and detergent, coffee machine, internet…). The views from the large balcony are amazing, especially during sunset. Márcia was very attentive all the time. It was easy to arrange the check in and check out. She also gave us very good tips on places to go and visit in Sao Miguel. Ribeira Grande is a nice town, by the sea, although there aren’t many restaurants and bars. However, it is ideally located in the centre of the island so you can easily reach every corner of the island. I would certainly recommend this apartment to anyone willing to visit Sao Miguel!

A Marcia é muito simpática, o local está muito bem descrito no anuncio, toda a família gostou, logo que possível voltaremos. Obrigado por nos ter recebido. Francisco e família

Großzügige Wohnung direkt am Atlantik mit fabelhaftem Blick auf die oft hohen Wellen, modern eingerichtet, zwei Bäder, Parkplätze vor der Tür, Zentrum in Fußgängernähe, ruhig - sehr empfehlenswert! Márcia hat uns mitten in der Nacht begrüßt, alles problemlos mit ihr - eine nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin!

Márcia was an extremely hospitable and kind hostess. She did everything to make us feel comfortable: received us cordially (although we had arrived earlier than expected), provided us a big basket with fresh bread and local products (thank you!!) and informed us about the local area by giving us an overview of the city from the balcony. The apartment leaves almost nothing to be desired! It's really spacious and modernly furnitured, you'll find all equipment you need - and many informative brochures. The fact that it gets quite cold during nights (especially in winter/springtime) is the only little disadvantage. The highlight is definitely the view: overlooking the sea, beach and city, you can enjoy a marvelous view from there (especially during sunset). The apartment is located in a calm place, yet everything is reachable within walking distance (bus station, supermarkets, restaurants). Anytime again!

Marcia was a brilliant host - she met us at the apartment on or arrival in the early hours of the morning and gave us a full tour of the place making sure we knew where all of the amenities were. She left us loads of information of things to do on Sao Miguel including her own information pack (which was incredibly useful!) and took the time to point out the good local restaurants and the local pool/beach area from our balcony. The bread, snacks, milk, ham and cheese she left us was absolutely brilliant especially due to our nighttime arrival! It was really appreciated! The apartment was great! Clean, comfortable and spacious, with a balcony overlooking the ocean. It was a great location - close to town, the local pool/beach area and some good local restaurants. A perfect home away from home! I would definitely recommend staying here!

Lorena is probably the best host you will ever meet, kind-hearted person and also a great cook! Her lovely home will charm you, located near the beach and good restaurants, easily accessed from the airport and to the rest of the island. We want to come back!

ΤΟ ΣΠΙΤΙ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΠΑΡΑ ΠΟΛΥ ΟΜΟΡΦΟ ΚΑΙ ΑΝΕΤΟ!ΕΙΝΑΙ ΚΟΝΤΑ ΣΕ ΜΙΑ ΠΟΛΥ ΩΡΑΙΑ ΠΑΡΑΛΙΑ!Η LORENA ΚΑΙ O ΑΝΤΡΑΣ ΤΗΣ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΠΟΛΥ ΕΠΙΚΟΙΝΩΝΙΑΚΟΙ Κ ΕΞΥΠΗΡΕΤΙΚΟΙ!ΤΟ ΣΥΣΤΗΝΟΥΜΕ ΑΝΕΠΙΦΥΛΑΚΤΑ!

La casa está a muy pocos minutos de la playa de Santa Bárbara, la mejor de todo San Miguel. Lorena es muy amable y dispuesta, siempre intentando facilitar nuestra estancia, incluso aunque llegamos muy tarde por la noche. La habitación es grande y cómoda, la casa está muy limpia, y lo mejor de todo, hay una barbacoa que se puede utilizar. Compartimos una cena maravillosa con ella y con Fernando al calor de las brasas. Muchas gracias Lorena, espero que nos volvamos a ver pronto!

We stayed two days with Lorena and we felt very comfortable and welcoming in her house. The house is really nice and very spacious. And Lorena tryes always that you make yourself at home. Thank you so much Lorena!!

We had a warm welcome at Lorena's place. The modern house (and garden) is big and clean. It's located close to Santa Barbara Beach and Ribeira Granda is a very good base the explore the whole island. Lorena is such a warm and friendly host, she can give you really good tips about the island and e.g. where to eat. The best of all was the really nice BBQ-evening that Lorena and Fernando organized for us and the other guests, so nice :) Lorena, thanks for everything!

Familiäre Atmosphäre und sehr freundlich

A Lorena foi uma anfitriã 5 estrelas. Recebeu-me super bem na casa dela e não tenho nenhum ponto negativo apontar. A casa apresenta-se limpa e cuidada,e o bairro é super tranquilo. Se voltar aos Açores certamente ficarei novamente neste alojamento local porque fui muito bem recebida. Recomendo

Nice place. Nice people. Very friendly hosts. Get catched at the airport and got a lot of good tips for the island.

