Graviana - Pedra Negra Charming House
The condo is beautiful and we enjoyed the deck and garden areas with the ocean view. The kitchen was well appointed and had what we needed for cooking and coffee. The beds were comfortable and I really liked the automatic shutters that blocked out light well for sleeping. The host was very easy to communicate with. Unfortunately the house next door is under construction and the noise was pretty loud starting at 8:30 am every day except Sunday. We spent most of the day time out of the house exploring but if there had been bad weather, the noise would have prevented us from relaxing/reading.

Spacious Seaside apartment A - Faraway
Great place to stay as a base for exploring São Miguel. Right by the ocean, with plenty of parking nearby and within walking distance to restaurants and snack bars. The apartment was very spacious, clean, and well-equipped. Lev is a fantastic host, responded quickly, and ensured we had everything we needed. Highly recommended!!!

Quinta dos Sabores Farm SKY HOUSE
Really beautiful place to stay. The garden feels like a fairy tale! Would definitely recommend.

The View
We enjoyed our stay and felt right at home. We were welcomed in person, and there were some treats to enjoy, which was very thoughtful. The apartment is very spacious and clean. The location was great, and we were easily able to walk around town. We also had an easy time finding parking on the street behind the apartment. Miguel and Pedro were lovely hosts. They were communicative and always quick to respond. We would recommend this apartment and will stay here again if we visit again.

Margarida House - Stone Apartment
Álvaro was an amazing host, the area was beautiful and he was able to provide many recommendations on stuff to do in the area. For others like us who wanted to explore the whole island it is a great central location that can get you to all sides in under an hour. Definitely will be recommending to our friends and family who will be visiting the island, thanks Álvaro!

Ocean Vista (Premium CityCenter)
One of my favorite places I've ever stayed. Spotless, spectacular views, central on harbor, small grocery shop two doors down. This high rise property is a rarity in Ponta Delgada The apartment is lovely, with every convenience considered, from sewing kits to notepads tucked into bedside drawers, chargers, umbrellas, games, music, the list goes on. Kitchen is well equipped, with lots of high quality cookware, plus cooking oil + basics like sugar + rice. Laundry works well. Parking included. Bruno is responsive and knowledgeable. He had great tips for the Azores. We did a family vacation with lots of hikes, surfing, hot springs etc. Would absolutely return.

Azores 19th Floor (180º ocean & city view)
I chose this apartment because of its proximity to grocery, cafes, and indoor parking included which allowed us to easily drive to outer areas of Sao Miguel. The apartment exceeded our expectations in terms of the sheer beauty. Had dinner on balcony several nights and explored local neighborhoods around the square. Highly recommend! Thanks to Bruno for the clear direction and responsiveness.

Mar Grande Apartment - Vista Mar e Sunset
I had a wonderful stay. The home was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated, with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable visit. The location was great with an amazing view the host was incredibly responsive and welcoming. I truly felt at home and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and hassle-free Airbnb experience!

Abarrota - Ocean View
The location is good in a quiet village with a nice view. Pedro is very kind and actively helps with everything. I recommend it to everyone wholeheartedly.

Lucky Life- Sea front house in the city limit
Manuela was there to greet us and show us around. She answered our questions and had local restaurant recommendations. ( Cais 20 was my favorites and within walking distance ) There also is another restaurant nearby Jardim do Mar, with a small play area for kids. The house was exactly as depicted and clean. The view of the water is amazing. This location is close to downtown and night life. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

Capelas Mansion - The Loft
Very nice stay, in a green setting. Beautiful garden, option to relax outside or have lunch. Thank you for the beautiful attentions, the discovery of local products. Close to all amenities, supermarket... Ideal for discovering the island of the Azores

Casas do Pescador | 14
Awesome place for our short stay. It was spacious yet felt cozy still. Would definitely recommend!

Casa Nova, breakfast included
A Truly Perfect Stay – More Than Just an Airbnb! Our stay was absolutely perfect. It felt more like a hotel, but with all the warmth of a family home. The property is stunning, with a beautiful pool and breathtaking views the ideal spot to unwind. The hosts and staff were incredible. Marillia, one of the owners, took our children to milk cows and even baked cookies with them – such thoughtful, memorable experiences. Breakfast, prepared by Nelia and Martha, was fresh, delicious, and full of variety a highlight each morning. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and we felt at home from day one. We’re already planning our return to the Azores, and we wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Thank you for your kindness and for making our stay so special!

