Absolutely fantastic and cozy apartment on São Miguel Island! The design is thoughtful and stylish, with attention to every detail to ensure maximum comfort. Everything was spotlessly clean — the room, bathroom, kitchen, and the entire apartment. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need to prepare meals, and the lounge area is perfect for relaxing or enjoying romantic evenings. Just next to the kitchen, there’s a lovely terrace where you can spend magical evenings outdoors. The host was extremely welcoming and kind, always ready to help and make us feel at home. The beach is only a few minutes’ walk away, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking to relax and explore the beautiful nature of the Azores!

Consigliatissimo!!

The house is really new and clean. The position of the house is good to visit the island by car. We have the room and the bathroom outside the room, but it's so close; everything at the second floor. Everything is perfect organized by the host, all the space of the kitchen and all our needs. Carlos is really kind. He gives us a lot of advices about place, trip and resturant. He was always in contact with us for everything. He also give us some typical cakes from the zone to taste. We appreciate a lot his attention.. We feel like home. Thank you very much Carlos!!

Fantastic place with a great location and the best host ever

Everything was perfect, the amazing view from the room, the sound of the ocean and birds in the morning but most important warm and welcoming host Carlos. What also was exceptional is how clean and well organized was the whole house. We really felt at home there.

Great base for expolting the island

Super nice host, we got some really good recommendations about what to see. The house is located more or less in the middle part of the southern coast which gives good access to the whole island. The area is really quite. The house is very clean.

Great Location for exploring the whole island by car. House is fairly new. Room was clean. The host is very friendly and helpful but at the same time respecting your privacy. We had some great conversations and got to know the Azores from the perspective of a local.

I strongly suggest everyone to stay at this place, everything was great!

Everything was great. The house, the room, everything was very clean and organised. You can see the ocean trough the window and I slept very good. The communication from the host was really nice and overall I had a brilliant experience.

Very nice location, only a few steps from a small and (when we were there) nearly empty beach. Carlos, the host, was very nice and welcoming. The place has a couple of nice outdoor seating areas where you can enjoy the sunset and stars. Comfy bed.
