"The staff was friendly. The spa was very nice. "

"This was an amazing rental. The house is quite large with 3 bedrooms and a bath upstairs and a large living are on the main level. It was very well equipped for dining in and everything was in working order. There is a beautiful large terrace facing the ocean where you can also relax and eat. The beach is only a 2 minute walk and the host even provided beach towels. The location is good but expect to do some traveling to the popular sight seeing areas. The island is small enough though to get around easily. We loved our stay at this beautiful home. "

"You cannot beat the location of this apartment overlooking the Porto Formoso harbor! Everything was clean and well appointed. We enjoyed making breakfast every morning in the kitchen and eating on the patio. At night, the restaurant up the street is one of the best places we ate at on the island. On the other way down the street is a small market and cafe. "

"The beach location of this home is excellent, as the beach is clean, has a stream for young ones to play in, given that the waves can be big and difficult if you are not a strong swimmer. There is a beautiful waterfall to visit near the public parking lot, too. It was a 15 - 25 minute drive to most locations to explore the island or to have dinner each night. We would likely stay in Ribeira Grande next time we visit São Miguel, as this was more centrally located to our trip.The home was clean, but we struggled with the bug situation as there are no screens to prevent them from entering the home when windows and doors are open. We saw flies & ants, plus a cockroach run under the laundry machine on our last day, and spent time waiting to kill it so it wouldn't get into our belongings. We ended up keeping the small trash can on the porch and throwing the bag in the dumpster near the beach daily to reduce the ants. Our other issue was the amount of hot water. There is only enough for 1 shower, 2 only if you are VERY fast. This was a huge challenge for a family of 4 coming home from the beach. We all had many cold showers. Another challenge was that there were no fans to help with airflow other than small desk top fans that only help if you sit in front of them. Lastly, the furniture on the patio was not like in the picture. There were two broken plastic chairs and one lounge chair that did not have a cushion. No tables to put drinks on or have a snack. Improvements could be made"

"Lovely stay, perfect location and a great host that truly cared about our experience!"

"The property met all of the needs of our multi generational family. Great location easy to walk or drive anywhere we wanted to go to! I would highly recommend this location to anyone travelli ng to Sao Miguel. Easy place to get to from the airport and puts you right in the center of the island. Ribiera Grande is the bees knees!!!!"
