My husband and I spent a lovely week in this three-bedroom/two-bathroom property in September. It was an easy fifteen-minute drive from the Ponta Delgado airport with (usually) easy access to parking within steps of the property. If parking is not readily accessible next to the property, one can easily park at the lot at the harbor and walk to the property. The property was impeccably clean and well equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. The washer and dryer are an absolute blessing for people (like us) who like to travel light. We didn't even have to provide laundry detergent. The master suite was comfortable. The view from the upstairs terrace was spectacular. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The appliances were all user-friendly. The owner, although not nearby, was responsive to all of our concerns. Unfortunately, during our stay the air-conditioning units were not working properly, but the weather was temperate, so it was not a difficulty. There was construction next door, and the workers, we felt, invaded our privacy, but the construction will finish, and the a/c will be fixed, so these are certainly not a permanent stain on the property. We enjoyed many afternoons on the terrace overlooking the ocean and enjoying the warm sunshine. The outdoor furniture was plentiful and quite comfortable. We liked to return to the property after a day of sight-seeing to open all the windows and the upstairs and back door to allow the ocean breezes to flow through. We tried a couple of restaurants in Lagoa, O Capitao and Borda d'Agua. The octopus salad at Borda d'Agua is good, as is the tuna. O Capitao is fun. Continente is a wonderful supermarket (complete with wine and liquor). We walked there from the property (about 15 minutes). It is also an easy stop on one's way back into town from sight-seeing. Do not miss Furnas. The botanical garden is gorgeous, and the walk around the lake is amazing. Sete Cidades is something not to miss. This was one of our favorite places, and we hope that we can return, not only to Sao Miguel, but to this lovely property in this charming village.
