Holiday rentals in Ribeira Quente

This place is amazing! We enjoyed the apartment for two weeks as our home base to explore Sao Miguel. With its location in Lagoa it is the perfect getaway from the business of Ponta Delgada but still close enough to go on early whale watching tours.. or to any direction on the island. The kitchen is very well setup - we could prepare meals on multiple days but also enjoyed the walks to the nearby restaurants.. With breakfast and dinner on the roof top terrace this place is a unique find and we will be happy to stay again! Thank you for making such a place a reality!

If you go to Sao Miguel, STAY HERE! The views alone make it totally worth it. The house is absolutely stunning, The beds were so comfortable, snacks were left for us, the house is stocked with everything you could want in a home stay but most importantly the reception from Welcome Buddy and the house owner brought this house to perfection. We had some bad luck with flights being cancelled and had to forgo part of our trip. The hosts were accommodating to our new plans in the most generous way. It was my daughters 25th birthday and they arranged a party with a chef and decorations for the most gorgeous wonderful dinner from the highest rated chef on the island. The weather was a big bummer for us but having this house and these people here made up for all of the weather. The island (at least when we went) is very humid so bring clothes that dry quickly. We will return to this house when we go back to Sao Miguel.

Our stay at the property was amazing - the house is even more beautiful in person. It had all the necessary facilities and the host was extremely helpful, answered our questions very quickly and very flexible all throughout our stay. Would definitely recommend a stay here and look forward to coming back!

We had a beautiful stay with Ana. She was an exceptional host, and the house was so peaceful and clean. The house was well stocked with everything we could have needed; we appreciated the books and nice crib for our toddler. Her cats were always there to greet us and were so sweet. Great location for our stay, the town has a grocery store and great restaurants. Thank you, Ana!

Beautiful base for Sao Miguel We loved Erico‘s place which was comfortable, beautifully decorated and charming. It also was very well equipped with dishes, spices, generous towels und great beds. Parking on the steep street is a bit daunting to start with and there are barking dogs just like everywhere else on the island that break up the serenity but the place is a real haven and between walking to the beach and driving to the different corners of the island it’s in a great place too. Érico was a responsive generous host, from the welcome bread and milk to restaurant recommendations , thank you Erico, we would definitely come again

As an editor for a residential and architecture magazine, I have seen many holiday homes. Mario's house is the kind you fall in love with right away. The renovation is very carefully done, and the decor looks modern, but at the same time warm and inviting. Three separate residential units offer enough privacy, even if you share the house with other guests - which did not bother us at all. The amenities are great, and the pool and the view are simply fantastic. I can well imagine that other travelers who value style and comfort will also love this house. All in all: worth a trip!

My daughter and I spent a week here and I'm so glad we weren't tempted to explore any of the other islands. Sao Miguel is so beautiful and has so much to offer, especially if you like to get off the beaten track and are prepared to drive through narrow streets and walk up & down inclines! Lagoa itself has all you may need within walking distance, and access to a modern mall and supermarket within a short driving distance. We tried several of the local restaurants and were not disappointed with any of them. It is a seafood lover's paradise. The one that stood out for us was O Rui but it was a close race. Francisco's home is exactly as pictured and described. It is well furnished, with new appliances, a nicely equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. The view of the Atlantic ocean cannot be surpassed, especially from the top floor. Francisco was helpful and generous, and responded to our intermittent questions in a timely manner. We were so very sad to leave!

We loved this place! Amazing view from the backyard. Highly recommend staying here if you are traveling to São Miguel.
