Eirinhas Bela Vista RAAL 2909,
Sara’s house was a great place to stay while visiting Sao Miguel. The house was clean, well stocked, private, peaceful, and situated above the town of Maia with beautiful views down the coastline and great sunsets! Our kids loved the pool which was great to return to after doing day trips. The beds were comfy which was a plus after lots of adventuring. It was within easy driving distance of many of the key sights. Sara is a great communicator, provides lots of helpful info, and responsive to any questions. We would recommend this place to anyone while visiting the Azores!

Grandma's House
Dino’s home is one of the top three AirBnBs that we have stayed in, and we have stayed at over 30+ AirBnBs from Peru to Portugal, Europe and the US. Moreover, he is easily the best host we have ever stayed with. He was waiting for us when we arrived and spent 30 minutes showing us where everything was and how to use it. I would strongly recommend his home to anyone looking for a beautiful home in a beautiful location.

Horizon Village
Our stay at the property was amazing - the house is even more beautiful in person. It had all the necessary facilities and the host was extremely helpful, answered our questions very quickly and very flexible all throughout our stay. Would definitely recommend a stay here and look forward to coming back!

Carmo Country Villas_ Villa Mirante
Monica’s listing was everything we had hope for and more. She made us feel right at home in this beautiful part of the island. I highly recommend this listing to anyone looking for a place to stay in the island

Casa da Bela Vista (Pool & Seaview)
We had a wonderful stay at Jose's. We were two families, four young kids and it was the perfect setup for us. We liked the location, as it wasn't downtown so it was quiet and had a good backyard for the kids, a pool, and a beautiful view! It was also easy to get to other parts of the island from. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed to cook in. After being at the house for 5 days, a crew came and changed the linens and cleaned the house! We mostly communicated with Tomas, who checked us in and Joana. Both were lovely and very helpful! They were also extremely accommodating with check in/check-out! We were able to check in early which was critical for the kids after a redeye and they let us check out later than the normal check-out time. We highly recommend this house for future guest!

Furnished house with A/C + shared heated pool
What a perfect place to stay centrally located on the island. The hosts were great and quick to answer any questions we had. We highly recommend staying here! The bar down the street can get a little loud on the weekend, but not too much of an inconvenience.

Quinta das Flores
We had such a wonderful stay! The hosts were extremely proactive about helping us with any and all needs. We were traveling with a 1 year old baby and they had everything prepared for him including high chair and crib all set up. We are so glad we got to spend a wonderful week at this property. Thank you!

Casa do Lagar
The property is gorgeous and the natural ocean pool is incredible!! Perfect place to stay on the island for a relaxing vacation. We had a beautiful stay here.

L'Azor Terrace - Beach House
Clean space, very well located, exactly as described! David made very good recommendations and was always very helpful. I recommend it!

Casa Estrela do Mar - Unforgettable Ocean Views
This was probably our best Airbnb experience ever! A stunning, stylish oceanfront cottage — a true dream. We traveled with our 7-month-old baby and were amazed to find not only a crib, but also a baby bathtub and even a feeding bottle. Such a thoughtful touch! The house is beautifully decorated, cozy, and fully equipped. It felt like a peaceful retreat — we loved relaxing, watching the waves, and enjoying the privacy. The beds were super comfortable, with quality linens and towels. The home was warm and welcoming, with a lovely patio and even a telescope and binoculars to admire the ocean. There were also delicious local treats waiting for us, which made us feel even more at home. Special thanks for the late check-out — it allowed us to enjoy our final morning stress-free. We absolutely loved our stay and would return in a heartbeat!

Casa na Ribeira / House at the River (beach 3min)
Carlos is a wonderful host! His place is very clean and is located in a great spot for walking around town. The space was very clean and comfortable. Thank you Carlos!

