The Space: Architectural Charm & High Ceilings: Experience the authentic soul of São Miguel at Vila Arrifes Guesthouse, Upstairs. This upper-level Flat is defined by its impressive high ceilings and stunning original wooden beams, which have been beautifully preserved in the lounge. This architectural character creates an airy, grand atmosphere that you won’t find in a modern hotel, offering a true experience.

Location: The Perfect Island Hub
Vila Arrifes is situated in a peaceful, authentic residential parish that gives you a true taste of Azorean life while keeping you perfectly connected to the island’s "must-see" spots.

Right on your doorstep (Arrifes):

Authentic Local Life: Steps away from traditional bakeries (perfect for fresh massa sovada), local butchers and supermarkets.

Gruta do Carvão: Explore the island’s volcanic history at this fascinating lava tube complex located just down the road.

Pineapple Plantations: Visit the famous glass greenhouses of Ananás Arruda or Santo António (10 mins drive) to see how the world’s sweetest pineapples are grown.

The Best of São Miguel (Minutes away):

Ponta Delgada (5-7 Mins): Quick access to the capital’s marina, historic City Gates (Portas da Cidade), and the vibrant Mercado da Graça farmers market.

Sete Cidades (20 Mins): You are positioned on the "right side" of town for the scenic drive up to the iconic Blue and Green Lakes and the breathtaking Vista do Rei viewpoint.

Pinhal da Paz (15 Mins): A lush forest reserve perfect for a picnic or a peaceful walk among endemic plants and flowers.

Ponta da Ferraria (25 Mins): Drive west to experience a natural thermal pool in the ocean—a truly unique Azorean experience.
