Sao Roque Apartments

We stayed at Pilar’s room at the end of April 2017 and we had a great experience! To get there from the airport you can get a airbus ticket for 3 euro each way; the bus stops at the VIP hotel, which is located within 5min walking from Pilar’s building. The building is located in a calm residential area. We walked to the city centre several times (around 20 minutes stopping to see stuff, but you probably could do it faster if walking on a mission). There is parking outside as well as in the building, in case you decide to rent a car to see the island (which we eventually did). In the proximity (5min walking) there is a big supermarket, where you can get anything from groceries to take way food. There is also a local restaurant just 2 minutes way from the flat where you can eat in or take away. The room itself was exactly as in the photos (lovely and so cosy!). The decoration is lovely and we really felt at home there. The mattress is really good and we slept very comfortably. The room faces the outdoors car parking of the building, which is very calm, and we heard no noise at all. The bathroom is big and has everything you may need. The entire flat was very clean, including our bathroom and room, and the bed linens and towels were immaculately white. Pilar and Rita were the best hosts we ever had! We had a great tea party on arrival, which was great since we were starving! They were also very helpful in explaining where to go and how to get around in the island. Pilar was always available on the phone to answer any queries we had. We also used the kitchen to prepare some light meals, which at the end of every day felt like heaven. They also kindly set aside some space in the fridge for us to store our stuff. The wireless connection was good and overall we had nothing bad to say. In all, I am sure that I will contact Pilar again when visiting S. Miguel next time.

Room quite beautiful, graceful and large. The house also charming, beautifully decorated, private bathroom also neat and so the Pilar as Rita made us feel completely at ease and at home! and where it was at home. For all this and much more is to recommend and repeat another time.

Mon séjour a été exellent ... la maison est très belle et est encore égale à ce que les images montrent. Le ubiety est proche d'un supermarché et à 15 minutes du centre. Pilar est un hôte très précis et très disponibles et des conseils à votre domicile.

We can recommend this hotel in any case, as we had a very wonderful time there. Joana and her family are very warm and have to make a real effort to make the stay as perfect as possible. The apartment is very modern, very clean and furnished with great attention. The outlook is an absolute highlight and the pool at the main house could be used to relax. The perfect place to unwind and relax.

Aesthetically, the space/apt was truly the thing of fairytales. The (beautiful) pictures didn't even do it proper justice. It was my dream place. And Joana and her family were lovely and kind hosts. That being said, I have to be completely honest for those looking to stay after me, that it was VERY (unbearably) loud at night (throughout the nights sometimes until 2 am) throughout my entire stay. There are many music festivals, etc that I do understand are beyond hosts' control, yet I did feel justifiably upset because the sole two things I explained I needed were peace and quiet and working, no-fail internet for work (which I was assured of). On both counts, there were several wi-fi "reboots," misfires, and glitches (including a midnight alarm system fail that lasted with sirens for nearly an hour). Each time, Joana did indeed respond quickly and "fix" issues, but my idea of an ideal airbnb is arriving, receiving key, and never (or having an issue to necessitate) needing to see/interact with the hosts again...sadly, one issue after another didn't allow this "away" mentality or anonymity. Joana is lovely, the apt is beyond gorgeous, and I wish them the best, but I have to be honest and bottom line: I would not recommend this listing to friends, nor pay to stay here again.

Perfect place for a couple. Great location and very cool views. Will definitely be back!

I was only two days in the house of Senhora da Rosa. Regarding the house in particular, it is absolutely amazing as the photos show. Joana and her father received us very well and left us right at ease. Participated including a surprise I prepared for my girlfriend and were always very attentive. We hope to repeat soon.

The loft has amazing views and is in a quiet neighborhood. Joanna and her father Antonio were very responsive to any inquiries we had. The only drawback was there was an issue with the hot water that could not be resolved due to the holiday. Otherwise, great location and it's a very nice, well equipped apartment. It's equipped with a lot of amenities you don't normally get in European homes; things like HVAC, dryer and dishwasher. A very relaxing home.

The apartment is beautifully furnished and has 360 degree views, even from the sea! Check-in was smooth and very friendly. We felt very comfortable and would definitely come back.

