"Our stay at the hotel was fantastic. The staff was amazing, and the food, more so. During our six night stay, we had diner at the hotel four times, and they were our best meals by far. There is ocean views from almost every room and the hotel is very quiet. Parking is easy and the location is close to many restaurants, museums and a grocery store if you need anything. The pools and the spa are well designed and they are the perfect place to relax after a day exploring the island. The ocean is a two minute walk from the hotel and there is a nice beach with great waves for surfing. The only things negative worth nothing are the design of the washrooms in the rooms where the walls are made of glass panels - some translucid and others tainted. This is not great for intimacy in the shower or on the toilet! Only a mechanized curtain outside the washroom prevents you from looking in. The second thing is the air gaps on the door that leads to the terrace. It was super windy while we were there so there was often a whistling sound of air passing through the door. Appart from these minor details, this place is well worth staying at."

"The house was clean, had all the necessary amenities, José was always quick in his communication, and the location is fairly central on the island (but tucked away in cute Porto Formoso, so it was more low-key and quiet… minus all our rooster neighbors). We loved our stay!"

"Property was better than pics, very spacious with a great location in a quite area,easy to get anywhere "

"The two bedroom unit where we stayed was lovely with vaulted ceilings in the living areas, a wood stove, comfortable furnishings and a well-equipped kitchen. The views from the windows front and back were gorgeous - ocean on one side and mountains at the back. Marion, the owner, was an absolutely great host - kind, sensitive, super friendly and helpful! She gave us lots of good suggestions for things to do and see. Despite not having the best week of weather, we totally enjoyed our stay! Many thanks to Marion "

"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!"

"Grateful to stay in the perfect location with wonderful view! The Main Street is a perfect place to enjoy the local community & culture! Thank you hosts! "

"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!"
