Excellent family trip to Ponta Delgada

Our stay at the villa was excellent. The house was just as described, very comfortable and spacious for our entire group. We enjoyed the large kitchen and living room area and Joao was very responsive with any questions we had while staying there for the week.

Great location

This house is exactly as it shows in the pictures. It was in a quiet area and within minutes of driving, you are in Ponta Delgada. The host Joao was quick to answer any questions that we had. The house was more than spacious for the 11 of us. I would definitely recommend this house for any large group.

A very memorable family Christmas 2024!

From the moment we were welcomed with a personalized greeting and bottle of wine, a decorated Christmas tree and holiday decor, our family of 10 felt immediately at home! The house is a beautiful in the listing as it is in person. Well appointed kitchen, modern bathrooms with an abundance of hot water and great pressure! Enough room for togetherness and also privacy. We really enjoyed the hot tub and used the swimming pool as a cold plunge as it isn’t heated. The island has so much to offer and we took full advantage of it all! Thanks a million Joao for your generous hospitality! Happy New Year from the Rooney family!

Great family stay for 12 ppl

We enjoyed our stay with the fantastic amenities here. João provided all the answers to our many questions and helped with extra towels etc. when we asked and needed anything. We found it a bit tricky to find the long driveway as did Uber eats and a few taxi drivers. Thanks for everything and we will see you when we come back!

Great for big family

This stay was perfect! We had a big group of 9 people ranging from 72yrs to infant and there was plenty of space for us all. Baby gates at the top and bottom of the stairs made sure the babies were safe. Location was perfect. Quick drive into Ponta Delgada or the highway if you want to go farther. João was very helpful and quick to respond. Even offered to buy extra life jackets and toys for the little kids! It was a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend!

Our favorite rental we’ve ever stayed at

There is nothing that could have been done to improve our two week stay here. We comfortably slept twin three year olds, us, grandparents and my brother in law. The location is perfect, it’s quiet but close to the city and easy to get anywhere on the beautiful island. My kids thought the window seeing into the pool was the coolest thing ever, and the layout of the pool itself was perfect for kids and adults. Joâo responded quickly leading up to the trip and while we were there. I can’t recommend this rental more!

Beautiful House in a convenient location!

My family and I brought my mother, who’s family originated in the azores here for a family vacation and it was an absolute blast. The place was incredible, the house was clean and well maintained. The pool was a huge hit with the kids and very refreshing after a long day of hiking and exploring the island. The outdoor shower was nice to clean beach sand off and rinse off before going into the house. The wood fired grill was great for a few nights we stayed in for dinner. We had more than enough room, good closet space for our items and enough beds to comfortably sleep us all.Joao was very accommodating and kept in touch with questions we had and was kind enough to give us some tips and local knowledge about places and restaurants to check out during our stay. I can’t really find a negative to speak of. It really was great and we would definitely book again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication
What a terrible mistake booking this house. We booked this accommodation for 3 nights, and every single communication with Joao was a nightmare. Lots of “existing” utilities did not exist or were not functioning - stove was not working, poor quality of cooking pans, limited toilet paper, no spare towels, cheap multipurpose shampoo and shower gel (1-2 bottles for 5 bedrooms), mosquito nets are totally broken, jacuzzi was super dirty, we didn’t even dare to try. Cherry on top - we discovered multiple ants and cockroaches during the stay, which was extremely unpleasant and made us question overall house maintainance. These issues were clearly ignored by Joao, as we tried to communicate with the host multiple times via WhatsApp and the host ignored the messages in a very rude ‘ghosting’ manner instead of peacefully resolving addressed above issues.

Amazing home and stay.

When we found this home, we thought "this might be to go to be true." After speaking with Joao and asking some questions we booked his home for 5 days. Everything was wonderful. The upstairs is open concept which made 7 adults and 6 children (ranging from 16 to 1 years old not feel cramped. The pool is on the same level, so it made for watching the children fantastic! The kitchen is stocked with pots/pans for cooking, coffee maker, toaster, and utensils. There were board games for the kids, but they mostly enjoyed the pool. There is 1 bedroom upstairs and the remaining bedrooms were downstairs. Again, lots of space! There is a washer but no dryer. We didn't mind, we enjoyed hanging our clothes outside to dry. The baby gate at the top of the stairs as well as the bottom of the stairs is extremely helpful and put my mind at ease with a running 1 year old. The few times we reached out to Joao, he was quick to reply. He provided us some great recommendations on places to visit during our stay as well. We would love to stay here again next time were in Sao Miguel! :)

Perfect!

We had a fantastic time in São Miguel! The property was beautiful, very private yet a great location close to markets and restaurants, also central to all locations on the island. The home is very clean and was well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. We didn’t use the pool as the weather was chilly and windy, but we took advantage of the hot tub, very welcoming after long days of sightseeing! Although we had a smaller group (4 adults), there is plenty space for a large family. João is a fantastic host, very responsive to questions and always right there to offer tips and suggestions for things to do and places to see. We hope to be back someday soon, when we do this will be where we stay! Thank you, João, for a fantastic week!!
