    The place was nicely decorated and clean. We loved the upper deck to sit out in the early evening. The owners provided lots of ideas on what to do in the area.

    The place is nicely decorated, not your usual cheap furnishings. Nice patio with ocean view, though you have to go up the stairs. The location s perfect for exploring the island. Parking is easy. Very nice and responsive hosts.

    Very well received by the helpful owner, lots of great advice available from them and in the house for making the best out of the trip to São Miguel. Lovely and clean house for up to 2 couples, with much to do even without leaving the property,...

A beautiful place to relax and be in peace. All the people that have been here were amazed with the house and property. Very nice, quiet area, very friendly neighbourhood. Very good areas for picnics, lay down in the grass, feel the nature and enjoy the breathtaking view. The private viewpoint is perfect to see the sunset, or just to chill out. The house is prepared for four people. it is not allowed extra guests to the reservation.The paradise is here, please treat it well.
We are a couple of teachers that felt in love with this place. We love nature and the beach. We are both very helpful so if there is any problem we will try to help you.
One of the best things about this place are the neighbours. Very friendly people and always there for you. You are going to love them. It is a very quiet place so during the night it is important to respect the others. Silence after 10 p.m. is obliged.
