"Everything about this place was great… It was super clean. The staff was friendly. The breakfast was amazing!! Would definitely stay here again and again!"

"We very much enjoyed our stay at Casa das Hortencias! Although our time there was wet and windy, we found lots to do. From hiking to shopping, to exploring or spending quiet time indoors, we all found entertainment. The house was well supplied with kitchen equipment and we made good use of it all. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms worked as they should. In total, a very good experience. "

"Wonderful stay. Perfect location with excellent view. Great service from Luis ensuring we had everything needed and easily contacted with any questions."

"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! "

"Nino was a fabulous host and accommodation is first class ... located in centre of town with good parking. Would highly recommend 😊"

"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 apartment was perfect for us. So much was provided; the welcome pack was out of this world. From fig jam to wine to eggs to cheese to chorizo spread and much more. All local produce which was delicious. The apartment itself felt roomy as did the balcony. There were games, body boards, information, fab fridge freezer and a lovely stocked bathroom and equipped kitchen. Miguel was on hand for advice and tips for discovering the island. I wouldn’t hesitate to re- book. The best part was the view and hearing the sea crashing from inside. Just perfect! "

"The apartment is absolutely stunning with views over the beach. There is lots of space to store everything and everything you could possibly need! We did use some of the beach equipment. The property agent was the best we have ever come across, really helpful and so easy to contact. The central location meant the mist we ever travelled was 50 minutes to Cete Cidades. Ribeira Grande does lack places to eat, which was the only disappointment, but the apartment was so relaxing we were happy to eat in. I would recommend a stay here to anyone!"

"The apartment is large with 2 private balconies with wonderful views of the town and ocean. Marion did everything to make us feel at home. They have lots of (quiet and friendly) animals, which was a great bonus because we really enjoyed them. There are spectacular views from every direction. It's located close to the town and highway, so it's easy to get anywhere on the island. Also, there's a beautiful beach 5 minutes away. The house is situated on park-like grounds and they've provided a safe and fun setting for small children. I can't think of anything else that we could want!"