We really enjoyed the time at Florbela's place. She and her husband were lovely hosts and they made great effort to help us see all the wonderful places around Ribeira Grande. The room was nice, clean and very calm and the breakfast they served was sumptuous. Their house is located in the beautiful center of Ribeira Grande and is connected very well to the main sights of the island. We would definitely come again!

I had a great stay with Florbela and her husband, they are both very kind and welcoming. They were extremely helpful and communicative in getting me to find the place, as (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps did not work as well as I had expected. I checked in a bit late, but they where very accommodative. The place is very nice, just as pictured. About a 5 minute walk down hill is the city center of Ribiera Grande, some interesting architecture and cafes, and if you continue another 5 minutes, you get to the beach Monte Verte. Despite being close to the city center, there is plenty of parking on the street. A major plus is the great breakfast provided by Florbela. Also provided is a small snack pack to pack up your leftovers from breakfast to snack on while out exploring the Azores.

Feels like visiting the nice part of your family. Definitely 5 stars! :)

Flor and Luis are wonderful persons. The travel in sao miguel was incredible thanks to them. I loved your home and the room was the same that the photo. The breakfast was perfect because you could choose different food. I recommend 100% staying in one of their rooms. Thank's for all!!!

Marion et son mari nous ont acceuilli chaleureusement .Une bouteille de vin etait offerte à notre arrivee.

Tolle, neue und großzügig eingerichtete Unterkunft, die als Ausgangspunkt für einen perfekten Urlaub gedient hat. Die Gastgeber stehen mit Rat und Tat zur Seite, ihre Geheimtipps sorgen für einige unerwartete, besondere Erlebnisse. Wir kommen auf alle Fälle wieder, vielen Dank!

My daugther and I stay on Casa Mitchi from 16 to 26 Sept 2016. Were 10 wonderful days on a private suite on Marion’s family cottage. She and her husband are very kind and warm persons, always pending of our comfort. The cottage is located at one of the best areas of the island, where the walks to the beach, and bike riding plenty grateful. At the evening there are many cafeterias for rest and chat while enjoying the traditional local dessert: pastéis de nata""

Sehr ruhige Lage mit tollem Ausblick. Sehr geräumig geschnittenes und modern eingerichtetes Appartement. Marion und Dieter sind sehr hilfsbereite Gastgeber mit viel Engagement. Service und Kommunikation wunderbar. Ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Erkundungen der Nordküste von Sao Miguel mit dem Mietwagen.

O meu comentário vai parecer irreal. Não tenho uma frase má, ou sequer menos boa, a escrever sobre a minha estadia neste apartamento. Começou antes mesmo de chegarmos aos Açores: rápidas respostas, comunicação constante e ainda dicas muito úteis. Fui muito bem recebida, atenderam rapidamente aos pedidos que fizémos e não deixaram que nos faltasse nada. O apartamento está muito bem equipado com eletrodomésticos, utensílios e têxteis (toalhas, mantas, etc). Ainda deixaram uma cesta de produtos regionais, como brinde de boas-vindas. Já para não falar dos mapas, sugestões de restaurantes e de passeios a dar pela ilha de S. Miguel. As fotos são bastante fiéis às comodidades do apartamento e a vista para o mar é deslumbrante. Fica a perceber-se bem o porquê do nome "Azorean Sunset Loft". Foi óptimo e é, certamente, um sítio onde irei voltar.

Jackie our host met us at the apartment and welcomed us to the Azores. She was highly knowledgeable in regards to the area and the restaurants. She had maps and copies of the area sites for us to look at and to use while we were there. She had recommended areas that we may enjoy. We had a great time in Ribeira Grande and the Azorean Sunset Loft and it was very compfortable. She made herself available during our stay as we had further questions that were answered. She had a wonderful basket of goodies that were Azores favourites. We would highly recommend the loft for furture stays... and to anyone seeking a place to stay. yours truly Anne and Brian

We had a fantastic week at the Azorean Sunset Loft. Jackie and Daniel welcomed us at the airport to make sure we could follow them in our rental car to the loft as the usual streets were closed due to a big festival. They made us feel very welcome and had left good recommendations for the local area. Jackie was also on hand during the week when we had extra questions about the flat or local area. The flat is beautiful - very big, clean, beautifully furnished, and with fantastic views over the sea and the mountains of Sete Cidades. It's in a great location for getting to all the main sights of the island and is away from the tourists of Ponta Delgada. Ribeira Grande is a lovely town to wander around - usually quiet but we had a fantastic three nights out at the amazing local medieval festival! We would definitely recommend this flat to anyone coming to Sao Miguel, and hope we can come back one day.