The house is beautiful, with a fantastic view. Extremely clean and cozy. love

Extremely clean. Views are even better than I imagined (water, city lights, country hills/mountains). Host is very accommodating.

Excellent treatment of anfintriã. 5 stars.

The D.Vera was supersimpática us until we were seeking because we get lost, proved to be very available to help us. The house is located in an area of easy access, very quiet and close to shops.

It was a very nice and clean appartment in a quiet neighborhood. You can walk to the harbor in about 15 minutes. The airport was a 5 minute drive away. There is also a supermarket just around the corner. And if you like fastfood there is a Burger King and a McDonalds right next to the supermarket. Vera was very friendly and helpful. We had a good time staying there.

Apartment was as according to the picture you can see beautiful, modern and clean. We felt there really good and especially because Vera was amazing host. She replied super fast, communication was effortless, even we had one issue and she was able to fix it very very quickly, always available if you need something.Thank you Vera. Location is great, near to supermarket, not far from city center.Great price for such a nice place.

Staying at Vera's appartment was lovely! I was there with five other girls to travel around the island. The location is ideal, because we had enough to do in the evening in Ponta delgada which is only 5 minutes away by car (the centre). Vera was amazing by helping us out with renting a car, because we had some trouble with that on the airport. That really was great! Thanks again. The house was clean, the supermarket as well as the Mcdonals and Burger King are not more then five minutes away walking. We had a beautiful time at the Azores. Thanks for everything! Wish you all the best!

The anfitriona was very friendly amable y con us. It facilitates us all the information we need. The apartment was en magnificent conditions y bien very equipped, limpio, moderno y near y grocery stores. Si power I repetiré no doubt.

We rested at the end of September, all very much. Excellent organization, met us at the airport, help with rental cars. The apartment is located not far from the airport. Excellent apartment, clean, comfortable. All is not necessity for travelers. Many thanks to the hostess Vere, for their help and sympathy. Always ready to help and suggest. Any help. Very pleasant and nice people. Be sure to come back and stop only at them. Thanks again great !!!! We wish you the same good luck !!!!

We had a great stay at Vera's place. Conveniently located near a grocery store. Very clean and had everything we needed during our stay.

The host are very friendly, the apartment was as described.

The apartment is excellent! Home away from home!

Very clean, friendly, everything completely there! Excellent value - for - money.

I loved the apartment, despite being a T0 is super spacious and squeaky clean! It smelled all very well to bath towels !!! ;) Thanks for the sympathy!

I and my wife were greeted wonderfully by Mr. Ricardo (Spouse Mrs. Nelia), he made sure to get to the airport and on the way to the apartment, made a short guided tour of Ponta Delgada, the show- in the places of interest. We were met at the apartment with a small basket with very good Azorean products. The apartment was expected by the description, is located in a quiet area, with some mini markets and restaurants close. It is about 10/15 minutes walk from the center of town and has plenty of parking for the car. As I said to Mr. Ricardo, I will recommend to all my friends who need a small apartment in San Miguel to spend a vacation. Thank you for your hospitality again.

Very nice place, clean and comfortable. Big bathroom, light room. Close to historic center. Polite and responsible owners. Recomend to everyone!

Ricardo came to pick us up at the airport which was greatly appreciated. They were willing to give us help if needed. very friendly

PROs: - Great location. approximately 5-10min walk to the marina. - Very well maintained, clean and comfortable. - Nelia was very responsive with email communication. - Ricardo greeted us, and was very pleasant, courteous and informative. CONs: - water pressure in the shower is not very strong - mattress is a bit flimsy, and pillows are flat. - during our 2 night stay, the Internet went down 4 times. I just unplugged the router and plugged it back in to restore the connection. I reported it to Nelia and Ricardo checked it out. He couldn't find the problem, but it appears to be sporadic. In any case, they are aware now, of the problem and the fix. Looks like they might just need to replace the router. RECOMMEND TO OTHERS?: YES!!!

We enjoyed the stay in the Azores and especially the apartment of D.Ana. He received us very well and gave us lots of tips and everything that could not miss in our short stay of 3 days! Regarding the apartment can only say that is fantastic! Very cozy, with all that we need is that makes us even feel that we are at home! We were facilitated renting a car to see the island and ran all the best, no doubt is the best way to know the island. We recommend 200% and we would like to repeat.

