Cottage holiday rentals in São Miguel Island

The accommodation was very good despite the ants that were very present. Despite this, we really liked the backyard and the jacuzzi. There is not really a large grocery store nearby so we had to plan more. But in general we liked it a lot and we enjoyed the magnificent view of the sunset every evening.

Ruben is an amazing host, with top recommendations and makes you feel welcome. He went above and beyond to welcome us with a gift basket (and took into account our dietary restrictions). Cottage is nice, with the hot tub and sauna in great working condition. Great way to unwind after a day of exploring / hiking

A Truly Charming Stay with Thoughtful Touches! Our group of four recently enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Green Sunrise House. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the prompt response and genuine care of the host, who even provided some lovely welcome gifts. The clear instructions for everything made settling in a breeze. The property itself is incredibly inviting. The decor, location are fantastic, making it feel like a cozy home. We particularly loved the well-stocked kitchen, which had everything we needed, and the ample supply of linen and towels was greatly appreciated. The music collection were a delightful bonus, providing entertainment and a relaxing atmosphere. We also thoroughly enjoyed spending evenings by both the indoor and outdoor fireplaces, which added so much to the experience. Only con was the one bathroom for four people did not have a lock inside and the hot tub (primary reason for booking thi place) took hours to prepare and couldnt use it properly!

I had an incredible 3 night stay at this property, the pictures do not show it off enough. The views are impecable, with a lot of nature around and the most comfortable grass..! I hope you visit again, thank you

The stay with José was magical and cozy. The Cottage by the lake has a fantastic view of Lake Furnas. In short (car) distance to the village of Furnas, there are plenty of shopping opportunities for the necessities and everywhere insanely beautiful nature and a lot of relaxing things to discover. The accommodation has everything it needs - including good heating in cold weather. Only the cars are slightly audible in the bedroom when they sometimes drive through at night. However, we did not find it disturbing. Otherwise, rest and relaxation are the order of the day. Everything is well described, the instructions for check-in and check-out are simple and clear. Communication with José was very friendly, reliable and fast. We highly recommend this gem in the middle of this dream island. Happy to come back :) merci for everything, José!

Beautiful surroundings. Family welcomed us when we reached and explained everything. Joao had bread, eggs, cheese, jam plus more for brunch to welcome us - more than enough for family of 4. The highlight is the location of the home. It is on a farm. Beautiful view of ocean from the house, the garden and surroundings are peaceful and relaxing. Close to highway so we could get to places easily (we rented a car). I couldn’t figure out best way to communicate during our stay. So recommend getting contact information (the number I got didn’t work). As everything was explained upfront and nothing urgent came up during the stay, we were ok without communication. Highly recommend this home.

Casa do Rei was easy to find, had easy check in, and well located in walking distance to city center and fumaroles. The home is loved and taken care of. There is unique and detailed decor in every corner. The porch views are amazing as shown in pictures and we enjoyed the stay greatly.

we enjoyed it very much! the cottage had everything we needed, would come back anytime again

Exactly as pictured, about 15 Minutes’ drive from Ponta Delgada airport. Although we were traveling with an 8 month old, we did not request any special accommodation. However, they set up a travel crib, had a high chair and baby bathtub when we arrived which was so thoughtful! Location is perfect in the middle of the island so you can easily get to all main attractions. Highly recommend for traveling families - plenty of indoor/outdoor space.

This was truly a unique stay! It was such a peaceful experience being alone in the park in the morning/night. The place looked exactly as the photos and the local snacks were a lovely welcome at check in. Highly recommend staying here!

