Absolutely perfect location. Close to many amenities and yet not amongst the hustle and bustle of the town centers. Perfect place for a quick getaway or a long term stay . Great hosts
We loved the location and the property was very comfortable for our needs. It was nice to stay in a traditional home rather than a hotel. The host was wonderful as well!
We had a very nice 2 weeks vacation at this place and liked it a lot. The house is a very unique and tasteful renovated old house but with all necessary modern equipment as needed for a holiday estate.Very good is also the gardens backdoor, opening to the footpath to the sheltered swimming place of the village in about 850 m. I used it nearly every morning.Thank you very much for letting us stay at your holiday home for 2 weeks.

Thank you for staying with us . You will be always welcome !
We loved our stay here. The house has a lot of character (which we loved) and the views from the top floor and the cliff walk are AMAZING. The house was very clean, and there was a good supply of towels and bedding. There are some good restaurants a short drive away, a large grocery store, and you can walk along the path into the center of town and take a dip in the natural pool there! The only tricky things were the spiral staircase (could be difficult for some, but there is a bedroom and the bathroom downstairs) and the parking spot along the roadway is tight but manageable. Overall, we’d highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for something outside a sterile hotel experience. We would definitely stay here again.
All was as advertised - quaint, cozy, clean, good location, super backyard and views, handing parking for 1 car. Spacious for a couple or 2. If you like cats, there are a few that like to hang out in the backyard.
Backyard with gorgeous sea view and access. Charming home, tastefully decorated. Accommodating and helpful host. Comfortable beds. You could not do better!
We enjoyed our stay. Joana was very helpful and responsive with all of our questions. The cottage has a garden with access directly to a wonderful cliff walk along the ocean. The only caution I would give is that to get here you have to drive down a very narrow, steep street.
Our stay was so lovely! We really enjoyed how close the house was to the water- we walked to the natural pool every day, made friends with the locals, and enjoyed exploring nearby attractions. The house itself is old and charming with modern conveniences that make it very comfortable. Joana was a very helpful host and always accommodated any questions I had. We will be back!
We enjoyed staying at this property for four nights in early April, 2025. Although our weather was chilly and at times rainy, this property had a warm cozy feel to it. It was ample room for just the two of us and we enjoyed using the woodstove nightly and an ample supply of firewood was available. Joana, the owner welcomed us with a nice gift of fruit, bread and jam. One issue with the washing machine, was quickly resolved by a simple call to her.A walking trail borders the back of the property and separates it from the cliffs to the ocean. A great place for walking!
The view through the gate and sitting on the cliffs was awesome, better than we expected. The cliff walk was also fantastic. The inside of cottage was close to what we expected. A traditional azorean home. Plenty of space for our needs and clean. As far as I could tell there was no central heating, but the space heaters were enough. Parking is on the road but we could always find a spot across the street on the sidewalk, which is what the locals do. The town was quaint and had it been warmer, I would have been in natural pools. Lastly, communication with owner was five stars!
Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet. Wir haben im oberen Schlafzimmer geschlafen und es genossen bei geöffneter Tür das Meer rauschen zu hören. Wir haben abends gerne auf der schönen Terrasse gesessen. Da hat uns eine Beleuchtung gefehlt.
Excellent hébergement pour ceux qui désirent visiter l'ouest de l'île. Très bien localisé.Résidence en bord de mer avec accès direct au trekking.Très propre avec tous les accommodements nécessaires.Excellent accomodation for whom want to discover the west part on the island. Very well located.Residence directly by the sea with direct access to trekking.Very clean with all necessary accomodation.

Liked: Cleanliness, location
A very cool place to lay your head for a few evenings. Old world charm on the ocean with easy access to all corners of the island and airport. The home came equipped with everything needed for an extended stay (an extra beach towel or two would have been an asset). I was travelling with my two university aged kids, the only downside being the smaller mattress in the loft was a bit thin and didn’t provide the best sleep. All in all I’d recommend this location in a heartbeat, and would be eager to stay again. The owner was very responsive and check-in was a breeze. The fresh fruit and local bread was a welcome surprise when we checked in.

Via de achtertuin kom je direct op een pad dat uitkijkt over de kliffen. Echt indrukwekkend. Vanuit daar kan je verschillende tripjes maken. En delgado is max n kwartier rijden. Op loopafstand alleen een bar/snackbar gevonden. Maar je kan mooie wandelingen maken langs de kliffen
Une maison typique en bord de falaise. L'ocean, un sentier, une piscine naturelle, un petit village avec restau et minimarket. C est sensationnel. Pour Joana : il faudrait juste renouveler et compléter la vaisselle. Par exemple le grille pain qui ne fonctionne pas bien. Rien qui ne gâche le séjour. On a adoré
Wir sind das 3. Mal auf São Miguel gewesen und uns hat es wieder einmal umgehauen, wie grün, erfrischend und erholsam die Insel ist. Das Haus hat eine tolle Lage und ist gut ausgestattet.
The house is located in a quiet street by the sea.
It is a 10-minute walk to the public bathing area.
The house is nicely furnished with almost everything you need.
I particularly liked the sea view from the upper bedroom and the open design of the living area, dining area and kitchen.
In addition, very nice and helpful contact with the owner.
My husband and I stayed at this charming house while vacationing in the Azores. We had everything we needed there including a washing machine. The host was very sweet and helpful. Just a text away. She responds quickly. It’s in a good central location of the island.