The apartment is very nice and easy to access. It's a great quality / price ratio. Recommend!

Thank you so very much for the warm welcome! Ana was super patient and detailed in explaining us everything in her wonderful flat! The flat is super nicely arranged with everything you need and we couldn't believe it was possible for that price! What I especially appreciated was her spontaneous quick help when renting a car and even took us to another flat to stay on our check-out day because it was more convenient for us. Thank you so much Ana!

Ana's place was exactly what we were looking for! Unfortunately, we could not stay more days in her place as the calendar was almost full. We definetely recommend the place. It is cosy, clean and has everything you may need in a house. Moreover, we would like to thank Ana for her precious advice about where to eat and where to go during our visit in the island. She was extremely to the point! Thank you Ana!

We were greeted by a friend of Ana. It went well, sites of suggestions were given to visit and restaurants. The house is cozy super very faithful to the photos! Its location is in a quiet area where you can wake up to the sound of nature. Besides getting a 5-minute drive from the waterfront of Ponta Delgada, and have access to the highway, it is close to the beach, which allows a refreshing swim in the late afternoon. Recommend!

Host Ana was so kind, we had pleasant stay in her flat. Ana's flat was clean, queit, very good arranged with everything you need. Ana was very detailed in explaining us everything in her flat. She give us a lot of advices and show us (on the map) all possible places to visit, to eat, to get attractions. It was very usefull information and we could explore the wonderfull island and take a rest. Ana was always open to answer our questions and solve small problems. Thank you for wonderfull stay, we definetly recommend this place for our friends.

The apartment is spacious and clean. Ana helped us rent the car. The apartment is just minutes from the airport coming from but we must be careful because there are two outputs with signaling Los Roques that we should not take, also coming from Lagoa there is a corresponding output. Ana has prepared a map, however, is not sufficient. The shower telephone tube is broken.

An impeccable apartment with plenty of natural light, with all the amenities needed for a short or long stay, great attention to detail, without thereby ceasing to be simple and practical decoration. Mr. Emanuel, the husband of Dona Ana, was relentless to give us good information for a stay on the Island and being Christmas, even researched restaurants that might be open so we ran not eat. An experience to repeat!

Space very nice with all the equipment necessary to spend a great holiday! Ideal for couples Close to downtown and shopping malls. A lot of friendliness and hospitality of the owners

House with all that is needed for an extended stay and a perfect base from which to explore São Miguel. The center of Ponta Delgada is less than a 5-minute drive. Offerings left by the hosts made the arrival much more welcoming. Thank you!

cozy and pleasant, had all the necessary perks and the beds are very comfortable. Everything was within expectations. The Doña Paula and Carlos Sr.º are some fantastic hosts ever-available to help and collaborate. We receive travel tips that have been very useful in the discovery of the island.

It was really wonderful stay :) The hosts were very nice and helpful. The apartment is fully equipped and has very good conditions. I definitely recomend this place !

Paula is an amazing host - very communicative and eager to help. She arranged for us to get picked up at the airport, then arranged a rental car and even allowed us to keep it for a few extra hours at no cost. She also made great recommendations for places to visit. The apartment itself is very clean and has all of the basics. The location is quite convenient - not in the center of the city but close enough to walk easily (maybe 20 minutes). The only thing to note is that there are some loud dogs in the neighborhood - if you are a light sleeper it may make sense to bring ear plugs!

Great place and host. Super helpful and very nice.

I stay two nights in this house and was a really good experience. The house is new, clean and with all we need to have a great stay. We loved the details of the fruit and local bread. Amazing!! Located near shooping center and the main road of the island. A great choise in Ponta Delgada.

.

I highly recommend to stay in this accommodation. The reality exceeds the description is made on the site. It is well laid out and very well located. Nearly 3 beautiful sandy beaches with a private garage for those who wish to rent a car in order to have more autonomy. The place is very quiet at the same time as moving to the services or to the tourist attractions are easily made. André is a very caring which ensures good 'stay in every detail the same time he knows to be discreet. The reception is extraordinary. Thank you very much to Andrew that honors Portugal.

