A welcome getaway in an inspiring setting
Paolo could not have been a better host. He was helpful and present, without being overbearing. The love he has for his place and his genuine kind demeanor and interest in people makes for a great stay. He went above and beyond, securing reservations, suggesting hikes, and welcoming us to his property. The grounds are incredible and the cabins are exactly as depicted in the materials provided online. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the Azores. Location was perfect for exploring the island. Always felt like coming home when the day ended.

Lovely hosts who greeted us at the property and explained all about the island. The location is perfect for getting around the island and only 15-20 minutes to good restaurants. The place itself was all we needed for a great stay, clean and a great location.

The property is beautiful and the view amazing. Our little house was filled with all the amenities and we used the BBQ several evenings to enjoy our deck. After a day exploring the island it was nice to unwind with a glass of wine and enjoy the ocean view. Paulo is a gracious host that provided valuable advice for our stay on the island. Paulo also convinced this Canadian to get on WhatsApp. Thanks Paulo.

A tranquil, beautiful stay at Azores Oasis!
Our stay at Azores Oasis exceeded our expectations. First of all, Paulo is an excellent host! The property is quiet, peaceful and just a minute walk to beautiful ocean views. Our accommodations were clean offered with every amenity: a small kitchen with coffee maker, dining table, sitting area and a lovely deck with table and chairs, and a bbq overlooking the beautiful gardens and well kept outdoor spaces. If we had a question, Paulo was quick to answer via Whatsapp. He also set us up with a rental car for the week. Overall, Azores Oasis is located very close to Riberia Grande and was a great location for seeing all parts of the island. We were sad to leave, but look forward to returning again. 10/10 for Paulo and his family for making our stay so memorable and amazing. Obrigada!

Beautiful property in Private Setting by the Sea
The pictures and descriptions do not do this place justice. It's the perfect basecamp for exploring the island. The accommodations are four stand-alone studios, each with a small porch with table and chairs. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you need, and everything was clean, comfortable and wonderful. The area is stunning. Watching and listening to the waves crash against the shoreline provides a marvelous escape. I just can’t say enough!

Excellent Stay
I had a great time at Paulo’s property. The bungalow was charming, clean, with an excellent view of the beach at the end of the property. Central to lots of the attractions on the island, but away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Paulo helped me with my car rental and answered all my questions during my stay. I absolutely recommend this place

Oasis in Sao Miguel
We really enjoyed our stay. Paulo was so helpful with recommendations for activities and restaurants. He picked us up from the airport and also arranged a car for us for the week. When we were leaving, we just dropped our car off and were shuttled to the airport free of charge. Paulo’s property is quiet and absolutely beautiful. You can walk down to chairs that are by a hot tub and look over the Atlantic Ocean. There is even a path to the beach. We loved our stay and will definitely be coming again.

Peaceful and simple with gorgeous views
We really enjoyed our time at Paulo's place. The property is well-maintained and peaceful (we had the garden view with flowers and birds). And the best part is the deck overlooking the ocean - complete with a hot tub. Each of the 4 'tiny houses' come with a private front porch / deck. The unit is simple and has everything you need: Storage and closet space Kitchenette Dining and living space combo Bed with built-in lights and storage Bathroom with shower Oscillating floor fan Privacy curtains WiFi The location is good, just a short drive in either direction for restaurants or groceries. Paulo offers laundry pickup and delivery during the week. Paulo's directions and suggestions for places to visit and things to do really helped. And he was easily available through WhatsApp to connect during the day. We would recommend his place and will stay there again.

Beautify and thoughtful spot to stay on the island.
We adored everything about the Azores. Paulo’s place was a delightful home base for us and a lovely finish to each day after driving and hiking the island. The grounds are lovely and the hot tub overlooking the sea is a treat. Communication with Paulo is very quick and he is helpful with car reservations and transfers. Our only issue was with the check-in process. Check in is not allowed until 5:00. That’s very late on our opinion. It is also not possible to leave bags or access the grounds (which are large) until that time. This seems unnecessarily inflexible for those travelling overnight from North America. The only way around this is to book an extra night in advance of arriving, which feels punitive.

A bit of paradise on Sao Miguel
Our experience at this property could not have been better. From the well-appointed, extremely comfortable bungalows, to the gorgeous setting on a small peninsula jutting out into the ocean, It provided a soothing retreat after a day of taking in the island sights. Equally delightful was just spending time on the grounds, enjoying the surf, the hot tub, and beach. Added bonuses were the itinerary Paulo provided as a guide to the many beautiful places on the island, and his warmth and helpfulness thoughout our stay. We'd return again!

Magnificent property, wonderful host!
This bungalow is located on spectacular property, centrally located on the island to allow for easy exploration. The space was great for the two of us, nicely decorated and well stocked. The best part about staying here was the property itself. A long expanse of Gardens and Lawn lead you to multiple sitting areas and a hot tub from which you could see ocean on three sides.

Gorgeous property and location, wonderful hosts!
My partner and I had an amazing time here! The property is big and beautiful, with easy access to the natural pools. We also loved climbing on the big black volcanic rocks behind the property and exploring the tide pools. It’s in a perfect location in a cute little village on the north central coast of the island—close to the Caldeira Velha hot springs and the breathtaking Lagoa da Fogo. Paulo was such a gracious host, picking us up from the airport, getting us a discount on our rental car, and sitting down with us to help us plan an itinerary. Please be aware that there are 3 other bungalows on the property so it is only semi-private. There is also no air conditioning in the bungalows but we were cool at night with the windows open. Such a special place!

Outstanding host and fabulous location!
Our host Paulo far exceeded our expectations! Not only did he pick us up from the airport, but also arranged our car rental, dinner reservations, and even asked us what groceries we would like to have him buy for us ahead of time. Paulo spent a lot of time showing us around the property when we arrived and even sat down and explained all the different things and hikes to do around the island..He was exceptional! The property was off the charts beautiful too. I can’t say enough about our stay. Everything was top-notch! I have already recommended Paulo’s property to friends who plan on coming to Sao Miguel.

Excellent host
Paulo is very kind and goes above and beyond for his guests. The property is quite big and extends all the way down to the ocean and is adjacent to a public beach. As someone who found it challenging to build condensed itineraries for the island, I found it especially helpful that Paulo had pre-planned itineraries which he personally walked us through. Although I would say that renting an individual bungalow is ideal for couples/pairs, Paulo also owns a hostile in Ponta Delgada that we saw and it looked very nice for solo travelers!

Where do I even start? My husband and I spent the most incredible week at this property. From the moment we arrived, we knew we had chosen the perfect place to stay. The property owner, Paulo, met us when we arrived with a few groceries, which was very appreciated after an overnight flight. He was a wealth of information and extraordinarily helpful. He’s put together a great folder of information about the area, suggested restaurants, even itineraries that are thoughtfully crafted to allow you to make the most of your time on Sao Miguel. The property itself is just amazing. If I could give it more than five stars, I would. Perched on a beautiful point with a beach below with natural pools that are perfect for swimming… even with 15 foot waves crashing on the rocks behind, the natural pools remain calm and wonderful. I would recommend wearing water shoes as the rocks can be a bit uncomfortable to walk on in bare feet. The accommodations are four square stand-alone studios, each with a small porch with table and chairs. They are just the coolest and very comfortable. Paulo thought of absolutely everything, from USB ports built into the bed frame for charging phones without the need for a plug adapter, to bench seating that can be turned into an additional sleeping space. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you need, and everything was clean, comfortable and wonderful. The area is stunning. I mean Absolutely. Totally. Incredibly. Stunning. I just can’t say enough!
