"Very nice "

"We had the most amazing vacation in Sao Miguel. The hydrangeas were in full bloom during our stay and were absolutely stunning throughout the entire island. The house was so welcoming, comfortable and clean. Jose was very responsive to our requests and questions. The house had the most stunning views of the ocean, fully equipped with everything you will need, and is located within walking distance to the beach. It’s centrally located to visit every aspect of the island. We definitely recommend staying here! "

"Jose was wonderful in allowing us an early check-in due to our travel schedule. We had a small difficulty with the lockbox but José resolved the issue quickly, and it was our first exposure to the neighbors, who went above and beyond to be helpful and friendly. I cant say enough about the neighbors on both sides of the house. The location is stunning, our only regret is that it rained quite a bit so we couldn’t be outside on the deck as much as we’d have liked. All in all a wonderful stay, thank you!"

"Location was great, town was very walkable with very good restaurants near by. Super easy to get to all areas of the island from this spot."

"Property was better than pics, very spacious with a great location in a quite area,easy to get anywhere "

"The two bedroom unit where we stayed was lovely with vaulted ceilings in the living areas, a wood stove, comfortable furnishings and a well-equipped kitchen. The views from the windows front and back were gorgeous - ocean on one side and mountains at the back. Marion, the owner, was an absolutely great host - kind, sensitive, super friendly and helpful! She gave us lots of good suggestions for things to do and see. Despite not having the best week of weather, we totally enjoyed our stay! Many thanks to Marion "

"Loved our stay in Moinhos. Great little beach town. Very laid back. Beautiful scenery and great hiking steps from our door. Best restaurant right across the street. Restaurante Mare Cheia! "

"This apartment was exactly as pictured and represented. It's located in a quiet area - Ponto Formoso - a short 20-25 minute drive from the airport and 5-10 minutes from the bigger town of Ribiera Grande. The view from the apartment is the best. We loved eating every meal on the balcony and ending our days laying out on the beach and going for a swim. There are two life guard towers and snack bar style restaurant on the beach. If you want to surf, head up to the bigger Santa Barbara beach where the waves are perfect for surfing. The furnishings in the apartment are simple, but what more do you need in a beach rental? The parking lot up the hill from the apartment has plenty of spots. Both the owner and property manager are responsive to questions. Two pieces of advice for those staying here: (1) Stop at Pingo-Doce grocery store on your way from the airport to the apartment. It's located on the way, in Ribiera Grande. We didn't know about it until later in the trip and the store closer to Porto Formoso (Spar) is very small/not well-stocked. Pingo-Doce is excellent. (2) You must eat at the restaurant up the street from the apartment - Mare Cheia. Best food and preparation we ate on the island. We went twice. I wish I could replicate how they perfectly grill the fresh fish catches of the day. If we get the chance to go back to Sao Miguel, we would stay here again and for longer!"

"The apartment was perfect for us. So much was provided; the welcome pack was out of this world. From fig jam to wine to eggs to cheese to chorizo spread and much more. All local produce which was delicious. The apartment itself felt roomy as did the balcony. There were games, body boards, information, fab fridge freezer and a lovely stocked bathroom and equipped kitchen. Miguel was on hand for advice and tips for discovering the island. I wouldn’t hesitate to re- book. The best part was the view and hearing the sea crashing from inside. Just perfect! "