We had a terrific stay. Jackie was very informative and hospitable. Great spot. Highly recommended!

Jackies apartment is beautiful. Incredible views and very spacious. She was an excellent host and had lots of great recommendations for things to do on the island. We particularly liked lunch and dinner at Tasca. Thanks for a great trip!

El apartamento es estupendo, nos sentimos como en casa durante la estancia. Está muy bien equipado, com muchos detalles. Incluso nos dejaron un pack de bienvenida con productos locales y toallas para la playa. La recepción no pude ser mejos. Jackie nos explicó todos los detalles de la isla y nos dejo una serie de recomendaciones sobre restaurentes que resultaron muy acertadas. La localización es perfecta, al lado de las piscinas y la playa, con unos atardeceres y unas vistas espectaculares. En definitiva, un apartamento excelente para disfrutar de la isla. Gracias Jackie!

The sunset apartment is just stunning... The view from the balcony is so amazing that we retuned every evening around 5pm to see the sunset. And every evening it looked different and super beautiful. The appartment has everything to feel home and Jackie and her husband provide every information about the island you might need. We really enjoyed our stay and will come back one day!

It's a really wonderful central place to have access to all the island. No more than 40 min by car to join most of the nice place of Sao Miguel. Jackie was always replying very fast to my emails and text message. No issue to find the place and to arrive before that the normal checkin time. The apartment was very clean, modern with a amazing view. We really recommend this place. Thanks again Jackie

Very uncomplicated and warm welcome, thanks again Giulia for your flexibility and for having us for a night in the surf house. Recomended to anyone staying in the area :)

Clean, comfortable, large room. Would recommend x

Sympa et calme ,mais la mer n'est pas juste en face comme les photos peuvent laisser penser.. elle est a 300m mais il n'y a pas de vue depuis la maison ..

Super pretty room. Great location near the beach and supermarket. Josie and Ricardo gave us nice surf lessons and they were super friendly. It was nice having a living host (Karlan) that was able to give us suggestions. Thank you!

Josie and Ricardo are lovely people. Very helpful in everything. Ricardo showed me the best surfspots in the area although waves weren't too good at that time. Would love to come back any time soon.

J'ai passé seulement 2 nuits au merveilleux Surf Center. Les hôtes donnent de bons conseils et sont très accueillants! La maison est très propre et chaleureuse! Un coup de coeur !

Giulia was a perfect host. The house is very well located, 5 minutes to the beach of Santa Barbara. Most of the people living there are surfers. Super good ambience and very clean. Guilia was nice, helpful and made us feel like home. Thanks for everything :)

A guest house ideal for people looking for waves to surf, it wasn't our case, but our room was great. The host was really kind with us, very easy going attitude.

Fantastic riverside cottage just outside of Ribeira Grande, we found this location perfect for exploring the island. 20-25 mins drive to downtown Ponta Delgada, very short drive to Ribeira Grande, very close proximity to Furnas and Lagos Fogo. The cottage is outside of the city and feels like your own little paradise over looking the watermill and river from your own private deck. The island is relatively small, but the location is the center of the island making it easy to discover all of the islands hidden gems. Sussane and Jan very much respect your privacy, but are always available for help to make your stay that much more enjoyable. The house is fully equipped with everything you need, and a grocery store not too far away. The deck sitting over the river wraps around the front of the house, where you can enjoy your meals, coffee and/or a big glass of wine! You can not go wrong with this accommodation, fantastic place to relax and use as a base for your adventures. We highly recommend renting a vehicle for your travels. Avoid big your buses that just crowd each point of interest. The island is very easy to drive and with a car you will discover the islands many sights and explore on your own schedule. We have done a lot of travelling over the past few years- this island and accommodation are top notch!

Mae d'Agua is a charming spot and a lovely little cottage. The sound of the water and chirping birds make it feel like a private retreat. This was a perfect location from which to explore the entire island. Thanks to Susanne and Jan for a wonderful stay! I look forward to coming back some day!

Spectacular location and a fantastic cozy house (best in Azores we had on our whole trip). Very close to center and beach of Ribeira Grande. A must visit when visiting Sao Miguel!!! ps: superb and very roomy bed

We had a wonderful week in Ribeira Grande. The place was very quiet and the view was great. Thanks to Suzanne , she is e very good host! Sao Miguel is a beautiful island, good place to walk and to see the countryside. Unspoiled nature hidden for the crowd of tourists.

Staying @ Mae d'Agua Cottage was like home away from home! It had all the necessary amenties to allow for comfort and ease. It is also centrally located conveniently in the middle of Sao Miguel. Renting a car is absolutely necessary for seeing the islands natural beauty. Having a great place to come back to after a day of hiking made our trip all the better. Overall experience was perfect.

