"We spent 6 nights in this lovely house. First the balcony has an amazing view of the water fall and ocean and cliffs. Look to the right and you see a hill side of pastures and cows. "

"Great layout with incredible views."

"Helpful "

"Very clean and easy access to local towns"

"My husband and I love how quiet the hotel was You will think that being so close to the street it would be noisy. The breakfast was delicious every day. The staff was very friendly "

"Loved our stay in Moinhos. Great little beach town. Very laid back. Beautiful scenery and great hiking steps from our door. Best restaurant right across the street. Restaurante Mare Cheia! "

"This apartment was exactly as pictured and represented. It's located in a quiet area - Ponto Formoso - a short 20-25 minute drive from the airport and 5-10 minutes from the bigger town of Ribiera Grande. The view from the apartment is the best. We loved eating every meal on the balcony and ending our days laying out on the beach and going for a swim. There are two life guard towers and snack bar style restaurant on the beach. If you want to surf, head up to the bigger Santa Barbara beach where the waves are perfect for surfing. The furnishings in the apartment are simple, but what more do you need in a beach rental? The parking lot up the hill from the apartment has plenty of spots. Both the owner and property manager are responsive to questions. Two pieces of advice for those staying here: (1) Stop at Pingo-Doce grocery store on your way from the airport to the apartment. It's located on the way, in Ribiera Grande. We didn't know about it until later in the trip and the store closer to Porto Formoso (Spar) is very small/not well-stocked. Pingo-Doce is excellent. (2) You must eat at the restaurant up the street from the apartment - Mare Cheia. Best food and preparation we ate on the island. We went twice. I wish I could replicate how they perfectly grill the fresh fish catches of the day. If we get the chance to go back to Sao Miguel, we would stay here again and for longer!"

"The property is large and spacious and we were comfortable there. It is a great location for all Sao Miguel has to offer. Nothing was further than an hour away. It was very clean. The washing machine and courtyard to dry clothes was brilliant, especially with a two year old. Unfortunately, there were a couple of things that let the property down. The kitchen was poorly equipped for example there were no cooking knives and we had to go out and buy our own cleaning spray to wipe down the kitchen and dining table after cooking. The hosts were quick to respond but not always very helpful, for example we asked about the knives saying we could only find steak knives and they just said that is all they had. There was no cot on arrival despite asking for it twice before arrival - this was very quickly solved though. Most annoyingly was about how much I was hassled about when we would arrive for check in as someone was to meet us in person. I gave a rough idea and explained that we would be picking up a rental car and stopping at the super market on the way, but I felt like I was told off when I was quite inaccurate. We’re somewhere new, with a 2 year old and I’m pregnant, so we don’t really know how long it’s going to take! If it’s a problem doing check ins, why not have a key box at the property? All the host did when we arrived was say this is the kitchen, this is the bedroom etc. The only benefit of seeing a person is that we could ask for the missing cot straight away"