Our stay was so relaxing with the beautiful grounds and views of the city and the sea. As you drive through the gate and down the long driveway and see the property for the first time, you are sent back in time by its old world charm. The pink stucco house sits on a hill with stunning views. The house was a little tricky for us to find, as the address on airbnb did not take us to the house, but we figured it out and it was smooth sailing from there. The location was very convenient to Ponta Delgada, tourist attractions, and other smaller towns. The house felt like living in a castle with modern conveniences and 5 full bathrooms, which was very nice for 8 guests. Our hosts were there to greet my friends, who arrived first, and gave them all the instructions for the house. There is a working farm on the property, as described. If you do not like the sound of donkeys braying, frogs croaking, or the faint odor of a farm, then this house is not for you. We loved it all!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Francisco’s place. It was very easy to check in and quite easy to feel at home. The location is perfectly private, just on the side of town. We watched hikers come down from the trail to the miradouro and the farmer with cows in the pasture next to the house waved as he went about his business. The house was clean, and we enjoyed having a washing machine. One tip - it’s humid in Sete Cidades, wash your clothes on the first day, so they’re dry by the time you leave! There’s a fire place which is an extra cozy as well. We cooked in the kitchen and on the churrasco out back. Thank you!!

We had a fantastic time at Casa Mediana. It is so quiet and peaceful, though located centrally so gives good access to the rest of São Miguel. Though rural and a long way from any neighbours, it is only a 10 minute drive into the town of Ribeira Grande, which has beaches, supermercado, restaurants etc. The house is spacious, comfortable, well equipped and has a nice terrace for relaxing and watching the view. Also, we have to mention the animals! Dogs, cats, donkeys, chickens and more! All very friendly and welcoming and really enhancing the experience. Luis is a great host, friendly and helpful. Recommended for anyone looking for a quiet, off-the-beaten-track experience.

Incredible stay! Joana’s place is just as pictured, but the pictures don’t capture the beauty and tranquility of her home. The house is tucked back in a hill with an ocean view. Easy to find with the GPS. Parking across the street with 4 children in tow, we were mindful of the road, but there was never an issue. We found it to be a convenient home base for our trip. Joana was very easy to communicate with. Check in and check out instructions were clear and easy to follow. Our kids loved exploring the grounds and being surrounded by nature. Home is well equipped to cook and relax. Bonus has a washer and dryer which was needed after adventuring through the island. If we are ever lucky enough to come back to the green island we would stay here again.

Very good home, not a prepared air b&b like the new ones. The area is excellent, with the advantage of access to the lagoa do fogo which is normally inaccessible by car… great views of the sunset… hot water could be improved, as it tends to vary in temperature…

Good accomodation in a calm area in Nordeste, away from the busy tourist attractions on the island. Small town with some restaurants and a small supermarket. The pool was refreshing during the hot days and we did not notice a lot from the neighbouring houses in the building. It is very nice that you get a basket with some local fruit and cookies!

Our stay was largely very positive. The house was comfortable and offered a great base for exploring the island. We especially appreciated Michaela‘s & Nuno‘s hospitality and the delicious gift basket with local specialties. The location was excellent for daily activities as well as enjoying golden hour in the big garden. Communication was easy and they were very accommodating. I would highly recommend this lovely place to others visiting the Azores.

The villa is absolutely perfect! A traditional home with a full and well stocked kitchen and amazing backyard. Plenty of restaurants/cafes in walking distance. We personally loved Queijadas do Morgado the most! There is also easy access to the highway to get around the island quickly. Duarte was very friendly and quick to respond and an excellent host. Highly recommend spending your time in the Azores here!

Such an amazing place to stay. "In town" but felt like your own piece of paradise. Alexandra was amazing, sharing her love of the Azores with us. A few notes: - you'll definitely need a car in the Azores. Get the little one (we got a Fiat Panda). Much more comfortable on the small roads and parking at the cottage - if you don't like the sounds of nature and birds then this isn't the place for you (we loved it though!) - if you or someone in your party is allergic to or afraid of dogs then, as the listing points out, there are three dogs here so be aware - We didn't swim in the pool but the water was warm and refreshing as we dangled our toes in the water - the bed is firm; if you don't like firm mattresses, be aware - the AC is in the main bedroom (and is great). Upstairs could be warm. - the wifi in the bedroom is spotty. Alexandra is aware and gave us a heads up that they're working on it. Maybe stay off your devices for a while and go for a walk? :D

I loved this cottage so much! I wanted a quiet place where I could rest or head out for exploration. I almost didn’t want to leave because it was so cozy. The sounds of cows and birdsong was a lovely soundtrack to the days. I loved how well equipped the cottage was, from local info and recommendations to already having it stocked with basic groceries. I would stay here again without any hesitation. Thank you, Rui!
