South Sea Rooftop
Charming apartment. Perfect stay for our 3 night visit. Clean, great view and walkable.

Center of Ponta Delgada - ocean and sunset view
This property is exceptional! Very clean, spacious and in a fantastic location. The hostess left wonderful recommendations for local restaurants and activities that suited our needs! The hostess checked in with us to ensure that we had everything we needed during our stay! What a great vacation!

Quinta dos Sabores Farm SKY HOUSE
Our stay at this charming farm in Ribeira Grande was such a memorable experience. The property itself had so much character, with a peaceful and authentic atmosphere that made us feel right at home. What truly set this stay apart was the warmth and generosity of the host, who welcomed us with homemade guava drink, bolo lêvedo, and delicious jams, such a thoughtful way to share the flavors of the Azores. Every corner of the farm felt special, with a perfect mix of rustic charm and comfort. It was the kind of place that invites you to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures of nature and good company. We only stayed for two days, but it was enough to leave a lasting impression. We would absolutely love to return and experience it all again!

The View
The View was a wonderful place to stay in Ponte Delgada. It was within easy walking distance of the restaurants, shops and sites that we wanted to visit in the city. The apartment was a relaxing place to be at the beginning and end of each day, with everything we needed for an easy stay. We loved the all the windows and the doors to the little deck off both the kitchen and main bedroom - giving light and air and views of the city and ocean for both sunrise and sunset. Miguel and Francisco were very friendly and helpful, answering questions and offering info to make our stay more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

2 Towers Apartment - Historic Center Ponta Delgada
We were very satisfied with this airbnb. Great location and very clean. Lots of restaurants walking distance nearby. We were a couple and it was perfect for us. Will definitely look this place up again if we are lucky enough to return to Sao Miguel.

Margarida House - Stone Apartment
It was our first trip to the island and we stayed our first 3 days at the Margarida house and it did not disappoint. Alvaro was extremely helpful and responsive with the entire process to make sure everything went smoothly. The apartment had everything you could possibly need and it was topped off with a little basket of local gifts with snacks and coffee pods. It was like staying at home with the apartment being so well prepared with towels, soap, shampoo, hair dryer, panini press, wine opener, coffee maker and fully stocked kitchen. There is also a side table filled with local activities and great recommendations of restaurants in a little culinary booklet of Ribiera Grande. Great value for a space that’s in the heart of the island with easy access to the airport and many beautiful spots to visit within a 30 minute drive. Thanks for the great stay !

Ocean Vista (Premium CityCenter)
Bruno’s apartment was amazing; clean, updated and spacious! Location was perfect and there is also a parking spot included in the stay. The views were great and we utilized the balcony every day/night. You can catch a beautiful sunset if you look in the direction of the airport. Bruno took the time to put together a nice outline of restaurants and locations to visit in the city. Only downfall, the elevator is quite small but I think that is normal for the area! All in all, 10/10 stay!

Awesome place for our short stay. It was spacious yet felt cozy still. Would definitely recommend!

Beach view house! nice restaurants. swimming area
great place for a short rest, close to the center very helpful owner, garage:) I recommend!

Capelas Mansion - The Main House
Absolutely perfect place to stay. The view from the upper deck was stunning. Well stocked with all your needs. Don't need to run to the grocery store on the first day to get supplies. We were thankful for that. The gift basket with fruit, wine, and Portuguese sweet bread was a nice tough. We were a group of four on a weeklong girls trip. We each had our own room and very comfortable. Heaters in the room were helpful Dow those of us used to warmer climates. Plenty of hot water for multiple shower. Can't say enough good things. The best was location on the island and 30 minute drives to all the places we visited. Did i mention the gardens. wow!!

Miramar
Of all of my years using airbnb, this was the best place we've stayed. The home is essentially newly renovated and in a central area for seeing the Island. I highly recommend renting Helena's place. I'd undoubtedly rent this place again if/when we come back.

Water from Alto Main House
The house was in a fantastic location. We were two families of four and found it very accommodating. the location in the island was fantastic. Getting to the place was slightly tricky, but our Skida Fabria rental had no trouble as long as we folded the mirrors. The hostess was very accommodating and pleasant. It was as-advertised in every way. Thank you for a great stay!

Casa na Ribeira / House at the River (beach 3min)
Carlos is a wonderful host! His place is very clean and is located in a great spot for walking around town. The space was very clean and comfortable. Thank you Carlos!

The blue cottage
The Blue cottage offers a real azorean experience settled within the neighborhood of a small village. The house is beautiful, well restored while maintaining its original charm. Lots of space in the bathroom, shelves, hooks, etc. The garden is spectacular! While the town center is only 1 mile away, logistically is difficult to walk therefore a car is needed. The hosts are wonderful. Florbela is the most helpful and responsive host I’ve encountered.

OCEAN VIEW House (airport&city)
Just outside of Ponta Delgado Center. Delicious cafe at end of street, convenient market a couple of doors down. Convenient parking in various locations. Only complaints (which aren’t Bruno’s issues). Loud, barking dogs late at night making sleeping difficult. Pet waste on sidewalks, that you need to avoid when walking. Thanks Bruno and Horacio.

Ilhéu at sight
mariana’s apartment is super comfortable and clean, great view and just some minutes away from a great beach, we had an amazing time there.

Vila Franca do Campo Marina
We loved our stay! You can see the ocean off one side of the patio. Walkable to marina and restaurants. Great space.

Marina Mar II -T3-B
Everything is great! The place is wonderful and super spacious. The super responsive host and responds at the moment if you have any questions. Everything is perfect. If I went back I would definitely choose this place again.

Sun and Beaches Apartment
Great apartment in an excellent location. Close to beach, supermarket, bar, cafe and on the bus line. Very quiet area. Our hosts were very gracious and friendly. Their hospitality and generosity exceeded our expectations to ensure that we were comfortable and that our stay on the island was enjoyable. Would most definitely recommend this apartment

Vizinha’s Hubby’s Apartment
Great location and spacious apartment with great view. I had a little trouble with the 50+ steps up and down to the front door so people with physical challanges might find it daunting, especially with groceries, but the view makes it worth effort :). Great living area, would have enjoyed more comfortable chairs for sitting, reading, etc. (we spent a month there so more time in apartment than most using it as a base. There is big church right across street so the bells are quite noticeable if sound bothers you. Walking distance to mall (with great food court) and great botanical parks. Our hosts were great and communicative. We enjoyed the space and our experience, and would definitely recommend and stay again.

At El Rei's House
We loved our stay at Casas D'El Rei. The location is really good, near Santa Bárbara beach (about 15 mins walking distance), the apartments are well equipped, very comfortable, and you also have parking. The whole island is wonderful but we liked staying in this central location with easy access to explore the rest of the island. We were welcomed by Ana and also met other members of the team who made us feel welcome straight away! We highly recommend Casa D'El Rei! Thanks for having us!

epicenter SKYBAR
Place feels safe. It's located in a private neighborhood with automatic fence. Dedicated private parking spot is under a roof so the car is extra secure. Few minutes by car from the city center. Apartment was really large, and comfortable. We had a lovely stay.

Consul's Ocean View II
This place was perfect for expansive views and a great location relative to the busy areas and restaurants!