This was our first trip to the Azores, and we decided to stay in a quiet location close to the ocean. Andre kindly helped us with the purchase of water and fruit, as we arrived late and probably would not be able to buy it all. Clean and neat apartment on the island for recreation and travel (preferably by car, since buses are very rare). Throughout the trip Andre interested in whether all suits us and provided all financial documents.

Apartment price / quality ratio unbeatable. 1st experience in airbnb and the bar was very high. We were greeted with a basket of fruit and warm bread! There were indications about schedules and bus stops if necessary. As we rented car, we use the available parking. very well equipped site has all the necessary amenities, it highlights the very complete kitchen, with many more items. There was even in the house, beach towels !? quiet but with good access, beach distance duns steps. It exceeded expectations. I recommend without reservation!

We've loved every minute of our stay in André's place. It was the best Airbnb we've ever been too. The apartment is beautiful, freshly renovated with style, has all you need for a comfortable stay and beyond. You are received as guests with the comfort level of 5 stars hotel. We've been travelling with 1 year baby and had all imaginable baby gear provided by André. Thank you so much for making our stay so special.

It was a great place.

Everything went perfect. Best flat and host I ever had on Airbnb. Daniel is an amazing host and person and really cares about his guests.

As we said, everything went perfectly well with the help of Daniel, he even waited for us at the airport and took us back. We spent a lovely time at Sao Miguel and the apartment is perfectly situated near the center of Ponta Delgada with the harbor, shops and restaurants nearby!

The place is incredible and its hosts are amazing. They were very helpful and treated us like family. The apartment itself had everything we needed: washing machines, fridge, microwave, tv and wifi. It’s also on a great location, close to a local supermarket and really close to “Portas do Mar” which is a place with a lot of nice bars and a great night life. I can’t recommend this place enough, it’s a well deserved 5 stars!

fantastic space, at a great price. We liked a lot! The apartment is fully equipped, very well located and with all amenities. The host was fantastic in terms of friendliness and professionalism. I strongly recommend.

Confortável e adequado para quem viaja com crianças. kitchenette super prática, modernizada e totalmente (URL HIDDEN) flexibilidade no horário de check-in e check-out. Foi óptimo.

O Sr Daniel é de uma hospitalidade imensa! Super educado, disponível e atencioso. Fomos muito bem recebidas! Depois de uma viagem encontramos na casa uma ótima recepção, com pão,leite, fruta, etc. A casa é ainda melhor que nas fotos, com uma higiena impecável. A minutos a pé do centro. Não podíamos ter ficado em local melhor. Aconselho a todos. Muito obrigada Sr Daniel. Ass. Maria Vaz

Who wants to have an unbeleaveble view in a relaxing beach house with a great host....? Then you are right at casa do mar! Its yust relaxing when you can have breakfast next to the sea and then yust go for a short swimming whenever you wants to. There is everything you need in the flat. Because its near to ponta delgada you have a great Spot to explore the island. And its really a beatiful island. Jose was a great and most welcoming host we ever met. He let us in the flat by nighttime and helped us whenever we needed any help. Thank you so mich for that! We really felt like home. We wish you all the best! OBRIGADA

Casa Do Mar is a very beautiful place. We felt very much "at home" there and wouldn't have wanted another place to stay on Sao Miguel. We found everything we needed. Since we preferred cooking every day, it was important to us to find a well equipped kitchen. It was also great to just go out the door and almost directly into the ocean for swimming! Unbeatable! José and his wife were very friendly and we felt like they really care for their guests :). A bigger supermarket can be found 10 minutes (by car) away in Lagoa. So it was easy to stop there every night on the way home. We would definitely recommend Casa Do Mar :).

We like it all! The attention of Joseph and the Vina, who agreed to get us to the airport and indicated the points of interest on the island, the clean and welcoming home, and the beautiful view of the sea with the waves in the background! The house has everything you need (kitchen, towels, hair dryer, etc.). Recommend! :)

The Vina and Jose were clean were very well received and gave us fantastic as visiting S.Miguel tips. The view of the Sea House is fantastic and the photos correspond exactly to the house. S.Roque is very close to Ponta Delgada and has supermarkets, restaurants and a pharmacy very close. We were very pleased with this choice. A repeat!

