Aside from a comfortable and elegant home, Antonio was the most wonderful host ever! I took a fall and broke my wrist early in our trip. He took us to the hospital, heled us get prescriptions filled, built a fire, and checked on us daily! Extraordinary hospitality!!

The owner greeted us and happily answered any questions. The location is 15 minutes from the airport and centrally on the island so we easily drove to all points of interest. The décor was fascinating antiques and modern kitchen appliances. The yard is a large magical garden with fruit trees and chickens. We loved it.

Perfect getaway oasis

Our stay at Antonio's place was a dream. It was quiet with a wonderful garden (and some lovely chickens!). Antonio was so welcoming and attentive to anything we needed. We 100% recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet place to rewind after a busy day exploring the island

Beautiful place!

Antonio was so welcoming and gave us tons of tips on where to go in the Azores. The property had everything we needed from washer to dishwasher and he had left us local food to try after the long plane ride. The location was in a small town but we easily drove to destinations all over the island. And the garden is beautiful!

Amazing Stay with Antonio!

Everything about our stay was great. Antonio had flawless pre arrival communication, allowed us an early checkin (which was much appreciated after an overnight flight) and welcome light breakfast was extremely hospitable. The property itself was as advertised and perfect for three active people. The setting and all the amazing gardens that are so well loved allowed for a peaceful and tranquil setting each day. Highly recommend this amazing property to all.

Beautiful island and accommodation

Wonderful stay at Antonio’s. He is so kind and caring! We loved his flat with morning chickens coming to greet us at our door! Lots of room in the flat and it is full of charm and authenticity.Antonio's is close to all of the islands attractions! Hope to return again some day!

Wonderful experience great place!

My family loved our stay! Antonio and Maggie were the best hosts. Great reception with fruit and other goodies upon arrival. Their knowledge of the island provided great recommendations for us. Five night stay was way to short to see the beauty of Sao Miguel and explore Antonio’s amazing gardens. Can’t wait to return to Antonio’s!

Beautiful villa on spectacular grounds

The property is the first floor of a restored villa on utterly amazing grounds. We loved the glassed in porch off the bedroom, which gave us a beautiful view of the gardens. The house has everything you need, including a full kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and recommend it highly.

The beautiful Vila Alegre

A charming homey stay in a restored vila. The gardens are endless and lush, planted and lovingly cared for by Antonio. This was our refuge after 2 weeks of travel in urban Portugal. It refreshed us, body and soul. Will come back!

Remarkable Refuge!

We were more than happy to have discovered Vila Alegre in the countryside outside of Ponta Delgada. It was beautiful, peaceful, and an amazing place to have been our home base for 5 days in Sao Miguel. Antonio was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and willing to answer questions to help guide our itinerary while there. We can't say enough good things about our experience there, and we definitely plan to return!

Paradise in Capelas

Vila Alegre was an absolute dream! Beautiful home w/ gorgeous gardens and a very kind host who is flexible and accommodating. All the comforts of home with beautifully curated antique furnishings made the home feel as special as it is. The ideal picture of a Portuguese Vila! We enjoyed staying here so much and was the perfect home base for all of our Sao Miguel adventures. Can't wait to return!

Authentic and peaceful

Antonio was the perfect host- so very friendly- as (are all the islanders,) advising us in places to go and where to eat. Plus a lovely welcome pack of food all produced on the island. Beautiful gardens and lovely to sit relaxing in the sun lounge after a great day out ,watching and listening to the birds . Would recommend this small Azorean haven to all!

Loved every minute of our stay!

From the moment we arrived and Antonio greeted us, it was perfect! He was such a kind man and we loved hearing about the gardens and enjoyed spending time sitting on the sun porch overlooking the beautiful property. The local foods he provided were delicious and were very much appreciated until we could get to a store. The apartment was spacious and immaculate…and decorated beautifully. Location couldn’t be better to get anywhere on the island. Thank you for a fantastic vacation and we hope to be able to return soon!

Wonderful Home

Antonio’s home was perfect in every way. The location was easy to drive to all parts of Sao Miguel. The apartment was larger than the photos show and fully equipped for all needs. Antonio was helpful, gracious and easy to contact if we had any questions. He greeted us with flowers from his beautiful garden and food from the Azores. I especially loved sitting in the sun room every morning with my coffee. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful Stay

Thank you Antonio for a wonderful stay in your family villa! We felt welcome and at home our entire stay. We appreciate the extra touches (snacks, welcome beverage) that made us feel like old friends instead of just visitors. The layout of the suite is extremely spacious and gives one total privacy. The grounds are beautiful and very relaxing. We were able to use the Vila Alegre as a home base for visiting the entire North and West sides of Sao Miguel. We highly recommend Vila Alegre for anyone visiting Sao Miguel, who is looking for an alternative to a typical hotel and wants to live in the community in a luxurious setting.