My sister and I stayed with Susanne at the end of April, and everything about our stay was absolutely perfect. The cottage was beautiful and well stocked with everything we could possibly need--including an amazing fire place. As a few other people mentioned previously, the pictures truly do not to justice to how beautiful this place is! We were also pleasantly surprised to find that it was within easy walking distance to town (about 15-20min). Susanne is a great host and made sure we were well taken care of and had everything we needed--she even greeted us with a delicious Easter cake. She also provided some maps and directions to the grocery store, as well as recommendations for a really great restaurant. We originally booked for only three nights and planned to spend the remaining three nights of our trip elsewhere, but we loved this place so much we spent our entire time here. Overall, this was a great experience and I can't recommend Susanne and this cottage highly enough! It was perfect!

Wahnsinnig tolle und erholsame Ferien ... ein ganz verzauberter besonderer Platz ... wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Natur pur – es rauscht und fließt ... sehr gemütliche liebevoll ausgestattete Unterkunft mit allem Notwendigem! Uns fehlte es an nichts! Susanne und Jan sind tolle Gastgeber. Ob das frische Brot oder ein individueller Ausflug zum Mehlmahlen ... Wir haben leider nicht alle Tipps und Empfehlungen mehr wahrnehmen können – nach 11 Tagen war die Reise vorbei! Wir werden wiederkommen müssen! Lieben Dank für die wunderbare Zeit. Michael, Bettina und Jula

Dieser Ort ist jedem von Herzen weiter zu empfehlen. Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit in dieser Wohlfühloase. Das Gästehaus ist super ausgestattet, an alles wurde gedacht und man wurde herzlich empfangen. Man geniesst die unglaubliche Natur um sich herum mit rauschendem Wasserfall, und ewig blühenden Blumen. Susanne und Jan sind zwei sehr symphatische Menschen und es ist für jeden eine Bereicherung, sie und ihr kleines Paradies kennen zu lernen.

Globalmente, gostei do espaço e das condições.

We felt welcomed in Judite's place. Right in the center of Ribeira Grande, walking distance from the Monte Verde beach. Many small convenience and grocery shops around as well as coffee and restaurants. Good communication, Judite was very quick answering our queries and available. Many thanks again and all the best :)

The house was really clean and spacious, fully furnished and really well located, just 5 minuts walking from the beach! Thank you Judite!

Lovely little duplex in the city, not far from the center where there are shops and cafe's. Pleasant stay, recommended to other travelers and would visit again!

The Fountain House was a ideal House To explore Sao Miquel. Everything was available. Vanessa was a good host. She answered all our questions.

Vanessa was very welcoming and informative as our party of 4 were touring Ribeira Grande for the first time. The check in process was very smooth, and hassle free. The apartment was extremely clean and exceeded all of our expectations. We could not have chosen a better place to call a home away from home during our travels. Thanks Vanessa!

Gostei muito da casa e a Vanessa e marido foram impecaveis. O espaco e grande, limpo, bem organizado e confortavel. O sitio e muito central e pertinho existe mini mercado, uma pizzaria, a Igreja Matriz da cidade da Ribeira Grande, e uma praia tambem perto.

Good place, close in the centre, it has everything you need, thank you Vanessa.

A Vanessa e a sua familia são muito simpáticos. A casa foi sem dúvida a melhor escolha para as nossas férias. Fomos dois casais discobrir a Ilha de São Miguel. A casa tem churasco, uma maquina de lavar roupa e um duche bem bom (bem quente e com boa pressão) 50 metros da casa tem um talho local com bifes locais! Vale a pena comprar uns bifes e fazer no churasco. As camas também eram confortaveis. Dois quartos espaçosos com espaço para guardadar a roupa. A cozinha totalmente equipada, sendo que a Vanessa disponibilizou café e chá. Ribeira Grande é uma aldeia onde se come muito bem. Perto dos grandes pontos turisticos da Ilha. Sem dúvida, temos que voltar a Casa Chafariz, e sem dúvida iremos recomendar aos nossos amigos.

Perfecta casa para explorar la costa y montañas del norte y este de la Isla. La anfitriona, Vanessa, muy atenta, nos proporcionó información sobre todo lo que ver y hacer así como de sitios donde comer etc... Siempre accesible para cualquier consulta o duda. Gran terraza para desayunar y sitio para aparcar casi en la puerta. Algunos coches y peatones ruidosos pero como puede pasar en cualquier alojamiento dentro de una población. Buena elección para alojarse en San Miguel.

we booked the house for 4 nights with 5 friends. It was really perfect. Everything we needed was there. There was a surf contest and a christian festival with live music in ribeira grande during the time we were there. So we had lots of fun. Nice bar at the other side of the street.

The best place i have even booked by Airbnb. Everything was perfect.