Quinta dos Chorões
Loved our 4 nights staying here. This was a good location to visit many spots on the island and enjoyed some good restaurants nearby. Cristana was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

The getaway
Beautiful base for Sao Miguel We loved Erico‘s place which was comfortable, beautifully decorated and charming. It also was very well equipped with dishes, spices, generous towels und great beds. Parking on the steep street is a bit daunting to start with and there are barking dogs just like everywhere else on the island that break up the serenity but the place is a real haven and between walking to the beach and driving to the different corners of the island it’s in a great place too. Érico was a responsive generous host, from the welcome bread and milk to restaurant recommendations , thank you Erico, we would definitely come again

Casa dos Pedros (Beach House)
We cannot say enough about how much we loved this place! The host was amazing and extremely accommodating. The house is beautiful with SPECTACULAR views. Everything was close either walkable or a short drive. Did I say that the host was amazing yet!???!!!! Bruno made our stay comfortable and relaxing. He is one of the best hosts we have ever stayed with.

sea and mountain view
We loved this place! Amazing view from the backyard. Highly recommend staying here if you are traveling to São Miguel.

Casa O Refúgio
This is an old, converted fisherman’s cottage (we think). It’s a beautiful place with access to sea swimming pools right out the back garden gate. Easy walking distance to Lagoa along a coastal path leading right to the most amazing set of sea swimming pools (plus proper pools). Local cafe/bar/restaurant right on the doorstep. Kitchen was great, bathrooms clean and showers lovely and warm and powerful. Living space upstairs was fab - cosy in the rain but also perfect with the terrace door open in the evening. We have two young adult girls and one of them wasn’t comfortable sleeping in the communal space next to the kitchen but we easily moved her bed into the small room so she could sleep next to her sister. The only downside was that it was difficult to get things dry when it rained. Everything stayed damp and ended up smelling musty. In the wet, humid conditions the cottage feels a little damp. Generally speaking though, this is a great place. Highly recommend.

Home Azores - Casa da Ladeira 4 (House on the Hillside)
The flat was very clean and had all the facilities we needed. Nice balcony with view and not far to the city center. We always found parkingspace around the church. We would like to come back another time!

Condessa Home
Vera’s place was incredible! They were super responsive, gave great reviews and even left us a bottle of wine, chocolates and a guidebook for our stay! The home is beautiful and being able to relax by the pool or lounge space outside before heading for dinner was the cherry on top! Would 100% recommend staying here

Cozy Beach House
We enjoyed our stay in Kevin’s place and in beautiful Sao Miguel! Kevin was very helpful before our stay with recommendations, and his home is very clean and comfortable, we loved the back patio in the evening sunshine too! Others have noted the noise from the road outside, it is there but you get used to it after the first night and the house is very well located to walk easily to the sea front and to drive around the rest of the island too. Parking was really handy too. Thank you for a good stay!

Village House
Very nice and spatious house. Well kept. There is even a wash dryer and a microwave!! Jose and his wife are very friendly hosts always happy to help. Large living room so staying there with 4 or even 6 persons is not a problem. The potato is great if it is a bit cooler, but you can also go to the big roof terrace. The Trilho Moinho do Felix is right in front of the house and highly recommended. There are more Trilho 's close by, all worthwhile...

WelcomeBuddy - Azorinas House - Ocean View
This place was in a perfect location for local exploring and for driving all around the island. It was comfortable and clean. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it!

Roque Ocean House - Vista Mar
We had a great stay at Nuno’s place! The apartment was extremely clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed. Nuno was an amazing host—very kind and super quick to respond to any questions. The only downside was the noise from the street; there were parties with loud music almost every evening until 1 or 2 a.m., which made it hard to sleep at times. Still, if you’re okay with a lively atmosphere, this is a fantastic spot!

Hydrangea House
The stay at the Hydrangea House was amazing. Not just the position of the house with view on the ocean was amazing but also the location on the island. The whole island was quickly reachable by car from here. Definitly would recommend.

View from the North
Fantastic views, updated interior and much more spacious than the photos make it seem. Kitchen is well stocked if you plan to shop and cook for yourself. Private parking with plenty of space for 2 cars. You are a bit out of the way when it comes to restaurants and groceries but we think it’s a great idea to have a rental car on the island anyway. Short drive to Sete Cidades.
