Jul 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic property We spent 5 nights here with friends and family. The location is out of the way, which we expected, very quiet, but close enough to groceries, etc. We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub, as well as the herd of cows that were on the adjacent property for most of our stay. The supplies were adequate and basic. We appreciated the welcome basket with coffee/filters, tea, local bread, jam, etc. There were very basic kitchen supplies- salt, pepper, sugar. This is similar to other European VRBOs we have stayed in. We would have appreciated a basic welcome document, as is common with VRBOs but figured out how everything worked anyways. Communication with property manager was quick and she provided us with some suggestions for local attractions. We would stay here again. ##### Susan M. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### William M. Apr 18, 2016 #### Casa Bellavista on San Miguel in the Azores My wife and I stayed in Casa Bellavista for a month in February-March and had a grand time in that part of San Miguel. The house is very well named, with spectacular views of the ocean on one side, green hills on the other and pleasant cows as neighbours. One can hear the silence. The house itself is as nice as it is described: spacious, comfortable, well laid out, a wonderful kitchen with ample counter and storage space, and huge balconies. It was a bit cold when we first arrived but a couple of heaters made it comfortable. Weather kept us out of the lovely swimming pool, and daunting hills from using the bicycles but they are there to be used. The internet worked very well and the TV carried English language stations. There are pleasant and challenging walks from the house, and many others are accessible by car. Mario and Marcilia are charming hosts, kind, caring and attentive to all our many questions. San Miguel is one of the most beautiful places we have ever visited, with spectacular colours, views and vistas at every turn. We must return to Casa Bellavista at some point for later spring flowers, and will highly recommend it to our friends. ##### William M. Stayed 27 nights in Feb 2016 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane G. Jun 6, 2018 #### Updated home with all the amenities in a beautiful location off the beaten path If you're looking for modern conveniences in a peaceful, quiet setting with amazing views, then look no further. Mario and Marcilia are terrific hosts and have turned an old rustic, traditional Azorean house into a modern home that beautifully incorporates the old with the new. You can see the ocean, meadows, mountains, and village of Lomba Da Fazenda while sitting in a chair on the balcony. There is easy access by car to the house and the main road that circles the island. A nearby grocery store makes it convenient to pick up items as needed. We didn't use the pool because the weather was too cool for us to swim but it's a nice pool. We felt very safe at the house and in the area. The house is clean and it was nice having a washing machine so we didn't have to bring large pieces of luggage. We spent the mornings and most of the day visiting different parts of the island and our evenings at the house. We enjoyed being able to use the grill and induction stove to cook dinners. Internet service was really good so we could check in if we felt like it. You do have to walk up stairs to get to the main living space which wasn't an issue for us but could be for others. Two or three couples could rent the house together and find space for privacy if/when needed. The house has a lovely fireplace in the living room. There are cows and horses in the meadows surrounding the house but most of the land is used for producing hay so it was quiet. If you haven't visited Sao Miguel, you will be surprised by how much there is to see even though it's a small island. ##### Diane G.

Jul 5, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### your own private paradise Words cant describe the views and scenery when you are lying on the sun terrace or from the balcony or when in the stunning infinity pool. It is utterly peaceful apart from birdsong but not isolated as Nordeste is a 10 min drive away and there is a grocery store 2 mins away. Also very quick access to the main road which links all the main tourist spots. Our personal favourite was Ribeira das Caldeiros and Sete Cidades but the view points along the north East coast are also spectacular. We feel the house is in one of the nicest locations on the island and seemed to be in sunshine more than inland spots. We really enjoyed driving through all the wee villages which are not mentioned in the tourist brouchures and loved all the flowers and the greenery along the roadsides. We had some lovely meals in the Lince hotel restaurant Clerigos and some more basic but equally enjoyable meals in Esplanade in Nordeste. The house itself was extremely clean, all mod cons with constant hot water and plenty of channels on the tv. There re fly screens on all the windows so you can keep the windows open and enjoy a breeze in the house. Access is via a dirt track (about 100m) but it is fine to drive and means you have no traffic going past the house which is a huge bonus! The owner was friendly and helpful with her communication. This was our first visit to the Azores and we have rather fallen in love with the place. My husband is a keen photographer and he has taken many beautiful pictures. We hope to return and can recommend the house without hesitation. Thank you for letting us stay.xx ##### susan g. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2021 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cosmin R.

Nov 8, 2017 #### Erholsamer Familienurlaub mit Wunderschöner Aussicht in tollem Haus Schöner erholsamer Familienurlaub in einem tollen Haus in wunderschöner Umgebung. Dank an Marcilia und Mario die sich stets um uns gekümmert haben und mit Rat und Tat zur Seite standen. Die Umgebung und das Haus sind wirklich Schön. Nur die Restaurants in der nähe sind so spät im Jahr nicht mehr wirklich auf Gäste eingestellt. Ansonsten gerne wieder!!! ##### Christian N.