You will spend your money well staying at José & Vina Caso do Mar. The view is gorgeous every day, you are close to the beach, and it's about a 30 minute walk to the city. I suggest renting a car while you are here, and there is plenty of free parking around. They greeted us with a lovely gift basket of local cheese, jam, English muffins, tea, and coffee. No amenities were missing. Absolutely no regrets choosing this AirBnB!

We had such a great stay!! We felt so comfortable in the apartment and on the island.

This house and it's host were more than we could've asked for. Staying in this house made our trip so much better. Thank you!

Wow, Is the word that comes to mind when I think of our stay at Casa do Mar. The apartment that we originally booked was under construction so we were ungraded to the main floor condo which had even better views of the beach. Windows in all rooms (even the bathroom) and falling asleep to the sound of the crashing waves beneath us was an experience like none other. Big spacious 2 storey condo with fully equipped kitchen. Extra linen and towels, clean and very spacious. Sao Roque was the perfect location, awesome beaches, 30 minute walk to the big city Ponta Delgada. We recommend renting mopeds/scooter and touring the island that way! It was amazing. Our host was great throughout our stay, easy to communicate with and always available. Thank you for this wonderful experience, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone :)

Great thanks to Andre's mother who we hosted us so well. Thanks for her hospitality. The home is like you see on pictures. There is a washing-machine in the kitchen and a market very close. It take 5 minutes to go by car at Ponta Delgada and 20min by foot . We stay 8nights there like the island is quite little To go where you want by car. She offered us banana , passion fruits and delucious bread of the island . She helped us when we had a problème with out car and phoned to our compagny. I recommand this place

Andre and his mother are great hosts. They try to help in any way possible and are available to you at all times. It's great to be away from home and meet as hospitable people. The house is exactly as shown in the pictures and has the services described. Thanks for everything!

House very welcoming and well located. Owners always very helpful and concerned. We had a great stay!

The match its characteristics shown in photographs. It is central.

Excellent home recommend!

I had a great stay at Joao's place. It was not too far from the airport and in a very central location. Close to nice restaurants, near the port where the cruise ships dock, and close the the university. Wondering around I also found that there was a mall/cinema close by as well as market that about 5 mins away by driving. Joao was extremely helpful when it came to suggesting places to go and responsive to all of my inquires. The place was nice and clean and has everything that one would need for their home away from home. I highly recommend this apartment and would definitely stay here again.

Hosts super friendly, very helpful and attentive. The house has everything needed for a comfortable stay: clean, good beds, excellent WI-FI, TV box and full kitchen. Great location, very close to the center on foot and close to all the major shopping centers, restaurants, pastry shops and some points of interest of the capital of the island. Parking at the door and points of access to the roads of the island just off the house, yet is located in a calm and quiet place with panoramic front view and even some sea view. Perfect for a family vacation, romantic getaway and overall tourism. We loved the house and the constant availability of hosts for airport transfers and information.

João's place was the perfect choice for my first trip in the Azores. The apartment was really lovely, plus very functional. We were walking distance to the market, restaurants, and the beach area, and there was very accessible parking right outside the building. Staying in a Ponta Delgada was a great choice, as my husband and I could make day trips all over the island - it's really incredible how much we saw in 5 days without ever feeling rushed! João was a fantastic host - he arranged the apartment for us at the last second due to changes in our flight schedules, and was responsive to all our messages. It was a pleasure getting to know him a little bit! I'd absolutely stay at this apartment again.

we could not have had a better experience with our stay for the first time in the Azores. The apartment is super comfortable, well equipped and the area is great. In terms of cleanliness, the apartment is immaculate. I was super tidy and had everything we could need for our stay. Located near restaurants, supermarkets and marginal, greatly facilitated all our experience on the island.

We had a wonderful stay in Ponta Delgada. The apartment is well located and have evrything you need to spend a great time. Joao is a very good guest, full of good advices. I highly recommend this place.

Apartamento em excelentes condições, com o necessário, limpo e numa zona (URL HIDDEN) facilidade de estacionamento e rápido acesso ao centro da cidade. Recomendo a estadia.
