A well-thought-out property, the gorgeous location, and caring hosts made for an exceptional experience. Bottom line up front: We’d love to return to the Azores, and we'll definitely stay at this wonderful home away from home again.
Our hosts were so welcoming and personally greeted us upon arrival, with a basket of local specialties, including local wine, and a refrigerator stocked with basics for the first few days. This saved us from rushing to the nearest grocery store right away. We learned where to shop, got restaurant recommendations (and they were spot on) after we talked about our food preferences, and received suggestions for our exploratory trips over the next few days. It could not have been more individualized.
The property is perfectly located for trips all over the island. We loved opening the kitchen patio door to look out at a hillside pasture with grazing cattle. The place was impeccably clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and had breakfast on the patio, with the lush green hillside vista, to start every day.
While the property is in the countryside, it is still only minutes from Ponta Delgada and the main highways, making it easy to venture out and discover San Miguel.
Our hosts' warm nature, prompt communication, and caring attitude, along with the lovely house and location, made for a memorable vacation. We’d love to come back!
