Our stay at Ruben’s was more than we could have asked for! We are traveling with our kids ages 13 and 11 and the house was perfect for us! We only wish we had more time to take advantage of the barbecue and sauna. It’s also located in a nice location to access everything the Azores has to offer. We received a plentiful welcome basket and Ruben brought us the most delicious pineapple on our first morning. He was also available to answer any questions that came up. Highly recommend!

Dear Jennifer, thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was such a pleasure hosting you and your family, and I’m so glad Casa da Mata was the perfect fit for you and the kids. I loved sharing a taste of the island with you that pineapple is one of my favorite local treats to pass along! I’m happy the location worked well for exploring the Azores, and next time, I hope you’ll have a bit more time to relax with the barbecue and sauna. We’d love to welcome you all back anytime. Warmly, Rúben
