We stayed for 10 nights and enjoyed Antonio’s home in the Azores. He provided lots of information and answered any/all questions. The house gave us a feeling of traditional, rural Azorean countryside living - Complete with cows and a lovely little horse in the pastures beyond. It is well situated and central to main highways and roads. António’s description of his house is completely accurate.

lovely house
Our stay at Antonio's house was wonderful. It really looked as beautiful as pictured, surrounded by the beautiful countryside. You can see mountains from the back of the house and the sea from the porch. The immediate area is surrounded by farmlands, just wonderful. You will need to rent a car for this house but at the same time pretty much everything on the island can be reached within an hour by car from here. The main town Ponta Delgada is only 25 minutes away by car and there are closer smaller towns dotted along the way. There is a big supermarket Modelo Continente located about 10 minutes from the house so if you want to make your own meal or do some grocery shopping this is the place to go. There is a beautiful black sand beach behind the supermarket what more can you ask for?

The drive up the flower and tree lined driveway was very welcoming.
The Stonehouse from the outside is very beautiful, and accomadating for unloading and loading vehicle. The 360 degree view is very pleasant all around. Add the many chirping birds making there living in the trees, and comfortable chairs on the porch, what is there not to like. The inside was a bit tight for 3 adults. Watch for ants making there way to food and sweet drinks. Keep it clean and tight and it shouldn't be a problem. Some sharp knives in the draw would be nice, at least one for cutting up food. English directions on how to use washing machine would be a p lus. Never did get it right. Door stop for front door a necessity when other doors or windows are open. It will slam shut on you. Also a latch for bathroom window to prevent it from slamming shut when airing it out. These are my suggestions for a better stay. Overall the Stonehouse was a pleasant stay. We loved the privacy even though you could see the highway. It was not intrusive at all.

By your comment, we may perfectly feel your experience in the house and its surroundings. I thank you for your practical solutions. They are welcome and will be implemented soon. I, too, had felt the same, but I still had not thought of an pratical idea to solve the problem. I am sure that for the next time the main door wil not slam shut on your back!

One word: perfect!
We have stayed the first week of our honeymoon at Casa de Canada, and am sure we couldn't start it anywhere better! De house is wonderful, fully equipped and in a peaceful environment. Antonio is the best host we have ever had. From Lissabon he was always there to help us and give us all the information we need. From the house you can go anywhere. You will need a car though, but that's the case for the whole island :). We surely be back if we are going to sao Miguel once again! Antonio, thank you!

The perfect place
Toda a experiência nesta casa tornou a nossa estadia nos Açores mais especial. O António, dono da casa, foi uma simpatia, sempre disponivel para dar as melhores dicas e garantir que estávamos bem. A casa é maravilhosa em tudo, desde a localização central, vista para o campo e para o mar (com por do sol lindo), até ao conforto grande de uma casa bem equipada, arrumada e asseada. Se voltarmos ficaremos no mesmo sítio! Obrigada

Schönes Cottage mit super Ausblick oberhalb von Ribeirinha
Schönes sehr sauberes Ferienhaus mit tollem Meerblick. Ausstattung ist komplett, Sonnen Liegen wären schön gewesen. Doppelbett nur 1,40m. Ganz liebe Verwalterin, ansonsten zu empfehlen.

Un petit paradis
Nous avons passé 15 jours dans cette jolie petite maison merveilleusement bien située sur l’île de Sao Miguel. Nous pensions que les photos sur le site étaient truquées, mais il n’en est rien. Les nôtres sont identiques. ;-)) De retour chez nous, nous sommes déjà en manque des merveilleux couchers de soleil auxquels nous avons pu assister chaque soir et des petits déjeuners face à l’immensité de l’Atlantique. Au delà de ces magnifiques impressions, il y a eu une vraie rencontre avec l’âme de cette Casa da Canada. Antonio, le propriétaire, a eu à cœur de partager avec nous l’histoire de cette jolie maison construite par son grand-père. Bien que notre rencontre avec Antonio n’ait été que virtuelle, nous avons été accompagné par lui tout au long de notre séjour (itinéraires pour les visites, réservation d’un restaurant pour mon anniversaire, petits conseils divers ). Et tout cela avec un immense respect de notre intimité. Cela restera un séjour exceptionnel !

Just like home
We had a perfect 11 day-stay at Antónios fantastic house. It's in a very good location to explore the whole island by car and it's a superb spot to enjoy drinks and sunsets on the patio. We loved the house. It was well equipped and cosy inside and outside. António was a wonderful host (even without meeting him), he provided everything we needed and even more (eg. car seats for the children) and his recommendations were very helpful. He solved any problem within minutes via mail. To sum up we have to and want to recommend this place without hesitation! Thank you so much, António!

Schönes zentral gelegenes Ferienhaus
Schönes authentisches und zentral gelegenes Ferienhaus bei Ribeira Grande. Von hier aus sind alle Orte der Insel in ca 45 Minuten zu erreichen. Das Ferienhaus ist gut mit dem Auto von der Schnellstraße erreichbar, dennnoch hat man hier seine absolute Ruhe mit Blick auf den Ozean. Grosser Supermarkt ca 7 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt. Optimal zur Erkundung der gesamten Insel geeignet. Durch den Vermieter wurden viele Tipps und Tricks sowie Routenvorschläge zu Wanderungen auf der Insel bereits im Voraus gegeben. Auch während des Aufenthaltes stand er mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Insgesamt absolut empfehlenswert.

Simplesmente maravilhosa, localizada estratégico para conhecer a ilha.
A propriedade é fantástica com todas as condições necessárias para a nossa estadia. Tem wifi e ainda uma varanda com espaço exterior com uma vista espectacular sobre ribeira grande, ribeirinha e ainda o mar espectacular e um por do sol maravilhoso. Ainda um menção muito especial ao proprietário sr antonio Sebastião que é uma pessoa extremamente amável e nos pos a vontade. Um abraço ao sr Ricardo que foi quem nos recebeu e nos acomoda um na casa de forma aconchegante. 10 estrelas para tudo.