Bela Vista Vacation Home (Al 1635)
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Rui was responsive and helpful whenever needed. The private terrace overlooking the ocean was the true standout. Some thoughtful touches like coffee, milk, juice, and jam were also provided for our arrival. The location in São Roque is quiet but conveniently walkable to Ponta Delgada (~30 min along a beautiful coastal path). We usually found parking in the small lot at Ilhéu de S. Roque at the end of the road, though be aware it's a narrow drive where you need to drive half on the sidewalk. If that's a concern, there’s ample parking just a short walk away on Av. do Mar. We didn’t notice much noise from the nearby Cais 20 restaurant. That said, the larger bedroom faces the street and can pick up foot traffic if windows are open. The smaller room was quieter and had better ocean sounds — we actually preferred sleeping there. Beds and pillows are basic but we slept just fine. All in all, a wonderful stay with a spectacular view.

Beach house, Mosteiros
This location is INCREDIBLE. We enjoyed sitting outside on the patio, watching the huge aqua waves roll past the Mosteiros rocks and appreciated the easy access to the beautiful black beach. Parking is just up the street. Beds were comfortable and kitchen and bathroom worked well. Ricardo was very helpful with a reservation for dinner. We highly recommend the restaurant MoMo in nearby Ginetes. Mosteiros is well located if you plan to visit Sete Cidades and the thermal pools in Ferraria. This is a great spot!

The blue cottage
beautiful views and great home base to go and adventure the rest of the island from.

Ilhéu at sight
mariana’s apartment is super comfortable and clean, great view and just some minutes away from a great beach, we had an amazing time there.

Vila Franca do Campo Marina
We loved our stay! You can see the ocean off one side of the patio. Walkable to marina and restaurants. Great space.

Rural Apartment in the Countryside of São Miguel
Very nice stay. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and beautiful view :)

Sun and Beaches Apartment
Great apartment in an excellent location. Close to beach, supermarket, bar, cafe and on the bus line. Very quiet area. Our hosts were very gracious and friendly. Their hospitality and generosity exceeded our expectations to ensure that we were comfortable and that our stay on the island was enjoyable. Would most definitely recommend this apartment

Vizinha’s Hubby’s Apartment
A huge thank you to Graça and Francisco for their warm and thoughtful hosting. The apartment was spotless, comfortable and perfectly located for discovering Ponta Delgada and the surrounding area. Their availability and recommendations, especially for excursions, greatly enriched our stay. It was an ideal anchor point to explore the island, relax and fully enjoy the Azores. A 5-star experience from start to finish!

At El Rei's House
We loved our stay at Casas D'El Rei. The location is really good, near Santa Bárbara beach (about 15 mins walking distance), the apartments are well equipped, very comfortable, and you also have parking. The whole island is wonderful but we liked staying in this central location with easy access to explore the rest of the island. We were welcomed by Ana and also met other members of the team who made us feel welcome straight away! We highly recommend Casa D'El Rei! Thanks for having us!

epicenter SKYBAR
Place feels safe. It's located in a private neighborhood with automatic fence. Dedicated private parking spot is under a roof so the car is extra secure. Few minutes by car from the city center. Apartment was really large, and comfortable. We had a lovely stay.

Consul's Ocean View II
My wife and I had a most wonderful stay for 6 nights at the Ocean View 11. Before we committed to the reservation I could tell we had a lot in common with our hosts. We are an active, healthy athletic couple in our 70’s that love exploring, hiking, eating, conversing with locals and learning history. The unit is perfect and well described the way it is. I could always find parking within two blocks. The best rooms in the house are the awesome patio with oven view. We had all our breakfasts there. It’s quiet, spacious and modern. The malecón along the beach is awesome and great for a walk or run. I swam at the protected beach near it. The owners gave us an amazing list of recommended sites to visit and restaurants. Some of the best seafood I’ve ever had. We went to almost all of the sites and then some. I highly recommend this stay and we personally intend to return more to explore the extreme eastern part os Sao Miguel as well and to visit the other islands Enjoy it
