The house was exactly as pictured. It was very clean and inviting. The view if the ocean was beautiful.A couple of wonderful little resturants close by within walking distance. The very narrow streets were new for us, but it added the the experience!The host was very accommodating and responsive to questions both before and during our stay. We would definitely recommend a stay at this home.

Wonderful home with incredible views

Five of us stayed in the home for five nights. The home is located in Vila Franca do Campo which we much preferred to the larger and more crowded Ponta Delgada. The two balconies provided outstanding views of the island just off the coast. Check-in was seamless as Carlos was waiting for us. Highly recommend it and we were sad to have to leave.

Marco was a truly exceptional host, warm and attentive, with a wealth of fantastic recommendations that made our stay unforgettable. The house itself was even lovelier than the photographs suggested—bright, airy, and perfectly positioned to take in sweeping views of the ocean. Each morning, we lingered over coffee as the waves shimmered in the sunlight, and each evening we savored a glass of wine while watching the sky melt into shades of pink and gold.Within just a few minutes’ walk, we found an abundance of excellent restaurants serving fresh, local flavors. Snorkeling, diving, and kayaking were all conveniently nearby, making it easy to fill our days with adventure. The community’s warmth made us feel instantly at home, and the charming local market just a block away—brimming with fresh produce, cheeses, and baked goods—is not to be missed. Vila Franca do Campo was everything we hoped for and more.

Wonderful Stay on Sao Miguel

Just spent 10 wonder days in Sao Miguel in this beautiful home with a view. My 3 friends and I started and ended our days enjoying the view from our balcony. Home was just as beautiful as it appears on the site. Beautifully decorated, cozy beds, all The amenities and lots of room for the 4 of us. Great location, lots of restaurants nearby, grocery stores and a wonderful bakery as well. Well located on the island. Mariusz was a wonderful host, very accommodating of our schedule and provided us with restaurant recommendations, shopping tips, and things to see. Carlos and Sabrina , the caretakers, were wonderful and helped us whenever we had questions. We really enjoyed our stay and are already talking about coming back.

About the host

Hosted by Mariusz Barylo

Host profile image
My name is Mariusz. I've always wanted to have a lovely house with a sea view. And finally that dream came true here in Azores. My neighbors and friends - Sabrina and Carlos (in the picture) - take care of the house and the guests.

Why they chose this property

My dream was to find a house overlooking the ocean and Esplanada do Ilhéu is a perfect house - when I found it in Vila Franca do Campo, I fell in love with that place. The unique microclimate makes the town very sunny!

What makes this property unique

A unique view at the famous Azorean landmark - Ilhéu de Vila, the enchanting islet formed due to the collapse of ancient volcano whose crater became a natural swimming pool with a small beach.
