It was one of the best our stays. We felt like at home. Being in the heart of the old town and at the same time having such nice view of ocean is the best feeling. Karen made us feel like coming home with so useful advices and tips about local life. Big thank you.

Always very nice to hear that "het Boetje" did what it was supposed to do: make you feel at home "away" :) I hope "we" (all of São Miguel, het Boetje and me) convinced you to come back for a longer stay :)

Great location, away from the hustle and bustle of the city but not too far away. Wonderful host(ess). Friendly, helpful, gave good advice. My favourite was the patio where you can sit back, relax, and listen to the song birds, the ocean, and the church bells. Everything was great!!!

a very nice month enjoying Karen's friendy hospitality, feeling at home, in a charming garden

It was a rare experience to live there during one month, and share Karen's home, with independance, quietness, and joyfull presence. Discovering the islands as well as enjoying the authentic beauty of the dwelling among marvelous trees and flowers in front of the wide sea.

Karen was a wonderful host, she is a great communicator, the house was clean, and had so many extra little things that made the stay that much better. A beautiful view of the ocean, and the backyard was full of lovely flowers and plants. I will for sure book with Karen again, and my fiancée and I are recommending her to our family and friends.

Relaxing vacation

My husband and I traveled to the Azores and stayed at Karen’s place. We had everything we needed. She was a gracious host. Our flight to Ponta Delgada was late arriving. We rented a car and had a hard time finding her place as it was dark She met us at a location and we followed her to her place.

Exceptional Stay in Azores

Where to start? The experience at Karen's wonderful "Het Boetje" was top notch. The apartment, on a quiet seafront street, is traditional, spacious, comfortable, fully equipped and quirky in a very good way. There are 3 outdoor options, including a small elevated deck area with an uninterrupted view of the sea. What a spot for your morning coffee. As for host Karen, I found a very warm and welcoming person who ensured my stay was excellent in all respects. If I am fortunate enough to return to the Azores one day, guess what will be the first place I will try to book.

Peaceful, and quiet views of the sea

Very nice apartment, thoughtfully decorated and features 2 balconies with views of the ocean. My favorite time was sitting with a glass of wine looking out into the sea and hearing nothing! Coming from Lisboa and Porto, it was a welcomed change. The apartment has everything you need and nothing you don't, and the owner was very helpful in helping us get to it. We got lost and she met us partway to lead us to it. She also had a bottle of wine, orange juice and water in the fridge upon our arrival - A very nice, and welcome touch for weary travelers! I highly recommend this little jewel in Lagoa, Sao Miguel! Thank you!

The Cozy Apartment on the South Coast (Het Boetje) was a great choice. It’s on the edge of Lagoa, just a short walk to the ocean path. The apartment was super comfortable, especially the living room. It was the perfect size for us, well-designed, decorated, furnished, and absolutely immaculate. There are two outdoor sitting areas, both with incredible views of the ocean. We enjoyed a glass of wine every evening on the upper deck. The shower was A and the kitchen had all necessities. Parking was super easy, the spot in front of the apartment was always open. The apartment and neighborhood were perfectly quiet. The neighborhood was safe and secure. The washing machine was quick. The owner was warm and welcoming; check-in and check-out were flawless. As frequent travelers, we always appreciate attention to details, and the apartment was clearly presented by someone who knows travelers’ needs. Thank you!!!

This is an amazing place on many levels. The location is perfect to be able to explore the entire island and Lagoa is not very touristy and is quiet. The apartment is so beautiful. I feel like I am in a home that was created with love and artistry. All the furnishings, art on the walls and tile work makes it very special. There are two balconies so you can sit out and see the water and the sunset and eat. The host Karen is very responsive and also very interesting. We got lost finding the place and she responded immediately. I hope to stay here again if I come back. The place is quite large and comfortable. Don’t hesitate to stay here. I will remember Karen and this apartment as a highlight of my visit to the Azores. Thank you.

Gemütliche Ferienwohnung in der Altstadt

Die Ferienwohnung liegt in der Altstadt von Lagoa. Die Straßen sind sehr eng und es ist morgens laut, was wir aber wussten. Die Wohnung ist mit alten Möbeln eingerichtet und es ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Trotz Anreise um 01.00 nachts wartete die Vermieterin auf uns. Es waren Lebensmittel für den ersten Tag vorhanden. Für Leute, die es gemütlich mögen, empfehlenswert. Wer modernen Komfort haben möchte, sollte lieber ins Hotel gehen oder eine entsprechende Wohnung mieten.
