    There was really nothing not to like, we had a fantastic time and will be back

    Our fist visit to San Miguel in the Azores. The property was outstanding with lovely views from the balcony overlooking the sea and the cliffs. The Hostess met us to hand over the keys and walked us around the rooms. She had left so much food as a welcome pack and even went the extra mile to provide gluten free bread and home made jam for me. There is a dedicated parking space, the village was so safe and the people friendly which was the case for the whole island which is so easy to drive around, with excellent roads. Food was amazing in the local cafes and restaurants and the weather was lovely every day. We will be back next year.

    We enjoyed our stay very much, everything was perfect! The sea view from the balcony is beautiful, the village is very nice and quiet, it is great to have a private parking space and the kitchen was very well equipped. The place was clean and the location is good to explore everything on the island. Thank you very much for the generous food and drink supply on arrival day, we appreciated it very much! The host is great and gave as very good advice for places to go. We would love to come back!

    we loved everything. the warmth of welcoming even at 1:30 am, the location, the village, the enthousiasm of the owner for his hometown, the fridge with more than “something” for breakfast… the house is equipped with just EVERYTHING. For us was “10” after one hour from the arrival, it was even more after 3 days of stay.

    We didn't really dislike anything, but I would mention that there is only one restaurant within walking distance. Although there are grocery stores and snack shacks close by, you would have to drive to another town (not far by any means) to get a sit down restaurant. This did not affect us at all, but may be a consideration if you expect more.

    This property was perfect for us. The large balcony gave beautiful views of the sea and the trail along the coastline which was an amazing hike. The kitchen was well equipped and the host provided a nice welcome gift: wine, meats, cheese, breads, juice, milk, fruit, homemade jam, and coffee. The bathroom was a nice size and the bedroom too. The bed was very comfortable and the a/c worked well. The place was very clean and had a great location at the edge of Maia. It is a quiet town with very friendly people. It is a great location for hiking and travel to other parts of the island: Furnas and Ribeira Grande were only 20-25 minutes. Plan to visit the Gorrean tea plantation too. It is super close and free. We had our own parking space that was well situated off the road. The picture is from the balcony, and there are two pictures of the hike along the coast. The waterfall was a nice find on the trail.

    We had to go home :-(

    I don't know how to start as this stay was our absolute highlight. We were invited to this tiny house with absolute hospitality and when a landlady told us everything about the accommodation, what to expect etc. we were left in awe. She filled a house with a lot of local products and food at our disposal which we did not expect - fruits, cheese, ham, wine, local bread, cereals, milk, coffee, tea and many others :-D The kitchen was fully equipped. There are like 3 trails starting right next to the house which we did not have time to walk but we will definitely do next time (trail maps provided). Although tiny house, the space inside is so big that it was more than enough for 2 people. Comfortable beds (we slept like babies in the bedroom), big bathroom and kitchen with a sofa. And... the terrace. With a view of the cliff/mountains and the ocean. If we could we would be sitting there all day long. Next to the accommodation there's a beach with black sand and calm waters. Close to that there's also miradouro where we were watching sunsets every day. There's also a washing machine to your disposal if you want.

    Some subdued lighting in the kitchen would be an asset. A couple of hooks for hanging clothes in the bathroom would be useful.

    The hostesse's generosity. The apartment is new, fresh, compact and fully equipped. We particularly liked the kitchen with French windows onto the terrace with a view directly over the beach and distant headlands. Plenty of hot water. The bedroom is lovely with subdued lighting.

    Everything was great, no disadvantages

    The house appears small from the street but inside is very spacious and comfortable. The view from balcony is amazing. We were greeted by nice hostess who explained to us where we can find nearest restaurants, museums, shops and entries to hiking trails. The kitchen was well-equipped and our great hostess also provided us delicious food for the breakfast. Great advantage is that facility has its own parking space and there is no need to park on the street. Another one is the possibility to use washing machine located in the special utility room.
